RACE 1 (R533) CLASS 5 (B) – 1700M (A LONG COURSE)
1 MURDOCH
(App Clyde Leck) Rider warned related to his whip use in the early stages. *(See Report).

(S Ruzaini) Ridden wide in the early and middle stages, and taken wide in the straight. *(See Report).

(MM Firdaus) Slow into stride.
7 E SUPREME
(App WW Cheah) Withdrawn at 12:41pm: Lame off hind – 1000M/vet (3 weeks embargo).
9 IRON FIST
(J Low) Obliged to race wide near the 1000M.
App Clyde Leck was questioned regarding his whip use on MURDOCH in the early stages. He advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding vigourously as it was a lazy beginner and that his whip action was flicking in stride with the horse to attempt to get it to race in a forward competitive position. Whilst accepting this in part, the Stewards reminded App Clyde Leck that he must, at all stages, use his whip in a proper manner which is not considered as excessive.
When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini advised that APOLLO ROCK had raced fiercely and he had a line of three horses in advance of him. The pace had steadied quickly and the gelding had then commenced to race very fiercely and he had taken it out as a safety measure. He had then been trapped three wide until straightening where the gelding commenced to hang out badly. He also believed APOLLO ROCK to be “bad in its actions” and he had thus only ridden the horse for approximately 200M before finishing last. A post-race veterinary examination of APOLLO ROCK revealed that it returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, and thus will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test (3 weeks embargo) with a senior rider before being declared to race again.

6 SEVEN SUNDAE
(SU Lim) Raced wide in the early stages, was inclined to lay outwards near the 300M. When crowded, was carried inwards over the final 150M. *(See Report)

When questioned, Jockey SU Lim stated that he had been instructed to ride midfield, however, he had been caught four wide and had then gone forward to a leading position. On straightening, SEVEN SUNDAE had commenced to lay outwards and he had shifted his weight in an endeavour to straighten the gelding whilst riding it out vigourously. He became off balanced and shortly thereafter, hampered in his whip action when GUILTY PLEASURES shifted in, crowding him, he had then become awkwardly positioned and unable to fully utilize his whip in the right hand. The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim that he should ride in a consistent and proper manner at all times.
