GENERAL REPORT – PNTC

PENANG TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2024, SATURDAY, 27^TH JANUARY 2024 – RACE 1 (R098)

The Stewards concluded an investigation into POWER EXPRESS’s (App SN Shiva) bridle becoming adrift during the race.

The Stewards examined the bridle and it was not defective, however Trainer K Coetzee was advised to ensure that the gears on his runners are properly-fitted to avoid similar situation in future. No further action was taken.
