Race: 1 (760)	VICTORY HANDICAP	Class 5	1200 m
From wide barriers, both MY WAY and THE KID were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Also shortly after the start, BERNINI was crowded for room between TRANSCENDENCE and SMART CODE, both of which shifted ground. Approaching the 1000 Metres, TRANSCENDENCE was steadied away from the heels of SCOOT DA LOOT. After this, TRANSCENDENCE was left racing wide and without cover. Inside the 100 Metres, DIAMOND PRINCE and THE KID bumped due to both horses shifting ground. When questioned regarding the performance of TREASURABLE, Apprentice K C Leung stated that his mount travelled only fairly during the race and after being awkwardly placed close to the heels of BERNINI shortly after entering the Straight, TREASURABLE was most disappointing in its failure to respond to his riding. He added that he had worked TREASURABLE in the lead up to tonight’s race and, in his opinion, this work had been good. A veterinary inspection of TREASURABLE after the race did not show any significant findings. KING’S CHOICE and SCOOT DA LOOT were sent for sampling.

Race: 2 (761)	HAPPY HANDICAP	Class 4	1650 m
As the start was effected, THINK BIG, which had been fractious in the barriers, lifted its front feet off the ground and consequently was slow to begin. RECORD HIGH shifted in at the start and bumped CHARITABLE STAR. Shortly after the start, MEDIC FORTUNE was steadied away from the heels of BLEDISLOE. Passing the 1300 Metres, THINK BIG was momentarily crowded for room inside KIMBER FORTUNE. Near the 1250 Metres, RECORD HIGH raced tight inside KOENIGSBERG which at this time got its head on the side and lay in towards the heels of CHARITABLE STAR. For some distance approaching and passing the 1200 Metres, CARISSIMA proved difficult to settle when being steadied to allow CLASSA SUPREME to cross. Near the 850 Metres, RECORD HIGH shifted out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of CHARITABLE STAR. THINK BIG and KIMBER FORTUNE, which were following, were hampered in consequence. At the entrance to the Straight, RECORD HIGH was steadied away from the heels of CHARITABLE STAR which itself was steadied when awkwardly placed close to the heels of CARISSIMA. Then passing the 300 Metres, RECORD HIGH, when being shifted to the inside to obtain clear running, was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of CARISSIMA. Passing the 200 Metres, CHARITABLE STAR had difficulty obtaining clear running behind LIONS’ FORTUNE which at this time got its head on the side and shifted in. Near the 100 Metres, CHARITABLE STAR and LIONS’ FORTUNE bumped, resulting in both horses becoming unbalanced. Y T Cheng (RECORD HIGH) was advised against the practice of easing his mounts down prior to the finishing line whilst other runners were still in contention. After the race, D Beadman expressed concern with the action of HIGH LUCK. A veterinary inspection of HIGH LUCK after the race revealed that the horse was lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, HIGH LUCK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of THINK BIG after the race did not show any significant findings. RECORD HIGH and MEDIC FORTUNE were sent for sampling. <15/7/2010 Additional Veterinary Report> HIGH LUCK, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time the horse was lame in its left front leg. HIGH LUCK was again examined by the Head of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison at the stables of Trainer J Moore this morning.

