MOMENT OF JUSTICE (App S Shazmin) |
Slow into stride and passing the 200M, was held tight. The Stewards opened an inquiry into the apprentice’s ride on the gelding. Vet Inspection: No significant finding. *(See Report) |
Trainer EP Tan and App S Shazmin were questioned regarding the riding of MOMENT OF JUSTICE. Trainer EP Tan said that he had instructed the horse to be ridden from mid-to-back position as it was its normal racing pattern. App S Shazmin confirmed those instructions but advised the gelding had shown no response on his riding and niggling, and he had attempted to improve his riding mid-race. Further, he was impeded and unable to secure clear passage in the straight which compounded when a gap had closed at the 200M. He further stated that this was his normal level of vigour albeit that it had been curtailed due to being impeded in the straight. The Stewards advised App S Shazmin that they were dissatisfied with his level of vigour, however, giving the elements of the race, they did not believe they could substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules.
