In light of this, the Stewards advised that LUCK MAK MAK will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that SHA NA NA (App M Lukman) returned having cast its near hind plate.

INQUIRY INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING AN ALTERCATION BETWEEN TRAINER S EDWARDS AND TRAINER MW TEH ON 19 FEBRUARY 2020 AT SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SLTC)

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into an altercation at trackwork on 19^th February 2020.

Evidence was taken from Trainers S Edwards and MW Teh. The Stewards also considered the video recordings of certain aspects of an exchange between the parties.

After considering the issue:

Trainer S Edwards was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner he addressed Trainer MW Teh.
Trainer MW Teh was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner in which he addressed Trainer S Edwards.
Both Trainers were reminded that common SLTC facilities were available to all trainers who were obliged to share respectfully.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO TRAINER MW TEH’S MANNER TOWARDS A SYCE ON 4 MARCH 2020 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SLTC)

Following a first-hand report from an attending Steward, Trainer MW Teh was questioned initially regarding the manner in which he addressed and referred to a Syce employed by another trainer on 4 March 2020.

After considering the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Trainer MW Teh had acted in an inappropriate verbal manner towards the Syce. Mr Teh was subsequently reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct and advised that a repetition would lead to action being taken.

INQUIRY INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE PRE-RACE EXAMINATION OF TRINITY GRACE IN RACE 5 (R298) ON SATURDAY, 29 FEBRUARY 2020 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SPECIAL MEETING).

The Stewards concluded the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the pre-race veterinary examination of TRINITY GRACE in the above race.

In consultation with Dr Shri Kanth, Senior Veterinary Surgeon of SLTC, the Stewards identified from video footage that TRINITY GRACE was fractious after being placed in the stalls and exited rearward on two (2) occasions. On both occasions, TRINITY GRACE was examined by the Veterinarian at the start but from a considerable distance.

The Stewards considered that a close-up examination of the gelding may have revealed the minor injury.

As a result of the inquiry, Dr Shri undertook to formulate a Standard Operating Practice for Veterinarians attending at the start of races.

RACE 2 (R232) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

IMMORTALITY (C Goon) was slow to begin. When questioned, Jockey C Goon advised that the mare had showed no pace and he had pushed it hard from the start. He was also of the opinion that IMMORTALITY is best suited when making a late run and afforded clear space.

In the middle stages, WINTERFELL (App L De Souza) was ridden wide.

At the 600M, WINTERFELL and D’GREAT EMPRESS (R Shafiq) bumped heavily on several occasions. App L De Souza, the rider of WINTERFELL, was warned that he must afford runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

DROUGHT (App AR Aiman) was impeded for a clear run passing the 275M.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of BLACK IS POWER, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of BLACK IS POWER revealed no significant finding.

RACE 3 (R233) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

RAMZES (J Daniel) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers at the request of the rider and was passed fit to race.

LIGHTNING HERO (App K Pavinthran) and RAMZES were slow into stride.

GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) raced wide in the middle stages.

M SEVEN (App M Lukman) had to be steadied and then taken outwards to avoid the heels of the tiring GOOD VIBRATIONS between the 550M and 450M.

A post-race veterinary examination of PARISBAS (App R Nuqman) revealed that it bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 4 (R234) CLASS 4 (A) – 1700M (LONG COURSE)

After declarations, Trainer C Leck was questioned as to the reasons he removed the Blinkers from WILLIAM KING (HS Gill) after the gelding won in its last start. He advised that he had been informed by Jockey HS Gill that although winning, WILLIAM KING had raced too fiercely over the 1600M and he was concerned that the gelding would again race in this manner with Blinkers over the longer course of 1700M. After considering this, the Stewards permitted WILLIAM KING to race without Blinkers but with additional Pacifiers, and confirmed that WILLIAM KING would be ridden close to the pace.

WILLIAM KING was inclined to lay inwards passing the 200M and was then carried outwards when SORBETA (App L De Souza) shifted ground over the final 150M. Jockey HS Gill advised that after leaning inwards, WILLIAM KING had shied away from the horse on its inside.

