Trainer WC Lim and Jockey M Lukman appeared before the Panel and were questioned regarding the tactics adopted on the MEGA GEMS. In this regard, prior to the race, the Stewards were advised that this gelding was to race with cover, however, in the running, this gelding led. The Panel questioned Trainer WC Lim who explained that he was happy with the ride under the circumstances, as this gelding had jumped better this start than his previous runs and with the number of runners located on his inside, he accepted that Jockey M Lukman made the decision to allow his mount to stride forward. However, he explained that in the running, this horse which has the tendency to be aggressive when shown day light, took hold a bit and raced to the lead.

Jockey M Lukman was questioned regarding the riding and he confirmed the explanation of Trainer WC Lim. The Panel noted the explanations of both parties, however, advised them that in the event that they were seeking cover, particularly with a horse that has this behavioral tendency, stronger measures needed to be taken in order to at least comply with the instructions.
