Incident Report
After the event J Orman stated that the intention was to hold a more forward position but after jumping only fairly his mount was then crowded between WINNING MACHINE and RUN RAN RUN, both of which shifted ground which resulted in GLORIOUS KINGDOM settling further back. He added that his mount, which was having its first race start, hung in throughout the event and near the 800 Metres was steadied to avoid LOVEISINTHEAIR. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
Near the 800 Metres was steadied when crowded by ABSOLUTE HONOUR which was taken in by GLORIOUS KINGDOM (J Orman) when that runner hung in and away from GOLDENTRONICMIGHTY despite the efforts of its rider J Orman. As the Stewards were satisfied that Jockey Orman had made every endeavour to prevent his mount from shifting in no action was taken. After the race an endoscopic examination was conducted on A LA CHAMP at the request of Trainer T P Yung. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, A LA CHAMP will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
