RACE 2 (R1335) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon) jumped awkwardly and commenced to race greenly in the first 400M.
IMMORTALITY (App S Zulfikri) was outpaced for the first half of the race.
Rounding the bend at about the 500M, GERMANIC (HS Gill) laid out around the bend causing RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN to be taken wide.
At about the 200M, RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN was disappointed for a run as D’GREAT ERA (App KC Wong) laid out slightly under pressure and thereafter RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN raced awkwardly and ungenerously, and was inclined to lay in behind other horses.
LIM’S ADMIRAL (App WK Lee) laid out when tiring in the last 200M.
At about the 150M, TRIPLE ONE STAR (J De Souza) was switched out to obtain clear running, causing AUD DOLLAR (H Bukhari) to be taken out. After taking evidence from Jockey J De Souza and reviewing the film of the incident, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey J De Souza and warned him that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.
The Stewards questioned Trainer SB Tan and Jockey H Bukhari, the Trainer and rider of AUD DOLLAR respectively, into the mare’s performance. In response to the observations that different tactics were employed today as compared to the 1st of October 2017 when AUD DOLLAR had led from the start and finished second, Trainer SB Tan replied that he felt the mare had run away with her Apprentice rider on that occasion. Jockey H Bukhari added that in his opinion, the mare was well suited to the racing pattern employed today, and would have finished closer but for interference in the straight. Trainer SB Tan stated that with hindsight, AUD DOLLAR would be better suited by racing over 1400M and that he would try to start her over that distance next time.
