GURNEY DRIVE, a course scratching as it had respiratory tract infection, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
DREAMS CAN BE REAL (M Yusri) stood and was slow to begin.
Jockey CC Foo, the rider of ALPHA MOLTRES, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at about the 200M-mark.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MACEO (App A Azizi) returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and having cast its near hind plate. MACEO will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
A post-race veterinary examination of TWILL GUY (F Yap) revealed no obvious abnormality.
At the conclusion of an Inquiry, after taking evidence from Trainer B Ng and Jockey F Yap, and reviewing the films, Jockey F Yap was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding TWILL GUY, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that TWILL GUY was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.
The particulars of the charge were that:
- having had a good jump from barrier 10 at the 1400M-mark, he took hold of his mount at approximately the 1200M-mark until the 400M-mark, restraining it;
- he raced unnecessarily wide on the turn; and
- from the 400M-mark to the finish, he again continually restrained his mount.
When deciding on the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, Jockey F Yap’s riding record and his points of mitigation. After considering the provisions of MRA Rule 44(8)(a), Jockey F Yap was disqualified from riding in races for a period of eighteen (18) months with effect from Sunday, 25th September 2022 and to expire on Sunday, 24th March 2024, both days inclusive. In addition, he was fined a sum of RM 30,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit Thirty Thousand). He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.50pm).
Trainer B Ng was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he condoned the ride of Jockey F Yap on TWILL GUY when the ride was clearly contentious. Trainer B Ng was fined a sum of RM10,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit Ten Thousand) and was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.55 pm).
