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. It was established that the bridle of POWER EXPRESS flipped over when the horse put its head down as the start was effected, resulting in App SN Shiva swinging on the reins throughout the race, placing him at a severe disadvantage. 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.
