RACE 1 (R896) CLASS 5(B) – 1700M 

Trainer W Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to declare the use of blinkers on MIEJ (AK Lim) within the stipulated time. 

As there was no suitable jockey available, the Stewards permitted App SN Shiva to replace Jockey S Zulfikri as the rider of OVERSEER when the latter failed to arrive on course within the prescribed time as he was delayed due to heavy traffic.  Jockey S Zulfikri was advised that in future, he is to make adequate arrangement to arrive at the Turf Club on time, failing which he may be penalized.

Approaching the crossing at the 1600M-mark, CAPE LINCOLN (S Ruzaini) rolled inwards slightly, carrying JEFFREY (App M Ruvanesh) inwards, resulting in FIRST PASSTHEPOST (L De Souza) becoming crowded and having to steady.  Jockey S Ruzaini was shown the video of the incident and warned to exercise more care in future. 

Approaching the 600M-mark, SILVER SIXTYSIX (Y Aify) commenced to give ground and then at approximately the 400M-mark, became unbalanced and checked on the inside of CLOUD SHADOW (S Salee).

Post-race veterinary examinations of SILVER SIXTYSIX and JEFFREY revealed no obvious abnormality.  JEFFREY was impounded for further           veterinary and analytical examination.
