The Stewards, on 20 September 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of BLACK THORN in the above race. Further evidence was taken from App S Zulfikri, the rider of BLACK THORN, in the presence of his Acting Master, B Trainer Siva Kumar s/o Subramaniam, and Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of BLACK THORN.

App S Zulfikri pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

After BLACK THORN laid in abruptly in response to the whip at the 350M, he continued to use his whip in his right hand when it was likely that this would cause interference and affect BLACK THORN’s momentum.

In the last 100M, he rode with a lack of vigour when BLACK THORN was holding a possible winning chance.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Zulfikri’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

After jumping from the barrier, Jockey S Thai Yang did not chase ZAC GALLANT forward as instructed and ended up further back than he had intended. Once at the rear, ZAC GALLANT began to race keenly and was unable to stay towards the inside and commenced to race wide on the turn from the 800M whilst making up ground. Trainer S Hamilton confirmed the instructions for this horse were to be closer to the pace and advised that this horse was difficult in the barrier and he was to be mindful. After considering the matter and reviewing the video replay, the Stewards advised Jockey S Thai Yang that they were not entirely satisfied with his ride as he should have attempted to maintain a more forward position earlier after the start.
