The Stewards permitted Jockey HK Cheng to replace Jockey M Hanif as the rider of NO NONSENSE as the latter was medically stood down.

NAPOLEON (App S Saddam) shifted out on jumping away and at the same time MESSI (App S Hafis) shifted in, resulting in GHOST CITY (SS Vanan), D’GREAT EASY (App L De Souza) and TONGARIRO (J Low) all being tightened for room and having to steady. As a result, TONGARIRO and MESSI lost their positions.

SATELLITE TURBO (S Ruzaini) stood when the gates were released, was slow to jump and lost considerable ground. SATELLITE TURBO will be required to pass one (1) starting stall test before being declared to race again.

SATELLITE TURBO failed to show any early pace despite being urged.

Post-race veterinary examinations of TONGARIRO and SATELLITE TURBO revealed no obvious abnormality.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT – THURSDAY, 31 JANUARY 2019

RACE 3 (R082) CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 19 JANUARY 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2019

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of BIG PARIS and took evidence from Jockey HS Gill and Trainer SY Lim, the rider and trainer of BIG PARIS respectively.

Trainer SY Lim stated that BIG PARIS, which is a maiden, tends to perform best when ridden handy. The gelding has also raced well when allowed to lead, but it is not essential that it does so.

Jockey HS Gill stated that BIG PARIS was never travelling with any fluency, and carried his head awkwardly under pressure in the middle stages. He added that BIG PARIS responded just fairly in the straight and was one-paced. The Stewards observed that in the last 400M, Jockey HS Gill appeared to ride in a manner different to his usual style. He seemed not to be in rhythm with his mount and was upright in the saddle, in companion to his riding in Races 2 and 9 on the same day.

Jockey HS Gill explained that BIG PARIS laid outwards in the last 400M and therefore he kept a tight grip of the left rein and shifted his weight inwards in response. This may have caused him to appear more upright than usual, and he admitted that he found it difficult to keep rhythm with the gelding whose response was, in any case, limited. He had reported to a Stipendiary Steward immediately after the race that BIG PARIS was not striding out well, but failed to mention the fact that it also laid outwards.

Having heard this evidence and viewed the vision of the race, the Stewards accepted Jockey HS Gill’s explanation but warned him that, in future, he must take care to comply with his responsibilities under MRA Rule 44(11) to report to the Stipendiary Stewards anything that may have affected the performance of his horse in the race.

TUESDAY, 29 JANUARY 2019, OFFICIAL BARRIER TEST

RAJA MAHESA which bled, will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
