TARZAN (Y Aify) showed no pace in the early stages.
THAI BAHT (M Ganeesh) showed no pace in the early stages, despite Jockey M Ganeesh administering reminders at intervals from about the 1000M. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported that his instructions were to relax the gelding and conserve his energy for a late finish but THAI BAHT raced with little enthusiasm in the early stages. Jockey M Ganeesh further stated that THAI BAHT displayed some response when urged in the middle stages and caught up to the remainder of the field. However in the straight, the gelding displayed a tendency to shift away from the whip under pressure and he felt unable to use his whip with full vigour. He added that due to THAI BAHT’s greenness under pressure, the gelding was denied a clear run on more than one occasion. A post-race veterinary examination of THAI BAHT revealed no significant finding.
Approaching the 400M, D’GREAT RISE (J Low) was disappointed for a run on the heels of CONFOUND (S Ruzaini).

CHARLIES MISSILE (App WK Lee) which was beaten 23 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
At the conclusion of an inquiry, App AM Aizat, the rider of HALO BRIGHT, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1200M, he moved across DAHEES when not sufficiently clear, causing that horse to be carried inwards towards CHARLIES MISSILE which in turn was carried onto TILSWORTH JACOBI (J Low), which was severely checked.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App AM Aizat’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App AM Aizat’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 23 July 2018 and to expire on 5 August 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:45pm).

Between the 600M and 500M, D’GREAT CONQUEROR was forced to ease in order to avoid the heels of COMMANDO ECLIPSE (Y Aify) which laid in around the bend. As a result of this, Jockey Y Aify was warned by the Stewards that he must show greater awareness of runners on his inside in future.

JERAM VILLAGE (Z Khairil) was forced to race wide in the middle stages in an attempt to make progress. When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of JERAM VILLAGE, stated that his instructions were to race with cover. However, he felt that JERAM VILLAGE was struggling to maintain the pace over today’s shorter distance of 1200M, and therefore allowed JERAM VILLAGE to continue to race wide in order to maintain his momentum.
App AM Aizat, the rider of D’GREAT CONQUEROR, returned to scale 1.8kgs overweight. Initial evidence was taken from App AM Aizat, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, and Track Rider Muhammad Aiman Bin Mohd Nazir (TR.110), an employee of Trainer F Maynard. The Stewards adjourned the inquiry to a date to be fixed.

RAINBOW FISH (App AM Aizat) raced ungenerously in the early stages and had to be put under strong pressure to maintain his position. Thereafter, RAINBOW FISH raced wider around the bend in order to make progress. When questioned, Trainer R Lines, the trainer of RAINBOW FISH, stated that App AM Aizat reported that the horse had run flat. He added that RAINBOW FISH had been training well during the week. He was therefore unwilling to attribute the gelding’s disappointing performance to backing up within 7 days. The Stewards instructed Trainer R Lines to report anything he subsequently discovers that may have affected RAINBOW FISH’s performance.