Race: 3 (762)	GOOD LUCK HANDICAP	Class 4	1200 m
GALLANT HUSSAR was slow to begin and shortly after the start was checked away from the heels of DAILY DOUBLE which was taken out by JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (B Prebble) which began awkwardly and shifted out. In this incident, GALLANT HUSSAR struck the heels of DAILY DOUBLE. B Prebble explained that JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE was extremely fractious in the barriers and lunged at the front gates just prior to the start being effected. He said JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE then began awkwardly and despite being ridden along in the early stages did not muster speed as it usually does. KARBRIDGE began awkwardly and shifted out, resulting in BENEFACTOR being hampered. Near the 500 Metres, ASIAN CITRUS was steadied away from the heels KARBRIDGE. Also near the 500 Metres, LUCKY TYCOON was steadied when awkwardly placed close to the heels of BENEFACTOR. DAILY DOUBLE was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn. When questioned, J Lloyd stated that he had not been under any firm riding instructions on JOYFUL JOYFUL other than have the horse racing where it was comfortable. He said it was anticipated that a number of runners would be ridden to obtain forward positions in the early stages and therefore he was instructed not to make too much use of JOYFUL JOYFUL to go forward in the early stages. He said JOYFUL JOYFUL began well, he immediately looked to obtain a position with cover and when he observed COUNTRY MAGIC being ridden along to his inside, he elected after the 1000 Metres to attempt to obtain a position with cover behind that horse. He said when he did this, JOYFUL JOYFUL got its head up and proved difficult to settle. He said he did consider riding JOYFUL JOYFUL along in an endeavour to go forward of COUNTRY MAGIC, however, having in mind he had been instructed to have JOYFUL JOYFUL racing where it was comfortable, he felt that he would have to make too much use of the horse to clear COUNTRY MAGIC. He said because of this JOYFUL JOYFUL travelled three wide and without cover for the major part of the race. Trainer A Lee stated that due to the anticipated pace of the race, he did not think that JOYFUL JOYFUL would be as prominently placed as it had been at its previous start. He said therefore it was hoped that JOYFUL JOYFUL would be able to obtain a position in midfield with cover. J Lloyd was advised that his explanation would be reported, however, on this occasion he should have ridden JOYFUL JOYFUL more positively in the early stages in an attempt to obtain an available position closer to the fence in advance of COUNTRY MAGIC so as to avoid racing wide. A veterinary inspection of FORTUNE SPIRIT and JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE after the race did not show any significant findings. FORTUNE SPIRIT, COSMO SUCCESSOR and ASIAN CITRUS were sent for sampling.

Race: 4 (763)	LUCKY HANDICAP	Class 4	1800 m
As the start was effected, OASIS DAVIS stood flat-footed and lost a considerable amount of ground. Before being allowed to race again, OASIS DAVIS will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial. GOLDMEN Y Y was slow to begin. For some distance passing the 1600 Metres, NICKU proved difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions. Passing the 1600 Metres, GOLDMEN Y Y was steadied away from the heels of TREMENDOUS PLUS. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, ROCKET AND GOLD was checked when crowded for room inside TREMENDOUS PLUS which, after initially racing tight inside MASTER DREAMER (G Cheyne), got its head on the side and shifted in of its own accord. G Cheyne was advised to ensure that he leaves comfortable racing room to runners on his inside in future. Passing the 900 Metres, GOLDMEN Y Y was awkwardly placed close to the heels of THISTLE SPIRIT which shifted in. After this, GOLDMEN Y Y was shifted to the outside of THISTLE SPIRIT to improve its position. A veterinary inspection of GOLDMEN Y Y after the race did not show any significant findings. HOW WONDERFUL and HO WONGCHOY were sent for sampling. <15/7/2010 Additional Veterinary Report> The Clinical Veterinary Surgeon reported that NICKU was lame in its right front leg on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, NICKU will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Race: 5 (764)	CONGRATULATION HANDICAP	Class 3	1800 m
SHAM SHUI PO was slow to begin. Shortly after the start, EASTERN EMPIRE shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of NOBLE FLIER which became unbalanced. LEO’S PRIDE was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn and until passing the 200 Metres. For the major part of the race, YOUNG HERO travelled wide and without cover. When questioned, H W Lai stated that it had been intended for LEO’S PRIDE to be ridden in a midfield position if possible. He said at its most recent start LEO’S PRIDE stood flat-footed at the start and lost a considerable amount of ground. He said for this reason he rode LEO’S PRIDE along in the early stages to ensure that it did not lose unnecessary ground at the start. He said shortly after the start he steadied LEO’S PRIDE to allow other runners to cross and he anticipated that VANQUISH DELIGHT would be steadied to allow YOUNG HERO to cross which would result in LEO’S PRIDE racing in about midfield. He said however that VANQUISH DELIGHT maintained its position in the lead and this resulted in LEO’S PRIDE occupying a more prominent position than had been anticipated. A veterinary inspection of LOCAL POWER after the race did not show any significant findings. KENOBE and EURO SWIFTLY were sent for sampling. <15/7/2010 Additional Veterinary Report> The Clinical Veterinary Surgeon reported that SPINNAKER was lame in its right front leg on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, SPINNAKER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Race: 6 (765)	CELEBRATION HANDICAP	Class 3	1200 m
Shortly after the start, MY MEMORY shifted out and bumped BROTHERS IN ARMS. M Chadwick (GREAT LUCK) dropped his whip at the 200 Metres. When questioned, Apprentice K W Leung stated that he had been instructed to lead on GOLDEN BAUHINIA. He said his mount began awkwardly and was slow to begin, therefore he rode the horse aggressively in the early stages to take up a forward position. He said he took some time to cross BROTHERS IN ARMS to his inside which he was able to do at the 800 Metres. He said as he had established a margin over MY MEMORY which was racing on the fence, he elected to continue riding GOLDEN BAUHINIA along in an attempt to clear that horse. He said passing the 700 Metres he formed the view that he would not be able to cross that horse, therefore he allowed GOLDEN BAUHINIA to race to the outside of MY MEMORY. Apprentice Leung was advised that after crossing BROTHERS IN ARMS, his mount would have been better served by not continually being ridden along so as to afford the horse the opportunity to finish off the race. SOARING RIVER and JUMBO GOLD were sent for sampling.

