At the conclusion of an Inquiry today, App P Haris, the rider of RAISE ME UP in the presence of his acting Trainer, Trainer PK Leong pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding RAISE ME UP over the final 200M, he shifted out under whip-riding, resulting in LUCK HAPPY (App SN Shiva) having to check at about the 100M and he continued to shift outwards and  bumped ALASAMO (App CT Lee) at the winning post.
