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)

MAGICAL BANKER (S Uzair) was slowly away.

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. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:40pm).

At about the 250M, PLATOON (J De Souza) was forced to switch out to obtain clear running. In the last 200M, MAGICAL BANKER (App S Uzair) shifted out under pressure and had to be corrected and eased to avoid contact with SIR RALLY (S Sandana) at about the 50M.

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

SUPER DRAGON (F Yap) jumped inwards, causing AMAZING (App KC Wong) to be taken inwards which resulted in HK DOLLAR (H Bukhari) and EXCITING PROSPECT (J De Souza) being crowded between AMAZING and KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL (App CK Khaw).

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.

RACE 7 (R1553) CLASS 4 – 1100M (SHORT COURSE A)

ARECIBO (App L De Souza) and LIM’S GREETING (HS Gill) were both slow to begin.

Jockey I Saifudin, the rider of RAJA MAHESA, reported that at about the 500M, he took a precaution check to avoid the heels of GOD HELPS ME (App KC Wong).

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.

RACE 8 (R1554) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

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.

SPEED CRAFT (App KC Wong) was slow to begin.

At about the 300M, MR EPIC commenced to lay in under pressure, taking PUSONG PINOY (Lou Ho) and subsequently HEIRRO (I Saifudin) off their lines to the inside. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident until the following day.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

THURSDAY, 14 DECEMBER 2017, SLTC TRACKWORK

…………………………

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.

Selangor November Meeting

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2017

SUNDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2017

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 5), upgraded to “Good” after Race 5.

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 (R1459) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

NHS EQUINE EXPOSITION STAKES

POLO MASTER (App AK Lim) was slow to begin and was outpaced in the first half of the race.

LITTLE LION (App P Haris) which was difficult to be loaded, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

At about the 700M, NO NONSENSE (App M Hanif) eased to avoid the heels of D’GREAT WALL (App CK Khaw).

At about the 350M, NO NONSENSE was angled inwards to obtain clear running and thereafter commenced to lay in under pressure.

In the last 50M, VALENTINE BABY (App S Uzair) commenced to lay in under pressure.

The Stewards questioned App M Hanif, the rider of NO NONSENSE, in the presence of his Master, Trainer LN Danis, and Trainer SY Lim, the Trainer of NO NONSENSE. App M Hanif stated that NO NONSENSE who was wearing Blinkers for the first time, showed no inclination to go forward in the early stages. He added that the horse showed some response to pressure in the straight but laid in badly, forcing him to switch his whip at the 100M and interrupting NO NONSENSE’s momentum. A post-race veterinary examination of NO NONSENSE 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.

OLLIE EAGLE (App AK Lim) which spread a plate behind the barriers, was replated, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

D’GREAT NIMBUS (App L De Souza) which failed to reach the start within the appointed time, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:25pm. The mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the Starting Stall, to be ridden unaided to the start) test before being declared to race again.

EASTERN TOWKAY (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards causing LIM’S RANGER (HS Gill) to be crowded between EASTERN TOWKAY and D’GREAT NIMBUS. As a result, LIM’S RANGER lost its position.

Approaching the 1000M, OLLIE EAGLE laid in causing EASTERN TOWKAY and GOOD MUMMY (J De Souza) to be crowded on his inside and as a consequence. REYSHA (J Mallyon) was forced to check off the heels of GOOD MUMMY. In doing so, REYSHA shifted inwards crowding VERGLATICA (App T See). The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident to a date to be fixed.

At about the 300M, OLLIE EAGLE shifted out under pressure causing EASTERN TOWKAY to be taken wider. Approaching the 200M, OLLIE EAGLE again rolled out, making contact with EASTERN TOWKAY which was carried off its true racing line. REYSHA was shifted out in response to this incident. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident to a date to be fixed.

MAXIM DRAGON (G Pereira) began awkwardly and in doing so, shifted in and brushed FRENCH VINTAGE.

PROHIBITION (HS Gill) was wide until the home straight.

FLIGHT OFTHE SAKER raced with little enthusiasm until showing a belated response in the final 200M at which point he was forced to switch out to avoid the heels of UNCLE POLO (App AK Lim).

NHS DRESSAGE STAKES

SACRED SPIN (App T See) stood still when the barrier opened and lost many lengths. When questioned, App T See, the rider of SACRED SPIN, stated that the horse commenced to lose concentration in the barrier despite his attempts to maintain the horse’s focus by forcing his head upwards. A post-race veterinary examination of SACRED SPIN revealed no significant finding. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again and was impounded.

