Z Purton was suspended from riding in races for one Hong Kong raceday to be conducted on Wednesday, 28 May 2025 at Happy Valley.

Prior to declaring weighed-in Jockey H Bowman and Trainer D Eustace viewed the patrol films to ascertain if there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection against SURE JOYFUL being declared the winner due to MIDORI FUJI being contacted on a number of occasions over the final 100 Metres when FOREVER GLORIOUS was carried out by SURE JOYFUL.

He added that in the Home Straight SUPER SICARIO hung in, made contact with COURIER MAGIC over the final 100 Metres and proved difficult to ride out. When questioned regarding his mount settling more forward, K De Melo stated that with the horse stepping up in distance he was given the option of taking up a more forward position if circumstances permitted.
