Trainer C Leck was questioned as to the reason STAY SOUND (placed third) had led by a considerable margin as opposed to its rearward performance on 2 October 2021. He stated that he was mystified as to how STAY SOUND had led so easily as he believed the gelding would have displayed a considerable different attitude than its previous starts in order to be able to race prominently. He could only offer a suggestion that STAY SOUND was fresh, given that he had confined the gelding work with swimming since its previous start. Whilst accepting that STAY SOUND had not been ridden vigourously from the start nor mid-race, the Stewards advised Trainer C Leck that it was expected that STAY SOUND to be ridden in a similar fashion, leading or handy, in its future starts.

RACE 3 (R758) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

CONDADO (L De Souza) shifted in at the start, crowding FIVE HUNDRED (KC Tham) onto O’REILLY BAY (Y Aify).

FOREVER AND EVER (AK Lim) was ridden across quickly from its outside barrier and caused D’GREAT ACHIEVER (App S Sia) to shift in, which in turn caused FIVE HUNDRED (KC Tham) to bump with ALL WHITE (App Clyde Leck). At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey AK Lim, the rider of FOREVER AND EVER, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii). In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AK Lim’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 11 October 2021 and to expire on 17 October 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

ALL WHITE became unbalanced near the 1100M.

In the early stages, CONDADO which was racing fiercely, was taken wide and then laid in considerably in the straight.

UPTOWN GIRL (J Shankar) which was making ground in the straight, had to be steadied at the 75M when laying in slightly.

A post-race veterinary examination of FOREVER AND EVER revealed that the mare bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

STAR INVINCIBLE (App AB Riduan) which had cast its off fore plate at the start, was replated, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to race.

GOOD NEWS (KC Wong) veered outwards at the start, bumping CHER (S Ruzaini).

CHER was blocked for a clear run behind GOOD NEWS over the concluding 200M and had to be restrained. GOOD NEWS then shifted out at the same time as EL TORDILLO (SU Lim) shifting in onto ELITE REMARKABLE (HS Gill) which had to be checked at about the 75M.

Jockey HS Gill (ELITE REMARKABLE) dropped his whip at about the 400M. He was warned that a repetition of dropping the whip in future may lead to a penalty being imposed.

Jockey KC Wong (GOOD NEWS) and Jockey L De Souza (TRIPLE ONE STAR) were questioned as to why they had allowed the three early leaders to advance in front of their mounts between the 1200M and the 900M. Jockey KC Wong stated that he had pushed GOOD NEWS from the start but the gelding had showed no early pace and further it was burdened by top weight of 59kgs. Jockey L De Souza stated that he believed that the leaders had gone too quickly and he was content to make progress alongside GOOD NEWS. Whilst accepting these explanations, the Stewards reminded Jockeys KC Wong and L De Souza that they were expected to ride positively at all stages throughout the race so as to maximize their mounts’ chances.

EL TORDILLO returned having cast its off fore plate.

After jumping slowly, WILDFIRE (HK Cheng) was crowded between FLYING SHADOW (SU Lim) and MAJOR GREEN (R Rueven) and had to be restrained. WILDFIRE then threw its head significantly and was taken wide. Jockey HK Cheng, when questioned, confirmed that he wished to be racing in a prominent position close to the pace but after being crowded, WILDFIRE reacted violently with its head and he had been forced to take the gelding wider on the track.

Following the running of this race, Jockey HK Cheng was examined by the Club Doctor who subsequently stood him down from his riding engagement for the remainder of the race today. Jockey HK Cheng was advised by the Stewards that he will require a specific fitness clearance prior to riding in races again.

SONG KID (L De Souza) laid in considerably in the straight and approaching the 200M, had to steady off the heels of the tiring TAVITO.

A post-race veterinary examination of TAVITO revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

At the conclusion of the inquiry, Jockey A Zaimuddin, the rider of MR G, 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 were that:

He travelled wide between the 900M and the 600M when there was no need to do so; and
He showed a lack of vigour in his riding in the straight.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey A Zaimuddin’s plea of guilty, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months, to be deferred, with effect from 11 October 2021 and to expire on 10 December 2021, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

RESOLUTE (HS Gill) raced wide throughout. When questioned regarding this, Jockey HS Gill advised that RESOLUTE was having its initial start in Malaysia and he was unsure of that gelding’s characteristics. He had been unable to restrain RESOLUTE in an endeavour to take a sit behind SELANGOR EXPRESS (App R Nuqman) running to the first turn.