NANA (J Mallyon) was slow to begin.

At about the 1000M, HAPPY EDDINGTON (SS Vanan) had to be eased off the heels of RISING GLORY (App KC Wong).

At about the 350M, RISING GLORY (App KC Wong) commenced to lay in under pressure and at about the 200M, shifted out abruptly and had to be straightened to avoid contact with LIKA TIGER (J De Souza). Approaching the 100M, RISING GLORY again shifted out, causing LIKA TIGER to be taken slightly wide.

At about the 300M, GOOD DEAL (App S Zulfikri) commenced to lay in under pressure and had to be straightened to avoid contact with GREENSTONE (A Nawawi).

RACE 5 (R1463) MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

NHS BREED DISPLAY STAKES

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

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of SWEEPING CHANCE which was withdrawn due to extreme unruliness in the barrier, was seen to kick out at a section of running rail in anger. The Stewards, while accepting that he had been genuinely frightened, warned him about his conduct. Jockey HS Gill was examined by the Club Doctor and was passed fit to fulfill the remainder of his riding engagements today.

SWEEPING CHANCE was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 2:55pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

TEDDY BEAR (App S Zulfikri) was slow to begin.

At about the 300M, POKEMON BABY (App AK Lim) laid in abruptly in response to a right-handed drive causing LISBOA STAR (J De Souza) to be bumped and taken to the left.

SHARON’S STAR laid out under pressure at about the 200M and thereafter laid in and raced greenly.

At about the 200M, POKEMON BABY again shifted to the left as WHAT IFF (S Anandan) shifted to the right causing LISBOA STAR to be crowded between them and eased momentarily. LISBOA STAR was switched out to obtain clear running at about the 150M.

PERFECT PEARL (App KC Wong) jumped awkwardly causing the rider to become unbalanced and brushed with AMI ELEVEN (App L De Souza).

At about the 1150M, ALAN (SU Lim) appeared to stumble briefly and as a consequence, PERFECT PEARL lost his position and was forced to run wide between the 1000M and the 800M in order to obtain forward position.

Thereafter SPLENDOR became unbalanced and forfeited a significant amount of ground. SPLENDOR was unable to catch up with the rest of the field and raced in a detached last place throughout. The Stewards opened an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the start and the running and handling of SPLENDOR in the race.

The Stewards took initial evidence from the Starter, Assistant Starter and Mr Fazal Maula, the Barrier Handler who had held SPLENDOR’s tail when requested to do so. They also took initial evidence from Trainer L Moy who was questioned about his reasons for declaring App S Uzair to ride SPLENDOR given that App W Faizal, who had ridden the gelding to win his previous start, was available. Having heard this initial evidence, the Stewards adjourned the inquiry to a date to be fixed.

HIGH COUNCIL (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

LEE BANK (App P Haris) laid out approaching the 400M in response to the rider using the whip in his left hand. The Stewards noted the improvement in LEE BANK’s racing manners today and informed Trainer M Sukri that they would accept the booking of App P Haris for this ride in future.

RAINBOW FISH (App CK Khaw) reared badly leaving the stalls, jumped very awkwardly and lost several lengths. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 300M, SANDY’S PRIDE (J De Souza) laid out and when corrected, laid in causing D’GREAT OPULENT (App AM Aizat) and EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) to be crowded on the inside. At this point, HAPPY FAMILY (App J Daniel) which was racing on the outside of SANDY’S PRIDE also shifted in. The Stewards held an inquiry into this incident and issued a reprimand to App AM Aizat for attempting to move into an insufficient gap. The Stewards also issued reprimands to both Jockey J De Souza and App J Daniel and warned them to exercise greater efforts to keep their mounts straight in future.

At about the 250M, PATERSON ROAD (App L De Souza) was disappointed for a run between RAINBOW STAR (App M Hanif) and BARKER ROAD KID (App KC Wong).

At about the 100M, D’GREAT OPULENT (App AM Aizat) shifted in under pressure, taking SANDY’S PRIDE to the left and caused EMPEROR WARRIOR to be tightened against the rail and forced to check. Thereafter EMPEROR WARRIOR was eased down by Jockey SU Lim. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident to a date to be fixed.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

SUNDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2017, SLTC NOVEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards called before them Jockey SS Vanan and showed him the film of his rides on ACME (21/10/17), LUCKY SIXTYSIX (22/10/17) and ARLO (29/10/17). In each case, Jockey SS Vanan was observed to have taken an excessive amount of time to switch his whip from one hand to the other.

