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.

At the conclusion of an Inquiry into the running and handling of LOOKS GOOD today, evidence were taken from Jockey S Saddam and Trainer KF Wong, the rider and the trainer of LOOKS GOOD respectively.

The particulars of the charge are that:

Having had a good jump and obtaining a mid-field position as instructed, he failed to follow his instructions from the 800M-mark to maintain and thereafter to improve his position as instructed, resulting in his mount being in the last position at the 600M-mark;

When deciding on a penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Saddam’s riding records and mitigating factors.
