At about the 1400M, SEA WORLD attempted to switch outwards to obtain clear running but was unable to find sufficient racing room on the inside of FORTUNIQUE (R Woodworth). There was brief contact between SEA WORLD and FORTUNIQUE, causing SEA WORLD to become unbalanced, losing 2 lengths. The Stewards established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

RACE 6 (R262) CLASS 4 – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHIPS (App AM Aizat) and CATCH ME GREAT (App AK Lim) were both slow to begin.

CHIPS was urged to recover from his slow start but soon ran onto the heels of THE MILLIONAIRE (S Anandan) and had to be shifted outwards.

Jockey TK Barnabas, the rider of HIGH TROJA, dropped his right rein approaching the 300M and although he regained it shortly afterwards, was unbalanced until just before the 200M.

At about the 200M, FRANKLY MY DEAR (Y Aify) began to compound and in doing so, shifted inwards causing ARECIBO (App L De Souza) and ASPEN (SU Lim) to be taken inwards in response.

At about the 1100M, FAST RICH (S Sandana) crossed to the rail in front of ENCOSTA ZONE when not clear, causing ENCOSTA ZONE to check and NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) which was behind ENCOSTA ZONE, to be checked in turn.

The Stewards enquired into this incident and heard evidence from Jockey S Sandana, the rider of FAST RICH, that his mount was over-racing and that he had taken evasive action in order to avoid running onto the heels of BLOOD ROYAL (App AK Lim). The Stewards established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

At about the 1600M, NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) commenced to over-race and refused to settle in rear.

Between the 300M and the 200M, KARIGARA (App L De Souza) laid inwards under pressure, forcing the jockey to ease and correct the drift. KARIGARA subsequently shifted abruptly away from the left hand whip, and shifted out between the 200M and the 100M.

App P Haris, the rider of LIM’S SPRINT, was shown the vision of the incident and advised by the Stewards that under similar circumstances in future, he should attempt to switch his whip hand.

At about the 200M, HAWAIIAN KING laid outwards under pressure causing the jockey to ease and correct.

At about the 75M, LIM’S SPRINT shifted abruptly outwards when shying away from HAWAIIAN KING. This caused LUCKY DAPPER to be taken outwards and MR WOLFF to be eased to avoid the heels of LUCKY DAPPER.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 5 (R251) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 25 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GAZOO which raced in a mid-to-back position before making some late progress. Evidence was taken from App AM Aizat, the rider of GAZOO, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, and Trainer SB Tan, the Trainer of GAZOO.

App AM Aizat explained that he had intended to take a handy position, but the wide barrier made this difficult. He added that the saddle slipped badly on STAR INVINCIBLE (App N Varmah), which was racing directly in front of him from the 900M and he could see that the rider had very little control. He therefore decided not to attempt to pass STAR INVINCIBLE as he feared that it might shift abruptly or that the rider might become unseated.

App AM Aizat stated that when STAR INVINCIBLE was eventually pulled to the outside at about the 600M, he attempted to make progress but by that stage, the race had got away from him.

Having heard his evidence, the Stewards took no further action.

RACE 10 (R256) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

At the conclusion of an inquiry on 25 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, App S Saddam, the rider of RAINBOW STAR, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer PS Kumaran, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1200M, he failed to allow sufficient space to the horses on his inside and failed to take all reasonable corrective measures to prevent his horse from drifting in.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Saddam’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App S Saddam’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 5 March 2018 and to expire on 11 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:05pm).

RACE 1 (R247) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

Jockey HS Gill (LIM’S RANGER) subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Stewards considered the application for a stay which was allowed. The appeal hearing against the penalty of the suspension of two (2) Malaysian race days will be held at a date to be fixed.

RACE 5 (R251) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

Trainer C Leck was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 35(1) for failing to ensure that the surcingle on STAR INVINCIBLE (App N Varmah) was in suitable condition. STAR INVINCIBLE was eased to the outside in an attempt to pull up at about the 800M after the saddle slipped.

Trainer C Leck was also fined RM500/- under MRA Regulation 1.13(d) as he failed to meet his obligation under MRA Regulation 1.13(d) in that having engaged an Apprentice to ride STAR INVINCIBLE, he was the person responsible for ensuring that the Apprentice’s equipment was not defective.

RACE 7 (R253) METRO A – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

Trainer F Maynard was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 105(2) for requesting for a change of rider when one was already declared on ROYAL EXPLORER. He explained that Jockey J Mallyon had been declared in error. The change was authorized by the Stewards at 11:30am on Wednesday, 21 February 2018.

RACE 10 (R256) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

HAHA BABE (L Sofhan) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 1200M, RAINBOW STAR (App S Saddam) shifted inwards causing SATELLITE LEGEND (S Ruzaini) to be eased to avoid his heels and SEMIFREDDO (Y Aify), PHILIP (APP CK Khaw), GERMAN SPEED (App P Haris) and SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be crowded. As a result of this incident, PHILIP became unbalanced and EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) had to take evasive action to avoid his heels. In doing so, EMPEROR WARRIOR shifted inwards abruptly and brushed the rail. EMPEROR WARRIOR lost his position as a result.

At about the 250M, ELEGENT (App KC Wong) compounded and rolled inwards causing SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be eased off his heels.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R209) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A) – BEST OF LUCK STAKES, SATURDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 24 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GHOST AFFAIR in the above race. Evidence was taken from App P Haris, the rider of GHOST AFFAIR, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim.

After reviewing the vision of the race and considering the evidence tendered, App P Haris pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

Between the 900M and the 600M, he made no attempt to make progress on the inside of LONESOME ME (App S Saddam) when he had the opportunity to do so, and therefore remained in a mid-to-back position when he had been instructed to ride the horse forward;
At about the 600M, he restrained GHOST AFFAIR unnecessarily and forfeited up to two lengths which resulted in GHOST AFFAIR being placed further back in the field and further behind the leaders;
Between the 400M and the 150M, having obtained a clear run on the outside, he failed to ride with his full vigour.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App P Haris’ 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) months with effect from Monday, 26 February 2018 and to expire on 25 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:10pm).

