STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2022

SATURDAY, 7 MAY 2022

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Course A (True Position)

Panel of Stewards:

2 Members of the Panel selected by the Committee

Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

Veterinary Surgeons:

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr James Yu.

RACE 1 (R533) CLASS 5 (B) – 1700M (A LONG COURSE)

1	MURDOCH (App Clyde Leck)	Rider warned related to his whip use in the early stages. *(See Report).
2	APOLLO ROCK (S Ruzaini)	Ridden wide in the early and middle stages, and taken wide in the straight. *(See Report).
3	GIGANTE DEL ANDRE (MM Firdaus)	Slow into stride.
7	E SUPREME (App WW Cheah)	Withdrawn at 12:41pm: Lame off hind – 1000M/vet (3 weeks embargo).
9	IRON FIST (J Low)	Obliged to race wide near the 1000M.

App Clyde Leck was questioned regarding his whip use on MURDOCH in the early stages. He advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding vigourously as it was a lazy beginner and that his whip action was flicking in stride with the horse to attempt to get it to race in a forward competitive position. Whilst accepting this in part, the Stewards reminded App Clyde Leck that he must, at all stages, use his whip in a proper manner which is not considered as excessive.

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini advised that APOLLO ROCK had raced fiercely and he had a line of three horses in advance of him. The pace had steadied quickly and the gelding had then commenced to race very fiercely and he had taken it out as a safety measure. He had then been trapped three wide until straightening where the gelding commenced to hang out badly. He also believed APOLLO ROCK to be “bad in its actions” and he had thus only ridden the horse for approximately 200M before finishing last. A post-race veterinary examination of APOLLO ROCK revealed that it returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, and thus will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test (3 weeks embargo) with a senior rider before being declared to race again.

The Stewards identified an anomaly in the continuity of the running rail following the running of this race. An inquiry into this aspect will be conducted at a later date.

SEVEN SUNDAE

(SU Lim)

Raced wide in the early stages, was inclined to lay outwards near the 300M. When crowded, was carried inwards over the final 150M. *(See Report)

When questioned, Jockey SU Lim stated that he had been instructed to ride midfield, however, he had been caught four wide and had then gone forward to a leading position. On straightening, SEVEN SUNDAE had commenced to lay outwards and he had shifted his weight in an endeavour to straighten the gelding whilst riding it out vigourously. He became off balanced and shortly thereafter, hampered in his whip action when GUILTY PLEASURES shifted in, crowding him, he had then become awkwardly positioned and unable to fully utilize his whip in the right hand. The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim that he should ride in a consistent and proper manner at all times.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R428) CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (C6 LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 9 APRIL 2022

The Stewards, on 28April 2022 (Thursday), concluded an inquiry into the fall of BIG BANK (CK Khaw) and Jockey J Shankar being dislodged from MR EXCHEQUER and App AR Raiyan being dislodged from GHOST BAY.

After taking evidence from all riders and viewing the patrol footage of the incident, the Stewards considered that BIG BANK had a tendency to lay inwards when Jockey CK Khaw attempted a run outside the heels of SUN FORCE (App M Lukman). BIG BANK then struck the heels of SUN FORCE which was maintaining its true path, and fell. MR EXCHEQUER which was following, blundered badly, dislodging Jockey J Shankar and GHOST BAY then dipped when jumping the prone BIG BANK, dislodging App AR Raiyan.

The Stewards held no individual rider accountable for the incident.

INQUIRY INTO CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING “I’M THE MAN” BEING PRESENTED TO TRIAL ON 11 APRIL 2022

The Stewards, on 26 April 2022 (Tuesday), inquired into the above matter and evidence was taken from Trainer HY Cheng. It was ascertained that I’M THE MAN was subject to a 1000M/Vet related to respiratory distress.

I’M THE MAN had been treated with Lasix on the morning of 11 April 2022 by a member of the Veterinary Department. Trainer HY Cheng was absent in Singapore at that time. The attending Veterinary had treated I’M THE MAN on the instruction of his Assistant Trainer with no reference to the trial later that day. The matter was identified prior to I’M THE MAN trialling and thus performed a “Barrier Practice” instead.

