ROYAL FLUSH

(R Shafiq)

*(See Report)

Jockey R Shafiq appeared before the Panel and was questioned regarding the riding tactics of ROYAL FLUSH. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to the fact that the pattern of racing for this mare in winning its last 2 races was to get back in the running and be produced late to finish its race of strongly. However today, the Panel noted that ROYAL FLUSH had been ridden in a more forward position.

Jockey R Shafiq explained that his instructions were to ride ROYAL FLUSH in the position where it was most comfortable and after jumping unexpectedly well, he allowed this mare to stride into a position whilst racing within itself. He further explained that he too, had anticipated when reading the race that he would settle near the back of the field and ride this mare to its pattern in its previous 2 runs, however, after jumping as well as it did, he took that stance that it would be more detrimental to his mount’s chances to restrain it to the rear of the field than to allow it the opportunity to take advantage of the good start it had gained. The Board noted his explanation.

The Stewards reviewed the films of the incident and considered the evidence tendered.

  1. Throughout the straight, his riding was lacking in vigour and determination, despite his mount finishing its race off strongly and being in contention at the finish; and

  2. Prior to the final strides of the race, he failed to direct his mount with the requisite urgency into clear running and at various points, unnecessarily directed his mount into a different unclear running line despite having every opportunity in order to obtain clear running.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Shazmin’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

Hung inwards in the straight and shifted in away from the whip. *(See Report)

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by the Trainer S Dunderdale, the Trainer of the fourth placed horse, PASIR PINJI (App T Ammar) against the second placed horse, BLACK THORN (SU Lim) on the grounds of interference in the straight.

After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board upheld the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered the extent of the interference caused, the distance over which the interference took place and the margin between the 2 runners (a head) at the finish. Consequently, the Board was satisfied that but for the above incident, PASIR PINJI would have finished ahead of BLACK THORN, therefore it upheld the objection and amended the Judge’s result to read:

No. 1 – LEOPARD ECLIPSE (App A Nazir)

No. 2 – TRUMPY (L De Souza)

No. 3 – PASIR PINJI (App T Ammar)

No. 4 – BLACK THORN (SU Lim)

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of BLACK THORN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding BLACK THORN, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to PASIR PINJI in the straight.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) Malaysian race day which will be served on 23 March 2024. He was also fined RM2,000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal.

Jockey S Ruzaini (TANGESH) appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding the vigour and consistency of his riding in the straight. In this regard, he explained to the Panel that TANGESH had raced greenly in the running, was hanging out and failed to negotiate the final turn. He further explained that upon entering the straight he had tried to hold this gelding together as it showed a tendency to shift out and it was in his opinion that this may have affected the visual vigour and consistency of this riding. The Panel noted the explanation of Jockey S Ruzaini, however, cautioned him regarding the above issues and advised him that a similar occurrence may lead to more severe sanctions.

Jockey KC Tham (VILLAGE TYCOON) was reminded of his obligations regarding covering unnecessary ground in races. He was further advised that he is required to at least attempt to acquire the best strategic position and such attempt must be evident from the video footage of the race. Jockey KC Tham was issued with a caution and advised that should there be a similar occurrence in future, a more severe sanction may follow.

STRAP MARKS

(F Yusoff)

Momentarily inconvenienced at the 1000M. Vet inspection: Laceration on both hind legs – Vet exam.

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by App H Haikal, the rider of the fourth placed horse, NOVA FACTOR, against the winner, NO REGRETS (App SN Shiva) on the grounds of interference and intimidation from the 100M.  

After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered the marginal extent of the movement of NO REGRETS, the distance between NOVA FACTOR and NO REGRETS at the finish and that NO REGRETS had run on from behind NOVA FACTOR.

Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that for the above incident, NOVA FACTOR would have finished ahead of NO REGRETS, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.

Additionally, the Panel of Stewards was of the opinion that the objection was frivolous and acting in terms of MRA Rule 122(3), the Objector (App H Haikal) was fined RM2000/-.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App A Azizi, the rider of VALERIE PEGASUS, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, NM Selvan, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding VALERIE PEGASUS in this race, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to WATCH OUT BOSS and NOVA FACTOR at approximately the 200M mark.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App A Azizi’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) Malaysian race day on 24 February 2024. He was also fined RM1000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal.

Jockey S Ruzaini appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his riding on LEGACY ROAR in the concluding stages. In this regard, Jockey S Ruzaini was specifically questioned on whether he had the opportunity to push through and take the run on the inside of PACIFIC EMPIRE (App R Nuqman). In this regard, he explained that at the point where he elected to shift out, his horse was not travelling well enough in order to move into the gap ahead of him and hold out the inward shifting PACIFIC EMPIRE. Accordingly, he elected to take his mount, which in his opinion, was building momentum as he attempted to get LEGACY ROAR to change legs to the outside of PACIFIC EMPIRE. However, upon shifting out for clear running, PACIFIC EMPIRE again crossed him and he was forced to shift back to his original inside run. The Board noted the explanation of Jockey S Ruzaini which was supported by the patrol film of the race.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 6 (R0106) CLASS 4 B – 1175M (Track II), SUNDAY, 28 JANUARY 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Wednesday, 31 January 2024 at the SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the riding of CAORUNN and took evidence from Jockey WW Cheah, the rider of the CAORUNN, and Trainer S Hamilton, the Trainer of the gelding.

The Stewards reviewed the films of the incident and considered the evidence tendered. Jockey WW Cheah (CAORUNN) was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) in that in Race 6 on 28 January 2024 at the Selangor Turf Club, he failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that:

  1. Between the 1175M and the 800M, he positioned his mount in such a manner that it resulted in CAORUNN having no option but to race wide without cover for the remainder of the race. This resulted in Jockey WW Cheah’s mount covering unnecessary additional ground, despite having an opportunity to obtain a position close to the rail and cover;

  2. Between the 600M and the 400M, he allowed CAORUNN to shift unnecessarily wide around the home turn and when entering the straight without any correction. Thereby resulting in CAORUNN covering unnecessary ground in the race; and

  3. In the home straight, he failed to ride CAORUNN with satisfactory vigour and determination despite his mount being in contention at the finish.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey WW Cheah’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months with effect from 5 February 2024 and to expire on 4 May 2024, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:15pm).