RACE 8 (R733) SUPREME A – 1100M (SHORT COURSE)

In the early stages, XENA (J Low) raced fiercely.

Jockey S Ruzaini (VOLCANIC GENERAL) was fined the sum of RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(12) for making a celebratory gesture prior to the winning post.

A post-race veterinary examination of SHOWBOY (Y Aify) revealed that it returned with laryngeal hemiplegia (grade 3) and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

The Stewards inquired into the manner in which App AB Riduan rode CONSTANT JUSTICE. Trainer HY Cheng stated that he had instructed CONSTANT JUSTICE be ridden forward but not lead, however, App AB Riduan was unable to restrain CONSTANT JUSTICE. The Stewards questioned App AB Riduan as to why he had looked on his inside on 3 occasions at the 800M, 600M and the 475M when travelling on the outside of the leader, VOLCANIC GENERAL (S Ruzaini). He stated that he was concerned as he heard some “calling” from behind and that he did not want to interfere with any other runner. When questioned as to the reason he had shifted out on straightening, he stated that he had been instructed to take CONSTANT JUSTICE to the middle of the track in the straight as it resented any horses around it and any kickback. Trainer HY Cheng confirmed these instructions and reasoning.

The Stewards heard evidence from Jockey S Ruzaini (VOLCANIC GENERAL) and Jockey J Low (XENA). Jockey J Low advised that it was him that called at the 475M but only to encourage XENA. He agreed that it was fortuitous that CONSTANT JUSTICE had shifted out at this stage, as it had afforded XENA an uninterrupted passage.

In considering this matter in totality, the Stewards warned App AB Riduan that he must ride each race individually and with a view in maximizing his horse’s chances, further he ought not to be concerned in other runners’ preferred passage. Further, Trainer HY Cheng was advised that when he had multiple runners, he must instruct that each horse is ridden independently so as to maximize its chances.

HIGH COUNCIL (App N Varmah) raced wide in the middle stages.

LIM’S PERSHING (App AB Riduan) raced wide throughout, taking the turn into the straight wide.

BURKAAN was blocked for a run near the 250M and had to be steadied when GOD HELPS ME (S Ruzaini) drifted out passing the 150M. Jockey S Ruzaini was advised that he must keep his mounts straight.

When questioned, Jockey J De Souza (SORBETA) advised that when crossed at the start by HANDSOME BENZ (HS Gill), he had eased SORBETA but the gelding had thrown its head and was reluctant to stride out resulting in him being at the tail of the field. He also advised that in his opinion, the 1100M was too short for SORBETA. Jockey HS Gill (HANDSOME BENZ) was warned that he must afford horses on his inside sufficient room at the start.

A post-race veterinary examination of LINCOLN MOONLIGHT (J Low) revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

RACE 5 (R721) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

WATERMELON (MM Firdaus) raced wide throughout.

The Stewards inquired into App A Suriya’s riding of STAY SOUND. Trainer C Leck advised that STAY SOUND was a 6-year-old, 11 start Maiden and he had instructed that it would be ridden patiently as the gelding had a poor action, and was adversely affected when STAY SOUND was ridden vigourously in the early stages. Further, he had instructed App A Suriya to gradually make ground in the straight as he had not wished STAY SOUND to become unbalanced.

App A Suriya concurred with these instructions and advised that running to the first turn, he had been in a rearward position and surrounded by runners, he had allowed STAY SOUND to become balanced in the straight and had ridden it vigourously when it had run on only moderately.

Trainer C Leck tendered evidence of significant stable support. The Stewards accepted the explanations, however, advised Trainer C Leck that he must inform the Stewards if there was an intention to change the manner in which STAY SOUND was ridden in future.

A post-race veterinary examination of TRINITY LAD (A Zaimuddin) revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 6 (R722) CLASS 3 – 1100M (SHORT COURSE)

TOUCH THE CLOUDS (MM Firdaus) was slow into stride.

