SLTC GENERAL REPORT
RACE 8 (R372) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE) & RACE 9 (R373) SUPREME B – 1400M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 25 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021
The Stewards concluded their inquiries into the reasons for: STRAP MARKS in Race 8 and DESIRE SKY in Race 9 being late withdrawals on Sunday, 25 April 2021.
Trainer R Lines advised that his stable staff numbers and composition had been severely curtailed and changed due to a considerable number of personnel being isolated because of Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He had taken it upon himself not to attend the races.
With his non-attendance and reduced staff, this had resulted in a lack of personnel who would normally check all race day preparation details. He further advised of several personal issues that had compounded the problem of both horses not being presented to race.
In considering the elements of the case, the Stewards were satisfied that the unique circumstances due to Covid-19 SOP lockdown, had brought about the error and took no further action.
WITHDRAWAL OF APPEAL BY JOCKEY CALVIN GOON (C GOON) AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF SIX (6) WEEKS FOR CONTRAVENTION OF MRA RULE 44(10) IMPOSED BY THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH HIS RIDING OF RACEHORSE “SPIN FIRE” IN RACE 11 (R183) ON SUNDAY, 14 MARCH 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2021