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.

WEDNESDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 2017, SLTC TRACKWORK

Trainer LN Danis was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for presenting CAMERA STELLATA (R603) with a wrong saddle cloth number for the above trackwork.

Trainer L Moy was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for allowing VALENTINE BABY (Y222) to be on the heath track during the above trackwork when not permitted to do so.

RACE 9 (R1342) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 22 OCTOBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 14 November 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of ARC CARA. Evidence was taken from App S Zulfikri, the rider of ARC CARA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer PS Kumaran, and Trainer S Dunderdale, the Trainer of ARC CARA.

App S Zulfikri was found guilty of a charge of incompetent riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(b)(iii) in that:

Despite knowing that ARC CARA had a tendency to lay in during its races, he used his whip in the right hand in the straight.
Between the 400M and the 150M, he continued to use his whip in the right hand causing ARC CARA to drift towards other horses and away from the available gap between MORE POWER (J De Souza) and D’ GREAT VULTURE (App KC Wong), thus making it necessary to ease and straighten the gelding on multiple occasions, and interrupt his momentum.
By his own admission to the Stewards, he felt unable to use his whip effectively in his left hand.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Zulfikri’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) months with effect from 20 November 2017 and to expire on 19 January 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:05pm).

RACE 5 (R1376) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 31 October 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of IMMORTALITY. Evidence was taken from Trainer S Dunderdale and Jockey H Bukhari, the Trainer and rider of IMMORTALITY respectively.

Trainer S Dunderdale explained that IMMORTALITY found the 1200M distance of this race too short but there was no alternative race in which to run the mare. He added that the mare may have been unsuited by the “yielding” going.

Jockey H Bukhari stated that IMMORTALITY struggled to keep up with the early pace and was shuffled back into last place at about the 1000M. When asked why he did not attempt to get closer at about the 500M or develop a run on the outside at about the 400M, he replied that the mare was not travelling fluently and was simply unable to make up ground at this point of the race. He further added that IMMORTALITY shifted in away from the whip at about the 300M which made it more difficult to obtain clear running.

After considering the evidence and reviewing the films, the Stewards decided to take no further action.

RACE 7 (R1378) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNGEI BESI AUTOWORLD CUP, SUNDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2017

At the conclusion of an inquiry on 31 October 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, Jockey H Bukhari, the rider of JERAM VILLAGE, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that in the last 50M in this race, he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of SCRAT (TK Barnabas).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey H Bukhari’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Selangor Turf Club race days with immediate effect from 31 October 2017 and to expire on 10 December 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:50pm).

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

RACE 1 (R1372) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

BUZZ MAN (Lou Ho) was slow to begin.

BLADEMEISTER (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride and was forced to race wide on the bend.

CRESCENDO (Y Narredu) was taken slightly outwards at about the 400M at which point the rider chose to switch inwards in order to obtain clear running. CRESCENDO was thereafter crowded in its final strides as VALBERRY (S Anandan) laid outwards and DEE MAJULAH (J De Souza) laid inwards.

DEE MAJULAH shifted outwards under pressure in the last 200M and conceded ground as a consequence.

HERECOMESMYMONEY (M Zairi) was forced to switch out in the last 50M to obtain clear running.

At about the 400M, DRAGON WALK (App L De Souza) shifted inwards abruptly, taking SUNTZU (App AM Aizat) inwards onto the heels of SUPER GOOD (SU Lim). SUNTZU was forced to check and ease.

At about the 350M, GUILTLESS (M Zairi) shifted out causing GOLDEN DRAGON (Lou Ho) to be checked out in response.

RACE 4 (R1375) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:10pm.

MEGUSTO (App S Zulfikri) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the first bend, ARLO (SS Vanan) was over-racing, green and shifted out.

At about the 300M, PERFECT PRIZE (App L De Souza) commenced to lay out under pressure and crossed BOOSTER (J De Souza) when not fully clear causing that horse to take a check in response. At about the 200M, PERFECT PRIZE continued to lay out and forced POKEMON BABY (App AK Lim) wide and in the last 100M, PERFECT PRIZE and POKEMON BABY crowded each other and made sustained contact.

