A race review was conducted into PACIFIC POWER (PH Seow).

In reviewing the incident of this horse, the Panel was of the view that this was a consequence of its own behavior and thereafter declared it a runner.

The Stewards, today, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GOLD EIGHTY-THREE. Evidence was taken from Jockey A Azizi and Trainer S Siva, the rider and trainer of GOLD EIGHTY-THREE respectively.

After reviewing the films of the incident and considering the evidence tendered, Jockey A Azizi pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey A Azizi’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 29 June 2026 and to expire on 28 July 2026, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
