RACE 4 (R844) ENRICH STAKES A (SW) – 1200m(lc) – DISTINE 1957 STAKES
PERAK JULY (PERAK GOLD VASE) MEETING, 2ND DAY, SUNDAY, 2nd JULY 2017

On Wednesday, 5th July 2017, Trainer A Scott advised the Panel of Stewards that LISTEN had returned to the stables at Selangor Turf Club with swelling around its near side lower flank, an injury that the horse suffered in the race. The Perak Turf Club Veterinary Surgeon confirmed that he had observed the swelling after the race. The Panel of Stewards noted Trainer A Scott’s report and LISTEN will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

The Panel of Stewards questioned Jockey Y Aify, the rider of LISTEN in the above race today, Saturday, 8th July 2017. Jockey Y Aify stated that his instructions were to be midfield and that LISTEN traveled well and on entering the straight, was taken wider when CAPTAIN JAZZ (J Low) shifted out. Jockey Y Aify further stated that due to LISTEN’s tendency to lay in in the straight, he elected not to race wide and shifted in. At the 250M and the 100M, he had to stop riding and straighten LISTEN as it laid in.

Jockey Y Aify further stated that LISTEN finished the race off well and is better-suited over longer distance. The Panel of Stewards noted his explanations and advised him that in future, he is to ride all his mounts in a manner to leave no room for query.
