GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 4 (R751) CLASS 4 (A) – 1500M (A LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 25 JUNE 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JUNE MEETING 2022
The Stewards, on Wednesday, 29 June 2022, concluded an inquiry into the fall of Jockey J Daniel from KENG MAK MAK at the 800M in the above race.
Jockey J Daniel confirmed that KENG MAK MAK was racing alone and unimpeded when flattering badly resulting in him being dislodged. AFALONHRO (App WW Cheah) which was following, collided with KENG MAK MAK and fell.
The Stewards attributed the incident to KENG MAK MAK breaking down at this point. The gelding was subsequently euthanized.
RACE 10 (R747) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (C4 LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 19 JUNE 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JUNE MEETING 2022
The Stewards, on Tuesday, 28 June 2022, inquired into Jockey KC Wong being dislodged from I LOVE YOU in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey KC Wong (I LOVE YOU) and App S Sia (MOONGATE FIVE), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines.
App S Sia, the rider of MOONGATE FIVE, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted out slightly across the heels of FOREVER AND EVER (App I Fikri) near the 800M and this move caused I LOVE YOU to clip his heels and blundered, thereby dislodging Jockey KC Wong.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Sia’s guilty plea, his current record and also the fact that the level of culpability was at the lower end despite the causative effect of a rider being dislodged. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 11 July 2022 and to expire on 24 July 2022, both dates inclusive, to be served cumulatively with any other penalty. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
FOLLOW-UP(S) – SATURDAY, 25 JUNE 2022
RACE 8 – FA FA STAR
Trainer S Deva Raj advised that FA FA STAR (8th) returned to the stables having pulled up well and was disappointed with the run. He further stated that he would have the gelding fully vetted and it was his intention to continue with FA FA STAR’s training regime.
FOLLOW-UP(S) – SUNDAY, 26 JUNE 2022
RACE 3 – JULIUS CAESAR
Trainer KF Coetzee reported that on returning to his stables, he considered JULIUS CAESAR (10th) had felt the effect of the firm track. Further that the gelding had won on a “Yielding” track at its previous start and on the straight course. It was his intention to monitor JULIUS CAESAR’s status and advise any issues, but JULIUS CAESAR would not start for at least three (3) weeks.
RACE 12 – THE JEWELLER
Trainer KF Coetzee reported that on returning to stables, THE JEWELLER had sustained an injury to its right eye. He advised that the injury would be treated and resolved before THE JEWELLER race again.
