At the conclusion of an Inquiry today (6^th May 2018) into the riding of D’GREAT DRAGON in the above race, further evidence was taken from Jockey F Yap and Trainer J Tan, the rider and the trainer of the gelding respectively.

Trainer J Tan explained that D’GREAT DRAGON had been showing nervous behavior in the barrier and he had applied winkers the first time on that day. Jockey F Yap stated that the Trainer had explained to him regarding the gelding’s nervous behavior and to be careful at the start. Jockey F Yap explained that despite being careful, D’GREAT DRAGON still threw its head up as the start was effected and jumped away awkwardly, resulting in him being slow into stride. At about the 1000M, he had to steady to avoid the heels of MULTI WEALTH which rolled in, placing his mount further back than he had anticipated. Jockey F Yap further explained that after the incident at the start and having to steady at the 1000M, he was unable to take a more forward position.

After taking note of the above explanations and reviewing the videos of the race, the Stewards took no further action in this matter,

GENERAL REPORT – SLTC

RACE 3 (R484) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 15 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 4 May 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of HAPPY DAYZ. Evidence was taken from Jockey HK Cheng and Trainer C Leck, the rider and Trainer of HAPPY DAYZ respectively.

Jockey HK Cheng stated that after jumping well, HAPPY DAYZ was difficult to settle in the early stages, and that he restrained the gelding approaching the 1000M until the 800M in an attempt to conserve his energy. However, HAPPY DAYZ continued to race keenly and gave no response to pressure in the straight.

Trainer C Leck stated that he was disappointed with the performance of HAPPY DAYZ, adding that the gelding displayed a poor temperament generally and was difficult to manage during trackwork. He had anticipated that a step up in distance to 1400M would be suitable, and explained that the performance in this race was so far below his expectations that he feared HAPPY DAYZ may have bled. However, a post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant finding.

Having heard their evidence, the Stewards warned Jockey HK Cheng that in future he must ride all his mounts in a positive manner so as to leave no room for query.