An objection was lodged by Trainer WC Lim and App AK Lim, the Trainer and rider of POKEMON BABY respectively, placed second, against PERFECT PRIZE (App L De Souza) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 200M and from the 100M to the winning post.

After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App L De Souza, the rider of PERFECT PRIZE, 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 approaching the 200M, he allowed his horse to shift out when insufficiently clear, causing BOOSTER to check. He then continued to allow his horse to shift out causing POKEMON BABY to be taken to the outside.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App L De Souza’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 his suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 6 November 2017 and to expire on 18 November 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:35pm).

SHARON’S STAR (App A Thamil) shifted inwards under pressure in the last 200M.

LUCKY SIXTYSIX (C Goon) was forced to race wide throughout.

App L De Souza who rode his 10^th winner on PERFECT PRIZE in this race, would only be entitled to claim 3kgs allowance as from Monday, 30 October 2017.

IMMORTALITY (H Bukhari) was slowly into stride.

From the 1100M to the 1000M, TAKEAIM (HS Gill) over-raced and had to be sharply checked approaching the bend, to avoid the heels of DAWN PROSPECT (Y Aify). IMMORTALITY was shuffled back in this incident.

IMMORTALITY subsequently raced in rear before making late ground between rivals in the straight. The Stewards opened an inquiry into the running and handling of IMMORTALITY and adjourned it at a date to be fixed.

D’GREAT RICH (J De Souza) over-raced from the 1000M to the 800M.

AUD DOLLAR (App S Zulfikri) was forced wide in order to obtain a midfield position.

At about the 400M, LIM’S ADMIRAL was observed to shy away from ZHUHAI (App CK Khaw) on his inside.

From the 200M, AUD DOLLAR laid inwards under pressure and was then switched out to obtain clear running at about the 100M.

In the last 100M, JERAM VILLAGE shifted in under pressure and caused SCRAT (TK Barnabas) to be steadied approaching the line. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry to a date to be fixed.

The Stewards questioned Trainer BT Lim and App WK Lee, the Trainer and rider of LIM’S ADMIRAL, into the disappointing performance of the gelding. App WK Lee reported that the horse broke awkwardly, struck the side of the barrier as he left it and therefore failed to get a good jump. Trainer BT Lim reported that the horse was, in his opinion, unsuited by the going on this occasion. The Stewards noted their explanations.

ROCK AND STONE (HK Cheng) was slow to find its stride and had to be urged to obtain the lead at about the 900M.

At about the 300M, NUMERO UNO was disappointed for a run and RISE UP THE RANK (J De Souza) was switched out to obtain clear running. HK DOLLAR shied away from RISE UP THE RANK at this point and conceded ground.

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 (R1334) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

UNCLE POLO (App S Saddam) was slowly into stride but soon recovered into a midfield position.

At about the 200M, SEA HORIZON (App CK Khaw) commenced to shift out, continued to shift away from the rider’s whip and at about the 100M, caused BOOSTER (J De Souza), GAZOO (App T See) and JUST DUIT (C Goon) to be taken out. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident at a date to be fixed.

RACE 2 (R1335) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon) jumped awkwardly and commenced to race greenly in the first 400M.

IMMORTALITY (App S Zulfikri) was outpaced for the first half of the race.

Rounding the bend at about the 500M, GERMANIC (HS Gill) laid out around the bend causing RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN to be taken wide.

At about the 200M, RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN was disappointed for a run as D’GREAT ERA (App KC Wong) laid out slightly under pressure and thereafter RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN raced awkwardly and ungenerously, and was inclined to lay in behind other horses.

LIM’S ADMIRAL (App WK Lee) laid out when tiring in the last 200M.

At about the 150M, TRIPLE ONE STAR (J De Souza) was switched out to obtain clear running, causing AUD DOLLAR (H Bukhari) to be taken out. After taking evidence from Jockey J De Souza and reviewing the film of the incident, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey J De Souza and warned him that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

The Stewards questioned Trainer SB Tan and Jockey H Bukhari, the Trainer and rider of AUD DOLLAR respectively, into the mare’s performance. In response to the observations that different tactics were employed today as compared to the 1^st of October 2017 when AUD DOLLAR had led from the start and finished second, Trainer SB Tan replied that he felt the mare had run away with her Apprentice rider on that occasion. Jockey H Bukhari added that in his opinion, the mare was well suited to the racing pattern employed today, and would have finished closer but for interference in the straight. Trainer SB Tan stated that with hindsight, AUD DOLLAR would be better suited by racing over 1400M and that he would try to start her over that distance next time.