Whilst accepting this was a stable oversight, Trainer HY Cheng was fined RM1000/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for having initially entered and erroneously presented I’M THE MAN for a test when it had been treated with lasix.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATED TO AN ALLEGED INCIDENT DURING TRACKWORK ON THURSDAY, 14 APRIL 2022 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB

The Stewards, on 22 April 2022 (Friday), inquired into the circumstances surrounding the above matter. Evidence was taken from Senior Track Rider (STR) Rosli Bin Salleh and his Employer, Trainer KC Tiang.

STR Rosli Bin Salleh admitted that he had ridden HI BABY (H527) in an aggressive manner with his whip citing that the gelding had become agitated due to cavorting monkeys when he was returning from working on the Heath Track. STR Rosli Bin Salleh was fined RM250/- under the general provisions of MRA Rule 133(1)(g).

RACE 9 (R465) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (A SHORT COURSE)

1	HI BABY (KP Lim)	Restrained at the 75M when squeezed between runners.
2	READY TO SMILE (App WW Cheah)	Shifted in over the final 150M.
7	LEADING CELLIST (App Clyde Leck)	Drifted out over the concluding stages. Rider warned that he must straighten his mounts when they shift.
10	SMART MASTER (SU Lim)	Shifted ground at the 75M causing HI BABY to be crowded.
12	WILDFIRE (KC Tham)	Trainer and rider questioned. *(See Report)

When questioned regarding the performance of WILDFIRE, Trainer HY Cheng stated he had instructed the gelding be ridden in a handy position from its wide barrier although it had been in second place at its previous start, which was contrary to his previous instruction. Jockey KC Tham advised that WILDFIRE had hung outwards very shortly after the start and he tried to control the gelding into a reasonable position but it had thrown its head and was virtually uncontrollable for a considerable early part of the race. It was also inclined to lay inwards onto the heels of BANGALORE (Y Aify) near the 275M. In light of this, the Stewards directed that WILDFIRE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for its racing manners. Further, Trainer HY Cheng should consider which riders he would use on WILDFIRE in future to best control the gelding.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 9 (R435) CLASS 5 (B) – 1100M (C6 SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 9 APRIL 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2022

The Stewards, on 14 April 2022 (Thursday) concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of SIEW YUK. Evidence was taken from App M Ekdihar, the rider of SIEW YUK, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr SY Lim and Trainer MW Teh, the Trainer of SIEW YUK. Further Jockey C Goon tendered evidence related to his nine (9) rides on the gelding and that it was best suited ridden from behind.

The inquiry established that it was intended for SIEW YUK to be ridden in its customary position of mid-back. However, given that the distance of 1100M, was shorter than the gelding’s usual races, it was unable to keep pace with the field. It was also noted that SIEW YUK had slipped with its hind legs at the start, a fact which App M Ekdihar had omitted to report.

Trainer MW Teh supplied evidence of stable support for SIEW YUK. App M Ekdihar stated that he had stayed in the middle of the track in the straight rather than utilize the cutaway as he had gleaned that this was a preferred path. He had taken SIEW YUK outwards near the 250M to improve its position but COLCHESTER (App Clyde Leck) had shifted out in advance of him and he had to subsequently shift back to the inside.

After assessing the evidence, the Stewards gave App M Ekdihar the benefit of the doubt related to the genuineness of this ride. Further, he was reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(11) for failing to report to the Stewards the fact that SIEW YUK had slipped on jumping.

TUESDAY, 12 APRIL 2022 (11am)

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT CONCERNING URINE SAMPLE CODED “J-4269” WHICH WAS TAKEN ON 2 APRIL 2022 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB, WAS FOUND TO CONTAIN PSEUDOEPHEDRINE

A report of Sample No. J-4269 confirmed the presence of pseudoephedrine. Upon decoding, it was ascertained that the sample had been taken from Jockey S Ruzaini. Subsequently, Jockey S Ruzaini was stood down from races, trials & trackwork on Friday, 8 April 2022 under the provisions of MRA 136(3)(b).

An inquiry into the finding was conducted on Tuesday, 12 April 2022. Evidence was tendered that Jockey S Ruzaini had declared the use of a nasal decongestant as well as other vitamins and herbs on the Sample Card Declaration Form. Further, evidence was tendered that the nasal decongestant tablets, had been dispensed by his pharmacist.

The Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics Laboratory Testing Services Sdn. Bhd., Dr Chan Sue Hay confirmed that the findings were consistent with the declared medication.

The Stewards were satisfied that the failed sample was as a result of this medication and took no direct action related to the failed sample.

