Race 2 (R405) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
WINGED FOOT (App KC Wong) and MR EPIC (App CK Khaw) were both slow to begin.
At about the 300M, SATURDAY’S DELIGHT (App WK Lee) was crowded between CHARLIES MISSILE (App AK Lim) and AUSSIE EAGLE (F Yap), and became unbalanced when AUSSIE EAGLE shifted in and brushed him. App WK Lee reported that at this point, his saddle slipped backwards and he was unable to ride out the gelding with full vigour as a consequence.
WINGED FOOT was shifted inwards to obtain clear running approaching the 200M.

Race 3 (R406) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
Acting on veterinary advice that BULLISH LUCK (App S Uzair) was lame off fore, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 1:17pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again.
BOOSTER (J De Souza) jumped sharply inwards, bumping ITS ONLY MONEY (App CK Khaw) inwards onto BEAUTIFUL BABY (SU Lim) which was also taken inwards.
GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) was forced to check to avoid the heels of BEAUTIFUL BABY.
GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh), which suffered early interference, raced in rear throughout before making late progress. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh stated that GOOD DEAL had struggled to go with the early pace. He added that the gelding responded well to pressure in the straight, but by that stage the race had already got away from him. He further stated that GOOD DEAL is better suited by a longer distance than today’s 1200M race. Trainer SB Tan confirmed this when questioned.
Jockey M Ganeesh also reported that he was mindful of GOOD DEAL’s previous start in which it had begun slowly as per its normal racing pattern, and after being urged to close on the field, had finished the race disappointingly.
The Stewards noted that the first 600M of today’s race had been particularly slowly run and therefore it would likely have advantaged GOOD DEAL to race closer to the pace. They warned Jockey M Ganeesh to show better judgement of pace and greater initiative when riding GOOD DEAL in future in order to give the horse the best chance of achieving the best possible placing. A post-race veterinary examination of GOOD DEAL revealed no significant finding.

The State of Track was upgraded to “Good” after the running of this race.

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of SEGAR THE BEST, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of SEGAR THE BEST revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again.

Race 5 (R408) MAIDEN – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)
CONFOUND (J De Souza) was slow to begin and had to be urged to obtain a forward position.

Approaching the 1000M, SILVER MAN rolled inwards, causing SEMIFREDDO and FRASER (Y Aify) to be taken inwards. FRASER was crowded between SEMIFREDDO and NOVA GENERAL (App KC Wong) and, as a result, SEMIFREDDO lost its position. The Stewards showed Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of SILVER MAN, the vision of this incident and warned him to show greater awareness of runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.
ELEGANT DANCER (App AM Aizat) raced wide from the 600M. When questioned, App AM Aizat stated that he was concerned about crossing CONFOUND when insufficiently clear and had therefore opted to remain wide.
Approaching the 300M, SEMIFREDDO was briefly disappointed for a run on the heels of CONFOUND and was thereafter switched to the inside.
Inside the 100M, D’GREAT ELEGANCE laid inwards under pressure and had to be switched abruptly outwards to avoid the heels of CRESCENDO (S Ipek) in the closing stages.

HK DOLLAR (M Ganeesh) led for most of the race but then ran wide entering the straight and kept at one pace with the rider appearing to ride him out only intermittently. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported to the Stewards that his saddle slipped sideways at the jump and that he found himself unbalanced with limited control of the horse thereafter. He added that HK DOLLAR tended to lay outwards and that he was forced to check and correct that on several occasions in the straight as other horses began to pass him.
He further stated that in the last 100M, he felt that he had sufficient space to ride the horse out with his full vigour, but when he did so HK DOLLAR commenced to lay sharply outwards and he was again forced to check and correct to avoid bumping MEIZU on his outside.

At about the 200M, GERMANIC laid outwards under pressure, forcing the rider to ease and correct at about the 150M in order to avoid contact with SO ON (HK Cheng).
An inquiry into the running and handling of ARIEL (Lou Ho) will be held at a date to be fixed.
A post-race veterinary examination of HIGH TROJA revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3), and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

Race 10 (R413) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
SWEEPING CHANCE (SU Lim) attempted to break through the gates, reared violently as the barrier opened and dislodged its rider. After reviewing the vision of the incident, the Stewards deemed the gelding as a runner as Jockey SU Lim was mounted at the time the start was effected. SWEEPING CHANCE will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/Vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again.
