RACE 1 (R784)  CLASS 5 – 1400m(lc)

BLACK DIAMOND which was up 17kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

RED EASTERN (C Goon) was slow into stride and showed no early pace, despite being urged.

GRAND SHOW (Z Khairil) had to be steadied shortly after the start to avoid the heels of AMONGST THE STARS (App S Saddam).

CHINESE STREET (App AM Aizat) was difficult to settle in the early stages of the race and got its head up on several occasions.

BUTCH CASSIDY (App KC Wong) raced wide from the 800M to the 500M.

NASI LEMAK (M Ganeesh) had to be steadied racing to the 600M to avoid the heels of AMONGST THE STARS  which rolled in.

MONTE CARLO (App L De Souza) laid in racing to the 350M and bumped CHINESE STREET.

BUTCH CASSIDY rolled in racing to the 100M, resulting in RED EASTERN having to be steadied.

The saddle on CHINESE STREET slipped backward during the running and as a result, App AM Aizat was unable to ride the gelding out in his normal manner.

BLADEMEISTER (J Chuah) which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M & vet) before being declared to race again.

Post-race veterinary examinations of RED EASTERN, DUE HOME (J De Souza), BLADEMEISTER  and BUTCH CASSIDY revealed no obvious abnormality.

RACE 3 (R786) INITIATION (WFA)  – 1100m(str)

MONEY & ME which was down 16kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

GOOD PEOPLE (SU Lim) and TILSWORTH JOSHI (J De Souza) were both examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers and were passed fit to race.

PURPLE RAIN (App S Saddam) which was difficult to be loaded, was withdrawn by order of the Panel of Stewards at 3.00pm.   TILSWORTH JACOBI (App WK Lee) which was fractious, reared and got cast in the barrier, was taken out for veterinary examinations.  The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that TILSWORTH JACOBI had sustained a cut on its inside right forearm and as such, the Panel of Stewards ordered its withdrawal at 3.04pm.  Both these geldings will be required to re-qualify at an official ORT before being declared to race again. 

MONEY & ME (App S Hafis) was slow to begin.

Over the final 250M, GOOD PEOPLE shifted in away from the whip and at the same time, FOR FUN ONLY (App J Daniel) also shifted in.  Both these horses continued to shift ground until about the 100M when they brushed. Both riders, SU Lim and App J Daniel were advised that they should make a greater effort to stop and straighten their mounts in future.

Prior to the “All Clear” being given, an objection was lodged by jockey SU Lim, the rider of GOOD PEOPLE placed 2nd against FOR FUN ONLY (App J Daniel) being declared the winner on grounds of alleged interference at the 200M.   After considering all the evidence, the Panel of Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race.  The objection was dismissed and the Judges’ results stood. 

Post-race veterinary examinations of TILSWORTH JOSHI and PURPLE RAIN revealed no obvious abnormality.
