7 CAPONE
(J Low) *(See Report)
8 MOONGATE
(L De Souza) Fly-jumped at the start.
Jockey J Low (CAPONE) appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his riding on CAPONE. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to the fact that after jumping well and obtaining the position behind the leader, he allowed his mount to drift back and WECANDO (SU Lim) to take his position in the running.
Jockey J Low explained to the Board that it was his instructions to ride this horse midfield therefore, he did not want to overly pressure this gelding to hold the position behind the leader as it would have been contrary to his instructions. Accordingly, he attempted to settle his mount, finding a position where it was comfortable and allowed it an opportunity to settle and run on in the straight. However, he further explained that despite travelling well in the running, this horse had nothing to come in the straight and faded tamely. The Board noted the explanation of Jockey J Low. Additionally, the Board interviewed Trainer HY Cheng who confirmed the statements of Jockey J Low in so far as they related to him.

(App I Fikri) Raced wide throughout.
8 BALKAN
(KP Lim) Over-raced in the early stages.
Jockey S Ruzaini reviewed the footage of the race pertaining to the incidents involving CHEVAL BLANC and MALAYSIA CAPTAIN. This was followed by an objection being lodged by the Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of the second placed horse (MALAYSIA CAPTAIN) against the winner, CHEVAL BLANC (KC Tham) on the grounds of interference and intimidation from the 450M. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered that, the distance between 2nd and 1st at the finish was 0.75L, notwithstanding the incident, MALAYSIA CAPTAIN appeared to have every opportunity to race past CHEVAL BLANC in the concluding stages and from the footage, and in particular the side-on angle, it appeared that CHEVAL BLANC always had the measure of MALAYSIA CAPTAIN.
Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that but for the above incident, MALAYSIA CAPTAIN would have finished ahead of CHEVAL BLANC, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.