Jockey SU Lim (MACHUNG STAR) was questioned as to the reason he had led on MACHUNG STAR by a large margin in the middle stages. He stated that he had been instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable and even by leading as the horse was a noted front runner but was inclined to over-race. He considered that he had rated MACHUNG STAR appropriately, especially given that it was having its initial start over the 1700M distance.

Whilst accepting this evidence in part, the Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey SU Lim had ridden an ill-judged race when leading by this margin as the horse unaccustomed to this distance and believed that he should have ridden MACHUNG STAR more diligently in the middle sections of the race.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING

Shortly after the start, ME NO MARSH MELLOW (J Daniel) shifted out, contacting THE CROWN JEWEL (KC Wong) which in turn brushed BLOOD ROYAL (App CK Khaw).

TOOBIGTOOFAIL (HS Gill) raced wide in the middle stages.

Jockey R Rueven was questioned regarding his riding of SUNTZU in the straight. He said that SUNTZU was a one-paced horse and he had urged it at several stages before straightening and although making some ground in the straight, he had tried to balance SUNTZU as it was inclined to tire over the 1300M. The Stewards noted Jockey R Rueven’s explanation.

A post-race veterinary examination of ELITE SILENCER (App A Zaimuddin) revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

This race was run in light rain.

After jumping awkwardly, BIG DALLAS (App R Nuqman) struck the hind-quarters of ASTRA (R Rueven) and became unbalanced, losing ground.

Jockey KC Wong, when questioned, advised that he had ridden SACRED GALAXY patiently and he had found himself rearward after steadying inside MAT SMART (J Daniel) near the 1100M. He had taken SACRED GALAXY wide after straightening as he considered the gelding resented the kickback. Further, his riding of SACRED GALAXY was consistent with his style on staying horses. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that SACRED GALAXY returned having cast its near fore plate.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of GUILTY PLEASURES, reported that after leading easily, the horse was not striding out freely in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of GUILTY PLEASURES revealed no significant finding.

SHOQEET was inclined to lay inwards in the straight causing him to stop and straighten on several occasions. Jockey O Chavez (SHOQEET) reported that his horse had shifted ground in the run to the first corner and in his opinion, was striding short. A post-race veterinary examination of SHOQEET 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.

The Stewards advised to moderate the use of the whip to App M Lukman (SUPERSTARDOM) and App M Akmazani (SACRED SURFER) and referred them for further specific training.

Jockey J De Souza (NOVA FALCON) reported that his horse did not handle the conditions of the track.

RACE 8 (R238) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

As the start was effected, CREATE ABUNDANCE (KC Wong) reared and bounded in the air when the gates opened, thereby losing considerable ground.

When racing fiercely near the 1200M, AMI ELEVEN (App WW Cheah) steadied behind EXCALIBUR (R Rueven) and was taken out by that horse, inconveniencing STREET OF LONDON (KC Wong). Shortly after this, EXCALIBUR continued to shift in, causing STREET CHAMP (App A Suriya) to miss stride. Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for tightening horses at this stage.

FORTUNE SPIRIT (S Salee) raced wide in the early stages.

Near the 1000M, AMI ELEVEN which continued to race fiercely, steadied inside CALM AND TRANQUIL (App CK Khaw).

ZILFIKAR (HS Gill) and AIDEHOUR (App A Zaimuddin) were slow into stride.

Approaching the 1000M, GOLDEN PEAK (J De Souza) steadied slightly when crossed by TRINITY GENERAL (App L De Souza). At the same time, D’GREAT OCEAN (J Low) steadied marginally.

Passing the 200M, GOLDEN PEAK shifted in. TAOCA WARRIOR (App P Mogun) had to switch across that gelding’s heels in order to obtain a clear passage and in doing so, veered out quickly, interfering with BAGHDAD (R Rueven). The Stewards were satisfied that TAOCA WARRIOR had over-reacted to the move of App P Mogun due to his inexperience.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that AIDEHOUR returned having cast its near hind plate.

WHY NOT (KC Wong) raced wide throughout.

When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq (LARSON) advised that he thought that horses were coming across from the outside and had steadied LARSON. The gelding had thrown its head at this stage and he felt that it may have struck itself and subsequently lost considerable ground. In the straight, LARSON was blocked for a run over the final 50M

GENERAL MARSHALL (R Rueven) and INTROIT (J Low) were slow to begin.

