After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that DANESIS had sustained a cut to the left hind tendon. Before being allowed to race again, DANESIS will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

He said on entering the Back Straight VIGOR DELIGHT, when racing outside BILLION, was proving somewhat difficult to settle and rather than restraining the horse, he made the decision to allow it to stride forward and lead passing the 1000 Metres. When questioned regarding the improved performance of OLE OLE, Trainer A Lee stated that of its 5 races so far in Hong Kong, its best performance was over this course and distance when it finished 4½ lengths from the winner.

When questioned regarding the performance of NEEDLES AND THREAD, B Doyle said that the horse did not travel throughout the race as it normally does. He said he commenced to ride the horse along after passing the 600 Metres to have it improve its position, however, NEEDLES AND THREAD became unbalanced in its action and was most disappointing in the manner in which it weakened in the Straight. He said, in his opinion, NEEDLES AND THREAD may not have handled today’s track conditions. A veterinary inspection of NEEDLES AND THREAD after the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of NEEDLES AND THREAD, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, NEEDLES AND THREAD will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Race: 10 (375)	JEBSEN BUILDING PRODUCTS HANDICAP	Class 3	1400 m

Rounding the first turn, OUTDOOR PEGASUS shifted out and was checked away from the heels of CHEERFUL CITY. Near the 300 Metres, MR TOPAZ was steadied away from the heels of YOUNG HERO. Throughout the race, GO DAN GO travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of TAKEANOTHERCHANCE, W C Marwing said that after being slow to begin, he rode the horse along aggressively to have it make up lost ground. He said the horse failed to muster speed and he was obliged to ride it continually throughout the race to have it travel. He said a forward showing was expected of TAKEANOTHERCHANCE today as the horse had performed well in New Zealand on wet tracks prior to being imported into Hong Kong. He said, in his opinion, TAKEANOTHERCHANCE raced “flat” today. A veterinary inspection of SUPER CARDED after the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, SUPER CARDED will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of GO DAN GO after the race did not show any significant findings. CHEERFUL CITY and ELEGANCE DESIRE were sent for sampling.

General

1.

After the running of Race 1, the track classification was officially changed from “Good to Yielding” to “Yielding”. This change in the opinion of the Stewards should be recorded as being retrospective because the track has been affected by rain which fell before the running of the first race. As a consequence of this, the official results will show Race 1 being run on a track rated “Yielding”.
