RACE 2 (R871) CLASS 5(A) – 1300M
QIJI LOVE which was up 17kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.
As there was no suitable rider available, the Stewards permitted App Z Syafifie to replace Jockey S Zulfikri as the rider of PENANG GENERAL when the latter was medically stood down.
Acting on a report from the Official Starter that the stirrup iron holder on PENANG GENERAL broke, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 2.29 pm. Trainer C Robert and App Z Syafifie, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer K Ananthen, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 41(7) for using a faulty saddle on PENANG GENERAL, resulting in this horse having to be withdrawn. Trainer C Robert and App Z Syafifie were each fined RM500/- for using a faulty saddle on PENANG GENERAL.
MR DREYFUSS (App SN Shiva) collapsed shortly after the winning post and died. App SN Shiva was exempted from weighing in. He was checked by the Club Medical Officer and was passed fit to continue riding for the day.
The Stewards questioned Trainer CC Ooi and Jockey HS Gill with regards to the running and handling of TWILL GUY. After studying the video and hearing their explanations, the Stewards took no further action other than to warn Jockey HS Gill to ensure that he rides his horses in future so as to leave no room for query.