Running to the 800M, TILSWORTH JACOBI (App M Akmazani) shifted in causing SUPER HERO (KC Wong) and D’GREAT EFFORT (R Shafiq) to be restrained. TILSWORTH JACOBI then checked itself inside ORIENTAL SPIRIT (App AR Aiman) and when losing ground, further inconvenienced D’GREAT EFFORT. On inquiry, it was established that TILSWORTH JACOBI had taken charge of App M Akmazani and pulled its way forward to the inside causing this chain of incidents. In considering that, TILSWORTH JACOBI had been a subject of a similar inquiry (Race 11 on 8/9/2019), the Stewards informed Trainer F Maynard that he must engage a senior rider for TILSWORTH JACOBI in future.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that LADRONE (O Chavez) returned with a cut to its near hind leg.

Near the 750M, ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in and caused KUTTNER (App L De Souza) to check. MEWTWO (HS Gill) which was following, had to be restrained. An inquiry into this incident was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

When blocked for a clear run near the 200M behind HYDRANT (App CK Khaw), PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was taken outwards, brushing TRINITY FLYING causing it to be steadied. PERFECT RUN continued to shift out, brushing KUTTNER. On inquiry, the Stewards reprimanded App WW Cheah for shifting out at this stage.

RACE 1 (R181) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

SUPER EIGHT (App L De Souza) was slow into stride.

Near the 800M, SATELLITE GOLDEN (HS Gill) threw its head up when racing fiercely.

At the 250M, DANE’S ANATOMY (R Rueven) had to be steadied outwards when AIR POWER (App CK Khaw) drifted slightly.

EAGLE SOAR (J De Souza) had to be taken out across the heels of BELIEVE IT OR NOT (SU Lim) to obtain clear running near the 100M.

When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq stated that EMPEROR WARRIOR was sitting back at the start and was slow to begin. Subsequently, he had been further back than anticipated but had tried to improve as he believed the pace to be only moderate. EMPEROR WARRIOR had then commenced to race fiercely, but on straightening the gelding had compounded badly.

Trainer WC Lim advised that EMPEROR WARRIOR was a nervous horse and its racing performance may have been affected by its barrier manners. He stated that EMPEROR WARRIOR had raced consistently for some time and it was now his intention to send the gelding for a spell.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of ELEGENT, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of ELEGENT revealed that the gelding returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

WILL BE BETTER (App M Lukman) raced wide throughout.

BUKIT SUBANG (R Shafiq) was inclined to lay inwards and near the 275M, steadied behind DAYFLIRT (S Salee) and had to be taken outwards across the heels of WILL BE BETTER when that gelding shifted in.

Jockeys R Shafiq and HS Gill, the rider of BUKIT SUBANG and NOVA EAGLE respectively, reported that their horses were not striding out freely. Post-race veterinary examinations of BUKIT SUBANG and NOVA EAGLE revealed that the geldings returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Acting on veterinary advice that CLASSIC KING (R Rueven) was lame off hind, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 1:30pm. CLASSIC KING will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

HAPPY GHOST (App A Zaimuddin) which was standing very awkwardly, missed the start and was ridden rearward. The Stewards addressed this issue with the Club Starter.

D’GREAT SONG (R Shafiq) travelled wide in the middle stages. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT SONG revealed no significant finding.

Passing the 250M, SILVER POWER (App M Lukman) was inclined to drift out over the final 100M, carrying JUST DUIT (App CK Khaw) outwards. App M Lukman was reprimanded for failing to straighten his mount.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HK Cheng, the rider of READY TO RULE, pleaded guilty to a charge of improper riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(b)(ii) in that:

He applied undue pressure to SCORPION KING (SU Lim) near the 850M and continued to pressurize that gelding, bumping with it heavily near the 800M.
Passing the 650M, when on the inside of SCORPION KING, he crossed in quickly when insufficiently clear causing that gelding to check severely and blundered.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HK Cheng’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of eight (8) Malaysian race days with effect from 17 February 2020 and to expire on 15 March 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:30pm).

TOM YAM (C Goon) threw its head and refused to gallop in the early stages. Trainer SY Lim was advised that in light with the mare’s continued manners, TOM YAM will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

App M Lukman, the rider of FLASH, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises.

