Racing Incident Report
Horse No 1 KINGLY DEMEANOR (H486) Y L Chung Raced wide and without cover in the early stages and was allowed to stride forward and take up a position outside the lead passing the 1200 Metres.
Horse No 2 TURTLE AGAIN (H083) H Bowman From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Horse No 4 YEE CHEONG WARRIOR (E025) K Teetan Jumped only fairly.
When questioned regarding his riding from the 700 Metres, K Teetan stated that after improving to follow ARTHUR'S KINGDOM, he observed both GO GO GO and HAPPY HERO to commence a forward move.
He said as his instructions included that YEE CHEONG WARRIOR is one-paced and likes to obtain clear running out wide, he elected to shift out to follow those runners into the event.
He added as he did so ARTHUR'S KINGDOM improved, however, YEE CHEONG WARRIOR responded only fairly to his riding and finished the race off in a one-paced manner.
Trainer D J Hall confirmed the advice given to Jockey Teetan that YEE CHEONG WARRIOR prefers to race with clear racing room to the outside of the field in the Home Straight.
After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on YEE CHEONG WARRIOR at the request of Mr Hall.
The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
Before being allowed to race again, YEE CHEONG WARRIOR will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
