11	UNDER OATH (R Rueven)	Bumped and became unbalanced near the 500M.

Jockey J Low (HANDSOME BOY) was questioned as to why the gelding was not ridden in a forward position. He advised that he had requested for the gelding to be loaded last, however, this request was not acceded to but the horse’s tail was held by the barrier attendant. After jumping only fairly, he had been tightened for room and thereafter had been unable to obtain the forward position that he had wished for. HANDSOME BOY had commenced to race fiercely and had dipped significantly on straightening and again just prior to the winning post, Trainer HY Cheng was advised to report any findings to the Stewards. HANDSOME BOY was subject to a further veterinary examination before being permitted to race again.

When questioned regarding the performance of DOCTOR GINGER, Jockey HS Gill stated that the gelding was fractious in the stalls and after fly-jumping, was crowded and he had been unable to take up customary leading position, and the gelding had laid outwards considerably, racing wide from the 1000M until straightening. Although he had ridden the horse forward in the straight, it had failed to respond and he considered that the gelding was only suited when able to lead.

Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer advised that MR ALFONSO had failed to perform in three (3) recent outstation races, however, that the gelding had won when being ridden prominently and that it had raced in a trialled in a prominent position on the 15^th of February 2022. He considered that MR ALFONSO did not relish travelling and was better suited by racing in KL but he had been restricted by suitability of races and distances, thus taking the horse outstation. The Stewards advised Trainer MP Thwaites’ Assistant Trainer that MR ALFONSO is expected to be ridden in a consistent manner in lead/handy and that consideration be given to restricting its starts to local racing.

Jockey CK Khaw (LEO) stated that the gelding had commenced to tire quickly and he had ridden it out in an effort to get it to respond, however, it had lost considerable ground in a short space. The Stewards were concerned that Jockey CK Khaw’s whip usage was abstract and not consistent with his normal fashion. He explained this being that he had used the whip only on a few occasions and had changed it to his left hand but it had become entangled with his reins. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards were conscious of the fact that LEO had been beaten 19 lengths and had lost considerable ground over the final 200M. The Stewards instructed that LEO be subject to a veterinary examination before being permitted to race again.

The Stewards inquired into the manner in which MONDAY was ridden in the straight. After taking evidence from App R Nuqman, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim, the Stewards believed they could not justify a charge in terms of the Rules, however, warned App R Nuqman that his riding, particularly with regards to the veracity with which he used the whip failed to meet the standard required.

The Steward inquired into App R Nuqman’s riding of LITTLE PONY. Evidence was taken from App R Nuqman, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim and Trainer KC Tiang, the trainer of LITTLE PONY.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of LITTLE PONY, the Stewards found App R Nuqman 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 the Stewards considered that the use of his whip was in a feigning manner and as such, did not ensure that LITTLE PONY was fully tested.

The Stewards took into consideration App R Nuqman’s riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from 14 March 2022 and to expire on 13 May 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

The Stewards, on 2 March 2022 (Wednesday), inquired into the reason for LEADING CELLIST (App A Suriya) checking severely near the 700M in the above trial. It was established that “Unnamed” (K414 – KP Lim) had begun slowly, raced erratically and had charged up on the inside of LEADING CELLIST and hung out causing LEADING CELLIST to check. The Stewards warned Jockey KP Lim that he ought to exercise greater control under the provisions of MRA Rule 44(9) and further that “Unnamed” (K414), trained by Trainer M Sukri, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

TUESDAY, 1 MARCH 2022, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL 3

The Stewards, on 2 March 2022 (Wednesday), inquired into the reason for GOLDEN YEARS (App K Pavinthran) checking near the 700M in the above trial.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 10 (R211) CLASS 4 (B) – 1500M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 13 FEBRUARY 2022, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2022

Following the review of the race meeting conducted on Sunday, 13 February 2022, the Stewards, on 16 February 2022, questioned Trainer KF Coetzee and Jockey R Rueven as to the manner in which RULE THE WORLD was ridden in a rearward position.

Trainer KF Coetzee advised that he had not attended the race meeting but had advised Stewards and instructed that RULE THE WORLD be ridden to settle 4^th or 5^th..Jockey R Rueven advised that it had been his intention to ride the gelding in this position but it had been unable to follow closer than second last as the pace was “too hard”. He had pushed RULE THE WORLD from the outset and slapped it on the shoulder several times near the 1000M. Further, that due to the heavy rain and the kickback, he was unsure as to his exact position within the race field. He believed that RULE THE WORLD had responded well to his normal style of riding in the straight although again he had been timorous due to the diminished visibility, especially when crossed by READY TO SMILE (App WW Cheah) when that mare shifted out at the 300M.

