TRINITY REVIVAL

(V Espindola)

Rider reprimanded for failing to ride out to the end of the race albeit that he maintained (short-head) its fourth position.

Jockey R Rueven (SING DARCI) was examined by the Club Doctor who subsequently stood him down from his riding engagement for the remainder of the races today, and was subsequently taken to the hospital for further observation.

After this race, Trainer M Sukri was questioned as to the procedure adopted in the unsaddling of FARDUS (Y Aify). He advised that FARDUS is a particularly fractious horse and his Syces had unsaddled the horse when on the move, and subsequently the equipment had ended up being discarded on the ground, in the absence of its rider, Jockey Y Aify.

Whilst the Stewards are aware of the horse’s manners, Trainer M Sukri was warned that he must ensure that his Syces exercised proper control and diligence when assisting a rider to unsaddle a horse, so as to ensure integrity of weight carried.

She further stated that in future, she would instruct TERMS OF REFERENCE to be ridden in a lead or forward manner.

Trainer SY Lim stated that he had instructed the gelding to be ridden in this fashion and was surprised when it had led so easily as the gelding did not possess gate speed.

Jockey SU Lim confirmed the instructions, however, stated that after jumping well, he had simply urged the gelding and in a very slow early pace, had found himself in the lead. He was also of the opinion that unlike some of his opponents, GALANT BLACK relished the “Yielding” nature of the track. Trainer SY Lim was advised that he was expected to instruct that GALLANT BLACK be ridden with the intention to lead in future given today’s performance.

Jockey S Uzair (THE SWAN) exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Panel of Stewards considered the application for a stay which was granted.

JOCKEY URINE SAMPLES:

31 DECEMBER 2022

SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2022

The report dated 6 January 2023 (V22/203) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 2 coded urine samples from the above mentioned race meeting were received on 1 January 2023, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “J-4341” which revealed the presence of “mitragynine”. After decoding the sample number, it was established that this sample was reported to have been taken from the then Apprentice S Uzair.

On 6 January 2023, (App) S Uzair was advised of the contents of this report and that he was stood down from riding in trackwork and races pending an inquiry in terms of MRA Rule 136(3)(b). He was also advised of the contents of MRA Rule 137 and MRA Regulation 46 relating to the Referee Sample. An inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.

RACE 8 (R1455) Class 5b – 1175M (II), SATURDAY, 31 DECEMBER 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2022

The Stewards reviewed the race history and record of APOLLO ROCK in Malaysia. It was noted that on 7 May 2022 and on 4 June 2022, APOLLO ROCK had “hung out”, “racing wide” and “drifted wide in the straight”, and had subsequently been referred back to trials on two (2) occasions; one (1) occasion with the services of a “senior rider”.

Further, there were six (6) other incidences and notations related to APOLLO ROCK having; “lay out”, “race fiercely” and “shift outwards quickly” in the horse’s Malaysian race record. As such, the Stewards considered APOLLO ROCK’s racing manners to be such that App WW Cheah’s ride was not at fault, however, Trainer R Lines was advised that he should engage a senior strong rider for future starts of the gelding. Further, should APOLLO ROCK raced in a tardy manner in future, that action would be taken against the gelding.

When questioned as to why he was riding GOLDEN SPRINT some distance behind the leaders, App WW Cheah explained that after shying out on the first turn, the gelding had been inclined to change leads and was not travelling well for some distance. He believed that it was unsuited by the nature of the track and was inclined to stumble when ridden forward.

Trainer KC Tiang stated that he instructed GOLDEN SPRINT to be ridden just behind the pace, however, was disappointed that it had been some distance behind the leading division, and he was of the opinion that it had made some ground in the straight.

In considering the matter, the Stewards advised App WW Cheah that he would be expected to ensure all his horses are properly positioned and ridden so as to be fully tested.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

POST RACE URINE: 26 NOVEMBER 2022

A report dated 1 December 2022 (V22/185) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 30 coded urine and 30 sets of coded blood samples from the above mentioned race meeting were received on 26 November 2022, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. No prohibited substances were detected except for sample coded “32429” which revealed the presence of “diclofenac”. After decoding the sample number, it was established that this sample was reported to have been taken from the horse “DOCTOR GINGER”, which finished first in Race 9 on Saturday, 26 November 2022 at the Selangor Turf Club November Meeting 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 related to this matter was conducted on Friday, 9 December 2022.

The Stewards conducted an inquiry into the above matter on Friday, 9 December 2022 at the Selangor Turf Club. Evidence was taken from Trainer SY Lim, the Trainer of DOCTOR GINGER, Dr Shri Kanth (Senior Veterinary Surgeon of SLTC) and Dr Chan Sue Hay (Chief Analyst of Usains Biomics).

After considering the evidence, the Stewards disqualified DOCTOR GINGER from the race under the provisions of MRA Rule 134(11) and the placings were amended:

1^st I AM BEAUTIFUL (App KH Chong)

2^nd HELLO BOSS (App S Uzair)

3^rd MAIDANZ BEAUTY (App Clyde Leck)

4^th MOONGATE (App WW Cheah)

Further, the inquiry was adjourned to a date to be fixed, to allow for the analysis of a confiscated topical preparation.
