The Stewards have considered an application from the Owners’ representative of GLOBAL HARMONY to permit GLOBAL HARMONY to continue to race in Hong Kong following the horse refusing to jump from the starting gates on 21 January 2024 and most recently on 18 February 2024.

After considering the application and consistent with previous similar decisions of the Stewards, it has been determined that GLOBAL HARMONY will be permitted to continue to race in Hong Kong subject to the following conditions:

1. The horse is embargoed from racing in Hong Kong for four (4) months from 18 February 2024.
2. The horse must compete in a minimum of five (5) consecutive barrier trials in Hong Kong to the satisfaction of the Stewards, with a minimum of two (2) of those barrier trials to be conducted from the 1600 Metres starting point.  The same gear must be worn by the horse on raceday as used in all five (5) barrier trials.
3. Prior to barrier trialing the horse must satisfactorily compete in two (2) jump-outs with at least one (1) of those jump-outs to be conducted in Hong Kong.
4. Should GLOBAL HARMONY refuse to jump or be very slow to jump in any of the barrier trials, the Stewards will make a recommendation that the horse should be compulsorily retired from racing in Hong Kong.