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.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2017

SATURDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2017

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 (R1324) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer L Moy was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on BOWEN BOY.

Approaching the first bend at about the 1000M, DETERMINE TO WIN (C Goon) took a precautionary check, causing WILL BE BETTER (App AK Lim) to check off its heels which in turn caused FIORELLA (SU Lim) to check off WILL BE BETTER’s heels. At the same time, JOE SWIPER (App KC Wong) rolled in slightly, causing the rider to check and correct which led to a brush with ROCK AND STONE (App S Saddam).

After reviewing the films of the 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.

At about the 250M, FIORELLA was forced to switch out to obtain a clear run.

At the 150M, JOE SWIPER (App KC Wong) commenced to lay out under pressure.

The Stewards questioned Trainer LN Danis into the performance of MILITARY STAR (Y Narredu). Trainer LN Danis explained that he had instructed his rider to be handy, but to take the lead if it was easily available, however in hindsight he felt that MILITARY STAR was unsuited for having to compete for the lead in what turned out to be a fast run race.

Jockey Y Narredu stated that he got to the lead easily but thereafter was harassed by MYSTIC WARRIOR (App AM Aizat) and that MILITARY STAR was never able to relax as a consequence. A post-race veterinary examination of MILITARY STAR revealed no significant finding.

In the first 100M, VALBERRY (S Anandan) shifted in, taking DELTA WING (App KC Wong) inwards and causing RAINBOW CENTRE (App AK Lim) to check off the heels of DELTA WING. After reviewing the films of the incident, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey S Anandan and warned him that in future he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances. The Stewards also reprimanded App KC Wong and warned him that in future he must show greater awareness of other horses shortly after the start.

App T See, the rider of HERECOMESMYMONEY, was shown the film of his ride in the concluding stages and was reminded of his obligations under MRA Rule 44(6) that in future he would be expected to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

GOLDEN CHOICE (H Bukhari) was forced to race wide throughout.

DRAGON WALK (J De Souza) weakened badly in the last 200M. DRAGON WALK compounded in the last 200M and as a result GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) which was making some late progress, was forced to check and switch out to avoid DRAGON WALK’S heels.

The Stewards questioned Trainer R Lines about the disappointing performance of DRAGON WALK. Trainer R Lines reported that the gelding may have been unsuited by the “firm” track on this occasion. The Stewards requested Trainer R Lines to report back to the Stewards if there is anything amiss with the gelding on returning to his stable. Jockey J De Souza was also questioned but stated that he was unable to offer any explanation for the disappointing performance of DRAGON WALK.

After reviewing the films of the 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.

TEDDY BEAR (H Bukhari) raced awkwardly and ungenerously in rear until the straight.

At about the 300M, POKEMON BABY commenced to lay in under pressure causing HAPPY DAYZ (S Anandan) to be tightened against the rail and D’GREAT EMPRESS (HK Cheng) to check sharply and switch out to avoid the heels of HAPPY DAYZ. D’GREAT EMPRESS was unbalanced by this incident and shifted out causing SKYHAWK (SU Lim) being forced to take evasive action.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App S Saddam, the rider of POKEMON BABY, 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 he allowed his horse to drift towards the rail at about the 300M without taking sufficient corrective measures.

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. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 23 October 2017 and to expire on 5 November 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:05pm).

RAINBOW STAR (Y Narredu) was slow to find its stride and was forced to take a wide position.

The Stewards questioned Trainer F Maynard and App KC Wong regarding the disappointing performance of D’GREAT OPULENT. Trainer F Maynard stated that in his opinion, the horse was a one-paced galloper which prefers a longer distance. App KC Wong made the same observations and added that the horse was laying in under pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT OPULENT 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.

App P Haris, the rider of BIG GHOST, in the presence of his Acting Master, B Trainer Veloo s/o Kanniah, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1000M, he shifted in when insufficiently clear of IMMORTALITY(App S Zulfikri) causing that horse to be checked against the rail.

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 three (3) Selangor Turf Club race days with effect from 21 October 2017 and to expire on 29 October 2017, both dates inclusive.

That Trainer SB Tan indicated on the Trainer’s Instruction Form that he wanted GOOD DEAL to be ridden in a handy to midfield position when it was unlikely to be able to achieve such a position, as was demonstrated on its previous start over the same course and distance on 16 September 2017.
That GOOD DEAL’s racing pattern over 1200M had already been established, but Trainer SB Tan did not give App S Zulfikri adequate instructions to ride the race in accordance with this established pattern.

