he failed to show sufficient vigour when he failed to use his whip in an endeavour to improve his position.
At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey A Nawawi, the rider of THE MILLIONAIRE, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in particular his vigour and he failed to use his whip, which in the opinion of the Stewards, he should have, to gain the best possible placing.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey A Nawawi’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of Jockey A Nawawi’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 2 April 2017 and to expire on 1 May 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:10pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 8 (R392) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017
The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the reasons why EASTERN TOWKAY (J Low) had to be severely checked by its rider at the 1000M. The Stewards took evidence from App M Hanif, the rider of KABALI, in the presence of his Master, Trainer LN Danis, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of ELF’S DREAM, and Jockey J Low, the rider of
EASTERN TOWKAY.
It was established that approaching the 1000M, EASTERN TOWKAY which had a tendency to over-race and shift outwards, made contact with KABALI which was racing on its outside on several occasions and as a result, was placed in restricted racing room and tightened on the running rail. It was also noted that ELF’S DREAM did have a tendency to

SLTC, Sunday, 26 March 2017
lay inwards at this stage which contributed to this incident, however, Jockey J De Souza did attempt to alleviate the pressure by turning his horse’s head outwards.
The Stewards, after viewing the official patrol film, could not blame any rider for this incident, however all riders were reminded of their obligations under similar circumstances in future.

RACE 6 (R390) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017
The Stewards questioned Jockey J Low into the tactics that were adopted on GOLIATH in particular why he shifted from a position 4-back on the rail to race 4 wide at the 1000M.
Jockey J Low reported that his instructions were to make sure the gelding raced in clear room as in its previous start, it did not perform and the stable was attempting to improve its performance by trying something different with the gelding. He further stated that he placed the gelding under pressure from the 800M, however, it failed to respond to his riding. He also informed the Stewards that he advised the connections and Trainer to delete the horse. The Stewards noted his comments for future reference.

RACE 8 (R392) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017
The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck into the improved performance of YOU DA ONE (D Chong). He stated that in his opinion, the gelding was suited by the “yielding” track conditions and the 1400M distance. He also was of the opinion that the gelding was given an opportunity of a “soft” lead sectional times in the race while racing in front and had kept him fresh, which may have contributed to the improved performance of the gelding. He also added that there was some support from the connections and stable.
The Stewards noted his comments for future reference and warned him in terms of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding inconsistent and unreliable running.
