Incident Report
Approaching the 200 Metres shifted out to improve into a narrow run between CALIFORNIATOTALITY and PACKING ANGEL. A short distance later CALIFORNIATOTALITY shifted in slightly, resulting in SAGACIOUS LIFE making contact with CALIFORNIATOTALITY. Leaving the 200 Metres SILVERY BREEZE (M F Poon) then shifted in and away from MAX QUE and made contact with CALIFORNIATOTALITY which resulted in CALIFORNIATOTALITY being taken in and making contact with SAGACIOUS LIFE, causing SAGACIOUS LIFE to be checked when crowded between PACKING ANGEL and CALIFORNIATOTALITY. Approaching the 100 Metres MAX QUE (A Badel) then shifted in, taking SILVERY BREEZE in onto CALIFORNIATOTALITY, causing further crowding to SAGACIOUS LIFE as it was being checked. M F Poon and A Badel were reprimanded and advised they must stop riding and straighten their mounts when they shift ground whilst not clear. J Moreira was advised he must ensure there is sufficient room when improving into runs. Sent for sampling post-race.

Taken back from wide draw and settled near last in a steadily run race, had 5Ls to make up 400M but responded only fairly. (Jockey - better suited by being stepped up in distance / Blood in trachea.)

Incident Report
M L Yeung stated that, in his opinion, the horse would be suited by being stepped up in distance but was disadvantaged by the middle stages being run outside of standard time. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, NAUTICAL FORCE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
