STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2019

SATURDAY, 19 JANUARY 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R080) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

Jockey Y Aify was declared to ride VELLENEX GENERAL but was unable to do so for medical reasons. An application was made for 1kg claiming Jockey AK Lim to be substituted. The Stewards acceded to this request, noting that AK Lim is considered to be a leading rider despite still claiming a 1kg allowance.

Approaching the 1100M, SEMIFREDDO (S Mutaza) was crowded on the inside of VELLENEX GENERAL (AK Lim) which was crowded to the inside of NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) and LIM’S CHARGE (App A Zaimuddin). App A Zaimuddin, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim, was shown the vision of the incident and severely warned that he must allow sufficient space to runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 500M, SUPER JOY (App A Suriya) was forced to race wide in order to make progress and thereafter continued to lay outwards and finished wide out.

MONTE CARLO (R Rueven) laid inwards under pressure from the 200M. Jockey R Rueven reported that his horse was not striding out to his satisfaction. A post-race veterinary examination of MONTE CARLO revealed that it was lame near fore and exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

The Stewards questioned Trainer R Lines regarding the different tactics employed on ENDURANCE (App L De Souza) which led until the closing stages. Trainer R Lines explained that he had instructed App L De Souza to obtain a handy position but that no other rider attempted to take the lead and therefore App L De Souza found himself in front.  Trainer R Lines also stated that in his opinion, the easy lead had contributed to the improved performance from ENDURANCE.

RACE 2 (R081) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

ORIENTAL SPIRIT (J Mallyon) jumped outwards causing NOVA SPIRIT (S Ruzaini) which was slow to begin, to be carried outwards and to brush with WINTERFELL (App L De Souza).

NOVA SPIRIT was slow to find its stride and had to be strongly urged to obtain a midfield position.

Approaching the 1000M, TAKE A BOW (App S Uzair) shied away from ZENZERO (App A Suriya) on his outside and as a result, became awkwardly placed on the heels of WINTERFELL. As a consequence, App S Uzair was forced to check and ZENZERO lost ground.

Approaching the 400M, TAKE A BOW was disappointed for a run on the heels of WINTEFELL and was switched wide to obtain clear running. Thereafter TAKE A BOW commenced to lay outwards, in response to which App S Uzair used his whip down the shoulder in the forehand to straighten his mount. App S Uzair, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he may only use his whip in such a manner in an emergency situation and should attempt to straighten his mount using his reins.

From the 400M to the 200M, NOVA SPIRIT laid persistently outwards and caused WINTERFELL which was challenging on NOVA SPIRIT’s outside, to be taken outwards.

SABIK which was beaten 19 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

ANAK WARRIOR (J Mallyon) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1400M, ELITE KINGDOM (C Goon) laid outwards when not fully clear of ORION (HK Cheng) which was forced to ease and also brushed with BEIJING STAR (Z Khairil) to his outside. Jockey C Goon was shown the vision of the incident and warned to demonstrate greater awareness to the position of other runners under similar circumstances in future.

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of BIG PARIS, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of BIG PARIS revealed no significant finding. An inquiry into the running and handling of BIG PARIS will be held at a date to be fixed.

RACE 4 (R083) CLASS 4 (B) – 1500M (LONG COURSE B)

Jockey Y Aify was declared to ride TARZAN but was unable to do so for medical reasons. An application was made for 1kg claiming Jockey AK Lim to be substituted. The Stewards acceded to this request, noting that AK Lim is considered to be a leading rider despite still claiming a 1kg allowance.

ENCOSTA ZONE (J Mallyon) and APOLLO (App N Varmah) were both slow to begin.

From the 300M, D’GREAT EFFORT (J Low) commenced to lay inwards causing the rider to ease approaching the 200M to avoid running onto the heels of GHOST EMPEROR (App A Zaimuddin). Just inside the 100M, Jockey J Low was forced to ease when DUNE SAGA (R Rueven) shifted abruptly outwards into his path.

DYNAMIC EAGLE which was beaten 17 ¾  lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of DUNE SAGA, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of DUNE SAGA 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.

The Stewards questioned Trainer S Siva regarding the improved performance of the winner, I AM THE BOSS (HK Cheng). Trainer S Siva stated that in his opinion, the horse had improved in condition after his last start 13 days ago and benefitted from the longer distance of this race, which was 1500M as opposed to 1300M previously. He added that after reviewing I AM THE BOSS’ previous start, in which the gelding got back in the field and suffered some bumping and crowding, he instructed the jockey to ride positively to avoid such problems today. Jockey HK Cheng who rode his 151^st winner on I AM THE BOSS in this race, would not be entitled to claim any allowance as from Monday, 21 January 2019.

After the running of Race 4, Jockeys J Low and Z Khairil were called before the Stewards to explain why they apparently rode with lack of initiative and allowed their mounts to be positioned well off the speed in the middle stages.

Jockey J Low stated that in his opinion, D’GREAT EFFORT was unable to close on the leaders at this point of the race. The Stewards observed that he had not made a substantial effort to do so and he was warned to ride all his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

Jockey Z Khairil stated that SOON SEEKER is a dour stayer which would ideally be suited by further than the 1500M of today’s race and in his opinion, the horse would not have benefitted from being closer to the pace.

The Stewards noted that Jockey Z Khairil had been warned on previous occasions to take opportunities to develop his position when they present themselves. As such he too was warned to ride all his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

ORION (AM Aizat) was slow to find its stride.

Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of ORION, reported that his horse was not striding out freely to his satisfaction. When questioned by the Stewards, he further reported that ORION seemed to be moving short on his near fore from approximately the 600M. He added that ORION laid inwards approaching the 400M.

At about the 1000M, I AM THE BOSS was crowded between DETERMINETOSTRIKE on his inside and MISE EN GARDE (J Mallyon) on his outside and lost his position.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App WW Cheah, the rider of PERFECT RUN, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted outwards when not fully clear.

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 two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 7 January 2019 and to expire on 13 January 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

At about the 300M, NINETYSEVENEMPEROR laid inwards under pressure.

BURN NOTICE which was beaten 24 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 8 (R026) METRO A – 1700M (LONG COURSE B)

SUNNY (J De Souza) was slow to begin.

