The Stewards concluded an inquiry into an altercation at trackwork on 19^th February 2020.

Evidence was taken from Trainers S Edwards and MW Teh. The Stewards also considered the video recordings of certain aspects of an exchange between the parties.

After considering the issue:

Trainer S Edwards was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner he addressed Trainer MW Teh.
Trainer MW Teh was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner in which he addressed Trainer S Edwards.
Both Trainers were reminded that common SLTC facilities were available to all trainers who were obliged to share respectfully.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO TRAINER MW TEH’S MANNER TOWARDS A SYCE ON 4 MARCH 2020 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SLTC)

Following a first-hand report from an attending Steward, Trainer MW Teh was questioned initially regarding the manner in which he addressed and referred to a Syce employed by another trainer on 4 March 2020.

After considering the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Trainer MW Teh had acted in an inappropriate verbal manner towards the Syce. Mr Teh was subsequently reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct and advised that a repetition would lead to action being taken.

The Stewards concluded the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the pre-race veterinary examination of TRINITY GRACE in the above race.

In consultation with Dr Shri Kanth, Senior Veterinary Surgeon of SLTC, the Stewards identified from video footage that TRINITY GRACE was fractious after being placed in the stalls and exited rearward on two (2) occasions.

SANDY’S PRIDE, a course scratching as it had sustained a swollen near fore fetlock, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

The Stewards permitted Jockey AK Lim to replace Jockey R Shafiq as the rider of KUTTNER as the latter was unable to fulfill his riding engagements for the day due to some personal matters.

Trainer R Lines stated that his instructions were to be handy to midfield. However, MAI DARKO stood and jumped much slower today than it did previously. App L De Souza confirmed that the gelding stood when the gates were released and as a consequence, he had to ride it out to make the lost ground in order to settle in a midfield position. He further stated that from the 800M, MAI DARKO was trapped wide round the turn until entering the straight. App L De Souza further stated that the gelding had a tendency to lay in racing to the 150M and as a consequence, he elected to ride with the whip in the left hand and MAI DARKO finished the race strongly. After viewing the vision in the presence of Trainer R Lines and App L De Souza, the Stewards noted their explanations.

GENERAL REPORT – SLTC

RACE 11 (R1595) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY,

22 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards opened an inquiry into a mix-up with saddles of GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) and READY TO STAR (HK Cheng) from Trainer R Lines’ stables. The mix-up necessitated reweighing of both riders prior to the race. An inquiry was adjourned to allow the Stewards to examine the CCTV footage of the weigh-in process.

After examining the CCTV footage of the weigh out process for Race 11 on 22 December 2019, it was ascertained that the mix-up numbers had come about due to negligence in part of Valet Ismail Bin Saleh who was assisting both Jockey HK Cheng (No. 6 – READY TO STAR) and App L De Souza (No. 4 – GOOD VIBRATIONS).

Mr K Visuanathan Kalimuthu (S477), Trainer R Lines’ Stable Supervisor, had identified the mistake when saddling GOOD VIBRATIONS with the saddle which he recognized as not being App L De Souza’s.

Jockey HK Cheng (READY TO STAR) was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for negligence for failing to ensure his saddle had the correct number.

App L De Souza (GOOD VIBRATIONS) was reprimanded for failing to ensure his saddle had the correct number, and was also reprimanded under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for negligence related to the veracity of his evidence.

Further, after considering that Valet Ismail Bin Saleh’s involvement in this matter were a repetition of his actions when suspended under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for negligence at SLTC on 5 August 2019, the Stewards deemed that any application to be licensed as a Valet by Mr Ismail Bin Salleh to work at SLTC for 2020 would not be accepted.
