GENERAL REPORT:

PERAK APRIL MEETING 2023, 2^nd DAY, SATURDAY, 15^TH APRIL 2023

RACE 4 (R407) CLASS 4(B) – 1300M(lc) CALLISTO HANDICAP

The Panel of Stewards concluded an Inquiry at the Perak Turf Club today, Saturday, 22^nd April 2023 into the running and handling of TAUBOSS in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of TAUBOSS and Trainer SY Lim, the trainer of TAUBOSS.

After considering all the evidence and reviewing the videos, Jockey SS Vanan, the rider of TAUBOSS was found guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding TAUBOSS in the above race, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that TAUBOSS was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing.

The particulars of the charge are that:

He failed to make sufficient effort to jump TAUBOSS on terms with the field, resulting in TAUBOSS missing the jump and losing considerable ground at the start;
From about the 1000M-mark to the 600M-mark, he did not make an attempt to improve to a midfield position as per his riding instruction when there was opportunity to do so;
From about the 600M-mark to the 400M-mark, he unnecessarily restrained TAUBOSS when there was an opportunity to improve his position, which was unreasonable to do so;
From about the 300M-mark, he failed to ride TAUBOSS with sufficient vigor and determination when his mount was running on strongly.

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into account Jockey SS Vanan’s disciplinary records and mitigating factors. Jockey SS Vanan was disqualified from riding in races for a period of one (1) year, with immediate effect, i.e. 22^nd April 2023 and to expire 21^st April 2024, both dates inclusive. In addition, Jockey SS Vanan was fined the sum of RM30,000/-. He was advised of his right of appeal (1.30pm)