LUCKY JUSTICE (A Aucharuz) jumped inwards, causing GOD HELPS ME (App L De Souza) to be carried inwards and STAR INVINCIBLE (S Ruzaini) to be crowded between GOLD HELPS ME and MR PAULANDRE (J Mallyon).

Approaching the 1000M, BIG DALLAS (HS Gill) got its head up in response to the rider attempting to obtain cover between HIGH COUNCIL (App CK Khaw) and as a result, BIG DALLAS was unable to obtain cover and raced wide in the middle stages.

THE JEUNEYMAN (Y Aify) raced wide throughout and returned having cast its near fore plate. The gelding which was beaten 18 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again due to its poor performance and difficult racing manners.

Approaching the 500M, LUCKY JUSTICE laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty causing BIG DALLAS to be eased to avoid his heels.

RACE 9 (R027) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

SPIN FIRE (M Ganeesh) jumped outwards and SWIFT (S Anandan) jumped inwards causing SOON SEEKER (Z Khairil) to be crowded between them.

LIM’S KEYWAY (App J Daniel) jumped awkwardly inwards and brushed with SWIFT before being corrected.

ELITE GENERAL (HS Gill) showed a tendency to over-race in the early stages and had to be eased on more than one occasion to avoid running onto heels.

Approaching the 1000M, ELITE GENERAL laid inwards when over-racing and under restraint, causing BUKIT SUBANG (KC Wong) to be briefly crowded between ELITE GENERAL and FULL BET.

SWIFT which was beaten 18 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

App J Daniel, the rider of LIM’S KEYWAY, reported that his horse raced greenly.

App CK Khaw, the rider of D’GREAT SONG, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of the early stages of the race and was warned by the Stewards that he must show greater awareness to other horses and riders when crossing in front in the early stages.

When questioned regarding the performance of FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya), Trainer C Leck stated that due to the outside barrier today, he had instructed App A Suriya to ride conservatively in the early part of the race as the gelding has a history of breathing problems and he did not wish him to come under unnecessary pressure in the early stages. He added that in his opinion, FRENCH VINTAGE’s response in the straight was just fair. A post-race veterinary examination of FRENCH VINTAGE revealed the gelding returned broken-winded and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

The Stewards noted Trainer C Leck’s explanation and reminded him of his obligation under MRA Rule 35(8) which pertains to the Trainers’ responsibilities to notify the Stewards if he instructs a Jockey to ride any horse under his training in a manner different to its most recent start or starts.

RACE 10 (R028) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

TEH TARIK (M Ganeesh) was slow to begin.

At about the 1100M, LIM’S SENSATION (App J Daniel) laid inwards causing GHOST EMPEROR (AM Aizat) to be crowded on his inside and then when corrected, laid outwards and bumped with GUILTLESS (App CK Khaw) approaching the 1000M.

Approaching the 1000M, GUILTLESS, which was bumped by LIM’S SENSATION, shifted outwards causing NEVERSAYNEVER (A Aucharuz) which was following, to be slightly checked to avoid his heels .

TEH TARIK laid outwards approaching the 500M and when corrected, produced a disappointing response to pressure. A post-race veterinary examination of TEH TARIK which was eased in the concluding stages, 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.

At about the 400M, BIG SUPER (HS Gill) commenced to weaken and lose ground, and shifted inwards in response to the whip causing GUILTLESS to be crowded on the inside of BIG SUPER and to become awkwardly placed on the heels of GHOST EMPEROR. The Stewards showed the vision of the incident to Jockey HS Gill and warned him that he must take corrective measures immediately as soon as his mount shows a tendency to shift away from the whip. However, on this occasion, the Stewards recognized that BIG SUPER shifted in abruptly, having not previously demonstrated any greenness or wayward manners. Jockey HS Gill reported after the race that BIG SUPER was not striding out freely.

RACE 11 (R029) CLASS 5 (A) – 1700M (LONG COURSE B)

STREET CHAMP (App A Suriya) stood still as the gates opened despite being urged. STREET CHAMP will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again to demonstrate that it is capable to jumping on terms.

At the jump, VALERIUS (J Low) was crowded between RED EASTERN (HS Gill) which jumped inwards and JJ STAR (App CK Khaw) which was carried outwards by LIM’S STARDOM (App J Daniel). VALERIUS lost momentum and early position as a result.

In the early stages, EASTERN TOWKAY (AM Aizat) showed a tendency to over-race before being allowed to take the lead approaching the 1000M.

Approaching the 600M, LIM’S STARDOM laid inwards momentarily causing NOVA SPIRIT (S Ruzaini), which was following on LIM’S STARDOM’s inside, to be checked. After reviewing the vision of this incident, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of NOVA SPIRIT, reported that the interference suffered by LIM’S STARDOM approaching the 600M had caused the gelding to forfeit momentum at a crucial stage and as such his performance had more merit than the bare result.

SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 4), upgraded to “Good” before Race 5 (Races 5 to 11), downgraded to “Yielding” before Race 12 (Races 12 to 13).

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R1548) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SURVIVAL STAKES

VALBERRY (Z Khairil) jumped awkwardly outwards and bumped with FULL MEANING (J Low) which was carried inwards by POLO GAGA (App AK Lim). As a result, VALBERRY became unbalanced and got back in the field

NOVA GENERAL (App WW Cheah) jumped inwards and bumped with GOOD VIBRATIONS (J De Souza).

CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

MUSANG KING (M Ganeesh) had to race wide in order to make progress in the middle stages.

VALBERRY which lost ground at the start, was forced to race wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 400M, NOVA GENERAL laid outwards, negotiated the bend with difficulty and continued to lay outwards in the straight.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark

RACE 2 (R1549) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SURVIVAL STAKES

CASPER (R Rueven) was slow to begin.

BULL AND BEAR (M Ganeesh) was slow to find its stride and showed no pace in the early stages despite being urged.

NOVA ACE (J Low) had to be urged in the early and middle stages to stay in touch with the field before making some late progress.

When questioned, Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of JET ACE, stated that his instructions were to take 4^th or 5^th placing in the early stages, but that after a good jump, he was unable to safely cross in front of TEEN ANGEL (App L De Souza). He therefore restrained JET ACE in order to take a position behind TEEN ANGEL but in doing so, found himself in midfield as other horses crossed in front of him. Jockey A Aucharuz added that he asked JET ACE for an effort from the 600M but the response was just fair. Jockey A Aucharuz also informed the Stewards that JET ACE was not striding out to his satisfaction in the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination of JET ACE revealed no significant finding.

