RACE 5 (R403) CLASS 4(B) – 1300M, SATURDAY, 8TH MAY 2021
1ST DAY, PENANG TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2021
The Stewards questioned Trainer S Hamilton into the post-race sampling of the 3rd place getter, HARLEY FLAME (App AR Aiman) in the above race. Trainer S Hamilton explained that HARLEY FLAME was difficult to provide a urine sample during the post-race urine collection process, and as the Syce attending the horse had to leave the holding area to attend to a personal emergency, she had to arrange for another stable syce to witness the post-race collection process of HARLEY FLAME. Trainer S Hamilton’s attention was drawn to Clause 12(b) of the PNTC Official Programme pertaining to the matter that she is required to seek prior permission from the Chief Stipendiary Steward before changing the syce, failing which action may be taken.
