He further stated that COMMODORE LINCOLN had not responded to his urging mid-race or when ridden vigorously in the straight with the whip.

TUESDAY, 9 MARCH 2021, SLTC TRACKWORK

INQUIRY INTO A COMPLAINT BY HEAD OF SLTC APPRENTICE SCHOOL ALLEGING MISCONDUCT TOWARDS HIM PRIOR TO THE RUNNING OF RACE 6 (R006) ON 1 JANUARY 2021 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB
The Stewards inquired into a complaint by Mr Tai Lee Leong (LL Tai), the Head of SLTC Apprentice School, acting in the capacity of Paddock Steward, alleging threatening behavior towards him by Stable Supervisor Vijayaraj a/l Siva Kumar (SS.22), prior to the running of Race 6 on 1 January 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club.
Evidence was taken from Mr LL Tai (Head of Apprentice School), Mr Kamalavallo a/l Palianasamy (Paddock Steward), Trainer S Siva, Stable Supervisor Vijayaraj a/l Siva Kumar, Syce Thevindran a/l Siva Kumar (S.619) and Jockey S Zulfikri.
