App AB Riduan and his Employing Trainer, HY Cheng appeared before the Stewards and was questioned regarding App AB Riduan’s riding of HANDSOME BOY in the straight. In this regard, the Stewards specifically drew App AB Riduan’s attention to his looking back whilst using his whip, HANDSOME BOY shifting in behind runners at the 300M and the non-vigourous nature of his riding between the 200M and the 100M.
App AB Riduan explained that it was his riding style to move his head back between the 200M to the 100M whilst using his whip and that after he struck HANDSOME BOY with the whip, this gelding shifted in which resulted in it becoming awkwardly placed on heels. Therefore, he allowed this gelding to shift further in order to obtain clear running. The Stewards noted and accepted the explanation provided.
In respect of his non-vigourous riding, neither App AB Riduan nor Trainer HY Cheng were able to provide the Stewards with an acceptable explanation. However, in determining what sanction to take in this matter, the Stewards were of the view that prejudice from the Apprentice’s riding between the 200M to the 100M could not be definitely established after considering the finishing position of HANDSOME BOY and the distance between the first and second placings. Accordingly, App AB Riduan was issued with a severe reprimand.
