ENJOY GOLF (J222): After the event, H Bowman reported that after being held up for clear running in the early stages of the Home Straight ENJOY GOLF responded only fairly to his riding and raced "flat”. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOR MO TUEN (J434): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. At the 400 Metres was directed to the inside of YUEN LONG ELITE to continue into clear running. Between the 200 Metres and the 100 Metres GOR MO TUEN was then held up behind AMAZING DUCK when that runner was giving ground. I AM THE BOSS (H446): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. After the 400 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when racing tight to the inside of JUMBO FORTUNE. ALL RICHES (G060): Sent for sampling post-race. YUEN LONG ELITE (J272): Passing the 400 Metres was held up for clear running behind RED ACLAIM and when being shifted out to obtain clear running made contact with MAJESTIC SPEED. When questioned, M L Yeung stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position, but his mount failed to show sufficient pace to do so. He added near the 1200 Metres he was steadied away from CHARITY FOR ALL which resulted in YUEN LONG ELITE settling further back in the field than what had been intended. AMAZING DUCK (H392): After the event, M F Poon reported that his mount coughed after passing the winning post. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, AMAZING DUCK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. RED ACLAIM (J017): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. SIXTH GENERATION (G120): Jumped only fairly. Near the 1200 Metres was steadied when crowded between RED ACLAIM (A Atzeni) which shifted in slightly before being corrected and MAJESTIC SPEED which was taken out slightly by YUEN LONG ELITE which shifted out when being steadied to avoid CHARITY FOR ALL (B Avdulla) when that runner shifted in when not quite clear. Both A Atzeni and B Avdulla were advised to exercise more care. MAJESTIC SPEED (J018): Jumped only fairly. Crowded near the 1200 Metres. After the 400 Metres and again after the 300 Metres was bumped and taken wider. CHARITY FOR ALL (H417): After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on CHARITY FOR ALL at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed the horse to have an epiglottic entrapment and a dorsal displacement of the soft palate. JUMBO FORTUNE (G195): Near the 350 Metres raced tight between ENJOY GOLF and CHARITY FOR ALL which shifted in slightly when giving ground. After the 100 Metres was eased and shifted to the outside of VIEW OF THE WORLD to continue into clear running. Sent for sampling post-race. TEAM HAPPY (J218): No report. VIEW OF THE WORLD (J348): Sent for sampling post-race.
