Near the 1100M, NASSEB checked when tightened by LIMIT UP which had been tightened by METEOR LOUI (SU Lim). At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of METEOR LOUI, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that for shifting in at this stage.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 14 December 2020 and to expire on 26 December 2020, both dates inclusive. .