The Stewards, on 24 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into an incident at about the 150M in the above race. Evidence was taken from App S Uzair, the rider of MARIO ATTILA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, and Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of NUMERO UNO. As a result, the Stewards reprimanded App S Uzair for allowing his mount to shift out under pressure at the 150M causing NUMERO UNO to be eased. App S Uzair was also warned that he should show greater awareness under similar circumstances in future.

WISHES COME TRUE STAKES

MR EPIC (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.

BOOSTER (J De Souza) jumped inwards and despite the rider’s efforts, bumped LIM’S CHARGE (HS Gill), causing LIM’S CHARGE to be taken inwards, unbalanced and be slow into its stride.

JANGO (J Mallyon) over-raced in the early stages and shifted inwards approaching the 900M causing DRAGON WALK (App L De Souza) to be taken inwards onto FULL MEANING (Lou Ho) which in turn was shifted slightly inwards and crowded SEA HORIZON.

Between the 800M and the 600M, MR EPIC was taken to the wide outside in order to make progress.

HERECOMESMYMONEY (SU Lim) was outpaced throughout the race.

At about the 250M RISING STAR (App S Saddam) shifted in away from the whip and was thereafter switched wide out in order to obtain clear running.

RACE 3 (R220) CLASS 4 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

GREAT TREASURES STAKES

GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 900M, SHELLOMADA (HS Gill) threw its head up in response and was slightly crowded by LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (Z Khairil).

At about the 800M, GOOD DEAL was shifted abruptly outwards to avoid the heels of MAGICAL TALENT (J De Souza) which slowed.

RUN IT TWICE (S Ruzaini) commenced to lay out from the 500M and raced wide out between the 500M and the 100M. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that RUN IT TWICE had over-raced and got onto the wrong lead leg when he asked for his effort approaching the 500M. A post-race veterinary examination of RUN IT TWICE revealed no significant finding.

From the 200M, REAL MEAN (App CK Khaw) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 50M, SHELLOMADA shifted out under pressure causing BULLISH LUCK (App W Faizal) to shy away.

In the last strides, GOOD DEAL was switched out to obtain clear running when finishing strongly.

RACE 4 (R221) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

PROSPEROUS BUSINESS STAKES

Jockey M Ganeesh was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight on IT’S DONE MATE.

VERGLATICA (HS Gill) was slowly away.

At about the 550M, SPEED CRAFT (S Anandan) shifted slightly out at the point of the bend and bumped ZHAN SHEN (S Ruzaini).

Approaching the 400M, SPEED CRAFT was tightened for room in between ZHAN SHEN and ELEGENT (App KC Wong). The Stewards reprimanded Jockey S Anandan, the rider of SPEED CRAFT, as a result of this incident for attempting to push through an insufficient gap. He was warned to ride with more care and patience under similar circumstances in future. Jockey S Anandan was fined RM500/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at about the 250M.

At about the 300M, MARIO ATTILA (App S Uzair) commenced to shift out under pressure and shift further out when App S Uzair transferred his whip to his left hand causing NUMERO UNO (Z Khairil) to be taken wide at about the 150M. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident to a date to be fixed. Shortly afterwards, App S Uzair dropped his whip. App S Uzair was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip.

The Stewards questioned Trainer WC Lim regarding the apparent improved performance of POLO MASTER today. Trainer WC Lim explained that POLO MASTER (App AK Lim) had shown a tendency to be lazy and unmotivated in his trackwork, and therefore he deliberately changed the horse’s training regime, including sending him to two Barrier Practices prior to this race. He further added that POLO MASTER had performed well in the second of those Barrier Practices under a very inexperienced rider.

RACE 5 (R222) MAIDEN – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

GOLDEN FORTUNE STAKES

This race was rescheduled to start at 3pm at the request of Singapore Turf Club.

ONCE A THIEF (App W Faizal) unseated its rider shortly after the starting gate opened. After reviewing the vision of the start, the Stewards were satisfied that App W Faizal was mounted on ONCE A THIEF when the start was effected and therefore declared ONCE A THIEF a runner.

NOVA GENERAL (App KC Wong) jumped sharply inwards and bumped ORION and when corrected, shifted abruptly outwards.

Between the 1200M and the 1000M, NOVA DASHING (App P Haris) over-raced and lost its position when checked to avoid the heels of RED EMPRESS (HS Gill).

At about the 550M, SHAHPUR JAT (App S Saddam) laid outwards and was awkward negotiating the final bend.

At about the 1300M, SHARON’S STAR (M Ganeesh) rolled inwards and caused NATION THEATRE (SU Lim), GOLD POWER and MUSANG KING to be crowded briefly on his inside.

Approaching the 250M, MUSANG KING shifted out under pressure and was thereafter shifted inside to obtain a clear passage.

At about the 200M, AUSSIE EAGLE (App AK Lim) was momentarily crowded between FRASER (Y Aify) and NATION THEATRE.

KUTTNER was then switched outwards to obtain a clear run but was unable to do so before the finish.

At about the 100M, LION CONQUEROR was disappointed for a run on the heels of D’GREAT SPIRIT (HK Cheng).

GONG XI FA CAI STAKES

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:45pm.

TOTALITY (App S Saddam) reared as the stalls opened and was slow to begin.

ITS ONLY MONEY (App AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

In the early stages, VICTORY CAT (J Mallyon) over-raced and got its head up. Jockey J Mallyon reported after the race that, from the 800M, the horse showed limited response to the bit, raced ungenerously and laid out. VICTORY CAT which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At about the 900M, ITS ONLY MONEY commenced to over-race and App AM Aizat checked in order to avoid running onto the heels of TWODOLLARMUPPET (M Zairi). As he did so, the gelding shifted out abruptly, bumping TAKEAIM (App P Haris) which was unbalanced.