In the early stages, TOUCH THE CLOUDS and EBRAZ (Y Aify) could not keep in touch with the field despite being ridden vigourously.

In the straight, ROCKET PEGASUS (S Ruzaini) raced erratically near the finish.

A post-race veterinary examination of DIAMONDS (J Daniel) revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

Near the 750M, ASIAN TIGER (App AB Riduan) had to be restrained when striding onto the heels of FIRST PRECINCT (J Shankar).

PEARL DANCER (S Ruzaini) raced wide on straightening.

RED SYMPHONY (CK Khaw) was ridden wide in the middle stages and was impeded near the 200M when GASSUR (Y Aify) shifted out. The Stewards inquired into Jockey CK Khaw’s ride on RED SYMPHONY. He stated that it was his first ride on the gelding and that he had been instructed to ride midfield, however, had been unable to secure a position close to the fence as MERCURIAL TURN (J De Souza) had kicked up on his inside and he was trapped wide until straightening. He had then tried to secure a passage in the straight before riding RED SYMPHONY vigourously. The Stewards warned Jockey CK Khaw that he must ensure that he rides all his horses in a manner which is positive and to ensure they are be fully tested.

RACE 1 (R694) CLASS 5 (B) – 1250M (LONG COURSE)

TRINITY TARZAN (SU Lim) tended to lay out in the early stages, carrying TRUMPS UP (J Shankar) wide near the 1000M.

ARLO (S Ruzaini) which returned exhibiting abnormal behaviour, was impounded for analytical and veterinary examination.

A post-race veterinary examination of TRINITY TARZAN revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 2 (R695) CLASS 5 (A) – 1250M (LONG COURSE)

Acting on veterinary advice that MAIDANZ BEAUTY (App Clyde Leck) had sustained multiple lacerations to the near hind at the pre-race holding yard, the mare was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 12:25pm. MAINDANZ BEAUTY will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Running to the 1000M, GLENAFTON (J Low) had to be steadied off the heels of FOREVER AND EVER (AK Lim) when that horse eased when crossed by ATTENTION (S Ruzaini).

In the run to the 1000M, SAND BANK (J De Souza) threw its head when being steadied.

Near the 300M, COMMODORE LINCOLN (Y Aify) shifted out with GLENAFTON shifting outwards from it and inconvenienced THE ICEMAN (App A Suriya).

The Stewards inquired into Jockey J Low’s riding of GLENAFTON. At the conclusion of the inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider of GLENAFTON, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that after taking a good jump, he failed to put any pressure onto GLENAFTON in an endeavour to have it race in a midfield position.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month, to be deferred, with effect from 4 October 2021 and to expire on 3 November 2021, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

RACE 3 (R696) CLASS 5 (A) – 1250M (LONG COURSE)

The Stewards granted permission for Jockey HS Gill to replace Jockey A Zaimuddin as the rider of HAPPY GHOST as the latter was unable to make the carded weight. Jockey A Zaimuddin was warned that a repetition in future, may lead to a penalty being imposed. He was also advised that an embargo of 56kgs was placed on his weight.

HAPPY GHOST (HS Gill) jumped awkwardly.

In the middle stages, SUPER LINE (Y Aify) raced wide.

In the run to the first turn, SLEEPY JOE (J Low) raced fiercely.

HAPPY LUCKY STAR (CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

Near the 250M, the tiring SMART RACER (App Clyde Leck) rolled in causing UNION JAC (App R Nuqman) to be restrained.

The Stewards inquired into the riding of App Clyde Leck (SMART RACER) and App R Nuqman (UNION JAC) as to the reason that they had both led by a considerable margin in the early part of the race.

After taking evidence from App Clyde Leck, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, C Leck who is also the Trainer of SMART RACER, and App R Nuqman, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim, and also Trainer SY Lim, the trainer of UNION JAC, the Stewards were satisfied that App Clyde Leck, although had been instructed to lead, was unable to restrain SMART RACER and take a sit. Further that whilst App R Nuqman had been instructed to ride UNION JAC in a midfield position, the gelding had raced too fiercely and he was reluctant to restrain it, as it had a light mouth and he feared that UNION JAC would throw its head. As such, the Stewards warned both App Clyde Leck and App R Nuqman that they must endeavour to make a greater effort to restrain their mounts and ride more diligently in future.

