Recap by phillip woo

After a patient ride in third last, United Endeavors quickened nicely near the outside to get up in the closing stages and add to a win two runs ago in Class Five. He's in a good patch of form. Gallant Crown found one too good after surging to the lead near the 150m marker after tracking the speed from a tricky gate. He had shown a bit more spark in three prior starts and a win is around the corner. Mr Aladdin stayed on to finish a close third after bumping sharply at the top of the straight. He keeps promising without delivering on a win line. Punted late, Atomic Beauty travelled wide without cover from gate 12 but just failed to get up for a placing. It was another honest performance. Favourite Jumbo Legend was tight for room and jostled about over the final 100m following run on the rail in midfield. He should have finished closer with a clear run. Wood On Fire was on his tippy toes 100m out after dictating the pace from gate two. He doesn't quite get a mile. Turtle Again ran on without threatening after biding his time three from the rear. He prefers a longer trip.

Racing Incident Report

Race One : (532) - TO KWA WAN HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1650Meters

Horse No 1 VIVA HUNTER (E369) K Teetan After the race, K Teetan stated that the intention was to be closer in the event, however, his mount failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position.

He added when the pace of the race increased from the 700 Metres VIVA HUNTER came under pressure and did not finish the race off from that point.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 2 WINDICATOR FAMILY (H419) A Badel Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded between ATOMIC BEAUTY and WINNING SEVEN which was taken out by UNITED ENDEAVORS.

From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Horse No 3 WOOD ON FIRE (C460) H T Mo Raced keenly in the lead in the early and middle stages.

Horse No 4 GALLANT CROWN (D359) K C Leung Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 5 FOREMOST TEDDY (J058) B Thompson Near the 1450 Metres was steadied to avoid the heels of GALLANT CROWN (K C Leung) which shifted in when not quite clear.

K C Leung was reprimanded.

H Bentley (MR ALADDIN) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 300 Metres he directed his mount out, resulting in MR ALADDIN making heavy contact with FOREMOST TEDDY, taking FOREMOST TEDDY from its rightful running and resulting in the horse becoming badly unbalanced.

H Bentley was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 4 April 2024 at Sha Tin.

In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his very good race riding record.

Horse No 7 ATOMIC BEAUTY (H066) B Avdulla Near the 300 Metres was brushed.

Over the final 100 Metres raced tight when crowded between MR ALADDIN and JUMBO LEGEND.

When questioned, B Avdulla stated that his instructions were to hold an on-pace position preferably with cover but not to lead.

He said whilst the pace of the event was outside of standard throughout the early stages, he was reluctant to allow ATOMIC BEAUTY to stride forward considering his instructions.

He added that entering the Back Straight he allowed ATOMIC BEAUTY to improve slightly forward, but was reluctant to continue when he observed FOREMOST TEDDY to his inside commencing to shift out and as a result he elected to maintain his position behind that runner.

He stated as a result ATOMIC BEAUTY was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event.

Horse No 9 WINNING SEVEN (J005) A Atzeni Crowded shortly after the start and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