From the 350M, ITS ONLY MONEY laid inwards under pressure.

A post-race veterinary examination of PUSONG PINOY (Lou Ho) revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of six (6) months under MRA Rule 92(5) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R208) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GOLDEN PROSPERITY STAKES

VAGABOND (App L De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

MYSTIC WARRIOR (HS Gill) threw its head up on jumping and had to be corrected. MYSTIC WARRIOR continued to carry its head high throughout the race.

RACE 2 (R209) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

BEST OF LUCK STAKES

TAIL SPIN (J Mallyon) knuckled leaving the stalls and was slowly away as a consequence.

GOLDEN DRAGON (Lou Ho) was slow to find its stride. At about the 350M, GOLDEN DRAGON switched inwards to obtain a clear passage.

GHOST AFFAIR (App P Haris) raced in a mid-to-back position, was shifted wide to challenge in the straight and finished wide out. A post-race veterinary examination of GHOST AFFAIR revealed no significant finding. The Stewards will open an inquiry into the running and handling of GHOST AFFAIR at a date to be fixed.

RACE 3 (R210) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LUCKY STAR STAKES

FAST RICH (S Sandana) was slowly away.

ORIENTIAL SPIRIT (Lou Ho) was slow to find its stride.

CHIPS (App AM Aizat) raced without cover in the early stages and got its head up.

At about the 900M, ORIENTAL SPIRIT was taken wide in order to make progress and was thereafter trapped wide on the track. ORIENTAL SPIRIT compounded badly in the last 300M.

DROUGHT (Z Khairil) raced in rear before making late progress. When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil reported to the Stewards that DROUGHT had been outpaced when the tempo of the race increased at about the 800M and had then finished strongly, passing beaten rivals. He added that DROUGHT is better suited by a longer distance and showed a tendency to lay in under pressure. A post-race veterinary examination of DROUGHT revealed no significant finding.

From the 200M, ECLIPSE DANCER (S Ruzaini) commenced to shift out under pressure.

After taking evidence from Jockey HS Gill and reviewing the vision of the incident, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey HS Gill for failing to respect the “two-length” standard when crossing his rivals.

D’GREAT NIMBUS had a tendency to shift in under pressure causing the jockey to correct and ride with hands and heels only in the last few strides.

SKYHAWK (S Ruzaini) displayed an inclination to race with her head up. Trainer C Leck reported to the Stewards that this represented the mare’s normal racing manners and appears to be a fixed tendency

HAPPINESS & LONGEVITY STAKES

SPECIAL LUCK (SU Lim) jumped inwards causing FIREPUBLICGAME (M Ganeesh) to be taken inwards which in turn caused BULL SPUR (App P Haris) to be eased to avoid the heels of FIREPUBLICGAME and lose its position as a consequence.

KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) and ASHQAR (O Chavez) bumped on jumping. Shortly afterwards, WHAT (App W Faizal) rolled inwards despite the rider’s efforts, causing KING OPERA to be awkwardly placed on its heels. As a consequence, KING OPERA was eased and lost its early position.

At about the 300M, ROGER (Z Khairil) laid out causing HAPPY DAYZ (App KC Wong) to be eased in order to avoid his heels and then to be switched inwards to obtain clear running. ROGER thereafter continued to carry his head to the right side. The Stewards reviewed the incident and determined that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

In the last 200M, BULL SPUR laid out under pressure and finished wide.

RACE 10 (R217) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHINESE NEW YEAR STAKES

DEE MAJULAH (S Anandan) jumped outwards and bumped D’GREAT MAGIC (App KC Wong). As a consequence, DEE MAJULAH lost his position and was unable to take the lead as instructed.

When questioned, Jockey S Anandan stated that DEE MAJULAH was held in the barrier for a long time and just gave an ordinary jump. Thereafter he found himself on the heels of D’GREAT MAGIC which shifted inwards and crowded him. He was eventually able to obtain a handy position in fourth but was rather disappointed by DEE MAJULAH’s response in the straight. He added that DEE MAJULAH may have been unsuited by the rain-affected going. A post-race veterinary examination of DEE MAJULAH revealed no significant finding.

SPARKLER (App CK Khaw) was disappointed for a run between the 300M and the 200M, and was switched out to obtain clear running at about the 200M.

LIM’S RANGER (HS Gill) was switched outwards to obtain clear running at about the 200M but was unable to do so, and had to be slightly eased at about the 75M to avoid the heels of EAGLESHAM (Lou Ho).

FEISTY LEO (App CK Khaw) was outpaced between the 800M and the 400M.

At about the 450M, App P Haris, the rider of MEIZU, was observed to be looking over his left shoulder and directly afterwards, steered a wide course into the straight. MEIZU finished wide as a result. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into the running and handling of MEIZU to a date to be fixed.

LION CITY GOLD laid inwards approaching the 300M and laid in again at about the 200M.

PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat) wandered under pressure in the last 250M. Approaching the 100M, PERFECT PEARL shifted out, taking LION CITY GOLD out in response.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of TOTALITY, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 200M, he aimed his horse towards an insufficient gap between PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat) and JUBILATION (S Ruzaini) and even after the gap had widened, he failed to allow sufficient room for JUBILATION which was tightened next to the rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 29 January 2018 and to expire on 11 February 2018, both dates inclusive.

Just after the 200M, RED EASTERN shifted out abruptly, making slight contact with MONTE CARLO.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of D’GREAT NIMBUS, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to drift inwards when insufficiently clear of DIRAC, causing DIRAC to be carried inwards when not clear of VERGLATICA which was forced to ease, making contact with SUNTZU which was tightened against the rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

RACE 2 (R087) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

The State of Track was downgraded to “Yielding” after the running of this race.

