PANEL OF STEWARDS’ INQUIRY INTO THE RIDING AND HANDLING OF “SUPREME STAR”, RIDDEN BY JOCKEY TM WAN IN RACE 3 (R633) CLASS 5 – 1200m(lc) – 1952 SPORTING GESTURE HANDICAP – PERAK MAY (GOLD VASE) MEETING 2018 –  SATURDAY – 19th MAY 2018.

The Panel of Stewards concluded an Inquiry on Thursday, 24th May 2018 into the riding and handling of SUPREME STAR.  Evidence were taken from Jockey TM Wan, the rider of SUPREME STAR and Trainer PK Leong, the trainer of SUPREME STAR. 

After considering all the evidence and reviewing the videos, Jockey TM Wan, the rider of SUPREME STAR was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding SUPREME STAR in the above race, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that SUPREME STAR was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The particulars of the charge are:

  1. He failed to give SUPREME STAR sufficient rein on jumping, resulting in the horse throwing its head up and losing ground. 
  2. From shortly after the start, until about the 800M, he unnecessarily over-restrained SUPREME STAR and failed to let it stride out when it was reasonable to do so;
  3. From the 800M until entering the straight, he raced wide when it was reasonable and permissible to race closer to the rail;
  4. Inside the 400M, he shifted his body weight, resulting in SUPREME STAR becoming unbalanced.

When deciding on a penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into account the evidence of this case, Jockey TM Wan’s point of mitigation and his riding record.   Jockey TM Wan was disqualified for a period of eighteen (18) months with immediate effect from today, Thursday, 24th May 2018 and to expire on Saturday, 23rd November 2019, both dates inclusive.   In addition, he was also fined a sum of RM40,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit: Forty Thousand only.)   He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12.30pm).