RACE 5 (R1227) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 1 OCTOBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2017

RACE 5 (R1169) METRO A – 1700M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 3 October 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry opened on 17 September 2017 into the running and handling of TRUSON which raced in last place until the home straight where it made modest late ground. Further evidence was taken from Jockey F Yap and Trainer S Cook, the rider and Trainer of TRUSON respectively. Jockey F Yap was assisted by Trainer WC Lim as an interpreter at this inquiry. Jockey Lou Ho was also called as a witness as he was previously TRUSON’s regular rider.

Trainer S Cook stated that TRUSON has a habit of over-racing and he therefore instructed Jockey F Yap to get the gelding settled with cover before making his effort in the straight.

Jockey F Yap stated that he was able to get TRUSON settled in last place early despite the gelding throwing his head up in response to being restrained. He further stated that the bit was not in full contact with TRUSON’s mount and that he feared that the gelding would run wide if asked to improve his positon. For this reason, he felt unable to take an opportunity to improve on the inside at the 1200M or to make ground on the outside between the 1000M and the 700M resulting in TRUSON getting further back than ideal.

After considering the evidence tendered and reviewing the films, the Stewards decided not to lay a charge under the Rules of Racing. However, the Stewards warned Jockey F Yap that in future he would be expected to ride throughout the race in such a manner so as to leave no room for query regarding his commitment to ensuring that his mounts were well positioned.

At the 300M, TIGER BAY again shifted marginally out and ONE FOR ALL shied away from the whip of Jockey J De Souza, the rider of TIGER BAY. This in turn caused PERFECT PEARL to be taken to the right, while at the same time, receiving pressure from FLYING NEKO (S Anandan) which laid inwards abruptly.

In the first 100M, there was a brush between AUSSIE EAGLE (G Pereira) and SHARON’S STAR (App M Hanif) which caused SHARON’S STAR to race greenly and throw its head in the air.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Y Aify, the rider of THE JEUNEYMAN, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to shift inwards at about the 1000M, leaving insufficient space for AUSSIE EAGLE (G Pereira) and CHIPS (App KC Wong) to his inside.

Approaching the 400M, on straightening, POKEMON BABY (App AK Lim) became unbalanced and laid out causing HK DOLLAR (H Bukhari) to be taken wide.

At about the 400M, POKEMON BABY shifted in under pressure causing CROWN PRINCE (C Goon) to be short of room and unbalanced.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App AK Lim, the rider of POKEMON BABY, in the presence of his Master, Trainer WC Lim, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 400M mark, he allowed his horse to shift inwards away from the right hand whip causing interference to CROWN PRINCE.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App AK Lim’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 2 October 2017 and to expire on 8 October 2017, both dates inclusive.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 7 (R1171) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B), SUNDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 27 September 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into an incident where App S Zulfikri had his feet out of the irons and never regained them at any stage during the above race. Further evidence was taken from App S Zulfikri, the rider of BANKERS CALL, in the presence of his Acting Master, B Trainer Siva Kumar s/o Subramaniam, B Trainer Teh Ming Wan, the representative of Trainer SB Tan, the Trainer of BANKERS CALL, App W Faizal, the rider of COLIN THE FIRTH, Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL, Dr Silamban Subbarao (Chief Starter), Dr Dasarathurao Seeta Ramaiah (Assistant Starter) and Dr Shri Kanth (Senior Veterinary Surgeon).

After considering the evidence tendered and reviewing the various angles of the films including the barrier cameras, the Stewards decided to take no further action but warned App S Zulfikri that in future he must communicate clearly to the Starter if he is not ready. However, having heard conflicting accounts from the various witnesses, the Stewards gave App S Zulfikri the benefit of the doubt on this occasion. The Stewards further accepted App S Zulfikri’s explanation that having left the barrier without his feet in the irons, he tried to make the best of a bad situation in the race itself.

RACE 3 (R1167) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 27 September 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of PERFECT PEARL in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey SS Vanan and Trainer L Moy, the rider and Trainer of PERFECT PEARL respectively.

Jockey SS Vanan 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:

He urged PERFECT PEARL into a six length lead in the first 200M, contrary to the Trainer’s instructions.