JUBILATION (M Zairi) and HOLDING FAST (J De Souza) were both slow to begin.

WINNING TANGO (M Ganeesh) raced wide out until the 1000M whereupon he moved closer to the rest of the field while remaining wide and in last placing. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported that WINNING TANGO had raced with little enthusiasm today and was laying out throughout the race. He further stated reported that WINNING TANGO was unsuited by the going which was downgraded to “Yielding” after this race. The Stewards informed Jockey M Ganeesh that an inquiry into the running and handling of WINNING TANGO will held at a date to be fixed. A post-race veterinary examination of WINNING TANGO revealed no significant finding. The gelding which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

BATTLE HORSE (S Salee) laid out under pressure between the 400M to the 200M.

MOZART ECLIPSE (Y Aify) laid inwards under pressure in the last 200M.

All riders returned to scale an average of 1/2kg overweight due to the adverse weather conditions.

Jockeys SU Lim and S Anandan, the riders of D’GREAT RICH and SAND BANK respectively, reported that their horses did not handle the going. Post-race veterinary examinations of D’GREAT RICH and SAND BANK revealed no significant finding.

RACE 3 (R088) MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

MYSTICAL STAR (F Yap) was slow to begin.

LINING TOGETHER (J De Souza) which was over-racing, shifted out in the early stages and bumped MYSTICAL STAR.

SHARP BLADE (S Ruzaini) over-raced from the start to the 800M and was briefly disappointed for a run at about the 500M.

In the concluding stages, POKEMON BABY (App AK Lim) laid inwards and BULL SPUR (App P Haris) laid outwards causing these horses to bump.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of LINING TOGETHER, reported that his horse raced greenly. Jockey J De Souza was declared to carry 54kgs on LINING TOGETHER, weighed out at 54.2kgs and returned at 55.5kgs in a race where other riders generally returned 0.2kg or 03kg heavier due to the wet track conditions.

The Stewards enquired into this discrepancy. Jockey J De Souza, when questioned, reported that LINING TOGETHER had raced in rear throughout and therefore had received a significant amount of kick back, causing his clothing to be saturated.

As the record of returning weights for unplaced Jockeys in Race 3 was found to be incomplete, the Stewards could not be satisfied that no other riders in Race 3 had returned similarly overweight. They therefore noted Jockey J De Souza’s explanation and took no further action.

Jockey F Yap and App CK Khaw, the riders of MYSTICAL STAR and D’GREAT ELEGANCE respectively, reported that their horses did not handle the going.

RACE 4 (R089) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

MAREA NEGRO (S Ruzaini) fly-jumped as the stalls opened and shifted inwards, bumping JET COSMO (App S Uzair). Both horses were slowly away as a result. Jockey S Ruzaini reported that he lost the use of his left side stirrup iron briefly as a result of this incident and soon recovered it.

At about the 500M, JANGO (J Mallyon) was forced to check to avoid the heels of BOOSTER (J De Souza).

ABSOLUTE MAVERICK (App P Haris) was observed to be over-racing in the early stages and laid out between the 500M and the 400M, therefore found it difficult to negotiate the bend. At this point, MAREA NEGRO was carried wide by ABSOLUTE MAVERICK. ABSOLUTE MAVERICK continued to lay out in the straight under pressure.

JET COSMO was awkward on the home bend between the 450M to the 400M.

A post-race veterinary examination of ABSOLUTE MAVERICK revealed that the gelding returned bled, and will be barred from racing for a period of six (6) months under MRA Rule 92(5) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

App AK Lim, the rider of BEIJING STAR, reported that his horse did not handle the going.

RACE 5 (R090) METRO A – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

WILAYAH SILVER BOWL

FLASH GIFT (M Zairi) jumped outwards and LUCKY DAPPER (S Sandana) jumped inwards causing SHOWBOY (Z Khairil) to be tightened between them.

METIER STAR (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

BLACK AND WHITE (App S Saddam) was slow to begin and had to be urged to obtain a midfield position and was forced to race wide as a consequence.

At about the 500M, CAPTAIN JAZZ (S Ruzaini) shifted out, taking BIG ROLE (Y Aify) out as a consequence. SHOWBOY and METIER STAR were also observed to be unbalanced at this stage of the race.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of METIER STAR, reported that his horse did not handle the going.

After this race, a deputation of senior riders asked for permission to speak to the Stipendiary Stewards to express their concerns regarding the safety of the track and in particular the area between the 600M and the 400M.

The Jockeys present were Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SHOWBOY, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of CAPTAIN JAZZ, and Jockey Y Aify, the rider of BIG ROLE. Acting on their recommendations, in order to promote a maximum level of safety for horses and riders, the Racing Stewards used their powers under MRA Rule 12(2)(s) to transfer the remaining races set to be run on the Short Course to the Long Course, therefore avoiding the area in question.

The Veterinary Surgeon reported that the record of markings in the passport of JEFFREY (Lou Ho) was found to be incomplete. However, having received a further report from the Veterinary Surgeon that the gelding was able to be positively identified, JEFFREY was allowed to run in the race. The Stewards informed Trainer LN Danis that an inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:40pm and was run on the Long Course instead of the Short Course as advertised, due to concerns regarding the track safety between the 600M and the 400M on the short course.

NICKEL ECLIPSE (J Mallyon) and GARRYURRA PRINCESS (A Nawawi) were both slow to begin. NICKEL ECLIPSE raced greenly throughout.

GHOST SPIRIT (App P Haris) was fractious in the barrier and raced very greenly throughout.

PENDRAGON PRINCESS (App WK Lee) jumped inwards causing GARRYURRA PRINCESS to be taken inwards and lose ground.

