PERAK OCTOBER MEETING 2022

The report dated 13^th October 2022 (V22/153) from the Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics Laboratory stated that 32 coded urine and 34 sets of coded blood samples from the above- mentioned race meeting were received on 2^nd October 2022, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “33885” which revealed the presence of “Testosterone”. After decoding this sample number, it was established that the sample was reported to have been taken from the horse “FANTASTIC ECLIPSE” which won in Race 7 on 2^nd October 2022 at the Perak Turf Club October Meeting 2022.

Upon investigation, it was established that FANTASTIC ECLIPSE, trained by Trainer F Maynard, is a stallion and not a gelding. However, in the post-race urine collection form for FANTASTIC ECLIPSE on the day in question, the gender of FANSTASTIC ECLIPSE was erroneously stated as “gelding” instead of “stallion”.

Vide e-mail dated 20^th October 2022, Dr. Shri Kanth, Official Veterinary Surgeon of Selangor Turf Club confirmed that FANTASTIC ECLIPSE is a 7-year-old stallion and not a gelding. He further stated that the positive results to Testosterone is due to endogenous production of an intact male and as such, the analytical result should be considered negative in this case.

Taking into consideration the above circumstances, the Stewards were satisfied that the presence of Testosterone in urine sample coded “33885” was due to FANTASTIC ECLIPSE being a stallion and not a gelding and therefore took no further action on the matter.

RACE 1 (R1179) CLASS 5(B) – 1300M

DAWNBREAKER (KC Tham) stood and was slow to begin. In view of its adverse history of being slow to begin, DAWNBREAKER will be required to pass one (1) starting stall before being declared to race again.

POWER EXPRESS (R Rueven) was obliged to race wide in the early and middle stages.

PARISBAS (App R Nuqman), when racing tight at approximately the 600M-mark, was inconvenienced slightly between HYDRANT (App Clyde Leck) and NOVA DASHING (AM Aizat).

Between the 200M-mark and the 100M-mark, LEEDSTHEWAY (App S Sia) was held tight on the inside of D’GREAT MAGIC (J Low). Jockey J Low was shown the video of the incident and warned to give sufficient room to runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that PARISBAS returned having cast its off fore plate.

Post-race veterinary examinations of DAWNBREAKER and LEEDSTHEWAY revealed no obvious abnormality.

RACE 2 (R1180) CLASS 5(A) – 1300M

App R Nuqman was fined RM500/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as read with MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight on PENANG MAN. The Stewards permitted App SN Shiva to replace App R Nuqman as the rider of PENANG MAN.

App A Saran (GOLD SKY TRILLION) was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as read with MRA Rule 44(2) for failing to arrive on course at least 1 hour prior to the advertised time of his first carded engagement.

PULAU PINANG (App Z Syafifie) was re-saddled at the start. Acting on a report from the Official Starter, Trainer C Robert was warned that in future, he must pay greater attention to the saddling of his runners, failing which action may be taken against him.

GOLD SKY TRILLION jumped awkwardly outwards, making contact with GUILTY PLEASURES (App Clyde Leck).

NOVA PHOENIX (SU Lim) raced wide in the early and middle stages.

The saddle on PULAU PINANG slipped backwards in the running.

At approximately the 900M-mark, CHIPS (J Low) became crowded and was inconvenienced when PULAU PINANG rolled inwards slightly.

Jockeys R Rueven and AM Aizat, the respective rider of JULIUS CAESAR and D’GREAT STRIKE, both reported that their mounts were not striding out freely. Post-race veterinary examinations of JULIUS CAESAR and D’GREAT STRIKE revealed no obvious abnormality. D’GREAT STRIKE which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that GOLD SKY TRILLION returned lame near fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again. Despite this report, the Stewards were not satisfied with the manner in which this gelding was ridden and decided to open an Inquiry into the running and handling of GOLD SKY TRILLION.

After taking evidence from Trainer K Ananthen, the trainer of GOLD SKY TRILLION and App A Saran in the presence of his Employing Trainer, T Asogan and after reviewing the video. App A Saran was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding GOLD SKY TRILLION, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that GOLD SKY TRILLION was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The particulars of the charge were that:-

at about the 1100M-mark, he took his mount approximately 6 horses wide for no apparent reason;
he continued to race 5-6 horses wide around the turn and into the straight, covering unnecessary ground;
he entered the home straight wide and took hold of his mount in the straight, restraining it when it was running on strongly, finishing in second place, 1 length off the winner.

When deciding on the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, App A Saran’s riding record and his points of mitigation. After considering the provisions of MRA Rule 44(8)(a), App A Saran was disqualified from riding in races for a period of twelve (12) months with effect from Sunday, 9^th October 2022 and to expire on Sunday, 8^th October 2023, both days inclusive. In addition, he was fined a sum of RM30,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit Thirty Thousand). He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.55pm).

A post-race veterinary examination of SHYAM SINGHA ROY revealed that the gelding returned with intermittent dorsal displacement of soft palate and mild respiratory distress. SHYAM SINGHA ROY will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

App A Azizi, the rider of SHYAM SINGHA ROY, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer T Asogan, was shown the video of his ride in the latter stages and was warned against the practice of using his whip on a horse that is clearly beaten.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY which was down 19kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (SU Lim) was hanging out in the latter stages and shortly thereafter, Jockey SU Lim changed his whip into his left hand, resulting in HAPPY BIRTHDAY shifting out further. Jockey SU Lim was shown the video of this incident and was warned to take stricter measures to keep his horses from shifting ground in the future.

A post-race veterinary examination of MAZANZE (HS Gill) revealed no obvious abnormality.