Trainer KF Coetzee advised that RULE THE WORLD had under performed on an effected track in the past, but stated that he was pleasantly surprised the gelding had run on so well in the straight and considered that RULE THE WORLD may be better ridden in a manner where it is held up in its races.

The Stewards noted the explanations and reminded Trainer KF Coetzee of his obligation to advise the Stewards should he change the instruction as to the manner in which any of his horses are to be ridden.

3	HAVANA (J Daniel)	Dwelt at start, losing considerable ground. *(See Report)

10	TWENTYSIXTWELVE (App M Ekdihar)	Eased off the heels at the finish.

*When questioned as to the reason being so far back, Jockey J Shankar stated that D’GREAT VULTURE had been leaning to the right on jumping and both he and the gelding had become unbalanced, it was his intention to be running handy-to-midfield position, however, after this incident, he had been rearward. He also advised that the gelding was inclined to lay inwards when ridden forward on straightening. A subsequent veterinary examination revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

*Jockey J Daniel, when questioned, stated that HAVANA, being a fractious horse, was loaded early and due to the protracted delay, had to stand in the stall for a considerable part and had effectively switched off. He was then in a position that he had to ride the gelding from the rear rather than its preferred midfield position.

RACE 1 (R116) CLASS 5 (B) – 1500M (LONG COURSE)

1	BERLINETTA (CK Khaw)	Connections questioned regarding poor performance.
4	HAPPY GHOST (A Zaimuddin)	Raced wide in the early stages and laid inwards from the 175M, and continued to lay in for the remainder of the race.
5	TRINITY REVIVAL (SU Lim)	Steadied at the 175M
6	OVERSEER (S Rosmizan)	Trainer questioned regarding apparent improvement.

The connections of BERLINETTA were questioned regarding the poor performance of the gelding. The rider advised that the gelding had no pace and was unsuited by the nature of the track. Further, he believed that BERLINETTA second-up performances had been poor in the past and showed no interest in the race although he had encouraged the gelding significantly. The Trainer’s representative stated that he could offer no reasoning but suggested that the Course B and the State of Track may have contributed to BERLINETTA’s poor performance today. A post-race veterinary examination of BERLINETTA revealed no significant finding. BERLINETTA will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance. The gelding was impounded for analytical and veterinary examination.

When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance of OVERSEER, Trainer S Hamilton stated that the mare had not relished the State of Track at its previous run and its only win had been a the Selangor’s track. She was of the opinion that the mare had a liking for the track.

RACE 2 (R117) CLASS 5 (A) – 1800M (LONG COURSE)

1	SHA NA NA (App M Lukman)	Laid in, bumping APOLLO ROCK at the 250M

RACE 2 (R087) CLASS 5 (A) – 2000M (LONG COURSE)

Jockey R Rueven (MOMENTUM GALAXY) was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(5) for failing to weigh-out within the prescribed time, thereby delaying the saddling of MOMENTUM GALAXY.

LIM’S MASTER (App AR Raiyan) was slow into stride.

At the 1000M, CLOUD SHADOW (S Salee) had to steady when E SUPREME (App A Suriya) shifted in.

Near the 350M, LIM’S MASTER shied outwards away from the whip of CLOUD SHADOW.

E SUPREME was taken out near the 300M when blocked for a clear run and under hard riding, shifted wide on the track. App A Suriya was reprimanded for allowing his horse to drift to this extent.

SHOW THUNDER (App S Uzair) had to be steadied when striding onto the heels of SUNNY (App M Ekdihar) near the 200M when that gelding shifted out marginally.

App K Pavinthran (LIGHTNING HERO), placed 5^th , dropped his whip near the 300M. He was subsequently fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) and referred for remedial training.

SUNNY returned having cast its near fore plate.

An Inquiry will be conducted into App K Pavinthran’s (LIGHTNING HERO) conduct on returning to saddling paddock.

RACE 3 (R088) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

RACE 4 (R089) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

Prior to the correct weight being declared, the Stewards considered a complaint by Trainer WC Lim that his horse, SUPER BB, had been denied a fair start. After reviewing the official patrol film and considering the evidence, it was ascertained that App M Lukman (SUPER BB) had flicked SUPER BB prior to the start with the gelding simply missing the start by a small margin. In view of this, the Stewards deemed that SUPER BB was afforded a fair start and reprimanded App M Lukman for providing what amounted to a false statement.

SHOW HAND (App I Fikri) veered inwards on jumping.

MR EXCHEQUER (MM Firdaus) raced wide throughout.

In the early stages, THE STORM (J Daniel) pulled fiercely.

