RACE 1 (R1014) CLASS 5(A) – 1100M              

Emergency acceptor, GHOST AFFAIR was withdrawn due to a capacity field.

MISS MICHELLE (HS Gill) jumped awkwardly outwards, crowding CASTLE CHOICE    (App A Azizi).

At approximately the 200M-mark, Jockey S Saddam, the rider of LION CONQUEROR,

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of COME ON JIMMY, 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 whilst riding COME ON JIMMY, he failed to ride with sufficient vigour and determination and thereby failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.  When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account his guilty plea and the facts of this case, Jockey S Ruzaini’s points of mitigation and his riding record.   Jockey S Ruzaini was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months with effect from Monday, 20th December 2021 and to expire on Saturday, 19th March 2022, both days inclusive. In addition, Jockey S Ruzaini was fined a sum of RM10,000/- (Ringgit Malaysia Ten Thousand).   He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5.45pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S)

RACE 5 (R933)  CLASS 4(B) – 1300M, SATURDAY, 20TH NOVEMBER 2021

1ST DAY, PENANG NOVEMBER MEETING 2021 

The Stewards today (21st November 2021) concluded their Inquiry into the running and handling of KRATOS (App P Haris).  After taking further evidence from App P Haris in the presence of his Employing Master, Trainer HS Lim, and Trainer CC Ooi, the trainer of KRATOS, Senior Track Rider Razali bin Musa (witness for App P Haris) and reviewing the films, App P Haris was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a)  in that whilst riding KRATOS in the above race, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that KRATOS was given full opportunity of obtaining the best possible placing.

The particulars of the charge were that:- 

  • he sat against his horse at approximately the 500M for some distance; 

  • upon entering the straight, he had a strong hold of his horse with his right hand; 

  • from the 300M, he unbalanced KRATOS by bouncing up and down on his horse whilst continuing to restrain it; 

  • he feigned the use of his whip on several occasions in the straight. 

When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, App P Haris’s riding record and his points of mitigation.  After considering the provisions of MRA Rule 44(8)(a), App P Haris was disqualified for a period of one (1) year with immediate effect from Sunday, 21st November 2021 and to expire on Sunday, 20th November 2022, both days inclusive.  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5.45pm). 

Trainer CC Ooi was advised that the Stewards would inquire regarding his evidence at the above Inquiry at a date to be fixed.

An Inquiry was opened into the running and handling of CALVADOS in this race.   After taking evidence from Jockey Z Khairil and Trainer S Hamilton, the rider and trainer of CALVADOS respectively and reviewing the films, Jockey Z Khairil pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with 44(8)(a) in that he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that CALVADOS was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing. 

The particulars of the charge were:- 

  • That having jumped on terms from barrier 1 at the 1400M on CALVADOS,  he continually restrained his mount in the back straight; 
  • That at the 600M mark, he shifted out approximately 4 horses’ width when there was a clear run on the inside next to the rail behind AWATERE (KC Wong) thereby covering unnecessary ground.

When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, Jockey Z Khairil’s guilty plea, his riding record and points of mitigation.  Jockey Z Khairil was disqualified for a period of one (1) year with  effect from Sunday, 17th October 2021 and to expire on Sunday, 16th October 2022,  both days inclusive.  He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6.50pm).

RACE 1 (R436) CLASS 4(A) – 1700M             

MYSTICAL STAR (SS Vanan) was slow to begin.

ARIF (App AR Aiman) laid out racing to the 350M and brushed MYSTICAL STAR.

GUNFORHIRE (S Saddam) commenced to shift out from the 300M, resulting in ARIF changing course inwards for clear running.

Over the final stages of the race, ARIF laid out, resulting in GUNFORHIRE taking MYSTICAL STAR wider on the track.  Jockey SS Saddam was shown the vision of the incident and advised to exercise greater care in similar circumstances. 

Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by Jockey SS Vanan,  the rider of MYSTICAL STAR, placed second against ARIF (App AR Aiman), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference from the 350M. After considering the evidence and viewing the video, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.

1ST DAY,  PENANG TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2021

The Stewards questioned Trainer S Hamilton into the post-race sampling of the 3rd place getter, HARLEY FLAME (App AR Aiman) in the above race.  Trainer S Hamilton explained that HARLEY FLAME was difficult to provide a urine sample during the post-race urine collection process, and as the Syce attending the horse had to leave the holding area to attend to a personal emergency, she had to arrange for another stable syce to witness the post-race collection process of HARLEY FLAME.  Trainer S Hamilton’s attention was drawn to Clause 12(b) of the PNTC Official Programme pertaining to the matter that she is required to seek prior permission from the Chief Stipendiary Steward before changing the syce, failing which action may be taken.

SLTC GENERAL REPORT

RACE 8 (R372) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE) & RACE 9 (R373) SUPREME B – 1400M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 25 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021

The Stewards concluded their inquiries into the reasons for: STRAP MARKS in Race 8 and DESIRE SKY in Race 9 being late withdrawals on Sunday, 25 April 2021.

Trainer R Lines advised that his stable staff numbers and composition had been severely curtailed and changed due to a considerable number of personnel being isolated because of Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He had taken it upon himself not to attend the races.

With his non-attendance and reduced staff, this had resulted in a lack of personnel who would normally check all race day preparation details. He further advised of several personal issues that had compounded the problem of both horses not being presented to race.

In considering the elements of the case, the Stewards were satisfied that the unique circumstances due to Covid-19 SOP lockdown, had brought about the error and took no further action.

After consideration, the Racing Stewards acceded to his application and his deposit will be refunded. His suspension commenced on 5 May 2021 and to expire on 16 June 2021, both dates inclusive.
