The Stewards granted permission for Jockey HS Gill to replace Jockey S Salee as the rider of LEATHERHEAD as the latter was unable to make the carded weight. Jockey S Salee was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make carded weight. He was also advised that his weight was limited to 53 ½ kgs.
Between the 1200M and the 1100M, SAN ANDREAS (O Chavez) was squeezed, tightened for galloping room and inconvenienced for a number of occasions by REVOLUTION (C Perkins) which shifted in continually. This resulted in this gelding clipping heels, going amiss, striking the rail and dislodging Jockey O Chavez. Jockey O Chavez was examined by the Club Doctor who stood him down from his riding engagements for the remainder of the races today.
At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey C Perkins, the rider of REVOLUTION, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to SAN ANDREAS between the 1200M and the 1100M.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey C Perkin’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) race days with effect from 8 July 2024 and to expire on 21 July 2024, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
