An Inquiry was opened into the running and handling of CALVADOS in this race. After taking evidence from Jockey Z Khairil and Trainer S Hamilton, the rider and trainer of CALVADOS respectively and reviewing the films, Jockey Z Khairil pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with 44(8)(a) in that he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that CALVADOS was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.
The particulars of the charge were:-
- That having jumped on terms from barrier 1 at the 1400M on CALVADOS, he continually restrained his mount in the back straight;
- That at the 600M mark, he shifted out approximately 4 horses’ width when there was a clear run on the inside next to the rail behind AWATERE (KC Wong) thereby covering unnecessary ground.
When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, Jockey Z Khairil’s guilty plea, his riding record and points of mitigation. Jockey Z Khairil was disqualified for a period of one (1) year with effect from Sunday, 17th October 2021 and to expire on Sunday, 16th October 2022, both days inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.50pm).