RACE 3 (R1550) OPEN MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

FRASER (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

NADESIKO JAPAN (S Ruzaini) was very slow to begin. The mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again in order to demonstrate that she is capable of jumping on terms.

At about the 200M, SLING SHOT (M Ganeesh) shied away from TAUROS (I Saifudin) which was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and in doing so, SLING SHOT caused D’GREAT ELEGANCE (J De Souza) to be slightly shifted outwards.

When questioned, Jockey J Low, the rider of PACIFIC PEARL reported to the Stewards that his instructions were to ride a very patient race as the mare had finished strongly in her previous race last week but Trainer F Maynard felt that she had peaked in her run at the 50M.  Trainer F Maynard confirmed with his instructions, adding that PACIFIC PEARL had performed significantly better in trials when ridden patiently. Jockey J Low stated that he was satisfied with his position well-back in the field in the early and middle stages, which was in accordance with his instructions. He obtained clear running at about the 200M whereupon PACIFIC PEARL commenced to rally and was finishing strongly when tightened for room in the closing stages as TAUROS shifted inwards. A post-race veterinary examination of PACIFIC PEARL 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.

Approaching the 200M, ZOLVED (M Ganeesh) commenced to shift inwards under pressure causing D’GREAT MAGIC (App KC Wong) to be tightened between ZOLVED and NORMAN (J Mallyon) which shifted outwards.

RACE 5 (R1552) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (SHORT COURSE A)

The State of Track was upgraded to “Good” prior to the running of this race.

ARLO (S Ruzaini) reared as the barrier opened and was slow to begin.

SNOW DANCER (J Low) was slow to begin and showed no pace in the early and middle stages. When questioned, Jockey J Low stated that SNOW DANCER had raced with little enthusiasm and although he had commenced to rally from the 400M, his effort proved short-lived. A post-race veterinary examination of SNOW DANCER revealed no significant finding.

RED SAPPHIRE (App WW Cheah) laid outwards approaching the 400M and negotiated the bend with difficulty.

Approaching the 400M, D’GREAT SUPREME (App KC Wong) was shifted to the inside of SOON SEEKER (I Saifudin) to obtain clear running, but on straightening, the gap between SOON SEEKER and ELEGENT (S Mutaza) to his inside narrowed causing D’GREAT SUPREME to be disappointed for a run.

HAPPY BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) and MR CONNERY (J De Souza) brushed on a couple of occasions approaching the 200M.

HERO CHAMPION (R Rueven) laid outwards under pressure in the last 200M.

ARLO which was beaten 26 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 6 (R1553) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

JUBILATION (S Ruzaini) and WINGED FOOT (App KC Wong) were both slow to begin.

WINNING TANGO (S Mutaza) had a tendency to lay outwards in the early stages and again in the concluding stages.

Approaching the 400M, SCRAT (M Ganeesh) shifted inwards under pressure causing MERCHANT MARINE (App A Suriya) to be crowded and to brush with the rail. Jockey M Ganeesh was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must endeavour to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 400M, ARECIBO (J De Souza) laid inwards under pressure causing SEGAR THE BEST (C Goon) on his inside to shy inwards and to be disappointed for a run on the heels of SCRAT.

SCRAT was eased in the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination of SCRAT revealed no significant finding.

JUBILATION raced in rear throughout. The gelding which was beaten 12 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 7 (R1554) CLASS 3 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Prior to the running of this race, Trainer S Dunderdale advised the Stewards that FIRST DANCE (J De Souza) which was drawn outside, would be ridden back in the field due to the bad barrier. He informed the Stewards post-race that in his opinion, the change in tactics had not benefitted the performance of FIRST DANCE.

On jumping, METIER STAR (App WW Cheah) was buffeted between NOVA FALCON (S Ruzaini) which jumped outwards and FIRST DANCE (J De Souza) which was carried inwards on jumping by THE DODGER (J Low).

THE DODGER which laid inwards on jumping, had to be eased and corrected. THE DODGER subsequently compounded from the 100M. lame A post-race veterinary examination of THE DODGER 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.

At about the 1300M, HAPPY DAYZ (App A Suriya) commenced to over-race and had to be restrained and shifted outwards to avoid the heels of THE JEUNEYMAN (Y Aify).

Approaching the 800M, METIER STAR had to be eased to avoid the heels of NOVA FALCON.

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of NOVA FALCON, was questioned by the Stewards on why he had chosen to place NOVA FALCON back in the field when the gelding is normally a forward runner. Jockey S Ruzaini explained that as NOVA FALCON was drawn in Barrier 9, and as such his instructions were to obtain cover to avoid being caught wide. To this end, he attempted to restrain his mount to take a position behind CONFLIGHT (S Anandan) on his inside but NOVA FALCON commenced to over-race and as a consequence, he was trapped wide with no cover. Jockey S Ruzaini added that this placed his mount at a considerable disadvantage, in a strong field today.

AUSONE (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1000M, VICTORY CAT (J Low) commenced to over-race in response to being crossed by PREMIUM RUSH (A Aucharuz) and drifted outwards when not fully clear of OPTIMUS (AM Aizat) which was forced to check.

PREMIUM RUSH (A Aucharuz) over-raced in the early stages.

Between the 400M and the 200M, VICTORY CAT (J Low) raced erratically, and shifted both inwards and outwards causing STREET OF LONDON (Z Khairil) to his outside and SILK ROUTE (App AK Lim) to his inside to be inconvenienced. Jockey J Low stated that at this stage, VICTORY CAT was tiring causing him to wander.

Approaching the 100M, OPTIMUS laid inwards under pressure causing VICTORY CAT which was following, to be shifted outside to avoid the heels of OPTIMUS and STREET OF LONDON which was following VICTORY CAT, to be taken wide in turn.

RACE 9 (R1556) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

The Stewards observed that in the first few strides, App WW Cheah, the rider of IDEAL GUIDE, seemed to become unbalanced. App WW Cheah explained that his saddle had slipped and admitted that he had not reported such at scales. He was warned that under similar circumstances in future, he must make reports of anything which may have affected the performance of his horse at the earliest possible opportunity.

At about the 1000M, PUTMONEY TAKEMONEY (App KC Wong) laid outwards causing ABEBE (M Ganeesh) to be taken outwards.

