STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT – THURSDAY, 31 JANUARY 2019

RACE 3 (R082) CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 19 JANUARY 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2019

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of BIG PARIS and took evidence from Jockey HS Gill and Trainer SY Lim, the rider and trainer of BIG PARIS respectively.

Trainer SY Lim stated that BIG PARIS, which is a maiden, tends to perform best when ridden handy. The gelding has also raced well when allowed to lead, but it is not essential that it does so.

Jockey HS Gill stated that BIG PARIS was never travelling with any fluency, and carried his head awkwardly under pressure in the middle stages. He added that BIG PARIS responded just fairly in the straight and was one-paced. The Stewards observed that in the last 400M, Jockey HS Gill appeared to ride in a manner different to his usual style. He seemed not to be in rhythm with his mount and was upright in the saddle, in companion to his riding in Races 2 and 9 on the same day.

Jockey HS Gill explained that BIG PARIS laid outwards in the last 400M and therefore he kept a tight grip of the left rein and shifted his weight inwards in response. This may have caused him to appear more upright than usual, and he admitted that he found it difficult to keep rhythm with the gelding whose response was, in any case, limited. He had reported to a Stipendiary Steward immediately after the race that BIG PARIS was not striding out well, but failed to mention the fact that it also laid outwards.

Having heard this evidence and viewed the vision of the race, the Stewards accepted Jockey HS Gill’s explanation but warned him that, in future, he must take care to comply with his responsibilities under MRA Rule 44(11) to report to the Stipendiary Stewards anything that may have affected the performance of his horse in the race.

TUESDAY, 29 JANUARY 2019, OFFICIAL BARRIER TEST

RAJA MAHESA which bled, will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of D’GREAT SWIFT. They took evidence from App CK Khaw, the rider of D’GREAT SWIFT, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines who is also the Trainer of D’GREAT SWIFT.

The particulars of the charge were that between the 1000M and the 650M, he made insufficient effort to improve D’GREAT SWIFT’s position.

In determining the penalty the Stewards took into consideration App CK Khaw’s mitigating factors, submissions on penalty and his riding record. The Stewards also took into consideration the evidence tendered by Mr TP Tang, the Owner of D’GREAT SWIFT and 50% part owner of JJ STAR, the winner of the race. Mr TP Tang assured the Stewards that he had expected both horses to run well and had bet on them in equal amounts. Bearing in mind that D’GREAT SWIFT and JJ STAR had finished first and second respectively in Race 11 (R029) on 6 January 2019, which was the last start for both horses, the Stewards found Mr TP Tang’s statement to be credible.

App CK Khaw was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 23 January 2019 and to expire on 22 February 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:45pm).

TUESDAY, 22 JANUARY 2019, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TEST

A post-trial veterinary examination of TH MAXIMS revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

SLTC STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT – THURSDAY, 24 JANUARY 2019

RACE 10 (R098) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 20 JANUARY 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2019

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of LUKE MAN in this race. They took evidence from App N Varmah and Trainer C Leck, who is also App Varmah’s Master Trainer.

Trainer C Leck stated that LUKE MAN, which was transferred to his training on 4^th December 2018, was unimpressive in trackwork and he had entered the gelding for an official Barrier Practice on 15^th January 2019 in an attempt to bring about improvement. App N Varmah was the rider in this barrier practice, in which LUKE MAN was unsettled in the gate, then showed early speed before apparently tiring from the 400M. With this in mind, Trainer C Leck decided to nominate App Varmah for the ride on 20^th January as he had some knowledge of the gelding’s temperament and racing style. He instructed App Varmah to relax LUKE MAN in the early stages and conserve energy in order to finish strongly, which he observed that the gelding had not been able to do when racing for his previous trainer.

App Varmah reported that LUKE MAN became fractious and agitated in the barrier, when the attendant holding him anticipated the start and released his grip before the gate opened. At this point, App Varmah shouted to the Starter to wait, and looked around to see if any other attendant was available to hold LUKE MAN’s tail which he felt would calm the gelding. As he did so, the start was effected and consequently, he was not fully ready and LUKE MAN reared inwards.

App Varmah stated that LUKE MAN raced fiercely in the early stages and took charge of him from about the 1000M, which resulted in the gelding running wide. He was then denied any opportunity to shift inwards and save ground due to the presence of SACRED EMPIRE (S Ruzaini) on his inside. In the straight, he attempted to comply with his instructions which were to commit to his full finishing effort at the 400M. He added that he was unable to ride with full vigour at this point as the saddle had slipped backwards, which he reported immediately post-race to a Stipendiary Steward.

Trainer C Leck stated that in hindsight, he had made a mistake in nominating App N Varmah to ride LUKE MAN. He believed that App N Varmah became tired in the closing stages as a result of fighting for control throughout the race. He assured the Stewards that he would nominate an experienced professional for LUKE MAN’s next start.

Having heard the evidence and reviewed the vision of the race, the Stewards advised Trainer C Leck that, due to concerns about App N Varmah’s current standard of riding and development as a jockey, they would not accept him to be nominated for rides at Selangor Turf Club until:

1. He has passed a riding assessment conducted by a Stipendiary Steward.

2. He has participated successfully in at least fifteen (15) barrier trials.

This condition will take effect immediately. Both parties were advised of their Right of Appeal (11.10am).

TRIPLE ONE D’GREAT had to be steadied racing to the 1000M to avoid the heels of KISS ME (AM Aizat).

Passing the 250M, GHOST BANK (C Goon) commenced to shift inwards, resulting in DARK EXPRESS (App CT Lee) having to be steadied. GHOST BANK then continued to shift in further, resulting in MULTI WEALTH (S Salee) having to be checked. KISS ME which was following, had to steady in this incident. Shortly thereafter, racing to the 100M, GHOST BANK shifted in when insufficiently clear of SUPER HARD (J Mallyon), resulting in that gelding having to be checked. After viewing the vision of the race, the Stewards accepted that Jockey C Goon had attempted to straighten his mount until the 100M and thereafter, he failed to prevent GHOST BANK from shifting inwards onto SUPER HARD on the rails.

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, Jockey C Goon, the rider of GHOST BANK, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that racing to the 100M, he allowed GHOST BANK to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of SUPER HARD, resulting in SUPER HARD having to check and lost ground.

Taking into consideration his previous riding record and mitigating factors, Jockey C Goon was suspended from riding in races for two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from Monday, 31^st December 2018 and to expire on Sunday, 6^th January 2019, both dates inclusive.
