STATE OF TRACK: Yielding
Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:
Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).
RACE 1 (R247) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
PRINCE NANO (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.
CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.
SONG KID (App L De Souza) laid inwards under pressure from the 300M.
In the last 200M, SUPER GOOD (SU Lim) shifted out slightly under pressure causing LIM’S RANGER (HS Gill) to be taken out slightly in response.
Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SUPER GOOD, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(c)(i) for hitting his horse forward of the shoulder.
At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of LIM’S RANGER, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 950M in this race, he failed to allow sufficient space for horses on his inside resulting in FULL BET (M Zairi) being tightened and forced to check as SONG KID (App L De Souza) laid inwards in response to being crowded.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HS Gill’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 26 February 2018 and to expire on 4 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2pm).
RACE 2 (R248) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
HERECOMESMYMONEY (M Zairi) stood as the gates opened, then jumped slowly and was slow to find its stride.
RACING MAN (App S Saddam) jumped outwards and bumped CIVIL UNION (App AM Aizat) and lost its early position. Thereafter RACING MAN was outpaced at the half-way stage and became detached from the field before making late progress under pressure.
At about the 300M, SPEEDY WARRIOR (App WK Lee) was shifted out to obtain clear running but thereafter laid outwards and finished wide.
RACE 3 (R249) OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
CRESCENDO (S Ipek) and PENDRAGON PRINCESS (S Salee) bumped on jumping.
HAPPY DAYZ (App KC Wong) was slow to begin.
At about the 900M, PENDRAGON PRINCESS ran onto the heels of MAJOR IMPROVEMENT (R Woodworth) and the rider was forced to check.
At about the 600M, HAPPY DAYZ laid outwards and threw its head up when the rider attempted to take a narrow gap on the inside of TEH TARIK (M Ganeesh). HAPPY DAYZ forfeited ground as a result of this incident and thereafter raced in rear until making some progress under pressure from the 250M.
CRESCENDO laid out on the bend approaching the 400M and carried PENDRAGON PRINCESS slightly out.
PENDRAGON PRINCESS laid inwards under pressure between the 250M and the 100M.
In the last 200M, KING ROULETTE (S Anandan) compounded badly.
At about the 150M, LION CITY GOLD (App CK Khaw) shifted inwards in response to the whip.
At about the 100M, BIG PARIS (HS Gill) shifted outwards in response to slight contact from SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (S Ruzaini) on his inside.
App CK Khaw and Jockey M Ganeesh, the riders of LION CITY GOLD and TEH TARIK respectively, reported that their horses raced greenly. A post-race veterinary examination of LION CITY GOLD revealed no significant finding.

At about the 500M, JP REGIS (App S Uzair) was disappointed for a run on the heels of JANGO (J Mallyon) and ASTRO MAN (M Ganeesh). JP REGIS was switched outwards to obtain clear running at about the 300M but was unable to do so until shifted to the outside of JANGO at about the 100M.
At about the 400M, JUST DUIT was disappointed for a run on the heels of D’GREAT HAWK (App KC Wong) and had to be switched outwards to obtain clear running.
TWODOLLARMUPPET laid inwards under pressure approaching the 300M.
JANGO laid out under pressure at about the 200M.
At about the 175M, ASTRO MAN shifted out and around FLYING NEKO (R Woodworth) to obtain a clear passage and thereafter finished strongly despite apparent tender handling between the 150M and the 100M.

RACE 5 (R251) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) was slow to begin.
At about the 1100M, MAGICAL BANKER (I Saifudin) shifted inwards and bumped GOOD DEAL which commenced to lay in as a result of this incident. Jockey I Saifudin was reprimanded and warned that he should show greater awareness under similar circumstances in future.
EL CONDOR raced fiercely between the 1000M and the 800M, and compounded in the last 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of EL CONDOR revealed no significant finding. An inquiry into the running and handling of EL CONDOR (Lou Ho) will be held at a date to be fixed.
ITS ONLY MONEY (App AK Lim) was outpaced between the 1000M and the 600M.
At about the 800M, the saddle on STAR INVINCIBLE (App N Varmah) was observed to have slipped badly forward. App N Varmah thereafter pulled his horse to the outside in an attempt to pull-up for his own safety but was unable to do so and was dislodged after the winning post. The Stewards were unable to interview App N Varmah due to his injuries as he was subsequently taken to hospital for further observations. An inquiry into the condition of the tack used on STAR INVINCIBLE will be held at a date to be fixed.
GAZOO (App AM Aizat) was switched outwards at about the 250M to obtain clear running. An inquiry into the running and handling of GAZOO will be held at a date to be fixed.

At about the 400M, SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY (HS Gill) shied away from RIGHT TIMING (Lou Ho) which laid inwards under pressure, and bumped DROUGHT (J Mallyon) which became unbalanced as a consequence. SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY displayed a tendency to shift in away from the whip at about the 50M.
SRIKANDI (S Ipek) which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
RACE 9 (R255) CLASS 5 – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

FLYING AHEAD (App W Faizal) laid outwards under pressure in the last 100M.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of POLO MASTER, Trainer WC Lim reported to the Stewards that in his opinion, the gelding had been unsuited by the quick back-up having raced 6 days previously. A post-race veterinary examination of POLO MASTER revealed no significant finding.

RACE 10 (R256) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)
HAHA BABE (L Sofhan) was slow to find its stride.
At about the 1200M, RAINBOW STAR (App S Saddam) shifted inwards causing SATELLITE LEGEND (S Ruzaini) to be eased to avoid his heels and SEMIFREDDO (Y Aify), PHILIP (APP CK Khaw), GERMAN SPEED (App P Haris) and SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be crowded. As a result of this incident, PHILIP became unbalanced and EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) had to take evasive action to avoid his heels. In doing so, EMPEROR WARRIOR shifted inwards abruptly and brushed the rail. EMPEROR WARRIOR lost his position as a result.
At about the 250M, ELEGENT (App KC Wong) compounded and rolled inwards causing SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be eased off his heels.
GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 2 (R209) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A) – BEST OF LUCK STAKES, SATURDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018
The Stewards, on 24 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GHOST AFFAIR in the above race. Evidence was taken from App P Haris, the rider of GHOST AFFAIR, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim.
After reviewing the vision of the race and considering the evidence tendered, App P Haris pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:
- Between the 900M and the 600M, he made no attempt to make progress on the inside of LONESOME ME (App S Saddam) when he had the opportunity to do so, and therefore remained in a mid-to-back position when he had been instructed to ride the horse forward;
- At about the 600M, he restrained GHOST AFFAIR unnecessarily and forfeited up to two lengths which resulted in GHOST AFFAIR being placed further back in the field and further behind the leaders;
- Between the 400M and the 150M, having obtained a clear run on the outside, he failed to ride with his full vigour.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App P Haris’ guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from Monday, 26 February 2018 and to expire on 25 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:10pm).

The Stewards, on 24 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into an incident at about the 150M in the above race. Evidence was taken from App S Uzair, the rider of MARIO ATTILA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, and Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of NUMERO UNO. As a result, the Stewards reprimanded App S Uzair for allowing his mount to shift out under pressure at the 150M causing NUMERO UNO to be eased.
