Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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 (R924)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

LINCOLN CITY (Z Zuriman) which cast its near fore plate before the start, was replated, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

When the start was effected, LINCOLN CITY which had been kicking in the stalls, kicked out, got its left hind leg up on the partition and subsequently missed the start by a considerable margin. In light of LINCOLN CITY’s continued poor barrier manners, Trainer AB Abdullah was advised that the gelding will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again. Further, should the gelding’s barrier manners continue in this way, consideration would be given to barring it from racing.

SMART WARRIOR (App A Suriya) dwelt as the start was effected and missed the start at approximately 10 lengths. SMART WARRIOR will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

NOVA DASHING (KC Wong) dwelt at the start and missed the start by a considerable margin. NOVA DASHING will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

GOLD MOSA (App CK Khaw) threw its head on jumping, losing ground.

Approaching the 1000M, FORTUNE SPIRIT (R Shafiq) which was racing fiercely, had to be restrained off the heels of LIM’S MASTER (HS Gill).

Passing the 150M, CHER (S Ruzaini) checked severely when GOLDEN SLAM (Y Aify) shifted in with Jockey S Ruzaini losing his stirrup irons.

D’GREAT SPEED (KC Wong) bounded in the air at the start, losing ground.

In the early stages, MIGHTY PHOENIX (R Rueven) raced fiercely.

HAPPY START (R Shafiq) raced wide in the early stages. When questioned regarding this, Jockey R Shafiq stated that he believed that there were horses on his inside and was fearful that the pace may slacken if he attempted to take a position within the field. The Stewards considered that Jockey R Shafiq should have exercised the option of having obtained a trail behind WASHINGTON (AK Lim) instead of travelling wide from the 800M until passing the 600M.

On straightening, SATELLITE GOLDEN (Y Aify) drifted out, carrying D’GREAT SPEED outwards which bumped with WASHINGTON.

A post-race veterinary examination of HERO CHAMPION revealed that it was lame off fore, sustained a cut to its near hind leg, and returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

An objection was lodged by Jockey J Daniel (LIMITLESS STOUT), placed third, against TURF PRINCESS (AK Lim), being declared the winner alleging interference between the 200M to the 100M. The Racing Stewards overruled the objection.

An objection was lodged by Jockey J Daniel (LIMITLESS STOUT), placed third, against BRINGER OF WAR (App CK Khaw), placed second alleging interference between the 200M to the 100M. The Racing Stewards upheld the objection and amended the placing to:

1st – TURF PRINCESS (AK Lim)

2nd – LIMITLESS STOUT (J Daniel)

3rd – BRINGER OF WAR (App CK Khaw)

4th – GOOD NEWS (SU Lim)

SATTAR (W Faizal) veered outwards at the start badly, inconveniencing TIME TO INVEST (HS Gill).

BRINGER OF WAR (App CK Khaw) shifted inwards at the start at the same time as HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya) shifted outwards resulting in D’GREAT BOSS (R Shafiq), THANK YOU BOSS (App S Uzair) and TURF PRINCESS (AK Lim) being tightened.

Approaching the 700M, SATTAR eased off the heels of CHINO DINERO (App M Lukman) which in turn caused AUSONE (KC Wong) which was racing between SATTAR and LIMITLESS STOUT, to be eased.

BRINGER OF WAR lay outwards from the 275M and carried TURF PRINCESS outwards with LIMITLESS STOUT (J Daniel) having to be restrained from that mare’s heels at about the 125M. On inquiry, App CK Khaw (BRINGER OF WAR) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App CK Khaw’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 26 October 2020 and to expire on 1 November 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

BIG G (App N Varmah) veered outwards at the start, striking the hind-quarters of ISFAHAN (J Shankar) at the same time as NASSEB (W Faizal) shifted in, crowding ISFAHAN which became unbalanced.

