BLACK TAIPAN

(App H Haikal)

*(See Report).

The Stewards questioned Trainer HY Cheng and App H Haikal related to the riding of BLACK TAIPAN. Trainer HY Cheng advised that he instructed the gelding to be ridden in a rearward position, given that he was drawn wide and he did not wish for it to be trapped wide with the rail at 9M. He stated that the Apprentice’s ride was his normal standard that he was accustomed to and further that he accepted.

App H Haikal stated that he had ridden to instructions and had restrained early in an endeavour to position in the field and in the straight, had ridden with his normal vigour, however, BLACK TAIPAN had taken a bad step near the 200M and had thereafter tended to lay outwards and that returned to scales having cast its off fore plate.

Whilst accepting these explanations, App H Haikal was reprimanded for using insufficient vigour and advised that a repetition would lead to a charge being levelled.