Jockey S Ruzaini submitted a “Clearing Sample”, results of which will be required before he is permitted to ride races, trials or trackwork. Further, given the evidence tendered related to him suffering a respiratory ailment, Jockey S Ruzaini will be required to produce a specific Medical Clearance before riding in races.

JOCKEY URINE SAMPLE – JOCKEY S RUZAINI

The Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics Laboratory, in a report dated 15 April 2022, stated that Urine Sample coded J-4275 which was submitted by Jockey S Ruzaini on 12 April 2022 is cleared of any prohibited substances and as such, Jockey S Ruzaini is cleared to ride in trackwork, trials & races.

FOLLOW-UP – SATURDAY, 9 APRIL 2022

RACE 5

A subsequent veterinary examination of JABBAR on 11 April 2022 revealed no significant finding. Trainer AB A bdullah advised that he considered JABBAR was unsuited by racing without cover and had been affected by being forced to cover ground. It was his intention to continue the gelding’s training program.

FOLLOW-UPS – SUNDAY, 10 APRIL 2022

RACE 3

A subsequent veterinary examination of D’GREAT LIGHT on 11 April 2022 revealed no significant finding. Trainer S Siva advised that he considered D’GREAT LIGHT had been severely restricted when racing on a cut up section of the track. Further that he would monitor the mare’s progress and advise any issues.

RACE 6

A subsequent veterinary examination of ROBBERY SON (last) on 11 April 2022 revealed no significant finding. Trainer S Siva advised that ROBBERY SON’s best performances had been on unaffected tracks and he believe that the gelding was not suited by the State of the Track. Trainer S Siva undertook not to start ROBBERY SON for 3 weeks.

RACE 10

A post-race veterinary examination and endoscopy of MORE THAN OIL revealed no significant finding. Trainer V Sivan was at a lost to explain the poor performance and undertook not to start MORE THAN OIL for 3 weeks.

He was of the opinion that it was better that he followed the field rather than attempting to make ground on the outside, given the rail being at 6M wide.

STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2022

SATURDAY, 9 APRIL 2022

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Course C (Rail @ 6M & Cutaway)

Panel of Stewards:

2 Members of the Panel selected by the Committee

Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

Veterinary Surgeons:

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr James Yu.

RACE 1 (R427) CLASS 5 (B) – 1500M (C6 LONG COURSE)

4	SING DARCI (MM Firdaus)	Raced wide in the early and middle stages. An inquiry was opened into the improved performance. *(See Report)
5	GOLDEN CRAFTSMAN (Y Aify)	Vet inspection: Broken winded – 1000M/vet & scope at rest.
9	AIR POWER (L De Souza)	Jumped inwards at the start, bumping TRINITY REVIVAL.
10	TRINITY REVIVAL (App R Nuqman)	Bumped at the start.

Trainer KF Coetzee, when questioned regarding the significant improvement of form of SING DARCI (MM Firdaus), advised that at its 2 previous starts, SING DARCI had missed the start. It was adversely affected by either being placed in the stalls early or being delayed in the stalls due to an incident. This had caused the gelding to be slow into stride and then having to race within the field which it did not relish. He was also of the opinion that today’s race was a significantly weaker Class 5 (B) and the fact that it started from the outside barrier, it had been unimpeded and able to lead easily. The Stewards noted his explanation and Trainer KF Coetzee was advised that it was expected that SING DARCI maintain a consistent form in line.

FOLLOW-UPS – SATURDAY, 2 APRIL 2022

RACE 1

A subsequent veterinary inspection of HORSE KING on Tuesday, 5 April 2022, revealed that the gelding which was unplaced, had a punctured wound of the off hind fetlock. Trainer V Sivan’s representative advised that this wound would be treated and HORSE KING would return to work shortly thereafter.

Trainer F Maynard stated that OTTAWA which finished last, may have been affected by the nature of the track as it had travelled in a 3-wide position throughout, however, it pulled up well and it was intended to continue with the gelding’s training regime.

When questioned, Trainer R Lines advised that there were no real issues with the gelding post-race, however, it is noted in the Stewards’ Report that it had been trapped wide throughout. He further advised that it was the gelding’s worst performance in some time. It was his intention to continue with its training regime.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2, SATURDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB

On Monday 28^th March 2022 a veterinary inspection of PIT BULL which trailed the field and finished last (see race report) revealed that the gelding was lame near fore and near hind, and found to have muscle atrophy over the left gluteus muscle.

