RACE 1 (MRA 0172) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M
Trainer B Ng was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to confirm with Jockey S Salee before declaring him on MERRY BELL.
The Stewards ordered the withdrawal of MERRY BELL at 2.08 pm as there was no suitable rider available.
TWINKLE STAR (AM Aizat) brushed the inside gate on jumping and was slow to begin.
PENANG GENERAL (R Narendran) was slow into stride.
PENANG MAN (App N Shahronnizam) was hanging out in the latter stages and finished the race wide.
App SN Shiva, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, K Coetzee, was questioned as to why he switched out for a run at about the 400M-mark when there appeared to be room for him on the inside. He explained that he had been instructed to shift his horse to the outside at that stage of the race for his horse to obtain a run. This was confirmed by Trainer K Coetzee. The explanation was noted.

SUNNY STAR (R Narendran) was slow into stride.
A post-race veterinary examination of BOSSKU (AM Aizat) revealed no obvious abnormality. An Inquiry into the running and handling of BOSSKU will be held at 2.00pm on Monday, 26th February 2024 at the Perak Turf Club.
Trainer K Coetzee was questioned with regards to the improved performance of JAPAN CAPTAIN (App SN Shiva) today. He had no tangible explanation to offer except that JAPAN CAPTAIN was racing over its preferred distance, coupled with the good draw and the going. This, in his opinion, accounted for the improved performance. Trainer K Coetzee’s explanation was noted and his attention was drawn to the rules regarding “in-and-out” running (MRA Rule 117(3)).
