RACE 1 (R095) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

LIM’S MYSTERY (App R Nuqman) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 800M, FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) rolled out, bumping BUKIT SUBANG which in turn shifted, carrying TRINITY ROCKET (SU Lim) which checked from the heels of GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza). In assessing this incident, the Stewards considered that FRENCH VINTAGE, in shifting out, had tightened the horse on its outside, whereby TRINITY ROCKET had to steady from GOOD VIBRATIONS which had been hanging in prior to this.

D’GREAT STRIKE raced fiercely with its head in the air and was taken wide from the 700M, and was inclined to lay inwards in the straight with Jockey R Shafiq having to straighten on several occasions.

CAVATINA (App P Mogun) was forced to race wide.

A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT STRIKE 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.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MIROTIC (App CK Khaw) returned having cast its near hind plate.

On inquiry, App S Rosmizan, the rider of JUST DUIT, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer S Hamilton, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that near the 1000M, D’GREAT STRIKE (R Shafiq) had to check when crossed by JUST DUIT (App S Rosmizan), bumping the hind-quarters of BUKIT SUBANG (AK Lim).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Rosmizan’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 20 January 2020 and to expire on 1 February 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4pm).

CHERON WARRIOR (App CK Khaw) was unruly prior to the start.

LINCOLN CITY (KC Wong) dwelt on jumping, losing considerable ground.

Although pushed hard in the early stages, BEIJING STAR (C Goon) was reluctant to go forward, racing in rearward positon. When questioned regarding the performance of BEIJING STAR, Trainer S Edwards advised that the gelding was having its second start after a severe tendon injury and was again disappointing. He believed that BEIJING STAR may be better suited over a longer distance but had reservations related to the gelding’s mental state.

MY GOODNESS (App A Suriya) was obliged to race wide in the middle stages.

PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was inclined to lay outwards over the concluding stages.

KING COBRA (AK Lim) drifted out and near the 50M, made contact with PERFECT RUN.

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:05pm.

After dipping at the start, ASHHAB (HS Gill) was bumped when FUNKADELIC (C Goon) shifted out quickly and shortly after, steadied when crowded by SUNTZU (App S Rosmizan). When questioned regarding the performance of ASHHAB, Jockey HS Gill advised that after being interfered with at the start, ASHHAB was reluctant to progress and failed to respond to his urging. On straightening, he had taken the gelding wide, looking for a clear passage, and although the gelding had run somewhat in the straight, it had peaked on its run near the 200M.

STAR INVINCIBLE (App CK Khaw) and MARTIN VJ (R Shafiq) were slow to begin.

MARTIN VJ raced wide until straightening. Jockey R Shafiq was questioned regarding his ride on MARTIN VJ. He stated that he had been instructed to see how the gelding jumped and to ride it where it was “comfortable”. MARTIN VJ had been slow into stride and failed to show early pace being ridden rearward by the 1000M, he had progressed into the race well and after riding MARTIN VJ strongly on straightening, it had not responded and was inclined to be one-paced. Further, the gelding had shifted in when struck with the whip causing him to steady. He reported that MARTIN VJ had made a bad noise. A post-race veterinary examination of MARTIN VJ revealed no significant finding. This inquiry was adjourned to allow for MARTIN VJ’s Trainer, PS Kumaran to be called.

ORIENTAL SPIRIT (App AR Aiman) raced wide in the early and middle stages.

On jumping, AFFLECK (R Rueven) shifted inwards, crowding DIRECTOR (App R Nuqman) which contacted BEST TOTHELIGN (App L De Souza). After taking into consideration Jockey R Rueven’s excellent riding record, the Stewards issued a warning rather than preferring a charge of careless riding.

NOVA STRIKE (App CK Khaw) was slow into stride and drifted out in the straight, finishing wide on the track.

SHOWBOY (J De Souza) was inclined to shift in passing the 200M.

As there was no other suitable rider available without setting a precedent, specific permission was granted by the Racing Stewards for Jockey HK Cheng to be the replacement rider of KHUDAWAND as Jockey R Shafiq was stood down by the Club Doctor.

