RACE 2 (R1045)       CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

                                    PERTH RACING TROPHY

Trainer R Lines was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on FRANCES.

TILSWORTH MALI (SU Lim) which cast its near hind plate, had to be reshod behind the barriers.

DIRAC (TK Barnabas) which was racing tight to the inside of SEE FOR YOURSELF (App S Saddam), had to be steadied and lost ground when SEE FOR YOURSELF rolled in away from GERMANIC (HS Gill).

POLO BOY (App AK Lim) raced wide from the 700M until entering the straight.

The Stewards questioned App M Hanif, the rider of SO THE THING, in the presence of his Master, Trainer LN Danis, and Trainer PS Kumaran, the Trainer of SO THE THING, into the reasons why the mare was slow to begin. App M Hanif stated that when the gates were released, he gave SO THE THING a good rein to jump but it threw its head up, and for several strides, the mare continued to throw its head and then he elected to ride forward and the mare commenced to over-race and raced fiercely. He added that racing to the 1200M, he had to check to avoid the heels of FRANCES (App L De Souza) and shifted ground. He further stated that SO THE THING continued to pull and was very difficult to ride until entering the straight and when placed under pressure at the 400M, it failed to respond to his riding.

Trainer PS Kumaran confirmed the instructions were to be handy and this was confirmed from the Trainer’s Instruction Form. App M Hanif reported after the race that SO THE THING was sore. A post-race veterinary examination of SO THE THING revealed no significant finding. The mare was impounded. The Stewards adjourned the inquiry to a date to be fixed.

The Stewards questioned App S Uzair, the rider of BIRRALEE ROAD, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy. App S Uzair explained that over the final 200M, as BIRRALEE ROAD was responding well with his hands and heels, he elected not to use the whip. The Stewards noted his explanation.

The Stewards questioned Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of ITS ONLY MONEY, into his vigour in the straight from about the 400M to the 200M. He was shown the vision of the race and was warned to ride all his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query and that he should ride with sufficient vigour throughout the race.

Racing to the 300M, IMPEL (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in to obtain a clear run.

Racing to the 100M, IMPEL shifted out across the heels of BIG ROLE (App S Saddam) for clear running and as a result, THESE STREETS had to be steadied. App A Zaimuddin, the rider of IMPEL, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim, was shown the vision of the race and was warned that in future he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.