RACE 5 (R185) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

Acting on veterinary advice that SATELLITE PRINCE (App M Lukman) was lame near hind, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 2:29pm. SATELLITE PRINCE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

D’GREAT OPULENT (R Shafiq) was slow into stride.

On inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of METAGROSS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that running to the 850M, he shifted in, crowding LUCKY JUSTICE (J De Souza) which bumped with BEAUTIFUL ONE (J Low).

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 two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 17 February 2020 and to expire on 23 February 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:25pm).

TRINITY HONOR (App A Zaimuddin) drifted out in the straight.

METAGROSS was inclined to shift inwards over the concluding stages.

The Stewards questioned App A Suriya (UNSHADOWED GENERAL), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer C Leck, related to the riding of UNSHADOWED GENERAL in the straight. He stated that after riding to instructions from the rearward position, he had ridden vigourously with the whip in the early part of the straight and UNSHADOWED GENERAL commenced to make ground quickly, however, he had progressed very quickly behind FLASH ONE (R Rueven) when on the outside of BEAUTIFUL ONE (J Low). At this stage, he had to steady UNSHADOWED GENERAL near the 75M as he believed he had insufficient room to go to the inside of that gelding without causing interference to BEAUTIFUL ONE.

After considering this evidence and the fact that UNSHADOWED GENERAL was making ground quickly, the Stewards considered that App A Suriya had not erred in steadying at this stage.

SATELLITE GENIUS (HS Gill) raced fiercely with its head in the air. Jockey HS Gill advised that he wished to secure cover but SATELLITE GENIUS had been unable to do so as the gelding raced too fiercely, also SATELLITE GENIUS was inclined to hang out from the 800M until straightening.

FIRST LIGHT was inclined to lay inwards when struck with the whip over the concluding stages.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2020

SUNDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2020

STATE OF TRACK: Good

(Rail at 4M Long Course)

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

Veterinary Surgeons:

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

RACE 1 (R165) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

As there was no other suitable rider available, specific permission was granted by the Racing Stewards for Jockey HK Cheng to be the replacement rider of MONTE CARLO as Jockey R Rueven was stood down by the Club Doctor.

MONTE CARLO (HK Cheng) was slow to begin. Jockey HK Cheng advised that after being slow, he was unable to secure a midfield position and had been stuck behind tiring horses until straightening.

The saddle on GOOD LUCKY (App L De Souza) shifted back shortly the after start, placing App L De Souza at some difficulty and he subsequently rode the gelding wide in the middle stages.

Shortly after the start, when struck with the whip, SONG KID (App CK Khaw) shifted in and crowded D’GREAT ELEGANCE (J Low) which was inclined to race fiercely and shifted in causing ENDURANCE (Z Zuriman) to be restrained. D’GREAT ELEGANCE continued to race fiercely until the 1000M. App CK Khaw was reprimanded and advised that a repetition of such riding would lead to suspension.

PERFECT GIRL (C Goon) threw its head at the start, losing ground and raced fiercely in the early stages.

GOOD LUCKY raced wide in the middle stages.

Over the final stages, LUCKY VICTORY (HS Gill) rolled out, brushing PERFECT GIRL.

A post-race veterinary examination of PERFECT GIRL revealed that the mare bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

A post-race veterinary examination of ENDURANCE revealed that the mare returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

HORSE(S) WEIGHT DEVIATION OF 15KGS OR MORE
Race	Horse	Up (+) / Down (-) (in kgs)
1	ENDURANCE	+31
Note: The above horse(s) was/were checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was/were passed fit to start.

RACE 2 (R166) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

E SUPREME (SU Lim) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the request of the rider prior to the race and was passed fit to race.

Although jumping well, WINNING TANGO (C Goon) shifted outwards from its outside barrier and then was ridden wide throughout. Jockey C Goon was advised that he must straighten his mount more quickly.

BIG CENTURY (App L De Souza) was slow to begin and had to be ridden vigourously to obtain a position in the field.

When struck with the whip near the 250M, HAPPY GHOST (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in and had to be restrained off the heels of WAR LORD (J Daniel). App A Zaimuddin was reminded of his obligations to exercise caution when using his whip.