POKEMON BABY (AK Lim) which was unable to be loaded, will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again. The gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:06pm.

HAYTHAM (B Pinheiro) and ZA’EM (J De Souza) were slow to begin.

DUNE SAGA (App CK Khaw) and HAYTHAM were inclined to lay inwards in the straight.

When questioned as to why he was so far back, Jockey B Pinheiro advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable as its previous starts had been less than ideal. He had been blocked early and although in a rearward position, believed that with the very fast early pace would allow him to make ground in the straight.

Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed these instructions and advised that HAYTHAM was a very big horse which he had trouble in its training. Given the performance, the Stewards advised that HAYTHAM will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again due to racing intractability.

App S Rosmizan (SUPER LINE), when questioned, advised that from his wide barrier draw, he wanted to have SUPER LINE race handy but he had been unable to secure a forward position and he felt that the nature of the track (yielding) had adversely affected the gelding’s ability to race with a fast early pace

Jockey HS Gill (BIG BUS) advised that BIG BUS had thrown its head prior to the start being effected and fly-jumped, resulting in him being in a rearward positon rather than being handy. Whilst this had not been ideal for BIG BUS, he believed that the fast early pace would allow BIG BUS to make ground in the straight. The gelding had been uncomfortable that the “sticky” nature of the track.

L’KEN (C Goon) was slow to begin.

Jockey HK Cheng was questioned regarding his riding of READY TO ROLL. He stated that he had been instructed to ride off the pace, however, after jumping extremely well, READY TO ROLL had pulled very hard and despite his efforts, it led by a considerable margin. He believed that the increase in distance from its previous start, allowed it to lead easily and it had not been his intention to ride in this manner.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Y Sakito, the rider of RAKAMA, placed second, against Jockey J Low (D’GREAT RISE) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference over the final 150M mark.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider of D’GREAT RISE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in over the final 100M and from the 25M, crowded RAKAMA (Y Sakito).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’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 23 December 2019 and to expire on 29 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

SUNDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding

[Course A: Following a track inspection by the Stipendiary Stewards and Track Manager under the provisions of MRA Rule 12(2)(a), it was determined that the distances of 1400M on the long course and 1200M on the short course (starting from the same position), will be approximately 20M shorter to ensure a stable starting point.]

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

Veterinary Surgeons:

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr Edwards Samuel.

RACE 1 (R1567) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (Approx) (LONG COURSE A)

MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) and LADY LIBERTY (R Rueven) were slow into stride.

In the early stages, SGFIFTY (AK Lim) raced wide. A post-race veterinary examination of SGFIFTY revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

TRINITY DRAGON (SU Lim) was inclined to lay outwards from the 700M, and drifted wide in the straight.

MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) shifted in between 300M and the 150M, causing MUSANG KING (S Anandan) to be steadied.

GOLD POWER (R Shafiq) carried MR CONNERY (App L De Souza) in marginally passing the 200M.

RACE 2 (R1568) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (Approx)  (LONG COURSE A)

The reins on ASIAN JET (R Rueven) had to be changed prior to this race. When questioned, Trainer P Lee advised that he was unaware of the restrictions at SLTC but was warned that he must use only reins with loops.

TWENTYSIXTWELVE (C Goon) veered outwards at the start, carrying MY GOODNESS (SU Lim) out onto WINNING TANGO (S Muniandy). Jockey C Goon was reminded of his obligations to straighten his mounts as quickly as possible.

LINCOLN CITY (O Chavez) was slow into stride and then steadied off the heels of SHANGHAI NIGHTS (HS Gill).

ORION (R Shafiq) raced wide in the early stages.

SWEET LODGE (S Anandan) was impeded near the 300M and had to be taken outwards to obtain a clear run and then shifted in near the 50M, crowding ORION. Jockey S Anandan was reprimanded for failing to straighten quickly.