At about the 300M, ABEBE laid inwards causing PUTMONEY TAKEMONEY to be briefly crowded between ABEBE and IDEAL GUIDE.

App KC Wong, the rider of PUTMONEY TAKEMONEY, reported that the saddle on his horse slipped backwards during running.

ORIENTAL SPIRIT which was beaten 23 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 10 (R1557) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

RUM N RAISINS (J Low) shifted its off hind plate and was replated at the saddling yard. RUM N RAISINS was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

TRIPLE ONE STAR (App WW Cheah) jumped inwards causing MAREA NEGRO (S Anandan) and SILVER WIND (R Rueven) to be crowded between TRIPLE ONE STAR and ELITE GOLD (C Goon), which jumped outwards.

GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) stood still as the barriers opened and forfeited ground. GOOD DEAL, which showed no pace in the early stages, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again to demonstrate that he is capable of jumping on terms.

Between the 500M and the 250M, GASSUR (O Chavez) was persistently denied a run against the inside rail on the heels of NOVA WARRIOR (S Ruzaini).

Between the 400M and the 200M, OUT OF NOWHERE (A Aucharuz) was denied a run, initially on the heels of TRIPLE ONE STAR and subsequently on the heels of NOVA WARRIOR.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of GASSUR, stated that he was happy to track the inside run of NOVA WARRIOR from the 500M. Approaching the 300M, NOVA WARRIOR laid outwards and drifted off the rail which would have afforded him the opportunity to progress but the rider of OUT OF NOWHERE (A Aucharuz) went for the same gap causing him to be further held up in his run.

At about the 400M, RUM N RAISINS (J Low) laid inwards causing BIG LIGHTNING (App A Zaimuddin) which was attempting a run between RUM N RAISINS and SILVER WIND to be checked and shifted outside for clear running. After reviewing the incident, the Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey J Low had taken corrective measures at the earliest opportunity, and furthermore that RUM N RAISINS had shifted inwards in response to having his quarters brushed by BIG LIGHTNING. It was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

Jockey S Anandan, the rider of MAREA NEGRO, reported that he dropped his reins briefly at about the 350M but in his opinion, it did not affect the performance of MAREA NEGRO.

RACE 11 (R1558) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 6pm due to a thunderstorm.

GET GOING (Z Khairil) broke free from the barrier and ran loose. As the load was in progress, it was paused and some horses were removed from the barriers at the request of the riders. The load was recommenced after GET GOING had been apprehended.  The gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 6:03pm and will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

HIGH TENSILE (S Mutaza) was not able to be boxed and was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 6:09pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of DAHEES, reported that his saddle slipped forward at the 800M due to which, he was unable to restrain DAHEES and to ride in accordance to his instructions which were to sit well back in the field. As the pace of the race was slowing at this point, he allowed DAHEES to stride forward and made his challenge earlier than instructed. Approaching the 100M, DAHEES laid outwards and was briefly eased.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 9 DECEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good              

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1526)       CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

GOLD COAST CAPTAIN (Y Aify) was slow to find its stride.

Shortly after the start, WINNING STAR (M Ganeesh) shifted inwards causing BEIJING STAR (S Ruzaini) to be taken inwards and brush with GOLD COAST CAPTAIN which was inconvenienced. GOLD COAST CAPTAIN also bumped with SUCCESSION (S Anandan) which laid outwards on jumping. Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of WINNING STAR, was shown the vision of this incident and warned to show greater awareness to horses to his inside under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 300M, WINNING STAR laid outwards under pressure causing EASTERN TOWKAY (App L De Souza) to be taken outwards into the path of SUCCESSION which was eased to avoid contact with EASTERN TOWKAY’s heels.

At about 200M, MEWTWO (HS Gill) laid slightly inwards under pressure causing SUCCESSION to be tightened between MEWTWO and FEISTY LEO (AM Aizat) and eased to avoid the heels of FEISTY LEO.

Approaching the 100M, BEIJING STAR laid outwards under pressure causing EASTERN TOWKAY, FEISTY LEO, SUCCESSION and BEIJING STAR to be taken slightly outwards in the concluding stages. 

LIM’S ACTION which was beaten 22 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

When questioned, Jockey S Anandan, the rider of SUCCESSION, reported that his instructions had been to settle SUCCESSION in midfield as close as possible and to gradually improve his position. However, SUCCESSION was outpaced in the early stages and then unlucky in the straight, having suffered multiple incidents of interference but for which, in Jockey Anandan’s opinion, SUCCESSION would have finished in second place at least. A post-race veterinary examination of SUCCESSION revealed no significant finding.

At about the 1100M, MACHUNG STAR laid inwards and brushed with SUPERWISE (S Mutaza) which became excitable as a result and commenced to over-race. EMPIRE BAY (Y Aify) was taken wide when brushed by SUPERWISE as it over-raced.  Jockey S Mutaza, the rider of SUPERWISE, reported that his horse raced greenly.

ANAK WARRIOR (S Anandan) over-raced and laid outwards in the early stages.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of HAPPY BUFFALO, reported that he was forced to restrain his mount at about the 1000M to avoid running onto heels.

Thereafter at about the 200M, HAPPY BUFFALO was eased and shifted sharply outwards to avoid the heels of MACHUNG STAR which raced greenly.

Approaching the 400M, BRILLIANT STAR was disappointed for a run on the heels of SING ENERGY and forced inwards to obtain a clear passage.

From 100M, FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) laid outwards under pressure causing the rider to put his whip down and correct at about the 50M.

GOOD BROTHER which was beaten 21 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Between the 600M and the 500M, BAADSHAH (A Aucharuz) was disappointed for a run on the heels of PACIFIC PEARL (Y Aify).

Approaching the 400M, PACIFIC PEARL was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and in doing so, caused BAADSHAH, which was following, to be shifted outwards and to be crowded between PACIFIC PEARL and TIC TAC TOE.

At about the 400M, BAADSHAH again brushed with TIC TAC TOE causing TIC TAC TOE to be pushed slightly outwards.

At about the 100M, PACIFIC PEARL laid inwards under pressure and crossed TILSWORTH JOSHI (J Low) when not fully clear, causing the rider of TILSWORTH JOSHI to ease for 2 strides.

On jumping, STAR STRIKE (O Chavez) was crowded between FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) and MR PAULANDRE (Z Khairil).