Near the 300M, SHOW HAND laid in, bumping SUPER BB. SHOW HAND continued to lay inwards causing THUNDERGOD (App AB Riduan) to be steadied near the 100M.

LISBOA STAR (App S Sia) shifted out marginally passing the 75M and brushed THE STORM which shifted out quickly, making contact with SHOW HAND which then veered out.

The Stewards inquired into the manner in which App I Fikri had ridden SHOW HAND over the concluding stages, in particular his use of the whip. After considering that App I Fikri had used his whip on 2 occasions whilst SHOW HAND was inclined to lay inwards and that App I Fikri was having only his 3^rd race ride, the Stewards referred App I Fikri for a specific retraining and instructed he would not be permitted to use his whip for another 12 race rides.

FLASH ONE (App WW Cheah) returned with a cut to its off hind leg and will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

RACE 5 (R090) OPEN MAIDEN – 1500M (LONG COURSE)

COUNTER ATTACK (App Clyde Leck) was slow into stride and raced wide throughout.

UNLIMITED STAR (App WW Cheah) shifted in shortly after the start causing SLEEPY JOE (J Daniel) to be steadied.

SONG RIVER (R Rueven) shifted out passing the 400M when its saddle shifted backwards and carried UNLIMITED STAR out, which had to be steadied and taken inwards to obtain clear running.

Trainer C Leck was questioned regarding the improved performance of OBSIDIAN (App K Pavinthran). He said that he was at a lost to explain the gelding’s improvement as it had been limited in its race performances. He could only suggest that the gelding was fresher in its work having not raced for a month. Further, he was restricted in his working of OBSIDIAN due to some physical and characteristics issues.

A post-race veterinary examination of SLEEPY JOE (J Daniel) which returned with respiratory noises, revealed that it was exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

SONG RIVER returned with a cut to its near hind leg.

RACE 6 (R091) CLASS 3 – 1700M (LONG COURSE)

THUNDER DRAGON (CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

D’GREAT LIGHT (S Salee) and TIME TO HARVEST (App R Nuqman) raced wide throughout.

EYE GUY (App S Uzair) was inclined to lay outwards from straightening, finishing wide on the track.

D’GREAT LIGHT eased outwards to avoid the heels of SHOQEET (MM Firdaus) near the 350M. When questioned regarding the performance of D’GREAT LIGHT, Jockey S Salee advised that he had been instructed to ride the mare handy, however, it had not shown any real pace and he considered that the pace of the 1700M race was particularly quick. He further advised that he had been obliged to take the mare wide in an endeavour to improve its position and it had run on only moderately in the straight. Trainer S Siva concurred with his instructions and advised that the mare had started in this race due to the inavailability of a suitable race and he believed that this was the reason she had been unable to show any early speed.

App M Lukman (BLACK THORN) was warned to ensure that he does not make a celebratory gesture before the finish.

Jockey CK Khaw failed to advice that the saddle on THUNDER DRAGON had slipped backwards mid-race and as such was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(11). A post-race veterinary examination of THUNDER DRAGON revealed no significant finding. In light of the poor performance, THUNDER DRAGON will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

SHOQEET (MM Firdaus) returned having cast its near fore plate.

LARSON (App S Uzair) steadied near the 75M to avoid the heels of the tiring DOCTOR GINGER.

LEO (CK Khaw) laid outwards over the concluding stages, carrying HOWL (SU Lim) wide.

NOVA VOCAL (App M Ekdihar) raced wide from the 800M until straightening. App M Ekdihar explained that he had wished to shift in, however, had heard several appeals on his inside and had therefore stayed wide.

App A Suriya (SEMANTAN PRINCE) dropped his near side rein near the 200M. As it was a repetition of this issue, App A Suriya was referred for specific training and advised not to accept rides until such time this matter was resolved satisfactorily.

RACE 10 (R095) CLASS 5 (A) – 1250M (SHORT COURSE)

INVISIBLE (WK Lee) was tightened between CRU BOURGEOIS (App WW Cheah) and MAJULAH (CK Khaw), losing ground.

INVISIBLE raced wide in the middle stages.

Running to the 850M, MACHUNG STAR (App M Ekdihar) checked severely. It was established that CRU BOURGEOIS had shifted in at this stage, carrying SMART RACER (App Clyde Leck) inwards which tightened FISH BALL (MM Firdaus) causing it to restrain and in turn, MACHUNG STAR had to be checked severely. On inquiry, App WW Cheah, the rider of CRU BOURGEOIS, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in at the stage.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App WW Cheah’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 24 January 2022 and to expire on 2 February 2022, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