Race: 7 (766)	CHEERFUL HANDICAP	Class 3	1650 m
NAPA II was slow to begin. Shortly after the start, KINGSTON ELITE was crowded for room between MARK UP and GO LUCKY GO which was taken in slightly by DORDENMA. In this incident, KINGSTON ELITE bumped the hindquarters of MARK UP which became unbalanced. After being ridden along in the early stages to obtain a forward position, PACKING BUDDY was shifted across behind runners passing the winning post on the first occasion when travelling wide. In the early stages, MARK UP proved difficult to settle. Shortly after entering the Straight, GO LUCKY GO (Apprentice K W Leung) was shifted out to obtain clear running and in doing so made heavy contact with the hindquarters of PACKING BUDDY which became badly unbalanced. SHANGHAI PIONEER, which was racing to the outside of PACKING BUDDY, was hampered in consequence. Apprentice Leung was reprimanded and advised to exercise care when shifting ground in future. In the early part of the Straight, REGENCY WINNER had some difficulty obtaining clear running. Throughout the race, DORDENMA travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. 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. NAPA II, NATIONAL TREASURE and HAPPY PRESTIGE were sent for sampling. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that HAPPY PRESTIGE had lost its right hind plate.

Race: 8 (767)	BRAVO HANDICAP	Class 1	1200 m
GOOD STRIKE knuckled over at the start. TAI SING YEH shifted in at the start and was steadied away from the heels of HONGKONG SUPERSTAR. Near the 500 Metres, GOOD STRIKE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ELITE OF CHIU TON. Near the 100 Metres, ELITE OF CHIU TON was steadied when crowded for room between HONGKONG SUPERSTAR and TAI SING YEH which was taken in by PERFECT STYLE (B Prebble). B Prebble was severely reprimanded and advised that he should have stopped riding and straightened his mount. Near the 50 Metres, HAPPY REUNION was steadied away from the heels of LOYAL ARMY. Over the concluding stages, BRILLIANT CHAPTER was awkwardly placed inside the heels of TAKE THE RAP which got its head on the side, shifted in and itself became awkwardly placed close to the heels of GOOD STRIKE. When questioned, H W Lai advised that he had been instructed to ride HAPPY REUNION quietly from barrier 10 as the horse had not finished its last two races off when ridden in a forward position. He said in those races the horse had been left racing wide from similar barriers and it was felt that if the horse was to be ridden in a forward position tonight, it would likely be left racing wide again. He said accordingly he took HAPPY REUNION across behind runners shortly after the start. He said when ridden in this fashion, HAPPY REUNION, which has hung in in its races, raced more tractably and finished off the race well. Trainer P F Yiu confirmed the instructions given to H W Lai. A veterinary inspection of TAI SING YEH and GOOD STRIKE after the race did not show any significant findings. TAI SING YEH, PERFECT STYLE and WILLING STORM were sent for sampling. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that PERFECT STYLE and HONGKONG SUPERSTAR had both lost their right front plates.
