(Course A – True Position)

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr James Yu.

RACE 1 (R1235) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GLORIA MARIS (S Ruzaini) bounded in the air at the start, losing ground. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that the mare had been fractious in proceeding to the start attempting to buck, and after fly-jumping, he believed that GLORIA MARIS had again attempted to buck. In the straight, although making some ground, he felt that the mare was resentful of racing, throwing its head and racing erratically. In light of this, Trainer SY Lim was advised that GLORIA MARIS will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/vet from the starting stall tests) before being declared to race again.

At the 625M, ANDRE (App WW Cheah) eased off the heels of COMMODORE LINCOLN (S Muniandy).

MACHUNG STAR (KC Wong) laid inwards over the final 200M.

RACE 2 (R1236) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

D’GREAT SONG (KC Wong) hung inwards on jumping, bumping FIGHTING WARRIOR (J Low).

BIG SUPER (S Anandan) and L’KEN (App R Nuqman) bumped at the start.

In the early stages, MAJOR GREEN (S Muniandy) raced wide. Jockey S Muniandy was questioned as to why he sat three (3) deep on the pace. He stated that he had been instructed to lead but had been unable to do so, and was reluctant to restrain MAJOR GREEN to attempt to take cover. In assessing his riding, the Stewards advised Jockey S Muniandy that in their opinion, he had erred in persisting in his attempt to lead.

IPOH DASH (C Goon) lost ground when steadying on the inside of BORN A FIGHTER (HS Gill) passing the 600M. When questioned, Jockey C Goon advised that IPOH DASH had a history of racing reluctantly but after jumping well, he had settled the gelding but it had been uncomfortable racing on the inside rail at the first turn, and it checked on its own accord near the 600M. He had thus recommended that the gelding be raced in head-gear in future.

L’KEN was blocked when attempting a run on the inside of BIG SUPER near the 300M.

FIGHTING WARRIOR laid outwards over the final stages.

Jockey KC Wong, the rider of D’GREAT SONG, reported that the saddle on his horse slipped backwards at the 1000M.

When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance of HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya), Trainer C Leck advised that his confidence level of the gelding had reasoned when it was considered that the track was in a “yielding” state, and although he had instructed App A Suriya to ride HIGH COUNCIL in a mid, settled position, he was happy with the boy’s initiative in allowing HIGH COUNCIL to settle from its wide barrier.