Approaching the 500M, SACRED GALAXY (J Low) commenced to make progress and was then disappointed for a run on the heels of MR PAULANDRE which slowed and had to be abruptly checked.

At about the 400M, MR WOLFF (Y Aify) was angled inwards for a run between MR ARMSTRONG (App KC Wong) and MR SCORSESE (S Ruzaini) but at this point, MR ARMSTRONG shifted slightly inwards causing MR WOLFF to be taken towards MR SCORSESE which was briefly crowded.

When questioned, Jockey HK Cheng , the rider of WINDCHASER, reported that after the jump, he obtained a handy to midfield position as per his instructions but thereafter no opportunity presented itself to shift inside and obtain cover, and he was caught wide in the middle stages. He added that WINDCHASER responded no more than fairly in the straight.

Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of MR PAULANDRE, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(c)(i) for hitting his horse forward of the shoulder.

 RACE 6 (R1531)       STAYER STAKES A (SW) – 2000M (SHORT COURSE A)

Shortly after the jump, D’GREAT TIMING (App KC Wong) was crowded between TIGER BAY (S Ruzaini) and RISING GLORY (HS Gill), and lost its early position as a result.

Between the 1800M and the 1600M, D’GREAT TIMING was shifted to the outside to make rapid progress around all his rivals and to take the lead. D’GREAT TIMING commenced to weaken and lose ground at about the 800M and compounded in the straight. When questioned, App KC Wong, the rider of D’GREAT TIMING, stated that the gelding was slow to begin but commenced to over-race when shifted to the outside to recover his position at the 1800M. Having reached the lead at about the 1500M, D’GREAT TIMING settled better in front before eventually finishing weakly. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT TIMING revealed no significant finding. The gelding which was beaten 27 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At about 700M, SUNNY (J De Souza) laid in slightly causing SEA WORLD (App WW Cheah) to ease for 2 or 3 strides. MULBLUE SHARK (App P Mogun) was forced to race wide to make progress approaching the 600M and thereafter remained wide.

Approaching the 200M, TIGER BAY laid outwards and brushed with TARZAN (Y Aify).

App A Suriya, the rider of ORDER OF THE SUN, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(12) for making a celebratory gesture with his whip prior to the winning post. 

When questioned, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of RISING GLORY, stated that his instructions were to remain to the inside and not to forfeit ground by racing wide. When RISING GLORY showed no pace immediately after the jump, he elected to switch inside to take a position in the rear of the field and to ride for luck. However, the pace slowed at halfway, causing the field to compact and no opportunity to make progress presented itself at any time in the middle stages. Jockey HS Gill further informed the Stewards that he had been denied a run on the heels of SEA WORLD between the 600M and the 400M and thereafter was forced to switch outwards to obtain clear running, and to ease his horse carefully into the gap between SUNNY and TIGER BAY approaching the 200M, by which time the winner had got away from him. He added that in his opinion, the winner was superior and he would have finished second irrespective of luck in the run.

RACE 7 (R1532)       CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 4:20pm due to a thunderstorm.  

Trainer M Sukri was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on NINETYSEVENEMPEROR (S Anandan).

SCRAT (M Ganeesh) stood still as the barrier opened and forfeited ground. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported that SCRAT moved her body in the gate but was not inclined to jump forward despite being urged. He added that in the concluding stages, SCRAT displayed a tendency to lay inwards under a right-handed whip drive, forcing him to ease and correct on 2 or 3 occasions in the concluding stages to avoid the heels of NOVA WARRIOR (S Ruzaini).

BIG BANK (App KC Wong) which was drawn outside, raced wide throughout.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of TOP TURF, reported that his horse raced green, could not handle the going and was difficult to steer. He added that his goggles had become clogged with mud around the bend and therefore he inadvertently allowed TOP TURF to run wide approaching the 400M as his vision was impaired.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of POWERFUL FIGHTER, reported that his horse could not handle the going. A post-race veterinary examination of POWERFUL FIGHTER 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.

This race was rescheduled to start at 4:55pm.

TEH TARIK (M Ganeesh) was slow to begin.

BELLA VELOCE (J Mallyon) was slow to begin and then when urged, ran onto the heels of WE’RE THE WORLD (S Mutaza) and had to be checked and shifted inwards.

Approaching the 900M, NOVA RANGER (S Ruzaini) slipped, causing CHIPS (J Low) to ease to avoid its heels.

Jockey S Sandana, the rider of PALTROW, reported that his horse slipped approaching the 900M, and had to be corrected to avoid the heels of TEH TARIK.

At about the 900M, SUPERSTARDOM (O Chavez) laid inwards causing WE’RE THE WORLD to ease briefly to avoid its heels.

Approaching the 400M, TEH TARIK laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty causing RACER KING (S Anandan) which was on his outside, to be taken wider.

Inside the last 200M, WHITE CHIN (R Rueven) laid inwards and brushed with FUNKADELIC (S Salee). Jockey R Rueven asked the Stewards to view the vision of this incident before the correct weight was declared in order to consider an objection against FUNKADELIC. However, having reviewed the incident, he decided not to lodge an objection.

RACE 9 (R1534)       METRO A – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:35pm.

Prior to the running of this race, a delegation of Senior Jockeys voiced their concerns about the safety of the track particularly between the 1000M and the 800M. The Stipendiary Stewards reported these concerns to the Racing Stewards who declared that the situation would be reviewed after the running of this race.

GARIZA (O Chavez) jumped awkwardly outwards and immediately afterwards, commenced to buck repeatedly, and forfeited significant lengths. A post-race veterinary examination of GARIZA 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.

At about the 1000M, BROWCOW (HK Cheng) was observed to slow the pace, causing HIP HIP HOORAY (A Aucharuz), which was following, to be checked. THE JEUNEYMAN (Y Aify) which was following HIP HIP HOORAY, was also slightly crowded in this incident. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed.

Directly after the running of this race, an inspection of the track between the 1000M and the 800M was carried out by the Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward and the Senior Tracks Executive. They subsequently reported to the Racing Stewards that this area was deemed to be potentially dangerous. Having received this information, the Racing Stewards abandoned the remainder of the races due to safety grounds.

