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.

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:

Race 1 – D’GREAT DUCHESS
Race 4 – LEO
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.

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.

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 28^th 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.

The Stewards questioned Jockeys HS Gill (MONDAY) and KP Lim (BIG G) relating to contact made over the final 200M. Jockey HS Gill stated that he had been crowded from his outside after having made initial contact with BIG G and when cramped for room when using his whip, he believed that BIG G was attempting to savage his horse. As such, he had extended his right arm and fended the gelding off. Although accepting this explanation, the Stewards reminded Jockey HS Gill of his obligation and entitlement related to not interfering with any other runner.

The Stewards inquired into Jockey KP Lim’s riding of BIG G in this race. Evidence was taken from Jockey KP Lim and Trainer SY Lim, the rider and trainer of BIG G respectively.

The Stewards considered the evidence tendered and also reviewed the films of BIG G. Jockey KP Lim pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that the manner in which he failed to exercise any vigour and failed to pull his horse out when in contact with MONDAY (HS Gill) over the final 150M.

The Stewards took into consideration Jockey KP Lim’s guilty plea, riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. Further, the Stewards considered that the contact made and maintained by MONDAY having shifted out, was a mitigating circumstance. Subsequently, he was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months with effect from 29 August 2022 and to expire on 28 November 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (7:02pm).

6	GOLDEN SPRINT(App WW Cheah)	Ridden wide throughout from its outside draw. Returned cast off fore plate.
8	RUNNING SPIRIT(KP Lim)	Crowded shortly after the start, losing considerable ground.

Jockey S Ruzaini (GOLDEN KING) explained that although instructed to ride in a handy position, he had been severely crowded at the start and had thus been worse than midfield. On straightening, the gelding had kept the bit on one side and had shifted out. Given that it was his first ride on the gelding, it had taken him by surprise and though attempting to straighten, he had been unsuccessful.

Trainer HY Cheng stated that GOLDEN KING was having its initial start in Malaysia and suggested that it was best suited by staying type races. He also stated that he put Blinkers/Pacifiers as the gelding trialed somewhat greenly. In light of this, Trainer HY Cheng was advised that GOLDEN KING will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test (3 weeks embargo) before being declared to race again.

Jockey MM Firdaus (STAR BULLET) advised the Stewards that at its previous week, after jumping well, it had showed no pace but he had managed to lead after some time. However today, although instructed to ride a forward race, the gelding had shown no early pace and he pushed it, ridden vigourously from the start, he was of the opinion that the gelding had not appreciated racing week-to-week.

Trainer KC Tiang stated that he was disappointed in the manner in which STAR BULLET was ridden wide and highlighted that the gelding had finished only 7 lengths from the winner. However, given the nature of this performance, he undertook that he would not start STAR BULLET for 3 weeks.