He took insufficient steps to check how far back his rivals were throughout the first half of the race.
In the first half of the race, he allowed PERFECT PEARL to race at an overly fast pace which it had no hope of maintaining, resulting in the gelding tiring badly.
He made no attempt to give PERFECT PEARL a breather at any stage despite being 10 lengths clear at the 800M.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SS Vanan’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 Jockey SS Vanan’s suspension at his request. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of 4 months with effect from 2 October 2017 and to expire on 1 February 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:50pm).

Jockey SS Vanan 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 will be held at a date to be fixed.

TUESDAY, 26 SEPTEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB

RESUME RIDING: APP P HARIS

The Stewards granted permission for App P Haris to resume riding as his suspension expired on 25 September 2017.

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

Acting on veterinary advice that TEDDY BEAR (Y Aify) was found to have sustained superficial skin laceration on the near hind and to be lame near hind (float injury), the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 2:19pm.

Jockey Lou Ho, the rider of CHIPS, felt unwell at the barriers and was subsequently declared unfit to ride by the Club Doctor. As there was insufficient time to arrange for a replacement rider, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of CHIPS at 5:02pm.

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

RACE 1 (R1137) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)

BULL AND BEAR (F Yap) was slow to begin.

At about the 800M, ACME (SS Vanan) had to steady to avoid running onto the heels of D’GREAT NIMBUS (J De Souza).

At about the 200M, SATELLITE KING (SU Lim) was forced to take a check as MYSTIC WARRIOR (App AM Aizat) shifted out. The Stewards took evidence from App AM Aizat, the rider of MYSTIC WARRIOR, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard. After reviewing the films and considering the evidence tendered, App AM Aizat was reprimanded and warned to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

App AK Lim who rode his 80^th winner on WILL BE BETTER in this race, would only be entitled to claim 1kg allowance as from Monday, 11 September 2017.

The saddle on BLACK THORN (S Anandan) and the tongue-tie on SUPER BONUS (G Pereira) were readjusted behind the barriers.

D’GREAT WALL (SU Lim) was checked by the Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers and was passed fit to race.

D’GREAT WALL was fractious in the barrier and jumped away awkwardly.

CHAMPAGNE ROSE (F Yap) and SURPRISE SURPRISE (App W Faizal) were both slow into stride.

DRAGON WALK (J De Souza) was unable to obtain cover and raced wide in the early part of the race.

Racing to the 300M, BLACK THORN raced greenly resulting in LIM’S RANGER (App A Zaimuddin) having to be steadied to obtain a clear run. BLACK THORN continued to race greenly at about the 200M resulting in Jockey S Anandan having to stop riding momentarily to straighten the gelding.

The Stewards questioned Trainer R Lines and Jockey J De Souza into the disappointing performance of DRAGON WALK. Trainer R Lines stated that his instructions were to be handy to midfield and this was confirmed from the Trainer’s Instruction Form. He explained that from Barrier 12, DRAGON WALK was unable to secure a forward position with cover causing the gelding to over-race and weaken badly in the straight as a consequence. He further stated that DRAGON WALK has been working well and could not offer any further explanation on the disappointing performance. Jockey J De Souza made similar comments.

The Stewards informed Trainer R Lines to report back to the Stewards if there is anything amiss with the gelding on returning to his stable. The Stewards noted their explanations.

At the conclusion of an inquiry today, App L De Souza, the rider of D’GREAT RICH, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) in that he failed to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that in the last 30M, he rode with insufficient vigour. App L De Souza admitted to the Stewards that he was unaware of SPLENDOR (App W Faizal) closing on his inside. He was fined RM2000/- and was advised of his Right of Appeal.

The Stewards questioned Jockey L Sofhan and Trainer LN Danis into the disappointing performance of GAZOO. Jockey L Sofhan stated that the horse had a tendency to go to sleep in the barrier if left in more than a short period of time as it was today. He further stated that after a slow start, the horse raced lazily and he was able to make only moderate progress from the rear division in the straight.

Trainer LN Danis added that he had requested GAZOO to be loaded last but due to the misbehavior of SPIN FIRE, GAZOO had, in fact, been loaded second last. The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 6 (R1142) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE B)

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

ZENZERO (C Goon) was slow to begin and required urging to take up a forward position.

Approaching the 1400M, ELEGENT (Y Aify) steadied to avoid the heels of SATELLITE LEGEND (M Zairi) which rolled in. D’GREAT HAWK (SU Lim) was briefly tightened against the rail in the same incident.