At about the 900M, ELEGANT DANCER (SS Vanan) was green and laid out causing JEFFREY to be forced wide. In the concluding stages, ELEGANT DANCER again laid out under pressure causing PENDRAGON PRINCESS to lay out in response.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SPECIAL LUCK, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of SPECIAL LUCK revealed that the colt returned broken-winded (grade 3) 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 4pm and was run on the Long Course instead of the Short Course as advertised, due to concerns regarding the track safety between the 600M and the 400M on the short course.

SILVER VICTOR (HS Gill) was fractious behind the barriers and was difficult to be loaded. Trainer BT Lim was warned that SILVER VICTOR must improve its barrier manners, failing which action may be taken against the gelding.

TAFFETAS (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1000M, SILVER VICTOR laid out causing THE MILLIONAIRE (S Anandan) to be taken out and to be shuffled back to the field.

At about the 1000M, CELERITAS (S Sandana) was briefly tightened for room between BADCOE (S Ruzaini) and SILVER VICTOR and lost its position as a consequence.

FAT POWER (S Salee) and HAWAIIAN KING (App S Uzair) both raced wide throughout.

At about the 400M, TAFFETAS was disappointed for a run and was forced to switch inwards to obtain clear running.

Jockey S Sandana, the rider of CELERITAS, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of CELERITAS revealed no significant finding.

Trainer R Lines stated that he had instructed Jockey F Yap to race in a midfield position but had told him to use his own initiative based on the circumstances of the race.

Jockey F Yap informed the Stewards that at about the 1000M, he attempted to place PLATOON just behind the leaders but the gelding began to over-race at this stage in response to TILSWORTH MALI (J De Souza) over-racing on his inside, he therefore found himself in a disadvantageous wide position around the bend and forfeited ground which caused PLATOON to finish his race weakly.

Trainer R Lines further added that PLATOON may have been rather fresh due to an interrupted preparation for this race. The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 1 (R1547) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 20 January 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, called Jockey HK Cheng and showed him the film of his ride D’GREAT ELEGANCE on 16 December 2017. They noted that D’GREAT ELEGANCE had repeatedly shifted in from approaching the 250M (as noted in the Stewards’ Report of 16 December 2017) in response to the whip, and questioned Jockey HK Cheng as to why, in such circumstances, he had not attempted to switch the whip to his left hand. Jockey HK Cheng responded that he felt himself to be less effective at using his whip in the left hand.

The Stewards informed him that they considered this aspect of his riding to fall below the expected standard and warned him to improve in this regard in future.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2018

SATURDAY, 20 JANUARY 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 (R076) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

Before the race, Trainer S Hamilton informed the Stewards that in view of HOW HUGE’s wide draw, she had instructed her rider, App S Rosmizan, to position the gelding well-back in the field today.

WILL BE BETTER (App AK Lim) jumped left causing ROCK AND STONE (S Sandana) to be taken left and brush HOW HUGE (App S Rosmizan).

At about the 1100M, JET ACE (I Saifudin) was over-racing and threw its head up.

MILITARY STAR (Y Narredu) 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.

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck, the Trainer of HERECOMESMYMONEY (S Ruzaini), regarding the mare’s improved performance today as compared to her last start where she finished 8^th over the same course of distance.

Trainer C Leck stated that HERECOMESMYMONEY had improved during the 6-week break between her last start and today’s race, and that she had been assisted by the application of Blinkers today. He further added that the mare had performed well in a Barrier Trial 2 weeks previously.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Sandana, the rider of ROCK AND STONE, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 800M, he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of MILITARY STAR (Y Narredu) resulting in that horse having to be checked to avoid ROCK AND STONE’s heels.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Sandana’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 29 January 2018 and to expire on 10 February 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2pm).

Approaching the 600M, NOVA DASHING had to be checked off the heels of D’GREAT ARES (SU Lim) which slowed abruptly and, in doing so, NOVA DASHING shifted in causing ZION SPLENDOUR (S Ruzaini) to be checked in its stride and to lose ground. The Stewards held an inquiry, and determined this as a racing incident and therefore no particular rider was to be blamed.

PLATOON (F Yap) raced wide throughout in order to obtain a forward position and remained wide until the 400M. The Stewards questioned Trainer R Lines as to why the horse had been ridden forward when he had indicated in the Trainer’s Instruction Form that Jockey F Yap was to take a midfield position. Having heard his explanation, the Stewards adjourned the inquiry into the running and handling of PLATOON at a date to be fixed.

At about the 200M, PERFECT RUN (App CK Khaw) laid out causing LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (Z Khairil) to be awkwardly placed on the heels of PLATOON which was weakening and losing ground. In response, LINCOLN’S EXCUSE was switched sharply out and finished wide out.

RACE 6 (R081) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

CONDADO (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

On jumping, EL CONDOR (Lou Ho) raced fiercely and attempted to lay in causing him to brush on several occasions with SATURDAY’S DELIGHT (App WK Lee) at about the 1150M. Subsequently EL CONDOR continued to lay in, carrying SEGAR THE BEST (R Shafiq) to the inside which caused GAZOO (Y Narredu) to be briefly tightened for room against the rail.

At about the 900M, GAZOO eased to avoid the heels of SEGAR THE BEST causing CONDADO directly behind him, to take a check in response.

Shortly after the 600M, TRIPLE ONE STAR (J De Souza) became unbalanced and rolled LIM’S ACTION (HS Gill) wide in response.

At about the 500M, SATURDAY’S DELIGHT rolled in briefly causing PORSENCE (F Yap) to take a check. SEGAR THE BEST which was directly behind PORSENCE on the rail, was forced to check in response, as was GAZOO which was directly behind SEGAR THE BEST. As a result of this incident, CONDADO was awkwardly placed on the heels of GAZOO and PLATINUM TYCOON (SU Lim) and was forced to check sharply and became unbalanced.