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

When questioned as to why he was so far back. Jockey O Chavez (LINCOLN CITY) advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding in a rearward position and had found that LINCOLN CITY was disinterested in the race. He had pushed the gelding from the 1000M fearing that he was losing his position.

Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed his instructions and advised that LINCOLN CITY has never shown pace. He was of the opinion that the gelding is now better suited over a longer distance, and he would endeavour to find a suitable longer race.

When attempting to secure a passage, CALVADOS (R Shafiq) was impeded on several occasions when SHOQEET (O Chavez) shifted ground between the 300M and the 150M.

Passing the 100M when blocked, SACRED EMPIRE (R Rueven) was taken out and bumped D’GREAT TIMING (J Low) wide. Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for shifting at this stage and was advised that a repetition will lead to a suspension.

When questioned as to his riding tactics, Jockey J Low (D’GREAT TIMING) stated that he had been instructed to not use D’GREAT TIMING up in the early stages, and due to his big weight, he had been able to work into the race but found the pace slow from about the 700M and proceeded forward. Although making ground, he had been impeded in the straight.

RACE 5 (R1571) OPEN NOVICE (SW) – 1200M (Approx) (SHORT COURSE A)

Shortly after the start, MONEY & ME (App J Daniel) crowded ROOTER (R Shafiq) which lost ground.

After beginning quickly, ALFARES (S Muniandy) crossed with D’GREAT JOURNEY (AK Lim). RADICAL FORCE (HS Gill) and MONEY & ME, when steadying behind, buffeted. Jockey S Muniandy and Jockey AK Lim were reprimanded for crossing too quickly at this stage.

BURGUNDY HEIGHTS (Y Sakito) raced wide in the middle stages.

ROOTER was eased down in the straight. When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq stated that ROOTER had lost his action near the 700M, and was moving very badly over the final 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of ROOTER revealed no significant finding. ROOTER will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having performed poorly.

BIG BUS (C Goon) fly-jumped at the start.

TAIL SPIN (S Salee) raced wide in the middle stages. When questioned, Jockey S Salee advised that BIG BUS had kicked up on the inside and held him wide and he had been unable to proceed forward or to restrain behind BIG BUS. As such he was obliged to race wide to maintain his momentum.

The Stewards questioned Jockey SU Lim (ASTRO MAN) as to why he had restrained in the early stages, thereby allowing BAKUTEH (S Muniandy) an easy lead. He stated that he had been instructed to ride ASTRO MAN in a forward position and lead if able to do so easily. He had not wished to push ASTRO MAN when BAKUTEH had progressed on his outside and he steadied when crossed by that gelding.

The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim that they considered he had restrained ASTRO MAN too readily and he was expected in future to ride a more diligent race when presented opportunity to lead easily.

App L De Souza, the rider of HAPPY BOX SIX, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of HAPPY BOX SIX 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.

A post-race veterinary examination of MARTIN VJ revealed no significant finding.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that on straightening, FUSION POWER (J Low) shifted out, bumping PROVOCATEUR (S Salee) outwards which in turn interfered with METAGROSS (App L De Souza).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’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 16 December 2019 and to expire on 28 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

Jockey R Shafiq stated that KITA TEAMWORK was inclined to lay outwards mid-race and slipped slightly on straightening. Although he considered the mare was travelling well near the 300M. As soon as he had pushed KITA TEAMWORK and shorten his stride, he had therefore eased the mare down. A post-race veterinary examination of KITA TEAMWORK revealed no significant finding.

RACE 1 (R1545) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Due to a clerical error, the Stewards permitted the removal of blinkers from COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez). At the start, the tongue-tie on COMMODORE LINCOLN had to be refitted when it was ascertained to be loose.

ENCOSTA ZONE (Z Khairil) dwelt at the start, losing considerable ground in the early stages.

LIM’S BULLET (App A Zaimuddin) was slow into stride.

GOLD MOSA (App CK Khaw) was forced to race wide.

YES BOSSY (App J Daniel) became unbalanced near the 1050M and when racing fiercely, had to be continually restrained off the heels of SAYANG ME (AK Lim) between the 1000M and the 800M.