At about the 350M, AMI ELEVEN (App L De Souza) shifted out slightly under pressure.

WINNING STAR (S Anandan) 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.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that D’GREAT HAWK returned having bled.

RACE 7 (R1143) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)

PROHIBITION (A Nawawi) was slow to begin.

WINGED FOOT (G Pereira) was slow to find its stride and had to be pushed to obtain a forward position.

DIRAC (SU Lim) raced wide throughout without cover.

EQUALLY OPTIMISTIC (C Goon) was out-paced between the 800M and the 400M, and lost its position. The Stewards questioned Jockey C Goon, the rider of EQUALLY OPTIMISTIC, who stated that he tried his best to gain a handy position but was unable to do so and found himself in the middle of the pack. He was then forced to check and switch out inside the 400M to avoid running onto the heels of SPADE OF ACE (App AK Lim). After that, EQUALLY OPTIMISTIC proved one-paced in the concluding stages. The Stewards noted his comments.

STREET OF LONDON (M Zairi) had to be eased approaching the finish to avoid running onto the heels of SPADE OF ACE.

RACE 8 (R1144) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)

FORTUNIQUE (Y Aify) was very slow to begin.

LEE BANK (App S Zulfikri) fly-jumped leaving the stalls, raced awkwardly throughout and hung to the outside throughout the race.

TAFFETAS (J De Souza) was briefly eased at the 500M as US DOLLAR (S Anandan) rolled in, had to be switched out repeatedly in the straight to obtain clear running.

The Stewards questioned Trainer M Sukri and App S Zulfikri into the performance of LEE BANK. Trainer M Sukri explained that the gelding had a tendency to get onto the wrong lead leg around the bend and hung to the outside. App S Zulfikri stated that LEE BANK was tractable in the straight but proved impossible to handle around the bend. As a consequence of this, LEE BANK will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for a having poor performance. The Stewards informed Trainer M Sukri that he should carefully consider whether it is appropriate to use an Apprentice Jockey on a horse with such awkward racing manners.

RACE 9 (R1145) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)

MAGICAL TALENT (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

BATTLE KING (M Zairi) was slowly into stride, raced poorly and finished tailed out. Jockey M Zairi reported that his horse’s bit had slipped through its mouth. In view of the gelding’s poor performance and its long absence from the track before this race, BATTLE KING which was beaten 19 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 200M, CLIP THE TICKET (SU Lim) switched out when insufficiently clear which caused MAGICAL TALENT to be taken out to the right onto IDEAL GUIDE (J De Souza).

When attempting to find clear running at about the 200M, ONE FOR ALL (App M Hanif) ran onto the heels of SATELLITE BOY (App AK Lim) causing App AK Lim to switch sharply to the outside. Thereafter ONE FOR ALL finished the race wide.

TAKEAIM was disappointed for a run and switched in at about the 200M.

The Stewards opened an inquiry into the riding of CLIP THE TICKET which finished unplaced. After taking evidence from Jockey SU Lim and Trainer F Maynard, the rider and Trainer of CLIP THE TICKET respectively, the Stewards adjourned the inquiry to a date to be fixed.

An inquiry into the whip use of Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of GIBRALTAR PARK, will be held at a date to be fixed.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of LORD OF SHANGHAI, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 300M in this race, he switched out for a clear run when insufficiently clear of IDEAL GUIDE (J De Souza) causing that horse to be checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey L Sofhan’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 Jockey L Sofhan’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 18 September 2017 and to expire on 24 September 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:50pm).

RACE 10 (R1146) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)

JUBILATION (M Zairi) got cast in the barrier. Acting on veterinary advice that JUBILATION had sustained injury to both of its hind and off fore legs, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 5:05pm. The gelding will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

GRAND SHOW (App AM Aizat) and BIG MOTOR (A Nawawi) were both slow to find their strides.

At about the 400M, TOTALITY (App AK Lim) clipped heels with KING ROULETTE (App M Hanif) causing App AK Lim to be unseated. LIM’S BATTLE (App A Zaimuddin) shied away from the faller and BIG MOTOR was forced to take evasive action at the rear of the field. App AK Lim was subsequently examined by the Club Doctor and although not seriously hurt, was stood down from his remaining riding engagement for the day.

At about the 300M, GRAND SHOW was disappointed for a run and shortly thereafter, shifted out causing a minor brush with LUCKY SIXTYSIX (SS Vanan).
