SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2024

SUNDAY, 8 DECEMBER 2024

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Course A4 & Track II

Panel of Stewards:

2 Members of the Panel selected by the Committee

Mr Deanthan Moodley (Chief Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Mukkesh Nair Murli Haran (Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Desmond Tan Wai Yuan (Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R1100)       CLASS 5A – 1020M (Track II)

1	GOLD MEDAL ROSE (CK Khaw)	Carried out at the 700M and raced wide throughout. Hung in in the straight.

3	DIAZ (Z Khairil)	Stumbled at the 700M. *(See Report)
4	THUNDERSTORM (L De Souza)	Tightened and became momentarily inconvenienced at the 700M. Hung in in the straight. *(See Objection)
5	BORN TO WIN (AK Lim)	Slow to begin. Eased and shifted out at the 700M. Raced wide in the middle stages.
6	ROYAL COMMANDER (TH Koh)	Momentarily inconvenienced at the 700M. Shifted out to continue its run at the 350M.
7	FAMOUS NAME (HS Gill)	Eased at the 650M and raced wide in the middle stages.
8	NIMBUS COURAGE (App A Nazir)	Eased at the 700M. An inquiry into the incident at the 700M will be held at a date to be fixed. Vet inspection: Lame off fore – 1000M/Vet (2 weeks embargo)
9	CHIEF OF ARMY (KC Tham)	Slow into stride. Shifted out in the concluding stages.

Leaving the 800M, THUNDERSTORM had to be eased when awkwardly placed on the inside of NIMBUS COURAGE and PACIFIC DELIGHT.

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by the Mr. L Moy, the Trainer of the second placed horse THUNDERSTORM against the winner PACIFIC DELIGHT, on the grounds of interference at approximately the 800M.

After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that but for the above incident, THUNDERSTORM would have finished ahead of PACIFIC DELIGHT, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.

The Stewards, today, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of DIAZ. Evidence was taken from Jockey Z Khairil and Trainer NM Selvan, the rider and trainer of DIAZ respectively.

After reviewing the films of the incident and considering the evidence tendered, Jockey Z Khairil was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that despite his mount obtaining an advantage in the field from about the 900M to the 750M, he unreasonably restrained his mount despite having the opportunity to hold in his position on the rail, which restraint ultimately resulting in DIAZ becoming awkwardly placed, stumbling, having to ease and lose a significant distance in the running.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Z Khairil’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months with effect from 9 December 2024 and to expire on 8 March 2025, both dates inclusive. He was also fined RM10,000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 5 (R1006) CLASS 4A – 1100M (SC A6), SATURDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SATURDAY MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Tuesday, 12 November 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of BINTANG SIXTY-ONE. Evidence was taken from Jockey SU Lim and Trainer C Leck, the rider and trainer of BINTANG SIXTY-ONE respectively.

The Stewards reviewed the films of the incident and considered the evidence tendered. Jockey SU Lim was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that on 26 October 2024 in Race 5 run at the Selangor Turf Club, he failed to ride BINTANG SIXTY-ONE to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that his riding in this race was lacking in vigour and determination and passive, with the manner of his riding amounting to not only an unjustified variation of his normal standard of riding but was of a standard which was below expectation of a rider in such a position.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of 2 months with immediate effect from 18 November 2024 and to expire on 17 January 2025, both dates inclusive, to be served consecutively with any other penalty. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey R Shafiq, the rider of the second placed horse, SURFING CLOUD, against the winner, RED DRAGONFLY (CK Khaw) on the grounds of interference and intimidation at approximately the 200M mark.  

After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered the distance between the runners at the finish (3.25 lengths) and that at the point of the interference, RED DRAGONFLY which had run on from behind SURFING CLOUD, had already raced passed SURFING CLOUD by an extending 0.5 length.

Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that but for the above incident, SURFING CLOUD would have finished ahead of RED DRAGONFLY, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand. Jockey R Shafiq was fined RM2000/- under MRA Rule 122(3) for lodging an objection being deemed by the Stewards to be frivolous.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey CK Khaw, the rider of RED DRAGONFLY, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding RED DRAGONFLY, he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to SURFING CLOUD at approximately the 200M.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App K Pavinthran, the rider of PERFECT BRANDZ, in the presence of B Trainer Logan Lek, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) for failing to ride to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards.
