When questioned regarding this, Jockey R Shafiq stated that he believed that there were horses on his inside and was fearful that the pace may slacken if he attempted to take a position within the field. The Stewards considered that Jockey R Shafiq should have exercised the option of having obtained a trail behind WASHINGTON (AK Lim) instead of travelling wide from the 800M until passing the 600M.
On straightening, SATELLITE GOLDEN (Y Aify) drifted out, carrying D’GREAT SPEED outwards which bumped with WASHINGTON.

The inquiry into App N Varmah’s riding of TARGET in the initial stages was concluded on 5 December 2020 (Saturday). The delay in reconvening was caused by Trainer C Leck having to adhere to Covid 19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and that App N Varmah was on medical leave outside of Selangor.
App N Varmah explained that his instructions and intention had been to ride in a handy position but TARGET was a poor mannered horse in the barrier and had not begun quickly. Trainer C Leck confirmed the instructions and TARGET’s intractability. The Stewards issued a warning to App N Varmah to be ready and vigilant at the start.