When questioned, Jockey SU Lim stated the E SUPREME had begun quickly and although he had pressed the gelding early, it had shown no early speed and the horse gave him the impression that it was not fit. Trainer MP Thwaites advised that today’s distance was too short for E SUPREME, however, he was disappointed that the horse had not effectively been competitive at any stage. In light of the poor performance, Trainer MP Thwaites was advised that E SUPREME will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race.

RACE 3 (R167) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

ELITE ROCKET (App R Nuqman) veered outwards, bumping NEW SENSATION (J Low) at the start.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Daniel, the rider of SNAGGLE PUSS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1100M, he shifted in causing TAIL SPIN (R Shafiq) to be checked and struck the hind-quarters of NEW SENSATION.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Daniel’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, his previous good 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 3 February 2020 and to expire on 9 February 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:30pm).

TAIL SPIN then shifted out and this caused DETERMINETOSTRIKE (App L De Souza) to be taken wide. DETERMINETOSTRIKE raced wide in the straight.

3	COMMODORE LINCOLN	Colic	Vet exam (1 week embargo)	Course scratching

RACE 4 (R168) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

Trainers S Dunderdale and MW Teh were each fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on SEMANTAN PRINCE (Y Sakito) and DUNE SAGA (J Daniel) respectively.

Shortly after the start, SEMANTAN PRINCE (Y Sakito), FIGHTING WARRIOR (App L De Souza) and SPIN FIRE (HS Gill) buffeted.

FIGHTING WARRIOR (App L De Souza) was ridden wide and on the pace between the 1000M and the turn into the straight. App L De Souza stated that it was his first ride on the gelding and after jumping well, FIGHTING WARRIOR had commenced to race very fiercely and although wishing to take cover, he had been unable to restrain FIGHTING WARRIOR sufficiently. The gelding had subsequently been left in a 3-wide position and striding outside the leader. Trainer S Dunderdale was advised to ensure that he retains a strong rider on FIGHTING WARRIOR in future.

RACE 5 (R169) CLASS 3 – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

BIG DALLAS (HS Gill) was slow into stride and raced with its head in the air for the first few strides.

In the early stages, LIM’S EVOLUTION raced wide outside the pace.

LIM’S PERSHING steadied from the heels of SATELLITE BOY (R Shafiq) near the 1050M. Shortly after this, LIM’S PERSHING laid in, crowding BAHAR (Y Sakito) which shifted in and carried LISBOA STAR (App L De Souza) inwards and this caused GOD HELPS ME (App CK Khaw) which was racing fiercely, to be restrained. On inquiry, Jockey J Low was reminded to afford all runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

Jockey C Goon, the rider of LIM’S EVOLUTION, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S EVOLUTION revealed no significant finding.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider of LIM’S PERSHING, pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(i) in that passing the 250M, he shifted in, crowding GUILTY PLEASURES (SU Lim) which in turn shifted in causing LIM’S EVOLUTION (C Goon) to be tightened and checked severely, nearly falling. In this incident, PREMIUM STARS (J Daniel) and SATELLITE BOY (R Shafiq) buffeted. BAHAR (Y Sakito) which was following, was then blocked for a clear run.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, his poor previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 10 February 2020 and to expire on 9 March 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:30pm).

Trainer S Dunderdale was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 109(1) for failing to present GOD OF WAR (Z Zuriman) at the pre-race holding area within the prescribed time.

HENG KINGDOM (R Shafiq) raced fiercely, threw its head in the air passing the 1400M.

RACE 7 (R171) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

LIM’S MYSTERY (App R Nuqman) veered outwards at the start onto LIM’S BATTLE (App A Zaimuddin) with LIM’S MYSTERY losing ground.

In the early stages, LIM’S BATTLE which was pulling hard, raced wide.

LADY LIBERTY (Z Zuriman) which was beaten 29 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that ORION (HK Cheng) returned with a cut on the near fore leg. The gelding will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Veterinary Surgeons:

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

RACE 1 (R126) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHINESE NEW YEAR STAKES

Prior to the race, Mr Nagarajan a/l Supromaniam, the Stable Supervisor for Trainer PS Kumaran, when questioned as to the reason for the removal of cross-nose band for CONCORDE (R Rueven) given that on the 1 December 2019, during an inquiry into the tactics adopted on CONCORDE, it had been stated that the gelding had to race in a cross-nose band as it raced fiercely. Mr Nagarajan gave assurance the removal of cross-nose band would not affect Jockey R Rueven’s ability to control CONCORDE.

