After the 1200 Metres, TURF EXPRESS was left racing wide and without cover. Near the 150 Metres, SICHUAN SUCCESS was steadied away from the heels of LITTLE BRIDGE (Z Purton) which shifted in when not properly clear. Z Purton was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he makes every effort to keep his mounts on a straight course in future. When questioned, Trainer J Moore stated that he had intended for MILITARY MOVE to be ridden in a slightly more forward position today than previously due to the anticipated lack of pace in the race. He said however that in a telephone conversation with the owner of MILITARY MOVE, the owner was adamant that MILITARY MOVE should be ridden in a more forward position as, in his opinion, there was no speed in the race apart from MULTIGLORY. He said the owner therefore hoped that MULTIGLORY would be able to lead on the fence and MILITARY MOVE would be able to race to the outside of that horse. Mr Moore added that the owner of MILITARY MOVE had explained that the horse was ridden in a forward position when it was successful in New Zealand prior to arriving in Hong Kong and therefore he had expressly wanted the horse to be ridden in a similar manner. The Stewards contacted Mr Stephen Lo Kit Sing who confirmed that he advised Mr Moore that he wished for MILITARY MOVE to be ridden more forward today, similarly to how it was ridden in New Zealand prior to it being imported to Hong Kong. Mr Lo further advised that following the disappointing performance of MILITARY MOVE today, he will discuss with Mr Moore how the horse should be ridden in the future. LUCKY NINE and XTENSION were sent for sampling. * * * Some huge prices especially in the 1st. * * * Captain Sweet wins again (R10).

Poor kid.
Thursday, January 27, 2011 Troubled Chui's career looks over after failing to win back licence Patrick Allen SCMP Disqualified jockey Marco Chui Kwan-lai has failed to convince the Jockey Club's licensing committee his contract should be renewed for the remainder of this season and the troubled rider's career now looks all but over - pending his right of appeal. http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20110127b.asp I know that Richard Gibson going to HK is bigger news... http://racing.scmp.com/freeservice/n...s20110127a.asp ... but wow I feel really bad for Marco.

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=8&venue=ST http://special.hkjc.com/promo/en/201...n-stewards.asp I just watched... very nice! I loved the way Callen reached over to Mosse afterwards. It's a little sad to see the members of the old guard passing the torch, isn't it? Good for Beauty Flash though! Should I know this trainers name ed? http://www.hkjc.com/english/pp_formsheet/fse_K314.pdf Was surprised by the great showing by Sunny King. Where did that come from? Hope Thumbs Up is okay.

Before being allowed to race again, THUMBS UP will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Passing the 1400 Metres, SUNNY KING got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of CHATER WAY. For some distance approaching and passing the 1200 Metres and again near the 1000 Metres, SPECIAL DAYS raced tight inside IRIAN (B Doyle) which shifted in. B Doyle was severely reprimanded and advised that he must at all times ensure that his fellow riders have comfortable racing room. VIVA PATACA got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of SPECIAL DAYS near the 1000 Metres. For some distance approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, SIGHT WINNER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BEAUTY FLASH. VIVA PATACA was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight and then passing the 200 Metres was again held up and unable to obtain clear running for the remainder of the race. Consequently VIVA PATACA was not able to be properly tested in the Straight. D Whyte (CHATER WAY) dropped his whip near the 250 Metres. Over the concluding stages, IRIAN raced in restricted room between BEAUTY FLASH and SUNNY KING, both of which shifted slight ground. Throughout the race, YOUNG ELITE travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. A veterinary inspection of YOUNG ELITE after the race revealed that the horse had bled from both nostrils. When questioned, D Whyte stated that he had been instructed to ride CHATER WAY in midfield or slightly behind midfield if possible. He said it was felt that the horse had not been finishing off its races when being ridden in forward positions at its most recent starts and it was therefore hoped that if the horse were able to be ridden more conservatively today, it would be able to close off more effectively. He said however in the Straight CHATER WAY got its head on the side and hung out away from runners to its inside and was disappointing in its failure to finish off the race. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that CHATER WAY had lost its left front plate and that FELLOWSHIP had sustained a cut to the right front cannon. IRIAN, BEAUTY FLASH and SUNNY KING were sent for sampling. Quote:
