The Stewards, on 18 March 2021 at the SLTC, inquired into the performance of SPIN FIRE. Evidence was taken from Jockey C Goon and Trainer MW Teh, the rider and trainer of SPIN FIRE respectively. After considering the evidence tendered, Jockey C Goon 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 being:

He restrained SPIN FIRE for approximately seven (7) strides after the start when the gelding was leading, thereby allowing horses progressing from the outside to lead more easily.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey C Goon’s mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. The Stewards also took into consideration his relatively good record which showed that he had one previous conviction in 2011. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) weeks with immediate effect today, 18 March 2021 and to expire on 29 April 2021, both dates inclusive.