A post-race veterinary examination of YES BOSSY revealed no significant finding.

The Stewards inquired into App A Zaimuddin’s (LIM’S BULLET) ride in the straight. He stated that he had dropped his right rein when attempting to keep the gelding out and when gathering the rein, got his whip stuck under the breast-plate and entangled in the mane, placing him in considerable difficulty for approximately 100M. In assessing this incident, the Stewards referred App A Zaimuddin for specific training and he will not be permitted to accept rides until such training is fulfilled.

In the early stages, SORBETA (App L De Souza) raced fiercely and was buffeted when shifted in near the 1000M, making contact with FIRST PASSTHEPOST (App CK Khaw). The saddle on SORBETA slipped backwards at this stage, placing App L De Souza some difficulties.

Jockey C Goon (SONNY BILL) was questioned as to the reason he travelled wide on SONNY BILL throughout. He advised that SONNY BILL had over-raced and he had been unable to shift in until he had cleared THE JEWELLER (HS Gill) on his inside near the 700M.

App S Uzair (PREMIUM RUSH) was warned that he should desist the use of his whip forward of the saddle. He will be referred for training.

AMAZING ECLIPSE (O Chavez) and LIGHTNING HERO (KC Wong) were obliged to race wide in the middle stages.

SIEW YUK was inclined to lay inwards over the final 250M. Jockey S Anandan had to extricate the rein loop when it went over his head near the 100M. In assessing this, the Stewards advised Jockey S Anandan that this amounted to careless riding, however, reminded him of his obligation to ensure that he rode with safe equipment and properly prepared at all times.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that KING’S ORDER returned having cast its near hind plate.

HUSSONATOR (App L De Souza) was reluctant to race in the early stages and was taken wide on straightening. App L De Souza was advised to moderate the use of his whip.

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

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey KC Wong, the rider of NOT USUAL PRINCE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that passing the 350M, he shifted inwards to obtain clear running and caused EL TORDILLO (App A Zaimuddin) to be checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey KC Wong’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 9 December 2019 and to expire on 22 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 1 (R1517) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 4 December 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the running and handling of CONCORDE. Evidence was taken from Jockey AK Lim the rider of CONCORDE and Trainer S Siva, the representative of Trainer PS Kumaran, the Trainer of CONCORDE.

Jockey AK Lim stated that he had been unable to hold CONCORDE which was racing in Blinkers for the first time. He was unaware that he was so far in front but suggested that CONCORDE was travelling smoothly.

The Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey AK Lim should have made a more determined attempt to restrain CONCORDE and be more aware of the race pace, however considered that they could not substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules given CONCORDE’s racing history.

Trainer PS Kumaran will be advised that due to Jockey AK Lim’s admission that he could not adequately control CONCORDE, he will not be permitted to ride CONCORDE again in future.  CONCORDE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test with its specific gear before being declared to race again.

---

RACE 8 (R1524) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

App S Zulfikri, the rider of CONDADO, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, S Siva, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

1. He restrained CONDADO between the 900M and the 600M, thereby losing ground behind PLACE YOUR BET;
2. On straightening, inside the 600M mark, he sat quietly and failed to ride CONDADO in a positive manner;
3. His riding out of CONDADO, with a tight rein in your right hand did not satisfactorily allow CONDADO to progress properly.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Zulfikri’s previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. App S Zulfikri was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from 9 December 2019 and to expire on 8 February 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:37pm).

RACE 5 (R1521) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 4 December 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into an incident at the 700M in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockeys J De Souza and C Goon, the riders of RADICAL FORCE and ELITE GOLD respectively.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of RADICAL FORCE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he crossed in and caused ELITE GOLD to clip his horse’s heels causing that horse to blunder badly, dislodging Jockey C Goon, shortly after.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 9 December 2019 and to expire on 28 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the reasons for BIG BUS dislodging Jockey HS Gill shortly after the start.
