RACE 1 (R573) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M
ALWRICH (KP Lim) jumped awkwardly inwards and bumped GOLDEN EMPIRE (S Saddam).
BIG POWER (HK Cheng) and MYSTICAL STAR (App P Haris) raced tight over the concluding stages.
Jockey R Rueven, the rider of CHERISH, reported that his mount was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of CHERISH revealed no obvious abnormality.
A post-race veterinary examination of MY AIM (App Z Syafifie) revealed no obvious abnormality.
At the conclusion of an Inquiry, Jockey K Eirwan, the rider of CAPE LINCOLN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that shortly after the start, he shifted inwards when insufficiently clear of MY AIM, resulting in MY AIM clipping its heels, stumbled and almost dislodging App Z Syafifie.
When deciding on the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey K Eirwan’s guilty plea and his riding record. Jockey K Eirwan was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) race days with effect from Sunday 28th May 2023 and to expire on Sunday, 18th June 2023, both days inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3.30 pm).

A post-race veterinary examination of READY TO ROCK revealed no obvious abnormality.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that UNDER OATH returned with multiple cuts on both hind legs.
Jockey KP Lim, the rider of READY TO ROCK, reported that he was hit in the face by a clod of mud at approximately the 400M-mark. This was verified by the Stewards. Jockey KP Lim was subsequently examined by the Club Medical Officer and was stood down for the remainder of the day.

LIM’S PIPER was slow into stride. Shortly thereafter, SUPREMO LEX (App P Haris) shifted outwards and bumped LIM’S PIPER.
Passing the 800M-mark, SECKILL (R Narendran) had to be steadied when crowded for room between ASIAN JET and SUPREMO LEX.
Passing the 350M-mark, SUREMO LEX laid out away from the whip and bumped DREAMS CAN BE REAL (Z Khairil).