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of BLOOD ROYAL, reported that his horse did not handle the yielding going.

Jockey Y Narredu, the rider of REYSHA, reported that he was instructed to ride REYSHA from midfield but due to horses on his outside jumping more alertly, he was unable to obtain a midfield position.

The Stewards questioned Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of the winner, MR WOLFF (I Saifudin) into the gelding’s improved performance today. Trainer L Moy reported that when he noticed that the track seemed to be biased towards the front runners today, he instructed his jockey to make the running and to stay close to the inside rail in the straight. He stated that this change of tactics had the desired effect.

RACE 7 (R1562) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 17 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 2^nd January 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of PURPLE RAIN LADY (S Sandana) which raced well back in the field before making significant progress in the last 300M to finish sixth. They interviewed Jockey S Sandana and Trainer KF Wong, the rider and trainer of PURPLE RAIN LADY respectively.

Trainer KF Wong stated that he expected PURPLE RAIN LADY to be well suited by the 1400M distance of the race. However, this was the first time she had raced on a “Good” surface and all her previous form had been on “Yielding” or “Soft” going. She was also racing in a higher grade than her previous start, which she won. He explained that the step up in class and the firmer track had exposed the filly’s lack of pace.

Jockey S Sandana stated that PURPLE RAIN LADY had never been able to match the speed of the rest of the field until her rivals started to slow in the last 300M. He felt that although the filly had appeared to finish the race off strongly, it was in fact the case that she had maintained her own pace and passed tiring horses. When questioned on his intermittent use of the whip, he argued that PURPLE RAIN LADY responded well to hands and heels riding. However, he admitted that the filly had surprised him with her late rally on this occasion, the first time he had ridden her in a race.

Having heard their evidence, the Stewards warned Jockey S Sandana that in future he should ride all his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query. With regard to Trainer KF Wong’s opinion on the unsuitability of the “Good” track for PURPLE RAIN LADY, the Stewards reminded him of his obligations under MRA Rule 35(7) to report any matter which may have affected the performance of his horses in a race.

………………………..

RACE 2 (R1548) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into an incident approaching the 1100M where App L De Souza, the rider KARIGARA, had allowed his horse to drift inwards causing EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) to be crowded between KARIGARA and AUREUS (Lou Ho).

The Stewards showed App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, the film of the incident and warned him that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future. The Stewards dealt with this incident separately to the incident shortly afterwards which was caused by UNION JAC (Z Khairil) becoming unbalanced on the inside of PISCES JET (App J Daniel).

………………………..

RACE 2 (R1548) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App J Daniel, the rider of PISCES JET, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1100M, he did not leave sufficient space for UNION JAC (Z Khairil) to his inside when moving forward to the lead.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App J Daniel’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. The Stewards also took into consideration the evidence of Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of UNION JAC, who stated that his mount was over-racing on the inside of PISCES JET and it was his intention to slot in behind to obtain cover. He further stated that UNION JAC shied away from the rail which contributed to him clipping the heels of App J Daniel’s mount.

Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App J Daniel’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 24 December 2017 and to expire on 31 December 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:40pm).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App CK Khaw’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 18 December 2017 and to expire on 30 December 201, both dates inclusive.

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 (R1547) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

NOVA ACE (SU Lim) was slow to begin. He was switched outwards for a run at about the 250M but was disappointed and was forced to switch inwards to obtain a clear passage.

D’GREAT ELEGANCE (HK Cheng) was soon outpaced in rear and shifted inwards approaching the 250M, causing ARLO (M Zairi) to be taken slightly inwards in response. D’GREAT ELEGANCE commenced to make some late progress in the straight and was forced to switch wide out from the 200M to obtain clear running.

RACE 2 (R1548) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

BLADEMEISTER (WK Yan) was slowly away.

UNME (App S Saddam) was slowly away, was urged to make up ground and as a result, began to over-race and clipped the heels of BOWEN BOY (I Saifudin) causing UNME to dip and the rider to be unbalanced.

Approaching the 1100M, UNION JAC (Z Khairil) showed a tendency to over-race on the inside. As the rider attempted to check him in order to take a lead from PISCES JET (App J Daniel), the gelding shifted out, clipped the heels of PISCES JET and blundered badly. As a result, UNION JAC slipped and bumped AUREUS (Lou Ho) on his outside, pushing AUREUS wider and causing EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) which was crowded between KARIGARA (App L De Souza) and AUREUS, to be badly squeezed and Jockey SU Lim to become badly unbalanced. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into these incidents to a date to be fixed.

Jockey SU Lim lost his right side stirrup iron as a result of this incident and did not regain it until the home straight, thus was unable to ride EMPEROR WARRIOR with his full vigour and stop him from hanging out.

CAMERA STELLATA (J Mallyon) which had been placed on the heels of EMPEROR WARRIOR, was forced to take evasive action and switch out.

KARIGARA laid inwards in the last 200M.

RACE 5 (R1551) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GOLDEN DRAGON (Lou Ho) laid inwards shortly after the jump and crowded LIM’S ADMIRAL (App WK Lee) which lost its position as a result.

ABSOLUTE MAVERICK (Z Khairil) raced wide throughout.

At about the 250M, KUTTNER (F Yap) commenced to lay in under a right-hand drive and crossed OLLIE EAGLE (App AK Lim) at about the 200M when not quite clear, causing OLLIE EAGLE to take a slight check. KUTTNER continued to lay in, causing RAJA MAHKOTA (I Saifudin) to be tightened against the rail at about the 150M.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey F Yap, the rider of KUTTNER, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 250M, he allowed his horse to drift to the inside under a right-hand drive causing interference to OLLIE EAGLE and RAJA MAHKOTA to be checked against the rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey F Yap’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 18 December 2017 and to expire on 30 December 2017, both dates inclusive.