Running to the 800M, LIMITLESS VENTURE (R Shafiq) steadied from the heels of MUHEN (App CK Khaw) with NASSEB having to be restrained behind LIMITLESS VENTURE. A post-race veterinary examination of LIMITLESS VENTURE revealed that it had sustained a laceration of the off hind tendon and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (1 month embargo) test before being declared to race again.

D’GREAT DUCHESS raced wide from the 700M and was inclined to lay inwards in the straight.

BIG G brushed the running rail passing the 225M.

Jockey J Shankar (ISFAHAN) was questioned with regards to his whip usage. Specifically, the Stewards concern that his actions gave rise to a question of whether his whip made contact at each action. After taking evidence, the Stewards warned Jockey J Shankar that he should give no opportunity for doubt as to his true purpose in riding in any manner.

RACE 7 (R866)         MAX TWO STAKES (SW) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

BUFFALO SOLDIER (App A Zaimuddin) and SIEW YUK (App N Varmah) were slow into stride.

The Stewards questioned App K Pavinthran (GLAMOROUS), in the presence of his Acting Employing Trainer, BT Lim, with regards to his riding of GLAMOROUS. App K Pavinthran advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding in a mid-to-forward position and then from its wide barrier, he pushed GLAMOROUS from the start, however, the gelding had commenced to race strongly and he found himself leading by a considerable margin. He continued to attempt to restrain GLAMOROUS but the gelding persisted in racing fiercely. He was further inconvenienced as the saddle on GLAMOROUS had slipped forward and the breast-plate buckle had come undone.

In assessing his evidence, the Stewards advised App K Pavinthran that he should take more significant measures to attempt to ride to instructions and further, he was reprimanded for failing to report to the Stewards that his saddle had slipped under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(11).

ICHIKA BACHIKA (App L De Souza) had to check near the 100M when NEVERTHELESS (AK Lim) rolled in. On inquiry, Jockey AK Lim (NEVERTHELESS) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AK Lim’s guilty plea, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty.

A post-race veterinary examination of ONE FORCE (R Rueven) 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 Y Aify (AIDEHOUR) was questioned regarding the performance of AIDEHOUR. He stated that it was the horse’s first start over the over the 1700M, and he had intended to be in a midfield position, however, although jumping moderately, AIDEHOUR had been reluctant to proceed and was inclined to resent being surrounded by other runners. In the straight, AIDEHOUR raced extremely greenly and shifted ground, although he considered that the horse had responded well to a hard ride.

In light of AIDEHOUR’s performance, Trainer M Sukri’s representative was advised that the horse will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test to the satisfaction of the Stewards before being declared to race again.

An objection was lodged by Jockey R Rueven, the rider of BEIJING STAR, placed second, against SUPER BB (AK Lim) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 125M. After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards overruled the objection and the result stood.

RAINBOW FISH (App CK Khaw) raced wide in the middle stages.

SUPER BB drifted out when Jockey AK Lim continued to use his whip over the 200M, carrying BEIJING STAR outwards over the final strides. On inquiry, Jockey AK Lim pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he continued to ride SUPER BB aggressively with the whip and failed to straighten that gelding when it shifted over the concluding 150M.

In assessing a penalty, the Stewards considered this incident at the lower level of carelessness as it did not include any significant interference to any other runner, and imposed a suspension of one (1) day with effect from 19 October 2020 and to expire on 24 October 2020, both dates inclusive.

The Stewards, on 6 October 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey J Daniel’s riding of UPTOWN GIRL in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey J Daniel and Trainer MW Teh, the rider and trainer of UPTOWN GIRL respectively. 

Jockey J Daniel stated that he had been instructed to ride the mare in a mid-to-back position and as it was having its first race start to attempt to find an uninterrupted passage. He had to ease behind PROVE IT (J Low) near the 800M, and when UPTOWN GIRL had commenced to make ground in the straight, he had been impeded when PEARL DANCER (App N Varmah) shifted outwards in front of him and he had elected to take UPTOWN GIRL to the outside of CAUSE TO FLY (R Rueven). He was of the opinion that UPTOWN GIRL resented to the use of the whip as it was inclined to swish its tail. 

