PERAK OCTOBER MEETING 2022

The report dated 13^th October 2022 (V22/153) from the Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics Laboratory stated that 32 coded urine and 34 sets of coded blood samples from the above- mentioned race meeting were received on 2^nd October 2022, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “33885” which revealed the presence of “Testosterone”. After decoding this sample number, it was established that the sample was reported to have been taken from the horse “FANTASTIC ECLIPSE” which won in Race 7 on 2^nd October 2022 at the Perak Turf Club October Meeting 2022.

Upon investigation, it was established that FANTASTIC ECLIPSE, trained by Trainer F Maynard, is a stallion and not a gelding. However, in the post-race urine collection form for FANTASTIC ECLIPSE on the day in question, the gender of FANSTASTIC ECLIPSE was erroneously stated as “gelding” instead of “stallion”.

Vide e-mail dated 20^th October 2022, Dr. Shri Kanth, Official Veterinary Surgeon of Selangor Turf Club confirmed that FANTASTIC ECLIPSE is a 7-year-old stallion and not a gelding. He further stated that the positive results to Testosterone is due to endogenous production of an intact male and as such, the analytical result should be considered negative in this case.

Taking into consideration the above circumstances, the Stewards were satisfied that the presence of Testosterone in urine sample coded “33885” was due to FANTASTIC ECLIPSE being a stallion and not a gelding and therefore took no further action on the matter.

After taking evidence from Trainer K Ananthen, the trainer of GOLD SKY TRILLION and App A Saran in the presence of his Employing Trainer, T Asogan and after reviewing the video. App A Saran was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding GOLD SKY TRILLION, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that GOLD SKY TRILLION was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The particulars of the charge were that:-

at about the 1100M-mark, he took his mount approximately 6 horses wide for no apparent reason;
he continued to race 5-6 horses wide around the turn and into the straight, covering unnecessary ground;
he entered the home straight wide and took hold of his mount in the straight, restraining it when it was running on strongly, finishing in second place, 1 length off the winner.

When deciding on the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, App A Saran’s riding record and his points of mitigation. After considering the provisions of MRA Rule 44(8)(a), App A Saran was disqualified from riding in races for a period of twelve (12) months with effect from Sunday, 9^th October 2022 and to expire on Sunday, 8^th October 2023, both days inclusive.

GENERAL REPORT(S)

PENANG JULY MEETING 2022, SATURDAY, 30^TH JULY 2022

At the conclusion of an Inquiry today (31^st July 2022), App AR Aiman, the rider of TRAVIS, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer B Ng, was found guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) punishable under MRA Rule 44(8)(a) for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that TRAVIS was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The details of the charge are that:

Having had a good jump, he shortly thereafter took hold of his mount and shifted out, crossing and interfering with D’GREAT MAGIC (AK Lim);

He then continued to restrain his mount, resulting in it being placed last from the 800M-mark until the 300M-mark which was contrary to instructions and resulting in his mount being unable to race to its best advantage;

(iii) He raced 3 wide on the turn and again took hold of his mount at the 300M-mark and thereafter when his mount was starting to run on, he shifted in behind other runners at the 100M-mark.

In assessing the penalty, the Stipendiary Stewards took into account App AR Aiman’s riding records and mitigating factors. He was disqualified from riding in races for a period of one (1) year with effect from Sunday, 31^st July 2022 and to expire on Sunday, 30^th July 2023, both dates inclusive.

As there was no suitable rider available, the Stewards permitted App Z Syafifie to replace Jockey S Zulfikri as the rider of PENANG GENERAL when the latter was medically stood down.

Acting on a report from the Official Starter that the stirrup iron holder on PENANG GENERAL broke, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 2.29 pm. Trainer C Robert and App Z Syafifie, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer K Ananthen, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 41(7) for using a faulty saddle on PENANG GENERAL, resulting in this horse having to be withdrawn. Trainer C Robert and App Z Syafifie were each fined RM500/- for using a faulty saddle on PENANG GENERAL.

MR DREYFUSS (App SN Shiva) collapsed shortly after the winning post and died. App SN Shiva was exempted from weighing in. He was checked by the Club Medical Officer and was passed fit to continue riding for the day.

The Stewards questioned Trainer CC Ooi and Jockey HS Gill with regards to the running and handling of TWILL GUY. After studying the video and hearing their explanations, the Stewards took no further action other than to warn Jockey HS Gill to ensure that he rides his horses in future so as to leave no room for query.
