10

TWENTYSIXTWELVE

(App M Ekdihar)

Eased off the heels at the finish.

*When questioned as to the reason being so far back, Jockey J Shankar stated that D’GREAT VULTURE had been leaning to the right on jumping and both he and the gelding had become unbalanced, it was his intention to be running handy-to-midfield position, however, after this incident, he had been rearward. He also advised that the gelding was inclined to lay inwards when ridden forward on straightening. A subsequent veterinary examination revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

*Jockey J Daniel, when questioned, stated that HAVANA, being a fractious horse, was loaded early and due to the protracted delay, had to stand in the stall for a considerable part and had effectively switched off. He was then in a position that he had to ride the gelding from the rear rather than its preferred midfield position.

Trainer HY Cheng was questioned as to the riding instructions given to the riders of REDOUBT (SU Lim) and CAPONE (J Shankar). He stated that after trialling on two (2) occasions, he was of the opinion that REDOUBT would be best suited by attempting to lead. He further advised that although CAPONE had led and won at its two (2) previous starts, on both occasions, he had instructed that the gelding be ridden handy. Also, that both of those races were Class 5 and in his opinion, significantly inferior to this race. Whilst accepting these explanations, the Stewards reminded Trainer HY Cheng that he is obliged by the Rules to advise of any change to tactical instructions.

The Stewards, on 10 February 2022 (Thursday), inquired into Jockey J De Souza’ riding of D’GREAT EFFORT in the above race.

After considering evidence from Jockey J De Souza and Trainer S Siva, the rider and trainer of D’GREAT EFFORT respectively and reviewing the film, the Stewards found Jockey J De Souza guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

LIM’S TORPEDO (App S Sia) which was following, had to be restrained and veered out suddenly to avoid GOOD WARRIOR’s heels. REDOUBT was severely checked as a result. 

Jockey KC Tham (DARK WIZARD) was severely reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) and advised that he must ride in a safe manner at all times.

TRINITY REVIVAL

(SU Lim)

Steadied at the 175M

6

OVERSEER

(S Rosmizan)

Trainer questioned regarding apparent improvement.

The connections of BERLINETTA were questioned regarding the poor performance of the gelding. The rider advised that the gelding had no pace and was unsuited by the nature of the track. Further, he believed that BERLINETTA second-up performances had been poor in the past and showed no interest in the race although he had encouraged the gelding significantly. The Trainer’s representative stated that he could offer no reasoning but suggested that the Course B and the State of Track may have contributed to BERLINETTA’s poor performance today. A post-race veterinary examination of BERLINETTA revealed no significant finding. BERLINETTA will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance. The gelding was impounded for analytical and veterinary examination.

When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance of OVERSEER, Trainer S Hamilton stated that the mare had not relished the State of Track at its previous run and its only win had been a the Selangor’s track. She was of the opinion that the mare had a liking for the track.

LIM’S MASTER (App AR Raiyan) was slow into stride.

At the 1000M, CLOUD SHADOW (S Salee) had to steady when E SUPREME (App A Suriya) shifted in.

Near the 350M, LIM’S MASTER shied outwards away from the whip of CLOUD SHADOW.

E SUPREME was taken out near the 300M when blocked for a clear run and under hard riding, shifted wide on the track. App A Suriya was reprimanded for allowing his horse to drift to this extent.

SHOW THUNDER (App S Uzair) had to be steadied when striding onto the heels of SUNNY (App M Ekdihar) near the 200M when that gelding shifted out marginally.

RACE 4 (R089)         CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE) 

Prior to the correct weight being declared, the Stewards considered a complaint by Trainer WC Lim that his horse, SUPER BB, had been denied a fair start. After reviewing the official patrol film and considering the evidence, it was ascertained that App M Lukman (SUPER BB) had flicked SUPER BB prior to the start with the gelding simply missing the start by a small margin. In view of this, the Stewards deemed that SUPER BB was afforded a fair start and reprimanded App M Lukman for providing what amounted to a false statement.

SHOW HAND (App I Fikri) veered inwards on jumping.

MR EXCHEQUER (MM Firdaus) raced wide throughout.

In the early stages, THE STORM (J Daniel) pulled fiercely.