A post-race veterinary examination of UNION JAC revealed no significant finding.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

APPEAL BY JOCKEY CALVIN GOON (C GOON) AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF THREE (3) MONTHS FOR CONTRAVENTION OF MRA RULE 44(10) IMPOSED BY THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH HIS RIDING OF RACEHORSE “ATTENTION” IN RACE 9 (R233) CLASS 5 (A) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 27 MARCH 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2020

On 7 April 2021, Jockey C Goon (ATTENTION) was suspended for three (3) months under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. He subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence, which was granted.

Prior to this, on 18 March 2021, Jockey C Goon (SPIN FIRE) was suspended for six (6) weeks, however he subsequently withdrew his Appeal and served his suspension from 5 May 2021 and expiring on 16 June 2021, both dates inclusive.

Due to the present Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO) 3.0 restrictions and under the powers of MRA Rule 146(1) & 149(1)(c)&(d), the SLTC Racing Stewards made the following orders:

That the Appeal of Jockey C Goon (ATTENTION) be deferred until it is able to be conducted in person at SLTC.
That the current Stay of Sentence issued on 7 April 2021 be rescinded.
That the penalty of 3-month suspension commences immediately and be served concurrently with his other suspension.
Should such suspension (3 months for ATTENTION) be still in force, when racing at SLTC (or other Malaysian race Clubs) recommences, that a Stay of Sentence be summarily granted to Jockey C Goon to allow him to ride, until such Appeal is determined.

On 15 September 2021, Jockey C Goon subsequently applied to withdraw his appeal for his suspension of three (3) months in relation to ATTENTION. In view of the above, Jockey C Goon has been deemed to have served his suspension of three (3) months from 17 June 2021 to 16 September 2021, both dates inclusive and his deposit will be refunded.

RACE 1 (R446) CLASS 5 (B) – 1250M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 29 MAY 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2021

On 29 May 2021, Jockey J Low (NOVA DASHING) was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days for careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) with effect from midnight 30 May 2021.

On 15 September 2021, Jockey J Low subsequently submitted a request to the Racing Stewards in order for his 3-day suspension to be set aside due to hardship imposed by the Movement Control Order (MCO) 3.0.

After consideration, the Racing Stewards, on 18 September 2021, acceded to his request and deemed that this 3-day suspension be set aside.

When questioned regarding the reason why BEIJING STAR was in a rearward position in the early stages, Jockey J Low advised that he had intended to ride the gelding midfield, however, BEIJING STAR had failed to show any dash and he felt that the gelding was of a totally different demeanour to its previous start. Trainer HY Cheng stated that he was disappointed with the gelding’s performance, however, advised that BEIJING STAR had not eaten up well since its last work on Tuesday. He had no concern regarding the horse’s suitability for today’s race but believed that the horse may benefit from an ease in his work load. In light of this, BEIJING STAR will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again and was impounded.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT CONCERNING URINE SAMPLE CODED “J-4211” WHICH WAS TAKEN ON 18 APRIL 2021 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB, WAS FOUND TO CONTAIN MITRAGYNINE

The Stewards conducted an inquiry on Thursday, 20 May 2021 by Zoom connection, into the Analyst’s Report that Sample Coded “J-4211” which was taken on 18 April 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club, was found to contain mitragynine.

The Stewards concluded their inquiries into the reasons for: STRAP MARKS in Race 8 and DESIRE SKY in Race 9 being late withdrawals on Sunday, 25 April 2021.

Trainer R Lines advised that his stable staff numbers and composition had been severely curtailed and changed due to a considerable number of personnel being isolated because of Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He had taken it upon himself not to attend the races.

With his non-attendance and reduced staff, this had resulted in a lack of personnel who would normally check all race day preparation details. He further advised of several personal issues that had compounded the problem of both horses not being presented to race.

In considering the elements of the case, the Stewards were satisfied that the unique circumstances due to Covid-19 SOP lockdown, had brought about the error and took no further action.
