MY TOUCH which was down 19kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

MY TOUCH (S Anandan) was slow to begin and Trainer M Sukri, the trainer of MY TOUCH was advised to improve the gelding’s barrier manners, failing which action may be taken in future.

Post-race veterinary examinations of ALIEN (App KC Wong), HANDSOME BOSS (App WK Lee), RISE UP THE RANK (J De Souza) revealed no obvious abnormality.

The Panel of Stewards questioned Trainer PK Leong, the trainer of DON’T FORGET THIS into the apparent improved performance today.

Trainer PK Leong was reminded of his obligations of the Rules regarding ‘in-and-out’ running under MRA Rule 117(3).

RACE 5 (R1169) METRO A – 1700M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 3 October 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry opened on 17 September 2017 into the running and handling of TRUSON which raced in last place until the home straight where it made modest late ground. Further evidence was taken from Jockey F Yap and Trainer S Cook, the rider and Trainer of TRUSON respectively. Jockey F Yap was assisted by Trainer WC Lim as an interpreter at this inquiry. Jockey Lou Ho was also called as a witness as he was previously TRUSON’s regular rider.

Trainer S Cook stated that TRUSON has a habit of over-racing and he therefore instructed Jockey F Yap to get the gelding settled with cover before making his effort in the straight.

Jockey F Yap stated that he was able to get TRUSON settled in last place early despite the gelding throwing his head up in response to being restrained. He further stated that the bit was not in full contact with TRUSON’s mount and that he feared that the gelding would run wide if asked to improve his position. For this reason, he felt unable to take an opportunity to improve on the inside at the 1200M or to make ground on the outside between the 1000M and the 700M resulting in TRUSON getting further back than ideal.

After considering the evidence tendered and reviewing the films, the Stewards decided not to lay a charge under the Rules of Racing. However, the Stewards warned Jockey F Yap that in future he would be expected to ride throughout the race in such a manner so as to leave no room for query regarding his commitment to ensuring that his mounts were well positioned.
