Incident Report
Approaching the 450 Metres FORTUNATE SON (L Hewitson) improved into a run between LUPO SOLITARIO and ENTHRALLED when there was not sufficient room to do so, resulting in ENTHRALLED being bumped heavily by FORTUNATE SON and taken wider. L Hewitson was reprimanded and advised that he must ensure that there is sufficient room when improving. Near the 150 Metres was checked to avoid the fallen LUPO SOLITARIO.

Taken back from a wide draw, raced at tail, 7 lengths back turning in, made no impression in straight.

Incident Report
Bumped at the start and became unbalanced. In the early stages raced keenly. Near the 150 Metres was severely checked to avoid the fallen LUPO SOLITARIO. When questioned regarding his riding making the Home Turn and the reason he elected to shift out, L Hewitson stated that he felt his best option was to improve to the outside of LUPO SOLITARIO to follow the favourite in the event SILVERY BREEZE. He said as he endeavoured to do so LUPO SOLITARIO shifted out slightly which resulted in his mount then being held up for clear running behind LUPO SOLITARIO and having to make contact with ENTHRALLED to shift out. He added whilst he had observed a run may be available to his inside to follow PACKING TURBINE, he felt his best option was to endeavour to follow SILVERY BREEZE.

Out in line, raced 3 wide better than midfield, 1 to 2 lengths back turning in, peaked early in straight, weakened final furlong. (See Racing Incidents.)

Commenced well, raced prominently on the outside, there to turn, peaked early in straight, weakened final 200M.

Incident Report
Contacted heavily near the 150 Metres and as a result fell, dislodging its rider M L Yeung. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have blood in the left nostril. An endoscopic examination conducted on LUPO SOLITARIO found that there was no blood in its trachea and therefore the blood in the nostril was determined to be not coming from the lungs and as such the horse was deemed not to have bled. <10/2/2025 Additional Veterinary Report>LUPO SOLITARIO, which fell near the 150 Metres, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time the horse was found to have blood in the left nostril. An endoscopic examination conducted on LUPO SOLITARIO found that there was no blood in its trachea and therefore the blood in the nostril was determined to be not coming from the lungs and as such the horse was deemed not to have bled. LUPO SOLITARIO was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer F C Lor this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, LUPO SOLITARIO will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