In light of this significant clinical report, Trainer K C Tiang was advised not to enter PIT BULL to race for three (3) weeks.

RACE 3, SATURDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB

On Monday 28^th March 2022 a veterinary inspection of SAND BANK revealed no abnormalities.

Trainer S Dunderdale advised that SAND BANK’s best races had been on firm going and he considered that after being caught wide when attempting to attain his normal leading position, the gelding had been on going which it did not relish. It was his intention to continue with the gelding training program and seek a short distance race in a fortnight.

RACE 8, SATURDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB

On Monday 28^th March 2022 a veterinary inspection of TOPMOST, which did not show its customary pace and finished last, revealed that it was lame near fore fetlock.

Trainer H Y Cheng stated that it was his intention to have TOPMOST fully vetted and that the gelding would not start for 3 weeks.

INVESTIGATION RELATED TO SAMPLE “31520” TAKEN FROM “MARINE VANGUARD” AFTER WINNING IN RACE 10 (R351) ON SUNDAY, 20 MARCH 2022 AT SELANGOR TURF CLUB

The Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics in a report dated 25 March 2022 (V22/040) reported the presence of “flunixin, dexamethasone” in sample coded “31520”. It was ascertained to have been collected post-race from MARINE VANGUARD.

The Stewards reported in Race 10 on 20 March 2022 that MARINE VANGUARD returned with exertional heat illness and will be required to undergo a veterinary examination (1 week embargo).

The SLTC Chief Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Shri Kanth advised the Stewards at that time that he had administered medicaments to MARINE VANGUARD to ensure its welfare. These substances were administered prior to sampling and noted on the MRA Post-Race Declaration Form.

The Chief Analyst reported detection of two (flunixin, dexamethasone) substances only. The Stewards questioned the Chief Analyst, Dr Chan Sue Hay on 26 March 2022 where she was advised that MARINE VANGUARD had been administered with “flunixin and dexamethasone” by Dr Shri whilst he cooled the distress horse in the paddock post-race. All veterinary administrations were in order to save and protect MARINE VANGUARD’s welfare and all substances were administered before any samples were taken.

The Stewards are satisfied that the provisions of MRA Rule 134:

“… PROVIDED THAT no horse shall be deemed to have failed a post-race

screening test if the sole reason for such failure is as the direct result of

any treatment, given (after a race) to a horse that is in distress and/or

which requires urgent veterinary assistance, by the Veterinary Surgeon

on the authorisation of Stipendiary Stewards.”,

… ought to apply to sample “31520” and that no further action is required other than MARINE VANGUARD undergo a veterinary examination before declaration.

The Selangor Turf Club Appeal Panel heard the above appeal on 18 March 2022 (Friday).

After considering the evidence, including review of the race video and other performances of CHINESE TEA, the Appeal Panel dismissed the appeal but under the provisions of MRA Rule 168(1)(d), substituted a lesser charge to MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards and substituted the penalty to a suspension from riding in races for a period of eight (8) months and a fine of RM25,000/-. Jockey M Ganeesh’s suspension was confirmed to commence from 11 October 2021 and to expire on 10 June 2022, both dates inclusive. The deposit was ordered to be refunded.

11	UNDER OATH (R Rueven)	Bumped and became unbalanced near the 500M.

Jockey J Low (HANDSOME BOY) was questioned as to why the gelding was not ridden in a forward position. He advised that he had requested for the gelding to be loaded last, however, this request was not acceded to but the horse’s tail was held by the barrier attendant. After jumping only fairly, he had been tightened for room and thereafter had been unable to obtain the forward position that he had wished for. HANDSOME BOY had commenced to race fiercely and had dipped significantly on straightening and again just prior to the winning post, Trainer HY Cheng was advised to report any findings to the Stewards. HANDSOME BOY was subject to a further veterinary examination before being permitted to race again.

When questioned regarding the performance of DOCTOR GINGER, Jockey HS Gill stated that the gelding was fractious in the stalls and after fly-jumping, was crowded and he had been unable to take up customary leading position, and the gelding had laid outwards considerably, racing wide from the 1000M until straightening. Although he had ridden the horse forward in the straight, it had failed to respond and he considered that the gelding was only suited when able to lead.

Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer advised that MR ALFONSO had failed to perform in three (3) recent outstation races, however, that the gelding had won when being ridden prominently and that it had raced in a trialled in a prominent position on the 15^th of February 2022. He considered that MR ALFONSO did not relish travelling and was better suited by racing in KL but he had been restricted by suitability of races and distances, thus taking the horse outstation. The Stewards advised Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer that MR ALFONSO is expected to be ridden in a consistent manner in lead/handy and that consideration be given to restricting its starts to local racing.

11	ELISE (KC Wong)	Slow into stride.

Jockey CK Khaw (LEO) stated that the gelding had commenced to tire quickly and he had ridden it out in an effort to get it to respond, however, it had lost considerable ground in a short space. The Stewards were concerned that Jockey CK Khaw’s whip usage was abstract and not consistent with his normal fashion. He explained this being that he had used the whip only on a few occasions and had changed it to his left hand but it had become entangled with his reins. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards were conscious of the fact that LEO had been beaten 19 lengths and had lost considerable ground over the final 200M. The Stewards instructed that LEO be subject to a veterinary examination before being permitted to race again.

The Steward concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of BLACK THORN (J Shankar). Evidence was taken from Jockey J Shankar and Trainer SY Lim, the rider and trainer of BLACK THORN respectively.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of BLACK THORN, the Stewards found Jockey J Shankar guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that:

He failed to avail himself of a significantly ample run on the inside of NEVERTHELESS near the 500M;
That his left hand whip use is in the opinion of the Stewards, was feigned and that he did not ride BLACK THORN with any vigour with your right hand;
When shifting out for a run near the 75M, he straightened BLACK THORN to maintain his position behind AHTIMS KLIS.

The Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Shankar’s riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from 14 March 2022 and to expire on 13 July 2022, both dates inclusive, to be served cumulatively with any other current penalty.

The Stewards inquired into the manner in which MONDAY was ridden in the straight. After taking evidence from App R Nuqman, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim, the Stewards believed they could not justify a charge in terms of the Rules, however, warned App R Nuqman that his riding, particularly with regards to the veracity with which he used the whip failed to meet the standard required.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of LITTLE PONY, the Stewards found App R Nuqman guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that the Stewards considered that the use of his whip was in a feigning manner and as such, did not ensure that LITTLE PONY was fully tested.

The Stewards took into consideration App R Nuqman’s riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from 14 March 2022 and to expire on 13 May 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

TUESDAY, 1 MARCH 2022, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL 7

The Stewards, on 2 March 2022 (Wednesday), inquired into the reason for LEADING CELLIST (App A Suriya) checking severely near the 700M in the above trial. It was established that “Unnamed” (K414 – KP Lim) had begun slowly, raced erratically and had charged up on the inside of LEADING CELLIST and hung out causing LEADING CELLIST to check. The Stewards warned Jockey KP Lim that he ought to exercise greater control under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(9) and further that “Unnamed” (K414), trained by Trainer M Sukri, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

TUESDAY, 1 MARCH 2022, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL 3

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 10 (R211) CLASS 4 (B) – 1500M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 13 FEBRUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2022

Following the review of the race meeting conducted on Sunday, 13 February 2022, the Stewards, on 16 February 2022, questioned Trainer KF Coetzee and Jockey R Rueven as to the manner in which RULE THE WORLD was ridden in a rearward position.

Trainer KF Coetzee advised that he had not attended the race meeting but had advised Stewards and instructed that RULE THE WORLD be ridden to settle 4^th or 5^th..Jockey R Rueven advised that it had been his intention to ride the gelding in this position but it had been unable to follow closer than second last as the pace was “too hard”. He had pushed RULE THE WORLD from the outset and slapped it on the shoulder several times near the 1000M. Further, that due to the heavy rain and the kickback, he was unsure as to his exact position within the race field. He believed that RULE THE WORLD had responded well to his normal style of riding in the straight although again he had been timorous due to the diminished visibility, especially when crossed by READY TO SMILE (App WW Cheah) when that mare shifted out at the 300M.

Trainer KF Coetzee advised that RULE THE WORLD had under performed on an effected track in the past, but stated that he was pleasantly surprised the gelding had run on so well in the straight and considered that RULE THE WORLD may be better ridden in a manner where it is held up in its races.

The Stewards noted the explanations and reminded Trainer KF Coetzee of his obligation to advise the Stewards should he change the instruction as to the manner in which any of his horses are to be ridden.
