Jockey M Ewe (LITTLE MERMAID) advised that the gelding had never been competitive and raced in a flat manner.

The Stewards inquired into Jockey KC Tham’s riding of BEIJING STAR. Evidence was taken from the rider and Trainer HY Cheng’s Assistant Trainer. Jockey KC Tham stated that the gelding had dwelt when the start was effected and he had lost considerable ground and had steadiedly made up ground to follow the field by the 750M. On straightening, he had allowed BEIJING STAR to become balanced before riding vigourously from near the 375M. A subsequent veterinary examination revealed that it was lame off fore.

After taking into consideration BEIJING STAR’s poor trial history whereby it had been referred for trials and failed on several occasions and the post-race veterinary reports, the Stewards considered they could not substantiate a charge against Jockey KC Tham under the Rules however, he was severely reprimanded for what they consider was a lack of vigour.

Trainer HY Cheng’s Assistant Trainer was advised that given BEIJING STAR’s history, it will be required to pass 2 (1000M/vet) tests before being declared to race again.

The Stewards questioned App S Uzair (FLYING BABY) and Trainer CC Ooi related to the riding of the gelding. It was established that FLYING BABY was ridden in a rearward position after being tightened by LEOPARD ECLIPSE shortly after the start and that the gelding had tended to lay outwards from the 800M. App S Uzair stated that he had purposely ridden with the whip in his non-preferred right hand as the gelding had hung out at its previous start. Further, FLYING BABY had again laid outwards in the straight and that he had attempted to straighten whilst riding with the whip in the right hand.

Whilst accepting this in part, the Stewards severely reprimanded App S Uzair for what they considered was a lack of vigour in trying to ride his horse out albeit when laying outwards.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2022, SLTC SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022

The Stewards addressed the issue of App S Shazmin’s proclivity to look around when winning in:

  1. Race 1 – D’GREAT DUCHESS

  2. Race 4 – LEO

  3. Race 7 – DIAMONDS

Whilst App S Shazmin had looked around to varying degrees in those races, the Stewards advised App S Shazmin that he must focus on the ride to the finish and resist the temptation to look around.

RACE 7 (R1139) CLASS 4 (A) – 1175M (II), SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022 

A subsequent veterinary examination of SORBETA (WK Lee) which finished distance, revealed no obvious abnormalities. Trainer R Lines advised that SORBETA had pulled up well, however, he was surprised at the poor performance given that the gelding had trialled well before the race. He also stated that it was his intention to effect a gear change and undertook to trial SORBETA before racing again.

RACE 9 (R1141) CLASS 4 (A) – 1775M (II), SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022 

Jockey R Rueven (RESURGENCE) lost his right side stirrup iron over the final 50M.

SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022 

The report dated 23 September 2022 (V22/142) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 4 coded urine samples from the above mentioned race meeting were received on 11 September 2022, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “J-4309” which revealed the presence of “pseudoephedrine”. *(See subsequent Report below)

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT CONCERNING URINE SAMPLE CODED “J-4309” WHICH WAS TAKEN ON 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB, WAS FOUND TO CONTAIN “PSEUDOEPHEDRINE” 

A report of Sample No. J-4309 confirmed the presence of pseudoephedrine. Upon decoding, it was ascertained that the sample had been taken from Jockey SU Lim. 

An inquiry into the finding was conducted on Sunday, 25 September 2022. Specific evidence was tendered by Jockey SU Lim that he had declared the use of a nasal decongestant prescribed by EE Clinic, on the Sample Card Declaration Form, for the sample taken on 10 September 2022 on which day he rode. 

The Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics Laboratory Testing Services Sdn. Bhd., Dr Chan Sue Hay confirmed that the prescribed medication declared contained the substance (pseudoephedrine) and the declared dose timing was consistent with the findings of the declared medication. 

The Stewards were satisfied that the presence of pseudoephedrine was as a result of this prescribed medication and took no direct action related to the reported sample.

As such, Jockey SU Lim was permitted to ride on 25 September 2022 and submitted a sample.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

TUESDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER 2022, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL 5

Jockey WK Lee (ROBBEN) was reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) for failing to straighten his mount, thereby crowding runners shortly after the start.

 WEDNESDAY, 21 SEPTEMBER 2022

 The Stewards, on 21 September 2022 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the reason THUNDERGOD was entered to race on 28 August 2022 when no “Clearing Sample” had been received, analysed and cleared following an inquiry into the presence of flunixin in its urine sample after racing on 24 July 2022.

