Prior to the start of this race, it was discovered that the riders of horses STOP THE WATER (M Akmazani), ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN (App I Fikri) and BANKER’S PRETTY (App G Farhan) weighed out inclusive of their claims. As this was contrary to the program of this race. Accordingly, the Stewards ordered the 3 riders to unsaddle, return to the Clerk of Scales, reweigh, return to the start and their horses be resaddled.

In the concluding stages, RUMEUR was tightened for galloping room when awkwardly placed on the inside of BANKER’S PRETTY and outside of ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN, which switched out away from the whip continuously from the 250M.

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey R Woodworth, the rider of the fourth placed horse (RUMEUR) against the first placed horse, ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN (App I Fikri) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Panel overruled the objection and ordered the judge’s result to stand.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App I Fikri, the rider of ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to RUMEUR and BANKER’S PRETTY in the concluding stages.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App I Fikri’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) race days, to be deferred, with effect from 1 March 2026 and to expire on 8 March 2026, both dates inclusive.