After being slow to begin, CONCORDE raced fiercely approaching the 900M, throwing its head. When questioned, Jockey R Rueven advised that he had been instructed not to ride aggressively at the start in an endeavour to allow it to settle. CONCORDE had been standing awkwardly and had missed the start.

ELF’S DREAM (J De Souza) had to be ridden hard in the early stages when reluctant to settle.

At the 650M, CONCORDE was inclined to lay in, bumping GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) which became unbalanced.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 3 (R107) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

Jockey J De Souza (FIRST SUCCESS) who lodged an appeal against his suspension of 2 Malaysian race days for careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii), applied to withdraw his appeal on 26 January 2020. After consideration by the Selangor Turf Club Racing Stewards, his application was acceded to and his deposit was refunded. His suspension will commence from 27 January 2020 and to expire on 2 February 2020, both dates inclusive

RACE 8 (R112) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards, on 22 January 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into App L De Souza’s riding of CATAPULT in the above race. Evidence was taken from App L De Souza, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines who is also the Trainer of CATAPULT.

Trainer R Lines stated that although CATAPULT’s best distance was 1200M, it had an inclination to be slow to begin. Further that at its previous start, the gelding had been ascertained to be suffering from respiratory distress, and he subsequently changed his feeding and training regime.

App L De Souza stated that CATAPULT had dwelt slightly but from his outside barrier, he had hoped to be slightly behind midfield. He had to push CATAPULT then hit the gelding near the 800M, thereafter taking it wide in order to progress.

Whilst accepting these explanations, the Stewards advised App L De Souza that their concern centered around his apparent change of riding style in the straight, albeit at that, he had struck CATAPULT numerous times with the whip.

App L De Souza was warned that he must ride his mounts out in a strong positive manner to leave no doubt as to his true purpose.

RACE 4 (R098) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 18 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards, on 23 January 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey R Shafiq’s riding of MARTIN VJ in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey R Shafiq and Trainer PS Kumaran, the rider and trainer of MARTIN VJ respectively, and Mr Nagarajan a/l Supromaniam, Stable Supervisor for Trainer PS Kumaran.

Trainer PS Kumaran advised that he had instructed that MARTIN VJ be ridden where it was comfortable believing it to be mid-to-back from its outside draw. Jockey R Shafiq stated that MARTIN VJ, after jumping fairly, had been in a rearward position where he had secured cover, but attempted to quicken from the 600M and although taking the turn into the straight wide, he believed that the gelding was travelling well. Shortly after this, he had pushed MARTIN VJ but near the 300M, the gelding exhaled heavily. Thereafter MARTIN VJ was inclined to shift ground and it was laboring, breathing heavier until the last 100M, where he felt something amiss with the gelding. He reported this to the Stewards and a subsequent veterinary examination revealed no significant finding.

During the course of the inquiry, Trainer PS Kumaran advised that his Supervisor, Mr Nagarajan had reported to him that MARTIN VJ had returned from the races without its tongue-tie. On inquiry into this late report, it was ascertained that Mr Nagarajan had applied the tongue-tie himself but found it to be missing when MARTIN VJ returned. He had not reported or advised anyone of this at that time.

Trainer PS Kumaran was fined RM2000/- under MRA Rule 35(7) for failing to report that MARTIN VJ had lost its tongue-tie during the race. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:04pm). Trainer PS Kumaran and Mr Nagarajan were instructed that they must ensure all equipment and gear was properly fitted to every runner. Further, MARTIN VJ will be required to pass 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

ADDENDUM

RACE 3 (R107) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards spoke to Trainer C Leck, the Trainer of BANGALORE and addressed an issue related to App A Suriya striking the filly several times in the stalls prior to the start being effected. App A Suriya was directed that he should not strike a horse with the whip prior to the gates opening in an attempt to ensure it jumps as this is potentially dangerous and in the case of BANGALORE, when striking forward of the shoulder, it caused the filly to miss the start. He was advised that a repetition would lead to a suspension.
