RACE 3 (247)

Began well from a wide draw, raced 2 wide, a length or so back, peaked on run 500M, weakened thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Near the 300 Metres was shifted to the outside of KOLACHI to obtain clear running and made contact with YOUNG BRILLIANT. When questioned regarding the improved performance Trainer K W Lui stated that the horse was advantaged by being dropped back in grade and also the addition of a tongue tie. He said whilst the horse’s track work had not been impressive he was satisfied with its most recent barrier trial on 13 November 2025. He added that, in his opinion, the most significant reason for the improved performance was the horse racing at Happy Valley for the first time tonight. Sent for sampling post-race.

Incident Report
Z Purton stated that his mount was able to obtain a position outside the lead as instructed. He added that in the Home Straight BULL ATTITUDE failed to respond to his riding and was disappointing. Trainer M Newnham stated that whilst he had requested the horse to be ridden in a forward position, in hindsight it may not have been suited by being ridden in this manner, particularly as it had disappointed previously on 21 September 2025 when ridden in a similar position. He added that at its next race start he would endeavour to instruct the jockey to ride the horse with cover. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Shifted in at start and made contact, raced 2 wide in midfield, awkwardly placed near 450M, 4 lengths back turning in, made minor progress in straight.
