RACE 7 (R965) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

LUCKY MASTER (HS Gill), PALTROW (App WK Lee) and ARECIBO (J De Souza) were all slow to begin.

Passing the 200M, JUNIOR (App S Saddam) raced erratically. A post-race veterinary examination of JUNIOR which collapsed after the race, revealed that the gelding returned exhibiting signs of heat stress and as such will be required to undergo a veterinary examination (2 weeks embargo) before being declared to race again.

Jockey KC Wong was questioned into his riding of PANCA DELIMA over the final stages. He advised that he had reported that he believed that his horse was not striding out freely as in the final stages, PANCA DELIMA had lowered his head and had a problem. However, he attempted to ride PANCA DELIMA persistently at the end of the race. A post-race veterinary examination of PANCA DELIMA revealed no significant finding.

Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed PANCA DELIMA was a poor mover and this was Jockey KC Wong’s first ride on the gelding. In accepting this explanation, the Stewards reminded Jockey KC Wong of his obligations to ride all his horses to the end of the race.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of ZHUHAI, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of ZHUHAI revealed no significant finding.

Post-race veterinary examinations LUCKY MASTER and ARECIBO revealed no significant finding.

After taking evidence from App WK Lee, the rider of PALTROW, in the presence of his employing Trainer, Trainer SY Lim, and Trainer S Dunderdale, the Trainer of PALTROW, the Stewards adjourned an inquiry into the riding of the mare to a date to be fixed.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT (SU Lim) drifted outwards in the straight. The Stewards questioned Jockey SU Lim as to why he looked around on straightening. He stated that BELIEVE IT OR NOT was the type of horse that requires a challenge, and he had been left in front when RAINBOW CENTRE (S Anandan) had dropped off. In accepting his explanation, the Stewards reminded Jockey SU Lim of his obligations that he must desist from the practice of looking around in races, thus to avoiding suspicions.

Near the 250M, TAKE A BOW (Y Aify) shifted out abruptly to obtain a clear passage.

The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into the riding of GHOST SPIRIT (HS Gill) to a date to be fixed.

MAGIC RANGER (S Anandan) raced fiercely, laid outwards turning into the turn near the 850M.

When questioned regarding the performance of MEWTWO, Jockey C Goon stated that MEWTWO had been slow to begin as at its previous starts, the mare was also reluctant to race competitively in the early stages and he had pushed it from the 1000M. He was of the opinion that MEWTWO was unsuited by the tightness of the track although it had made good ground in the straight.

Trainer L Moy advised that the mare had shown an inclination of being tardy at the start. He also believed that the 1300M was now too short and would endeavour to start the mare over a longer distance in its next start.

RACE 5 (R876) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

MACHO MAN (J De Souza) proved difficult to load. Trainer PS Kumaran was advised that the Stewards placed a warning on this horse and he must improve its barrier manners, failing which action may be taken against the gelding.

SOON SEEKER (B Pinheiro) and BEIJING STAR (S Ruzaini) were slow to begin.

Approaching 1000M, MACHO MAN hung inwards significantly causing LAW BY LAW (HS Gill) to be restrained.

Near the 850M, D’GREAT EMPRESS (R Shafiq) lost ground. On inquiry, it was established that GOLDEN DRAGON (App WW Cheah) had shifted in at this stage, however, Jockey R Shafiq advised that D’GREAT EMPRESS had overreacted when losing ground. As such, App WW Cheah was warned that he must afford runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

App WW Cheah, the rider of GOLDEN DRAGON, reported his saddle slipped sideways marginally near the 300M.

A post-race veterinary examination of HAPPY BUFFALO (C Goon) revealed that the gelding 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 6 (R877) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GOOD DEAL (App WK Lee) dwelt at the start, losing ground.

After being slow to begin, LIM’S BULLET (HS Gill) was ridden vigourously to gather momentum.

DAWN OF THE WORLD (AK Lim) jumped outwards at the start, bumping heavily with KING OPERA (App N Varmah) which in turn shifted out, crowding WILLIAM KING (J Low).

Over the concluding stages, TAIL SPIN (J De Souza) drifted out and approaching the winning post, caused LUCKY MASTER (App R Nuqman) to be tightened and then steadied, bumping the hind quarters of TAIL SPIN.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of TAIL SPIN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) for shifting out and causing this incident.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, his 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 15 July 2019 and to expire on 21 July 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:32pm).

A post-race veterinary examination of DAWN OF THE WORLD revealed that the gelding 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.

TRINITY CUP

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

MYSTIC MASTER (HS Gill) and SUPER LINE (S Anandan) raced wide in the middle stages.

In the straight, HELLO BOSS (KC Wong) drifted out at the same time as MISE EN GARDE (B Pinheiro) shifted inwards. Shortly afterwards, DEADLINE DAY (App P Mogun) also shifted outwards with those horses bumping. All riders were reminded of their obligations that they are expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

App CK Khaw, the rider of DANZEB, reported that his horse did not handle the condition of the track and subsequently raced wide throughout.

App P Mogun, the rider of DEADLINE DAY, reported that his saddle slipped backwards during running and his breast-plate broke at this stage

HERO CHAMPION (AK Lim) which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

This race was run in steady rain.

ROCK EAGLE (App WK Lee) jumped with its head in the air, losing considerable ground.

GOLD POWER (App WW Cheah) was slow into stride.

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of SHOWAR, reported that his whip was knocked out of his hand by the whip of App CK Khaw, the rider of LINCOLN CITY, near the 75M.

The Stewards inquired into the riding of ROCK EAGLE. Trainer SY Lim advised that the gelding had a bad history of barrier problems and he had instructed App WK Lee to try to jump ROCK EAGLE and be midfield. App WK Lee stated that he was last to be loaded, and was not ready and has not taken hold of his breast-check. The start had taken him by surprise and he lost balance, falling back on ROCK EAGLE’s mouth. Subsequently, the gelding lost ground.

After considering this evidence, the Stewards instructed that App WK Lee perform ten (10) satisfactory Barrier Trials before being permitted to ride in races again. Trainer SY Lim was advised that ROCK EAGLE will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/vet from the starting stall tests) before being declared to race again. A post-race veterinary examination of ROCK EAGLE revealed no significant finding.

TRINITY LEGENDARY CUP

Prior to the correct weight, the Stewards viewed the patrol film and questioned the Starter relating to the start of SAHABA (App CK Khaw). The Stewards were satisfied that SAHABA had thrown its head and attempted to rear as the start was effected and the efforts of the Barrier Handler in holding SAHABA’s tail at this stage, were in line with normal practice. As such, the Stewards deemed SAHABA to be a starter. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.
