Incident Report
Withdrawn on raceday morning by order of the Stewards (inadvertent treatment). An inquiry into the matter was adjourned to a date to be fixed to allow Trainer W K Mo to attend who was not currently present in Hong Kong. Before being allowed to race again, LEGENDARY IMPACT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. <9/4/2025 Adjourned Inquiry – 6 April 2025 Sha Tin Racemeeting – Race 6 (567)> The Stewards today conducted an inquiry into the withdrawal of LEGENDARY IMPACT from the said race. Evidence was taken from Trainer W K Mo, Assistant Trainer K H Lam, Work Riders S L Lee and C K Sze, and Dr B S Forbes, Head of Veterinary Regulation, Welfare and Biosecurity Policy. After considering all the evidence, the Stewards established that despite having systems in place to prevent the administration of treatment on raceday, subsequent to LEGENDARY IMPACT working on the morning of 6 April 2025, it was inadvertently treated with Swede Clay, a topical treatment which does not contain any prohibited substances and is the usual treatment for the horse post track work. The Stewards were satisfied that the treatment was an oversight and not intentional conduct. Mr Mo pleaded guilty to a charge under Rule 155(29) for causing the application of the raceday treatment in that he did not have proper processes in place to prevent such treatment occurring. Mr Mo was fined the sum of $20,000. A report will be made to the Stables Management in relation to the conduct of the above staff members.