RACE 6 (R1552) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

BEIJING STAR (App AK Lim) was slow to begin and always outpaced in rear.

At about the 300M, JP REGIS (S Salee) was disappointed for a run on the heels of SALAHADDIN (S Sandana) and was angled out to obtain a clear run at about the 200M.

The Stewards questioned Trainer M Sukri and Jockey I Saifudin, the Trainer and rider of MAJOR GREEN respectively regarding the gelding’s performance today. Jockey I Saifudin reported that the horse jumped well and he had intended to ride the gelding from a forward position but the pace was strong and he sat closer to midfield. He reported that the gelding’s response in the straight to be rather one-paced and disappointing. Trainer M Sukri added that although the horse has never raced for him before, he was rather disappointed with the performance based on the horse’s trackwork.

The Stewards ordered MAJOR GREEN to be checked by the Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers as it appeared to sweat freely, however, no abnormalities were detected. A post-race veterinary examination of MAJOR GREEN revealed no significant finding. The Stewards ordered the gelding to be impounded.

Jockey H Bukhari, the rider of HK DOLLAR, was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 44(6)(c)(i) for hitting his horse forward of the shoulder.

From the 300M, GOD HELPS ME commenced to drift out under pressure. App KC Wong reported that he had limited ability to correct the drift due to his saddle slipping and as a result, ARC CARA (H Bukhari) was pushed out and the rider was forced to check off the heels of SCRAT (L Sofhan) at about the 200M.

HIGH COUNCIL (App CK Khaw) raced greenly in the straight.

At about the 300M, MOZART ECLIPSE (J De Souza) was switched in towards the rails and as he passed LARCENY (S Salee), that horse shied away in response and brushed the rail.

Acting on veterinary advice that JERAM VILLAGE was found to have a significant amount of blood in its right nostril with no sign of trauma in that area, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 5:11pm. The gelding will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

HAWAIIAN KING (App W Faizal) was slow to begin.

FORTUNIQUE (L Sofhan) was very slow to begin.

At about the 1100M, METIER STAR (J De Souza) was over-racing and was forced to check off the heels of PORSENCE (F Yap).

Between the 900M and the 600M, BADCOE (HS Gill) raced without cover.

Approaching the 400M, HAWAIIAN KING (App W Faizal) laid out causing CRAZY CLUB to be tightened for room between HAWAIIAN KING and CRAZY CLUB. App W Faizal, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was shown the vision of this incident and warned to show greater awareness to the other runners under similar circumstances in future.

When questioned regarding the performance of HAWAIIAN KING, Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of HAWAIIAN KING, reported that he had entered the horse in 3 Barrier Practices subsequent to its win in its last start and the horse had shown its moderate ability at best in those Practices. He felt that the horse had been disappointing today, although this was perhaps explained by him racing in a higher grade and having lost ground due to a poor jump. App W Faizal, the rider of HAWAIIAN KING, stated that the horse seemed to lose concentration in the barrier leading to the poor jump. A post-race veterinary examination of HAWAIIAN KING revealed no significant finding.

RACE 7 (R1542) SPORTS TOTO SUPREME CHALLENGE CUP 2017 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 12 December 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into an incident at about the 1150M in which JERAM VILLAGE (S Sandana) and GHOST EMPEROR (App P Haris) were tightened for room on the inside of KEEN DRAGON (Z Khairil). They interviewed Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of KEEN DRAGON, App P Haris, the rider of GHOST EMPEROR. and App W Faizal, the rider of ROSELLI, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy.

The Stewards observed that KEEN DRAGON slightly shied away from ROSELLI and shifted inside, causing GHOST EMPEROR and JERAM VILLAGE to be taken towards the rail. JERAM VILLAGE was then angled outwards to avoid contact with the rail and as a result GHOST EMPEROR was squeezed and forced to check. The Stewards established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such deemed it as a racing incident.

…………………………

RACE 5 (R1540) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 12 December 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, reopened an inquiry into the running and handling of LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (Z Khairil), which was switched out to obtain clear running at about the 400M and finished wide. When questioned on the race day, Jockey Z Khairil had stated that he did not take an available gap directly in front of him as he did not wish to start his finishing effort too early.

The Stewards interviewed Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of LINCOLN’S EXCUSE, and L Moy, the Trainer of LINCOLN’S EXCUSE. Trainer L Moy explained that this was the gelding’s second start for him after it had been transferred from Singapore. He had been disappointed by the previous run on 19^th November 2017 in which LINCOLN’S EXCUSE was ridden forward (by a different rider) over 1200M and failed to finish off his race strongly. After consideration and having analysed recordings of the gelding’s previous races in Singapore, he instructed Jockey Z Khairil to ride the horse in a patient manner over today’s distance of 1400M. Jockey Z Khairil stated that in his opinion, it is generally an advantage to race wide in the home straight on rain-affected going and as such he preferred to switch outside.

Having heard their evidence, the Stewards warned Jockey Z Khairil that in future he should take all available opportunities to make progress in the closing stages of a race.

…………………………

RACE 5 (R1540) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 12 December 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of KABALI (App M Hanif) which raced well back in the field before making some late progress, despite laying in between the 400M and the 200M. They interviewed App M Hanif, the rider of KABALI, and Trainer LN Danis, the Trainer of KABALI and also App Hanif’s Master.

Trainer LN Danis informed the Stewards that until the week of the race, he was under the impression that KABALI would be transferred to another Trainer in Perak and would not race under his name again. He was therefore surprised that the Owner instructed him to enter KABALI for this race, as the gelding had been under a lighter training regime in the last few weeks. Nevertheless, he did his best to prepare KABALI adequately for the race and started him in an Official Race Trial on 5^th December 2017.

App Hanif stated that as the regular rider of KABALI, he knew that the gelding would struggle after rain had affected the going and therefore attempted to maneuver to the outside at the start of the home straight in an attempt to find better ground. He further added that he had reported KABALI to be unsuited by the going.