SUNDAY, 9 DECEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2018

SUPER HARD, a course scratching as it had a sore back, will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

RACE 5 (R1520) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 8 DECEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2018

 The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of AUSSIE EAGLE (AM Aizat) in the above race, and took evidence from Jockey AM Aizat and Trainer WC Lim, the rider and trainer of AUSSIE EAGLE respectively.

Trainer WC LIM explained that he gave AUSSIE EAGLE only an outsider’s chance due to the wide barrier and had instructed Jockey AM Aizat to obtain a midfield position with cover and not to race wide around the bend.

Jockey AM Aizat stated that AUSSIE EAGLE was fractious in the barrier due to the long hold and the misbehavior of other horses causing it to become nervous. He explained that the gelding jumped awkwardly outwards, at which point he had taken a tight grip on the reins to correct his mount. He then restrained AUSSIE EAGLE at about the 1100M again for fear that he would run onto the heels of ROGER (Z Khairil).

Thereafter he attempted to obtain cover on AUSSIE EAGLE but found it difficult due to GOOD PEOPLE (J Low) wandering in front of him. Finally, when asked for his effort, the gelding responded just fairly

The Stewards warned Jockey AM Aizat that in future he must ride in a manner that leaves no room for query, that he must always do his best to assure a good jump from all his mounts, and should always demonstrate a genuine intent to comply with his riding instructions.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2018

SATURDAY, 8 DECEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding       

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1516)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

JETSTAR EAGLE (Y Aify) was slow to begin.

MAGIC RANGER (S Anandan) laid outwards on jumping, got its head up and continued to race keenly in the early stages.

MESSI (Z Khairil) was forced to race wide in order to make progress in the early stages.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark
1	I’M A GENIUS	Corneal ulcer to the right eye	Vet exam		Course scratching
1	BLACK DIAMOND	Capacity field	–		EA
Note: The above horse(s) will be required to pass the above test(s) before being declared to race again.

RACE 2 (R1517)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

FRANCES (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

D’GREAT WALL (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 1100M, ZHAN SHEN (HK Cheng) shied away from RED EASTERN (HS Gill) on its outside and crowded COLONEL LINCOLN (S Salee) which was tightened against the rail and lost its position as a consequence. When questioned, Jockey S Salee stated that COLONEL LINCOLN became unbalanced in this incident causing him to be positioned further back in the field than was his original intention. A post-race veterinary examination of COLONEL LINCOLN revealed 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.

At about the 600M, SUPER BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was briefly crowded as NOVA ACE (J Low) laid inwards. Thereafter SUPER BUFFALO carried its head awkwardly, and was disappointed for a run on the heels of COLONEL LINCOLN (S Salee) approaching the 200M.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SATELLITE GENIUS, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) in that he failed to ride out his mount to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that he stopped pushing SATELLITE GENIUS in the last 2 strides and was subsequently beaten a head for 4^th place. In determining the particulars of the charge, the Stewards noted that it was unclear whether SATELLITE GENIUS could have possibly finished in 4^th place but stressed to Jockey Z Khairil that they found his riding to be unsatisfactory in the circumstances. He was fined RM 2000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal.

 RACE 3 (R1518)       CLASS 4 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Jockey Y Aify was fined RM500/-  under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight. The Stewards granted permission for Jockey L Sofhan to replace Jockey Y Aify as the rider of LIM’S STARDOM.

Jockey A Aucharuz was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing seek permission from the Stewards within the prescribed time, to ride overweight on OVERSEER.

OVERSEER (A Aucharuz) was slow to begin.

WINTERFELL (App WW Cheah) was slow to find its stride.

LAUGHING BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was heavily eased in the early stages by its rider, who reported to the Stewards that the gelding was bucking and that he had pulled him out of the race due to concern for the gelding’s welfare. He then allowed LAUGHING BUFFALO to follow the field at a safe distance.  A post-race veterinary examination of LAUGHING BUFFALO 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.

At about the 500M, OVERSEER had to be shifted outwards to avoid the heels of D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) and thereafter laid outwards around the bend and raced wide in the straight.

Approaching the 200M, D’GREAT EFFORT laid inwards under pressure.

Approaching the 100M, MOGAN’S PRIDE (AM Aizat) was disappointed for a run on the heels of PENDRAGON PRINCESS (S Salee) which compounded.

LIM’S STARDOM which was beaten 28 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Jockey A Aucharuz was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing seek permission from the Stewards within the prescribed time, to ride overweight on AMONGST THE STARS.

VERGLATICA (App A Suriya) was slow to find its stride and thereafter raced keenly approaching the 1600M, and to avoid running onto the heels of POLO MASTER (L Sofhan).

Approaching the 400M, NOVA LEGEND (S Sandana) laid inwards and continued to do so until the finish.

At about the 400M, ZENZERO (S Ruzaini) was shifted outwards to obtain a clear run on the outside of SOON YOU THINK (HS Gill) but commenced to lay outwards and brushed with JJ STAR (App KC Wong). Thereafter ZENZERO became unbalanced and again laid outwards, and bumped with JJ STAR which laid inwards approaching the 300M.

JJ STAR continued to shift inwards and at about the 200M, REAL MEAN (App L De Souza) was disappointed for a run on the heels of JJ STAR and VERGLATICA which shifted significantly outwards. App A Suriya, the rider of VERGLATICA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer C Leck, was shown the vision of the incident and was warned to show greater awareness and to take more care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

RACE 5 (R1520)       CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

AUSSIE EAGLE (AM Aizat) jumped awkwardly outwards and was restrained, and was thereafter positioned well-back in the field. An inquiry into the running and handling of AUSSIE EAGLE will be held at a date to be fixed.

LADY LIBERTY (S Mutaza) was slow to begin and laid outwards in the straight.

SHARON’S STAR (A Aucharuz) had to be eased on jumping to avoid the heels of AUSSIE EAGLE which jumped awkwardly outwards.

LOVE GOES AROUND (S Ruzaini) over-raced in the middle stages.

GOOD PEOPLE (J Low) laid outwards from the 200M.

The Stewards observed that App WW Cheah, the rider of ELF’S DREAM, dropped his whip at about the 100M. He was warned that a repetition of such in future will lead to a penalty being imposed, and that even after dropping his whip, he must continue to ride with vigour to the finish. A post-race veterinary examination of ELF’S DREAM 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.

