11 |
ANSU (App R Nuqman) |
Taken outwards when impeded near the 200M, carrying 2 runners wide. *(See Report) |
The Stewards inquired as to the reason why FORSA ECLIPSE had not led. Trainer F Maynard advised that he had instructed that FORSA ECLIPSE to be ridden in a forward manner but not to be locked in a speed battle. He was very satisfied that App A Nazir had been able to get the gelding to settle early in the race and be in a positon of following the leader. Also it had been taken outwards on straightening but had failed to run on. App A Nazir confirmed the instructions and advised that FORSA ECLIPSE had settled for him easily and he was comfortable with the positioning and the fact that the gelding was travelling well within close proximity of the lead. The Stewards noted the explanations.
On inquiry, App R Nuqman (ANSU), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he continued to ride his mount out when shifting outwards from the 200M, causing SELANGOR STAR to be carried outwards and TOP GUN to be carried outwards and clipping the heels of TRINITY GRACE, thereby dipping.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App R Nuqman’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 27 March 2023 and to expire on 8 April 2023, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
