RACE 7 (R593)         CLASS 4 (A) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE A)

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of TAN TAN, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as he was unable to claim.

ELITE CONQUEROR (C Goon) and MAREA NEGRO (S Anandan) were slow to begin.

TAN TAN (App A Zaimuddin) brushed the gate on jumping.

Shortly after the start, TAN TAN was crowded on the inside of RAJA MAHKOTA (App CK Khaw). TAN TAN then shifted inwards, bumping BRAVE MALALA (App J Daniel) which made heavy contact with HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza). App A Zaimuddin was shown the film of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

At the 900M, RAJA MAHKOTA had to be restrained when crossed by D’GREAT RICH (J Low). TAN TAN which was following, threw its head when being restrained, losing ground. BUENOS AIRES (R Shafiq) was also inconvenienced at this stage.

SUPER LINE (S Ruzaini), MAREA NEGRO and US DOLLAR (HK Cheng) raced wide in the middle stages.

TAN TAN which was beaten 22 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Jockey J Low, the rider of D’GREAT RICH, was reprimanded for failing to afford sufficient ground on the inside and had slowed the pace when proceeding to the lead.

An inquiry was held into App L De Souza’s ride on HARVEYWALLBANGER. Trainer R Lines advised the Stewards that he considered that the pace would be hectic and as such HARVEYWALLBANGER was to be ridden in midfield. He added that further, the gelding had won only once when leading but under different circumstances. He was of the opinion also that the 1100M of today’s race was shorter than the gelding’s best distance.

App L De Souza stated that he had received considerable pressure from outside runners shortly after the start which took him further back than anticipated. After riding the horse vigourously, it had made good ground but was unable to make up leeway caused by the early interference.

SHOQEET (KC Wong) was slow to begin.

FAALTLESS (App A Suriya) and AUD DOLLAR (HK Cheng) bumped at the 1100M.

Jockey KC Wong was questioned regarding his riding of SHOQEET and stated that the horse had been slow to begin and as its past form was over a distance, it showed no pace when making ground in the straight. He also stated that he was impeded when MR CROWE drifted out near the 200M and had to stop riding.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Y Aify, the rider of SECRET AGENT, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at the 300M, SECRET AGENT (Y Aify) shifted out causing PLATINUM LIFE (App J Daniel) to strike its heels and blundered. MR CROWE (S Salee) which was following, was inconvenienced.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Y Aify’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He subsequently was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 20 May 2019 and to expire on 26 May 2019, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of the suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:37pm).

Jockey S Ruzaini was questioned regarding the whip use of WHITE CHIN. At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of WHITE CHIN, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that his whip action had failed to satisfy the Stewards in that several attempts and projections of his whip use had not made contact with WHITE CHIN.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Ruzaini’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Jockey S Ruzaini was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 20 May 2019 and to expire on 19 June 2019, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of the suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (7:12pm).
