GENERAL REPORT – PRTC
PANEL OF STEWARDS’ INQUIRY INTO THE RIDING OF “EMPIRE BAY”, RIDDEN BY APPRENTICE JOCKEY KC THAM IN RACE 8 (R291) CLASS 5 – 1200M(lc), FIRST SEAL HANDICAP, SUNDAY 4TH MARCH 2018, PERAK TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2018
The Panel of Stewards concluded an inquiry into the above matter today, Wednesday, 14th March 2018 at Perak Turf Club.
Evidence were taken from App KC Tham, the rider of EMPIRE BAY in the presence of his master Trainer PK Leong and Trainer Peter Lee, the trainer of EMPIRE BAY and Mr. Sangkar A/L Subermaniam, a PRTC track staff.
After reviewing all angles of the race and considering all evidence, App KC Tham was found guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride EMPIRE BAY to the satisfaction of the Stewards.
The particulars of the charge are that:-
- after a good jump, he restrained EMPIRE BAY from a forward position and lost ground and was unable to carry out the trainer’s instruction;
- from the 1000M to the 800M, he showed insufficient purpose and vigour to improve and lost further ground.
When deciding on a penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into account App KC Tham’s riding record and mitigating factors. App KC Tham was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with immediate effect from today, Wednesday, 14th March 2018 and to expire on Friday, 13th July 2018, both dates inclusive. In addition, he was fined the sum of RM20,000/= (Malaysian Ringgit Twenty Thousand only). He was advised of his right of appeal (1.15pm).