 Trainer HY Cheng was subsequently fined RM1000/- for negligence in breaching MRA Rule 134(12) by entering THUNDERGOD to race on the 28th of August 2022, contrary to the provisions of that Rule.

 Further, a veterinary examination of THUNDERGOD ascertained that the vision of the gelding was not impaired in any way and it was subsequently cleared to race.

 RACE 4 (R1108) CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (C4 SHORT COURSE), SUNDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022

 The Stewards, on 21 September 2022 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into App I Fikri’s riding of BEAUTIFUL ONE over the concluding stages in the above race. Evidence was taken from App I Fikri, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, L Moy who is also the Trainer of BEAUTIFUL ONE.

 Trainer L Moy stated that it was intended that BEAUTIFUL ONE be ridden midfield but due to the slow early pace, was positioned just behind the leader. He was pleased that the gelding had performed well to finish third.

 App I Fikri advised that he had attempted to ride BEAUTIFUL ONE in a similar fashion to previous but advised that he had changed his whip style, which he considered was more effective.

 In accepting this evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that App I Fikri had ridden BEAUTIFUL ONE in a manner so as to be fully tested when finishing third, five (5) lengths ahead of the fourth place horse.

After being loaded, SAND BANK lunged at the barrier gate and broke through immediately prior to the start being effected, with the outside gate becoming dislodged. Subsequently, the Starter immediately effected the “False Start” mechanism and the field was recalled.

Given that numerous horses completed the course, after all runners were examined by the veterinary surgeon, it was deemed inappropriate to consider the re-running of the race

Under the provisions of MRA Rule 114(1), the Stewards deemed it was declared a “False Start” and the race was subsequently voided.

In light of this, SAND BANK will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

 It was established that NICATOR had been administered certain medication prior to this time which the Veterinary Department had no record and had not administered any furosemide to NICATOR, otherwise it would have been precluded from being presented for a trial testing.

 Subsequently, Trainer SY Lim pleaded guilty to charge under MRA Rule 135(7) in that he, as the trainer and person responsible for presenting NICATOR, to trial for 1000M/vet Test for Respiratory Distress on Tuesday, 23 August 2022, the subsequent Post-Trial/Test sample having detected in it furosemide, a prohibited substance.

 Further, Stable Supervisor Mohamd Saidi Bin Saini pleaded guilty to charge under MRA Rule 135(9) in that he was a party to NICATOR being presented for a Trial Testing with a prohibited substance, furosemide in its system.

 After considering the gravity of the offence and the impact on the integrity of Racing whereby a horse was presented to pass a test with a substance which could affect such test have been administered and detected, Stable Supervisor Mohamd Saidi was disqualified for a period of three (3) months with immediate effect.

 Further, given that NICATOR had subsequently failed its test on that day, despite being presented with furosemide, the Stewards banned NICATOR from racing for a period of three (3) months .

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

SATURDAY, 10 SEPTEMBER 2022 & SUNDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2022, SLTC SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022 

The Stewards reaffirmed the direction that Jockey R Rueven was not permitted to accept rides at any carded weight less than 54kgs.

 

RACE 6 (R1068) CLASS 4 (B) – 1250M (A LONG COURSE),          SATURDAY, 10 SEPTEMBER 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2022 

After taking evidence from Jockey HS Gill (WISHUPONASTAR) and the gelding’s Trainer, BT Lim, the Stewards found Jockey HS Gill guilty of a charge under 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being:

  1. He restrained the gelding on jumping, resulting in the gelding having to be ridden wide; and

  2. His whip use in the straight, lacked validity and was in contrast to usage on other occasions.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HS Gill’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 12 September 2022 and to expire on 11 December 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

REPORT OF ANALYSIS ON NON RACE-DAY SAMPLE: 

TUESDAY, 23 AUGUST 2022

SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL                                                                           

A report dated 1 September 2022 (NRD/V22/005) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 2 bottles of coded urine sample and 2 sets of coded blood samples from the above mentioned SLTC Official Barrier Trial were received on 28 August 2022, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “17044” which revealed the presence of “furosemide”. After decoding the sample number, it was established that this sample was reported to have been taken from the horse NICATOR, which was taken on Tuesday, 23 August 2022 at an SLTC Official Barrier Trial.

On 6 September 2022, Trainer SY Lim was advised of the contents of this report and his attention drawn to MRA Rule 134(12) which prohibits this horse from racing until it is cleared by the Stewards, and MRA Rule 137(1)/MRA Regulation 46.1 & 46.2 relating to the referee sample. An inquiry will be held at a date to be fixed.