Near the 300M, SHOW HAND laid in, bumping SUPER BB. SHOW HAND continued to lay inwards causing THUNDERGOD (App AB Riduan) to be steadied near the 100M.

LISBOA STAR (App S Sia) shifted out marginally passing the 75M and brushed THE STORM which shifted out quickly, making contact with SHOW HAND which then veered out.

The Stewards inquired into the manner in which App I Fikri had ridden SHOW HAND over the concluding stages, in particular his use of the whip. After considering that App I Fikri had used his whip on 2 occasions whilst SHOW HAND was inclined to lay inwards and that App I Fikri was having only his 3rd race ride, the Stewards referred App I Fikri for a specific retraining and instructed he would not be permitted to use his whip for another 12 race rides.

FLASH ONE (App WW Cheah) returned with a cut to its off hind leg and will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

COUNTER ATTACK (App Clyde Leck) was slow into stride and raced wide throughout.

UNLIMITED STAR (App WW Cheah) shifted in shortly after the start causing SLEEPY JOE (J Daniel) to be steadied.

SONG RIVER (R Rueven) shifted out passing the 400M when its saddle shifted backwards and carried UNLIMITED STAR out, which had to be steadied and taken inwards to obtain clear running.

Trainer C Leck was questioned regarding the improved performance of OBSIDIAN (App K Pavinthran). He said that he was at a lost to explain the gelding’s improvement as it had been limited in its race performances. He could only suggest that the gelding was fresher in its work having not raced for a month. Further, he was restricted in his working of OBSIDIAN due to some physical and characteristics issues.

A post-race veterinary examination of SLEEPY JOE (J Daniel) which returned with respiratory noises, revealed that it was exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

THUNDER DRAGON (CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

D’GREAT LIGHT (S Salee) and TIME TO HARVEST (App R Nuqman) raced wide throughout.

EYE GUY (App S Uzair) was inclined to lay outwards from straightening, finishing wide on the track.

D’GREAT LIGHT eased outwards to avoid the heels of SHOQEET (MM Firdaus) near the 350M. When questioned regarding the performance of D’GREAT LIGHT, Jockey S Salee advised that he had been instructed to ride the mare handy, however, it had not shown any real pace and he considered that the pace of the 1700M race was particularly quick. He further advised that he had been obliged to take the mare wide in an endeavour to improve its position and it had run on only moderately in the straight. Trainer S Siva concurred with his instructions and advised that the mare had started in this race due to the inavailability of a suitable race and he believed that this was the reason she had been unable to show any early speed. 

App M Lukman (BLACK THORN) was warned to ensure that he does not make a celebratory gesture before the finish.

Jockey CK Khaw failed to advice that the saddle on THUNDER DRAGON had slipped backwards mid-race and as such was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(11). A post-race veterinary examination of THUNDER DRAGON revealed no significant finding. In light of the poor performance, THUNDER DRAGON will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

When entering the track, EMPEROR TAIZONG dislodged Jockey MM Firdaus, galloped a considerable distance, returning to the saddling stall. The Stewards ordered the withdrawal of EMPEROR TAIZONG at 4:45pm.  EMPEROR TAIZONG will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall (to be ridden unaided) test before being declared to race again.

Running to the 800M, CHOCANTE (L De Souza) shifted in and crowded THE CROWN JEWEL (J De Souza) which in turn bumped the hind-quarters of LONELY BOY (CK Khaw). Jockey L De Souza was warned that his must afford horses on his inside sufficient galloping room.

NOVA VOCAL (App M Ekdihar) raced wide from the 800M until straightening. App M Ekdihar explained that he had wished to shift in, however, had heard several appeals on his inside and had therefore stayed wide.

App A Suriya (SEMANTAN PRINCE) dropped his near side rein near the 200M. As it was a repetition of this issue, App A Suriya was referred for specific training and advised not to accept rides until such time this matter was resolved satisfactorily.

A post-race veterinary examination of HAIRY FIST revealed no significant finding.

