GENERAL REPORT(S)

PENANG JULY MEETING 2022, SATURDAY, 30^TH JULY 2022

RACE 7 (R902) CLASS 5(B) – 1400M

At the conclusion of an Inquiry today (31^st July 2022), App AR Aiman, the rider of TRAVIS, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer B Ng, was found guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) punishable under MRA Rule 44(8)(a) for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that TRAVIS was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The details of the charge are that:

Having had a good jump, he shortly thereafter took hold of his mount and shifted out, crossing and interfering with D’GREAT MAGIC (AK Lim);

He then continued to restrain his mount, resulting in it being placed last from the 800M-mark until the 300M-mark which was contrary to instructions and resulting in his mount being unable to race to its best advantage;

(iii) He raced 3 wide on the turn and again took hold of his mount at the 300M-mark and thereafter when his mount was starting to run on, he shifted in behind other runners at the 100M-mark.

In assessing the penalty, the Stipendiary Stewards took into account App AR Aiman’s riding records and mitigating factors. He was disqualified from riding in races for a period of one (1) year with effect from Sunday, 31^st July 2022 and to expire on Sunday, 30^th July 2023, both dates inclusive. In addition, App AR Aiman was fined the sum of RM30,000/-. (Malaysian Ringgit: Thirty Thousand Only). He was informed of his right of appeal (12:50pm).

The Stewards today (27^th February 2022) concluded an Inquiry into the above matter. Evidence was taken from App AB Riduan in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr HY Cheng, Dr Chan Sue Hay, Chief Analyst of USains Biomics Laboratory and Mr Jason Tan from Usains Biomics Laboratory.

App AB Riduan pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 136(3)(b) and the particulars of the charge were that a urine sample coded J-6393, submitted by him on 29^th January 2022 at the Penang Turf Club January Meeting 2022, upon analysis, revealed the presence of “Mitragynine”, which is a prohibited substance under the MRA Rules.

In deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account his guilty plea, the nature and the seriousness of the prohibited substance and the fact that it is his second offence within 12 months for the same prohibited substance. App AB Riduan was disqualified for a period of one (1) year backdated to Saturday, 29^th January 2022, which is the date when he was stood down from riding and to expire on Saturday, 28^th January 2023, both days inclusive. He was informed of his Right of Appeal (10.50 am).

App AB Riduan, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr HY Cheng further pleaded guilty to 2 other charges under MRA Rule 152(3)(a) and MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that at approximately 12.30 pm on 29^th January 2022 at the designated urine collection area within the Penang Turf Club, he falsely informed the Stipendiary Steward on duty that he did not have anything concealed in his clothing when in fact and known to him, he had concealed in his under clothing a plastic bottle containing urine which he had brought with him with an intention to substitute the urine in the concealed plastic bottle for his urine sample that had been expressly requested for analysis.
