30 April 2010
The Stewards today concluded their inquiry into D Beadman's riding of COLLECTION in The Audemars Piguet QE II Cup, particularly over the final 100 Metres. Further evidence was today taken from D Beadman as well as Mr J Moore, the trainer of COLLECTION.
Mr Moore stated that he had not issued any firm instructions to Jockey Beadman on how COLLECTION should be ridden as the horse is well-known to him. He did say however that he had an expectation that the horse would be ridden behind midfield as this is the horse's usual racing pattern. He said he also felt that from barrier 8 in a field of 9, it would not be possible for COLLECTION to be further forward in the race as there would be a strong possibility that COLLECTION would not obtain cover which would not be in the best interests of the horse. He said it was decided for VIVA PATACA to be ridden in a more forward position in this race due to it having drawn inside COLLECTION and, in his opinion, VIVA PATACA is a more adaptable horse than COLLECTION. He said accordingly he was completely satisfied with COLLECTION's position in the race and was also comfortable with COLLECTION racing on the fence albeit that he was aware that this was not D Beadman's preference which was to race one off the fence behind SUPER SATIN. He said he was of the view that D Beadman had made the correct decision to shift COLLECTION to the outside of SUPER SATIN shortly after entering the Straight rather than risk having the horse held up for clear running. He said by shifting COLLECTION to the outside, the horse was afforded uninterrupted running which provided COLLECTION with the best opportunity to finish off the race. He said that his observation of the video was that D Beadman had hit the horse on 15 occasions with the whip in the right hand over the final 200 Metres right up to the finish of the race and it was also his observation that COLLECTION was laying in which required Jockey Beadman to have a tighter hold on the left rein than he normally would have so as to prevent the horse from shifting in further. He said at COLLECTION's last start when ridden by D Beadman, the horse had shifted in abruptly in the Straight, severely interfering with another runner and resulting in Jockey Beadman being suspended.
Mr Moore expressed complete satisfaction with the manner in which COLLECTION had been ridden by D Beadman in this race and, in his view, the principal reason for COLLECTION's failure to finish in the placings was the slow tempo of the race.
D Beadman was advised that the Stewards are aware that when riding a horse in any race, a jockey is required to balance the competing obligations in relation to the safety and welfare of every horse and rider in the race together with the necessity to adequately test his horse to ensure the best possible placing in the race is achieved. He was advised that whilst it was apparent that COLLECTION had laid in at various times during the race, had shifted ground inwards towards SUPER SATIN when being ridden out over the final 100 Metres and that he had used the whip on 15 occasions in the right hand over about the final 200 Metres until the finish of the race, his riding out of COLLECTION over the concluding stages had come under notice due to restricted movement of his left arm. He was further advised that whilst he had a number of considerations in his riding out of the horse over the concluding stages, he has an obligation under the Rules of Racing to ensure that wherever circumstances permit he must fully test his mounts so as to leave no room for query.
Mr Moore was advised that his evidence would be reported.
As previously advised, COLLECTION was found to have mild blood in its trachea following track work on Saturday, 17 April 2010. When questioned regarding this matter, Mr Moore confirmed that as is his general practice with his horses in the lead up to feature races, he had COLLECTION scoped following fast work on the stated morning. He said that COLLECTION's track work on this occasion had pleased him and the advice from the work rider was that COLLECTION had worked strongly. He said other than it being routine practice, there were no concerns out of this piece of work which led him to have the horse scoped. He said that after mild blood was found in the horse's trachea, he decided that as COLLECTION was fully fit, there was no further requirement for the horse to undertake fast work in the lead up to the race in question. He stressed that COLLECTION did not miss any work following this gallop and that he was pleased with the progress of COLLECTION in the lead up to the race. It was his professional opinion that COLLECTION was fully fit when it was presented to race at Sha Tin on Sunday, 25 April 2010.
When assessing a horse's suitability to race, the Club's Department of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison (DVR&IL) peruses the veterinary records of horses which are declared to run in advance of the respective horses undertaking their routine pre-race veterinary inspection the day prior to racing. The finding of blood in COLLECTION's trachea on 17 April 2010 had been properly entered into its veterinary record by Mr Moore's Clinical Veterinary Surgeon and this record was examined by the DVR&IL in the days leading up to the stated race.
It is widely accepted that a high percentage of horses will be found to have blood in the trachea following fast or intense track work. Mild blood in the trachea, which is generally graded as 2+ blood (grading 1 - 4), is best described as more than flecks of blood being found, but less than a continuous stream. Due to the high percentage of horses which may be found to have mild blood in its trachea after fast or intense work, whether it be following track work or racing, the DVR&IL does not report these findings as being of significance. This position in respect of reporting blood in the trachea is considered to be standard practice within the equine veterinary community.
Whilst the Club considers the dissemination of relevant information to the public to be of critical importance, at this time there is no intention for the Club to review its current reporting criteria in respect of blood being found in horses' tracheas.