RACE 6 (R1521)       CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GAZOO (Y Aify) stood still as the barrier opened and forfeited several lengths. When questioned, Jockey Y Aify stated that he was aware that GAZOO had an adverse history of similar behavior. GAZOO was loaded last but due to the misbehavior to other horses in the barrier, the start was then delayed by approximately one further minute. Jockey Y Aify reported that in his opinion, this delay caused GAZOO to be less alert and therefore begin slowly and as such he was unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to ride a forward race. A post-race veterinary examination of GAZOO 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.

WINGED FOOT (HK Cheng) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1000M, GENERAL MARSHALL (C Goon) shied away from SNAGGLE PUSS (A Aucharuz) which shifted inwards. Thereafter GENERAL MARSHALL (C Goon) commenced to over-race in the early and middle stages.

GOLDEN TYCOON had to be eased repeatedly in the early stages to avoid the heels of rivals, and was denied a clear run in the last 50M. Jockey S Sandana, the rider of GOLDEN TYCOON, reported that his horse raced greenly.

SNAGGLE PUSS which was beaten 18 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance. A post-race veterinary examination of SNAGGLE PUSS revealed no significant finding.

RACE 7 (R1522)       CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

PLATOON (AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

When questioned, Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of PLATOON, stated that the gelding was unable to go with the fast pace in the early stages and therefore he was unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to ride a forward race.

Trainer R Lines confirmed these instructions but added that he had left it to the rider’s discretion to change plans if the gelding was unable to follow the early pace which he expected to be considerable. He added that PLATOON was coming to the end of a long preparation and may have been feeling the effects of such. Trainer R Lines informed the Stewards that he will advise the owner to allow PLATOON to have a short break and to be freshened up. A post-race veterinary examination of PLATOON 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.

Acting on veterinary advice that THAI BAHT (M Ganeesh) and SANDY’S PRIDE (aPP WW Cheah) both had sustained a cut to their right hind legs, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the horses at 5:17pm and 5:16pm respectively. THAI BAHT and SANDY’S PRIDE will each be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 100M, GOLDEN EMPIRE (R Rueven) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and in doing so, laid outwards causing VICTORY MARCH (App KC Wong) to shy outwards in response.

FLYING SHADOW (S Ruzaini) which was unruly in the barrier and kicking out, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

SGFIFTY (S Anandan) jumped outwards causing CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App L De Souza), which was slow to begin, to be crowded just after the jump.

D’GREAT ELEGANCE (J De Souza) laid inwards after jumping causing FLYING SHADOW to be eased in response.

At about the 500M, SPARKLER (App AM Aizat) had to be eased to avoid the heels of GOOD LUCKY (App WW Cheah).

CHAMPAGNE ROSE laid outwards in the closing stages, and brushed with FLYING SHADOW.

MUSANG KING (M Ganeesh) which had been ridden back in the field in recent starts, was urged into the lead today. The Stewards recognized that MUSANG KING had, in the past, made the running in the races. However they noted that this was not his pattern of his most recent starts and they therefore advised Trainer SY Lim of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to notify the Stewards of a charge of riding tactics.

Jockeys Y Aify and M Ganeesh, the riders of EVIL TRAIN and MUSANG KING respectively, reported that the saddles on their horses slipped backwards during running.

RACE 4 (R1479) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 27 November 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of CATCH ME GREAT in the above race.

Trainer WC Lim stated that he expected a good showing from the gelding, although it would probably be suited by further than the 1200M of this race. He added that CATCH ME GREAT has had issues with a suspensory ligament which may have affected his performance. However, a post-race veterinary examination ordered by the Stewards did not reveal any significant finding. Jockey SU Lim stated that CATCH ME GREAT struggled with the fast early pace and he was therefore unable to obtain a midfield position as per the gelding’s normal racing pattern. He explained that he had been instructed to sit where his mount was comfortable if such circumstances occurred.

After the evidence was heard, Jockey SU Lim was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) in that he failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

1. Having found himself in a position at the rear of the field, he made insufficient effort to improve his position in the middle stages.
2. He did not make a serious attempt to make progress between the 600M and the 400M, when there was space directly in front of him.

In determining the penalty the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s mitigating factors, submissions on penalty, and the fact that he had never previously been suspended under this Rule. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with immediate effect from 27 November 2018 and to expire on 26 January 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3pm).

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1476) CLASS 5 (B) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

SILENT DREAMS gained a run as an Emergency Acceptor. Due to a lack of suitable riders at the allotted weight, the Stewards granted permission for Jockey A Aucharuz to accept the ride and to put up 2kg overweight.

FLIGHT OFTHE SAKER (App L De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

NOVA SPIRIT (Z Khairil) was slow to begin.

At the 1500M, VERGLATICA (S Ruzaini) was checked to avoid the heels of PERCIUS (App W Faizal) which shifted inwards. At the conclusion of an inquiry, App W Faizal, the rider of PERCIUS, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at the 1500M, he shifted inwards when not clear of VERGLATICA which was checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App W Faizal’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 November 2018 and to expire on 9 December 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:12pm).

At about the 300M, SOKOR GEDEBE (S Anandan) was shifted to the inside of FLEDGELING (SU Lim) to obtain clear running.

App KC Wong, the rider of ELEGANT DANCER, reported that his saddle slipped backwards during running.

RACE 2 (R1477) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

ZENZERO (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin and had to be urged in the early stages. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that ZENZERO showed no pace in the early stages and had responded just fairly to pressure in the straight. He felt that the race today was stronger than the race which ZENZERO won last time out.

VALERIUS (J Low) was observed to be racing keenly in the early and middle stages.

Approaching the 300M, BIG PARIS (S Mutaza) was crowded when WINNING STAR (M Ganeesh), which compounded, shifted inwards.

Just inside the 200M, LIGHTNING ZERO (SU Lim) was shifted out to the outside of ELEGENT (App KC Wong) to obtain clear running.

Jockey S Mutaza, the rider of BIG PARIS, was shown the vision of the concluding stages, during which time he appeared to stop riding for 3 strides very close to the line and eventually finished in 5^th placing, beaten ¾ length for 4^th place. Although the Stewards were of the opinion that BIG PARIS would not have finished 4^th irrespective of Jockey S Mutaza’s actions, he was severely warned about his responsibilities under MRA Rule 44(6) to ride all his horses out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

RACE 3 (R1478) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon) reared as the gates opened and was slowly away. The mare which was beaten 25 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

SOUTHERN HUSSLER (O Chavez) over-raced in the early stages. A post-race veterinary examination of SOUTHERN HUSSLER 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.