A post-race veterinary examination of PREMIUM RUSH revealed that it returned with a cut to its off hind leg. The gelding will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

RACE 10 (R095)       CLASS 5 (A) – 1250M (SHORT COURSE)

INVISIBLE (WK Lee) was tightened between CRU BOURGEOIS (App WW Cheah) and MAJULAH (CK Khaw), losing ground.

INVISIBLE raced wide in the middle stages.

Running to the 850M, MACHUNG STAR (App M Ekdihar) checked severely. It was established that CRU BOURGEOIS had shifted in at this stage, carrying SMART RACER (App Clyde Leck) inwards which tightened FISH BALL (MM Firdaus) causing it to restrain and in turn, MACHUNG STAR had to be checked severely. On inquiry, App WW Cheah, the rider of CRU BOURGEOIS, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in at the stage.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App WW Cheah’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 24 January 2022 and to expire on 2 February 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

RACE 1 (R075)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1250M (LONG COURSE) 

Acting on veterinary advice that BUKIT SUBANG (MM Firdaus) was lame, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 12:42pm.  It was subsequently ascertained that BUKIT SUBANG had shifted its near fore plate.

After being loaded, UNION JAC (App M Ekdihar) was unruly, broke through the front gates and was restrained after approximately 30M. UNION JAC was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to start. However, the front gate of UNION JAC Stall 7 was damaged and unable to be repaired expeditiously. As such, the Panel of Stewards under the provisions of MRA Rule 12(2)(a), directed that UNION JACK be placed in the available Stall 12. Whilst conscious of the provisions of MRA Rule 113(6), the Stewards made the ruling to expedite the matter as all other horses were loaded.

AIR POWER (L De Souza) had to steady running to the 750M when crowded slightly on the inside of TOOBIGTOOFAIL (SU Lim).

Jockey C Goon (SPIN FIRE) was warned related to the use of his whip which in the opinion of the Stewards, bordered on excessive.

A post-race veterinary examination of AIR POWER revealed that it returned with exertional heat illness and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

BOOM ALMIGHTY (App WW Cheah) which was standing awkwardly in the stalls, threw its head and subsequently lost ground when the start was effected.

PLATOON (L De Souza) travelled wide throughout. When questioned, Jockey L De Souza stated that from his outside barrier, he was unable to secure a position behind the lead where he wished to be and PLATOON had pulled extremely hard in the early stages.

Near the 700M, EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) steadied momentarily when TAIL SPIN (App R Nuqman) rolled in.

App A Suriya advised that JUST DUIT was unable to go with the early pace and as a consequence, was in a rearward position. JUST DUIT will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.

 A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT LOVE (J De Souza) revealed no significant finding.

TAIL SPIN returned having cast its off hind plate.

App AB Riduan (BLACK IS POWER) was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at approximately the 400M.

RACE 3 (R077)         CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

HAVANA (MM Firdaus) which refused to enter the stalls, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:46pm. In light of the gelding’s poor history, it will be required to pass 2 Starting Stall tests before being declared to race again. Jockey MM Firdaus was reprimanded for his conduct and manner in which he handled HAVANA at the start.

MAZANZE (C Goon) was slow into stride.

Running to the 1000M, MR PAULANDRE (KP Lim) pulled hard, had to be restrained when striding onto the heels of THE ICEMAN (App A Suriya).

Near the 350M, ATTENTION (J Daniel) shifted in, causing MAZANZE which was racing erratically, to be steadied. Thereafter ATTENTION had to be steadied off the heels of SHA NA NA (App S Uzair).

TARZAN (App M Lukman) drifted out in the straight.

When questioned as to the reason he was so far back, Jockey J Daniel advised that ATTENTION had been slow to begin and had been off the bit in the early pace when it was urged to attain a midfield position. He had then elected to allow ATTENTION to settle into the race and it finished the race off well. He was of the opinion that the gelding was better suited by being ridden quietly in the early stages.

Jockey C Goon was questioned regarding his riding of MAZANZE in the straight. He advised that he was instructed to secure cover and not to be trapped wide from the wide barrier position, and also due to the long course, to allow MAZANZE to work into the race. He considered that although jumping well, MAZANZE had not shown any early pace although he had continually niggled at the gelding in an endeavour to maintain its mid-rear position. He advised that he had been impeded somewhat when ATTENTION had shifted in near the 300M and had steadied outwards to secure a run.