The Stewards reminded Trainer LN Danis of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(2) in that if in future he is in any doubt over any horse’s fitness, condition or eligibility to race he must consult the Veterinary Surgeon or Stipendiary Steward before presenting the horse to race. They warned App M Hanif that in future he should ride all his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query.

…………………………

RACE 2 (R1537) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 12 December 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of ENDURANCE (App CK Khaw), which raced in rear before making late progress. They interviewed App CK Khaw, the rider of ENDURANCE, and Trainer R Lines, the Trainer of ENDURANCE and also App CK Khaw’s Master.

Trainer R Lines explained that he was rather disappointed with ENDURANCE’s last performance on 22^nd October 2017, in which the mare had been ridden aggressively to establish a clear lead but had compounded badly in the last 200M to finish eighth. He had therefore instructed App CK Khaw to ride her more conservatively on this occasion and was pleased with the result. He further added that although ENDURANCE was able to lead on 22^nd October in a 1400M race, the mare lacks sufficient pace to race forward over today’s distance of 1200M.

Having heard their evidence, the Stewards reminded Trainer R Lines of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to notify the Stewards of a horse which he intends to be ridden in a different manner than in recent starts. They warned App CK Khaw that in future he should ride all his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query.

…………………………

RACE 10 (R1545) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 12 December 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of GOOD MUMMY (App L de Souza) which was switched inside at about the 150M to obtain clear running and thereafter finished well under apparent tender handling. They interviewed App L De Souza, the rider of GOOD MUMMY and Trainer R Lines, the Trainer of GOOD MUMMY and also App L De Souza’s Master.

Trainer R Lines stated that GOOD MUMMY is usually ridden in a midfield position, but that he instructed App L De Souza to sit back in the field based on his opinion that today’s race contained several front-runners. App L De Souza stated that GOOD MUMMY was constantly changing her legs in the final 100M, which he reported to Stipendiary Steward Thanaraja Kasinathan after the race.

GOOD MUMMY was entered to race again on 16^th December 2017 but was subsequently scratched on veterinary advice. When presented to the veterinary surgeon, she was 2/5 lame at the trot and also displayed a swelling on her lower left fore. The Stipendiary Stewards used their powers under MRA Rule 21(h) to order an ultrasound examination of the affected area which revealed an area of potential damage, comprising approximately 15% of the superficial digital flexor tendon, in the same place at which the swelling was observed. As a result, GOOD MUMMY was diagnosed with an acute tendon injury of the left fore superficial digital flexor tendon and Trainer R Lines was advised that the mare should be not be subjected to full training for the next two months.

In light of this evidence, the Stewards decided not to charge App L De Souza with a breach of any MRA Rule. However, they did observe that, in their opinion, App L De Souza was riding GOOD MUMMY with less than his full vigour even before he was alerted to her discomfort by the mare changing legs in the last 100M. With this in mind, they warned him that he would be expected to ride all his horses with vigour in the latter stages of the race, noting that he had received a similar warning on 16^th September 2017. The Stewards will require GOOD MUMMY to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT – TUESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 2017

RACE 11 (R1469) CLASS 5 – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 28 November 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the reasons why App KC Wong, the rider of BARKER ROAD KID, appeared to ride with less vigour in the last 100M after taking the lead in the above race. Evidence was taken from App KC Wong, the rider of BARKER ROAD KID, in the presence of his Master, Trainer KL Chong.

App KC Wong was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) for failing to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

At approximately the 100M, he commenced to ride with less urgency and stopped using his whip.
In the last 100M of the race, when BARKER ROAD KID was in the lead, he looked over his left and right shoulders on several occasions rather than focusing on maintaining his horse’s momentum.
Between the 100M and the last 3 strides, he pushed BARKER ROAD KID with less vigour than previously, thus failing to maintain the horse’s momentum.
When he did start to push with his full strength again, it was too late to recover the momentum of BARKER ROAD KID, being in the last 3 strides of the race.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App KC Wong’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from 29 November 2017 and to expire on 28 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:50pm).

App KC Wong subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Stewards considered the application for a stay which was allowed. The Appeal will be held at a date to be fixed.

RACE 9 (R1467) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 28 November 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the start and the running and handling of SPLENDOR in the above race. Further evidence was taken from App S Uzair, the rider of SPLENDOR, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy who is also the Trainer of SPLENDOR. App S Uzair was assisted in translation by Syce Suny Bin Jainis (S.483), an employee of Trainer L Moy. App W Faizal who had previously ridden SPLENDOR in all its races and Official Race Trials, also attended at the request of the Stewards.

The Stewards also concluded their investigation into the reasons for App S Uzair being declared to ride SPLENDOR when the gelding’s established regular rider, App W Faizal was available. In this matter they were satisfied with the explanations and supporting evidence provided by Trainer L Moy and Mr CS Tan, the owner of SPLENDOR.

However, Trainer L Moy was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 35(5) which relates to the Trainer’s responsibility to give adequate instructions to the riders of their horses in every race to ensure that every horse is raced on its merit.

The particulars of the charge were that:

He failed to give adequate instructions to App S Uzair about how to react if SPLENDOR had a bad jump.
By his own admission, he did not allow for the possibility that SPLENDOR would repeat his difficult manners at the jump as demonstrated on the 15th and 29th of August 2017 in the gelding’s Official Race Trials and Practices.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Trainer L Moy’s mitigating factors, previous record, submissions on penalty, and his responsibilities as the Master of App S Uzair. He was fined RM5,000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal (3.30pm).

The Stewards warned App S Uzair that in future he should ride his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query, even if they forfeit ground at the start. They also informed him in the presence of Trainer L Moy, his Master, that until further notice, he will only be allowed to accept mounts that the Stewards deem to be suitable for him.
