Jockey J Low (HANDSOME BOY) was questioned as to why the gelding was not ridden in a forward position. He advised that he had requested for the gelding to be loaded last, however, this request was not acceded to but the horse’s tail was held by the barrier attendant. After jumping only fairly, he had been tightened for room and thereafter had been unable to obtain the forward position that he had wished for. HANDSOME BOY had commenced to race fiercely and had dipped significantly on straightening and again just prior to the winning post, Trainer HY Cheng was advised to report any findings to the Stewards. HANDSOME BOY was subject to a further veterinary examination before being permitted to race again.

When questioned regarding the performance of DOCTOR GINGER, Jockey HS Gill stated that the gelding was fractious in the stalls and after fly-jumping, was crowded and he had been unable to take up customary leading position, and the gelding had laid outwards considerably, racing wide from the 1000M until straightening. Although he had ridden the horse forward in the straight, it had failed to respond and he considered that the gelding was only suited when able to lead.

Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer advised that MR ALFONSO had failed to perform in three (3) recent outstation races, however, that the gelding had won when being ridden prominently and that it had raced in a trialled in a prominent position on the 15th of February 2022. He considered that MR ALFONSO did not relish travelling and was better suited by racing in KL but he had been restricted by suitability of races and distances, thus taking the horse outstation. The Stewards advised Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer that MR ALFONSO is expected to be ridden in a consistent manner in lead/handy and that consideration be given to restricting its starts to local racing.

He explained this being that he had used the whip only on a few occasions and had changed it to his left hand but it had become entangled with his reins. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards were conscious of the fact that LEO had been beaten 19 lengths and had lost considerable ground over the final 200M.