RACE 6 (R080)         OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

An objection was lodged by Jockey J De Souza (FLAMING PHOENIX), placed second, against UPTOWN GIRL (App S Uzair) being declared the winner, alleging interference at about the 100M. The Panel of Stewards dismissed the objection.

Running to the 1000M, THE SWAN (J Daniel) steadied from the heels of READY TO GOOD LUCK (App S Sia).

BIG DRAGON (App R Nuqman), MENTAL (App N Varmah) and GREATEST ALL TIME (KC Tham) raced wide in the middle stages.

Near the 250M, UPTOWN GIRL commenced to lay inwards causing GREATEST ALL TIME to check near the 200M and then UPTOWN GIRL crowded FLAMING PHOENIX with that filly restraining from the heels of UPTOWN GIRL near the 25M. On inquiry, App S Uzair, the rider of UPTOWN GIRL, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in at this stage.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Uzair’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 24 January 2022 and to expire on 2 February 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

ROYALTY’S WISH (App K Pavinthran) which finished last, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.

When questioned as to the reason ROTI KAYA had been ridden in a rearward position, App AB Riduan stated that the gelding did not react when the start was effected and subsequently lost ground, and then despite his urging, showed no early speed. A post-race veterinary examination of ROTI KAYA revealed that it returned with swelling over the off fore tendon. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (scan) test before being declared to race again.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 12 (R012) CLASS 4 (B) – 1250M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 1 JANUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2022

The Stewards, on 12 January 2022 (Wednesday), questioned Trainer HY Cheng and App AB Riduan relating to the performance of VAIN TYCOON in the above race.

The Stewards reported at that time that VAIN TYCOON was fractious in the stalls, kicking out and when jumping awkwardly, had struck App AB Riduan’s right leg on the outside gate, thereafter he was transported to hospital for observation.

A subsequent medical examination of App AB Riduan revealed a soft tissue injury to the outside of the right ankle with limited range of motion due to pain, and was subsequently given 5-day medical leave.

App AB Riduan stated that in the race, after striking his ankle, he had been unable to position VAIN TYCOON and thus travelled wide until straightening, and although attempting to ride the gelding out in the straight, he had done so by standing in only the left stirrup iron due to the pain in his other leg and had thus become unbalanced on several occasions.

In light of VAIN TYCOON’s barrier manner, the gelding had undergone a Barrier Practice on 11 January 2022 to the satisfactory of the Stewards. App AB Riduan was required to demonstrate his fitness and suitability to ride before being permitted to ride in a race, which he passed on Thursday, 13 January 2022.


RACE 8 (R008) CLASS 3 – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 1 JANUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2022

The Stewards, on 5 January 2022 (Wednesday), inquired into Jockey AK Lim’s riding of ROCKET PEGASUS in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey AK Lim and Trainer R Lines, the rider and trainer of ROCKET PEGASUS respectively.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of ROCKET PEGASUS, the Stewards found Jockey AK Lim 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 in the opinion of the Stewards, his riding of ROCKET PEGASUS over the final 250M, was inconsistent with his previous riding style and his left arm action, did not assist the gelding.

The Stewards took into consideration Jockey AK Lim’s riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months, to be deferred, with effect from 10 January 2022 and to expire on 9 March 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.


RACE 5 (R005) CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 1 JANUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2022 

Jockey C Goon (BELIEVER) was reprimanded for using his whip in an excessive manner.


AMENDMENT

RACE 7 (R007) OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 1 JANUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2022

WISHUPONASTAR shifted in passing the 100M causing TALENTED to check and brush with RINGS OF FIRE (Y Aify). On inquiry, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of WISHUPONASTAR, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) for shifting out at this stage.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HS Gill’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 10 January 2022 and to expire on 22 January 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

SHINE SHINE (SU Lim) was slow into stride and trailed the field. In light of the gelding’s performance, Trainer SY Lim was advised that SHINE SHINE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

DIAMOND SET (J Daniel) veered inwards sharply at the start, bumping heavily with JABBAR (AK Lim) which in turn bumped LEO (CK Khaw). As a result, JABBAR had to be ridden off the pace.
