 RACE 1 (R525) CLASS 5(B) – 1300M

 MR DREYFUSS and HOOGA NET, both course scratching as they had sustained cellulitis near fore cannon and was knocked off fore foot respectively, will each be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Emergency acceptor, ROBBEN was withdrawn due to a capacity field.              

MAJESTY WARRIOR (KC Tham) which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

A post-race veterinary examination of DARCI SUPER (S Salee) revealed no obvious abnormality.

At the conclusion of an Inquiry into the running and handling of HEART FEELING and after taking evidence from Jockey R Narendran and Trainer T Asogan, the rider and trainer of HEART FEELING respectively and reviewing the video, Jockey R Narendran pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.  The details of the charge were that he failed to give sufficient rein to HEART FEELING on jumping, resulting in the mare being unable to race to its best advantage.   

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into account Jockey R Narendran’s guilty plea, his riding record and mitigating factors.  Jockey R Narendran was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months effective from Monday, 2nd May 2022 and to expire on Tuesday, 1st November 2022, both days inclusive.  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5.10pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S)

INQUIRY CONCERNING URINE SAMPLE CODED J-6393 WHICH WAS TAKEN FROM APP AB RIDUAN ON 29th JANUARY 2022 AT THE PENANG TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2022 AND RETURNED POSITIVE TO “MITRAGYNINE”  WHICH IS A PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE IN TERMS OF THE MRA RULES 

The Stewards today (27th February 2022) concluded an Inquiry into the above matter.  Evidence was taken from App AB Riduan in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr HY Cheng, Dr Chan Sue Hay, Chief Analyst of USains Biomics Laboratory and Mr Jason Tan from Usains Biomics Laboratory. 

App AB Riduan pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 136(3)(b) and the particulars of the charge were that a urine sample coded J-6393, submitted by him on 29th January 2022 at the Penang Turf Club January Meeting 2022, upon analysis, revealed the presence of “Mitragynine”, which is a prohibited substance under the MRA Rules. 

In deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account his guilty plea, the nature and the seriousness of the prohibited substance and the fact that it is his second offence within 12 months for the same prohibited substance.  App AB Riduan was disqualified for a period of  one (1) year backdated to Saturday, 29th January 2022, which is the date when he was stood down from riding and to expire on Saturday, 28th January 2023, both days inclusive.  He was informed of his Right of Appeal (10.50 am). 

App AB Riduan was informed that he would be required to provide a clear urine sample for analysis before resuming riding. 

App AB Riduan, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr HY Cheng further pleaded guilty to 2 other charges under MRA Rule 152(3)(a) and MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that at approximately 12.30 pm on 29th January 2022 at the designated urine collection area within the Penang Turf Club, he falsely informed the Stipendiary Steward on duty that he did not have anything concealed in his clothing when in fact and known to him, he had concealed in his under clothing a plastic bottle containing urine which he had brought with him with an intention to substitute the urine in the concealed plastic bottle for his urine sample that had been expressly requested for analysis.  In so doing, App AB Riduan committed a breach of MRA Rule 152(3)(a) in that he had acted in a manner which in the opinion of the Stewards is prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct or reputation of horse racing in Malaysia.  App AB Riduan also committed a breach of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he had misconducted himself on the race course.  

In deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account his guilty plea, the seriousness of the offence, and his mitigating factors.  App AB Riduan was disqualified for a period of one (1) year for each offence, the penalties are to run concurrently.  The disqualification will take effect from Sunday, 29th January 2023 and to expire on Sunday, 28th January 2024, both days inclusive.  He was informed of his Right of Appeal (10.50 am).

App A Nazir, the rider of NEVERUNCONDITIONAL, reported that his mount was making abnormal respiratory noises.  A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed no obvious abnormality.

Trainer HY Cheng was questioned with regards to the improved performance of DESTINY CHILD (SU Lim) today.  He explained that on 2nd February 2022, DESTINY CHILD was very fractious behind and in the barriers and it did not like the kick-back on the day.  Furthermore, he was surprised at today’s result.  The Stewards noted his explanation and his attention was drawn to the rules regarding “in-and-out” running (MRA Rule 117(3)).

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, App A Azizi, the rider of BAGHDAD, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr T Asogan, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were: 

  • that he failed to make any serious attempt to ride BAGHDAD to his instructions which were to be midfield; 

  • that he failed to improve his position between the 1200M-mark and the 400M-mark when there was opportunity to do so. 

When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account the facts of this case, App A Azizi’s points of mitigation and his riding record.  App A Azizi was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from Sunday, 13th February 2022 and to expire on             Sunday, 12th June 2022, both days inclusive. In addition, he was fined a sum of RM10,000/- (Ringgit Malaysia Ten Thousand).  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.45pm).

RACE 1 (R136) CLASS 5(B) – 1700M 

CAPE LINCOLN which was up 18kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

CROWN DELIGHT (CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

GOLDEN EMPIRE (S Saddam) and MERMAID (S Rosmizan) were slow into stride.

A post-race veterinary examination of GOLDEN EMPIRE revealed no obvious abnormality. 

Trainer S Cook was questioned regarding the improved performance of SUCCESS STREET (AM Aizat).  He stated that the gelding appreciated the good track today.   His explanation was noted.   

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, Jockey HK Cheng, the rider of GOLDEN CRAFTSMAN, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that: 

  • after having had a good jump at the 1700M, he took hold of his mount from approximately the 1500M-mark to the 1000M-mark and unnecessarily restrained his mount, resulting in it losing its position and placing it where it could not race to its best advantage; 

  • he shifted out at approximately the 700M-mark when there was a clear run ahead of him.

When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account the facts of this case, Jockey HK Cheng’s points of mitigation and his riding record.  Jockey HK Cheng was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from Monday, 31st January 2022 and to expire on Monday, 30th May 2022, both days inclusive. In addition, he was fined a sum of RM10,000/- (Ringgit Malaysia Ten Thousand).  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.10pm).