Approaching the 1000M, LUCKY VICTORY (J Low) was shifted outwards by Jockey J Low to afford space for GOLD MOSA (App L De Souza) on his inside and in doing so, became awkwardly placed on the heels of SOUTHERN HUSSLER and had to be eased for a few strides. Jockey A Aucharuz, who was riding SOON SEEKER which was positioned on the outside of LUCKY VICTORY, reported that due to this incident he was trapped wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 400M, HAPPY BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was disappointed for a run on the heels of LUCKY VICTORY and was then switched outwards but was disappointed for a run on the heels of SOUTHERN HUSSLER. Thereafter, HAPPY BUFFALO was shifted wide out in order to obtain clear running.

PREMIUM RUSH (App W Faizal) was slow to begin and got its head up in the early stages.

Between the 400M and the 300M, PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was crowded by GERMANIC (App A Zaimuddin) which laid inwards.

GERMANIC which was beaten 19 ¼ lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of FEISTY LEO, App KC Wong stated that the gelding had never been able to travel comfortably in the race which was run at fast pace. Trainer R Lines added that FEISTY LEO is ideally suited by a longer distance than the 1200M of today’s race at this advanced stage of his career.

An inquiry into the running and handling of CATCH ME GREAT (SU Lim) will be held at a date to be fixed.

DONT MIND IFIDO (App AM Aizat) which had sustained laceration on its right shoulder prior to being saddled, was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the start and was passed fit to start.

LOVE GOES AROUND (S Ruzaini) threw its head upwards and to the right on jumping and became entangled in the right side barrier gate. After reviewing the start, the Stewards observed that LOVE GOES AROUND had been given the opportunity for a fair start and it was deemed to be a runner. Thereafter, LOVE GOES AROUND got away slowly and reluctantly, and was well detached from the remainder of the field. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet from the Starting Stall test before being declared to race again for having difficult barrier manners.

On jumping, SKYDANCE ECLIPSE (App KC Wong) was crowded between LAW BY LAW (App A Zaimuddin) and PANCA DELIMA (O Chavez).

App H Syafiq and Jockey S Sandana, the riders of MONSTER ENERGY and SATELLITE GOLDEN respectively, reported that their horses were not striding out freely.

RACE 6 (R1481) CLASS 4(A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

At the time fixed for final acceptances, Jockey Z Khairil was nominated on both RA FORCE and GET GOING. The Stewards contacted S Edwards, the Trainer of GET GOING, who explained that he had made a mistake and had intended to nominate Jockey J Mallyon. The Stewards warned Trainer S Edwards of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 104.

NOVA RANGER (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly and had to be shifted to obtain a midfield position.

GOOD DEAL (S Mutaza) was slow to begin.

GET GOING (J Mallyon) over-raced in the early stages.

When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of ARC CARA reported that the gelding was fresh after a 3-month spell and had slightly over-raced in the middle stages, causing him to ease on a couple of occasions, and to leave space in front of him in order to avoid clipping heels. He added that ARC CARA laid inwards away from a right-hand drive at about the 400M, and thereafter had found himself unable to obtain a clear run at any stage. When asked why he did not attempt an outside run at about the 400M, Jockey M Ganeesh replied that he did not anticipate that there would be sufficient space between RAINBOW NATION (J Low) and ATEEJ (O Chavez). His explanation was noted.

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of NOVA RANGER, stated that he had been disappointed for a run on the heels of TRIPLE ONE STAR (App L De Souza) and SAM THE MAN (App AM Aizat) approaching the 200M and when a clear run had eventually presented itself inside the 100M, he was again forced to check to avoid the heels of TRIPLE ONE STAR which drifted outwards. App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of this incident, and warned to take greater care to maintain a straight line in the concluding stages under similar circumstances in future.

GET GOING (J Mallyon) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 100M, but subsequently continued to lay outwards under pressure causing ELITE SILENCER to be eased to avoid the heels of GET GOING close to the finish. Jockey J Mallyon was shown the vision of the incident and warned by the Stewards to take greater care to keep his mount straight under similar circumstances in future.

Trainer S Dunderdale was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to fit FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) with the declared tongue-tie.  FIRST PRECINCT therefore raced without a tongue-tie.

CONDADO (L Sofhan) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1300M, BRILLIANT DEAL (A Aucharuz) shifted inwards causing MR SCORSESE (S Ruzaini) to check to avoid its heels. Jockeys A Aucharuz and S Ruzaini were shown the vision of this incident and were both warned by the Stewards. Jockey A Aucharuz was warned for allowing his horse to shift inside when not clear. Jockey S Ruzaini was warned for allowing his horse to run on another horse’s heels when he could easily have taken corrective measures to ensure that interference did not occur. Both riders were instructed by the Stewards to display greater awareness under similar circumstances in future.

THE JEUNEYMAN (SU Lim) raced wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 200M, FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) laid outwards under pressure and subsequently had to be shifted inwards to avoid the heels of D’GREAT BLESS (HS Gill).

Prior to the start, the Stewards were notified that MR CROWE (R Rueven), which was drawn outside, would be ridden back in the field due to the wide barrier. MR CROWE was briefly disappointed for a run approaching the 500M, and again at about the 400M, where the rider was forced to ease to avoid the heels of PLATOON (HK Cheng), which compounded. MR CROWE was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 300M.

PLATOON (HK Cheng) reared as the gates opened and forfeited ground.

D’GREAT VULTURE (App KC Wong) jumped outwards and crowded PRINCE RAVEN (S Sandana).

D’GREAT VULTURE over-raced in the early stages and had to be eased to avoid the heels of MR WOLFF (App W Faizal).

EL CONDOR (J Low) took hold of the bit at about the 1000M, and had to be restrained to avoid laying wide around the bend.

When asked to explain the disappointing performance of STAR INVINCIBLE, Trainer C Leck stated that the gelding had a history of knee problems and that it was only able to undergo a light training regime since its most recent start on 21 October 2018. The Stewards instructed Trainer C Leck to report any relevant facts which subsequently come to light.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of PLATOON, Trainer R Lines stated that the gelding, which reared at the jump, and was slow to begin, may have been unsuited by being unable to dominate as per his normal racing pattern. PLATOON which was beaten 12 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