Trainer MW Teh confirmed the instructions and was of the opinion that UPTOWN GIRL’s lack in exposure after having trialled unimpressively. Further, he stated that on returning to stables, UPTOWN GIRL was ascertained to have a mild bow to its fore tendon which had been confirmed by the Veterinary Surgeon.

In accepting this evidence, the Stewards advised Trainer MW Teh that he was obliged to report any matter which may have affected the performance of his horses under the provisions of MRA Rule 35(7), also that UPTOWN GIRL will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

The Stewards, on 9 October 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey SU Lim’s riding of LIM’S PERSHING.  Evidence was taken from Jockey SU Lim and Trainer S Dunderdale, the rider and trainer of LIM’S PERSHING respectively.

After considering the evidence, Jockey SU Lim was charged under MRA Rule 44 (10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that: 

  1. He failed to ride LIM’S PERSHING with any vigour after straightening (long course) until the 375M.

  2. At approximately the 275M, he stopped riding and stood up on the gelding for approximately six (6) or seven (7) strides.

Jockey SU Lim pleaded not guilty to the charge and asked that the matter be adjourned to allow for him to call further veterinary evidence. The inquiry was adjourned to a later date.


RACE 9 (R789) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 3 OCTOBER 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2020 

The Stewards, on 9 October 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey J Low’s riding of WASHINGTON and the manner in which he had ridden the gelding out in the straight.  Evidence was taken from Jockey J Low and Trainer S Dunderdale, the rider and trainer of WASHINGTON respectively. 

Trainer S Dunderdale advised the Stewards that WASHINGTON always travelled very strongly, however when pushed, tended not to respond and improved only in a moderate fashion. He had thus instructed Jockey J Low to ride WASHINGTON in a forward position and to ensure that he saved the gelding for a late run. 

Jockey J Low agreed with the instructions and advised that WASHINGTON travelled very strongly after straightening and he had ridden quietly, holding the gelding together in hope of achieving the desired result. He had then ridden out to the post to his ability but WASHINGTON had raced only moderately compared to how it was travelling on straightening. 

In accepting this evidence, the Stewards advised Trainer S Dunderdale that he should inform the Stewards of any aspect of his horses racing which may have an effect on their performances, and opportunity given that he also trained the horse which led in the race, D’ GREAT STRIKE (App L De Souza). 

Jockey J Low was reminded of his obligations to ride in a positive and competitive manner at all times.

The Stewards, on 9 October 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the reason for ICHIKA BACHIKA losing considerable ground at the start.  Evidence was taken from Jockey J Low and Trainer S Dunderdale, the rider and trainer of ICHIKA BACHIKA respectively. 

After considering the evidence, Jockey J Low was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that ICHIKA BACHIKA was not given a chance to jump properly from the start. The Stewards were not persuaded that SOUTHERN DRAGON (S Ruzaini) from Stall 2 had crossed ICHIKA BACHIKA so as to impede the gelding in any way.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration that Jockey J Low had previously been suspended twice under MRA Rule 44(10) but considered this incident at the lower range of culpability. Jockey J Low was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) weeks with effect from 12 October 2020 and to expire on 22 November 2020, both dates inclusive.


FRIDAY, 9 OCTOBER 2020, SLTC

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R649) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 5 SEPTEMBER 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2020

The Stewards, on 10 September 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the reason for SNAGGLE PUSS presented late at the pre-race holding area causing it to be withdrawn from Race 2 on 5 September 2020.

The Stewards ascertained that although SNAGGLE PUSS was an Emergency Acceptor (EA), Trainer WC Lim was aware it had gained a start and had instructed his staff to present the gelding to race. He stated that his Syce had overslept and that his Supervisor had failed to check if SNAGGLE PUSS had departed on time.

Trainer WC Lim pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 109 for failing to ensure SNAGGLE PUSS was presented on time and was fined RM1000/-.
