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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

  1. That the Appeal of Jockey C Goon (ATTENTION) be deferred until it is able to be conducted in person at SLTC.
  2. That the current Stay of Sentence issued on 7 April 2021 be rescinded.
  3. That the penalty of 3-month suspension commences immediately and be served concurrently with his other suspension.
  4. 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.

Whilst accepting this explanation in part, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey J De Souza for what they considered a lack of vigour and diligence in his ride of SORBETA particularly in the straight and advised that a repetition of a similar manner would lead to a charge being imposed.

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. Evidence was taken from Apprentice Jockey AB Riduan, from whom the sample was taken and his Employing Trainer, HY Cheng.

Apprentice AB Riduan was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 136(3)(b) with having supplied a sample at the Selangor Turf Club on 18 April 2021 which upon analysis, was found to contain the prohibited, mitragynine.

In considering a penalty, the Stewards took into account; Apprentice AB Riduan’s personal circumstances, the penalties imposed on two riders recently at SLTC for similar offences and that Apprentice AB Riduan had been stood down from races, trials and trackwork since 24 April 2021, as such Apprentice A B Riduan was suspended from riding in races from 20 May 2021 until midnight 23 June 2021.


WITHDRAWAL OF APPEAL BY JOCKEY WONG KAM CHONG (KC WONG) AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF ONE (1) MONTH FOR CONTRAVENTION OF MRA RULE 44(10) IMPOSED BY THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH HIS RIDING OF RACEHORSE “BERLINETTA” IN RACE 3 (R323), CLASS 5 (A) – 1500M (LONG COURSE) ON SUNDAY, 18 APRIL 2021 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021

Jockey KC Wong who lodged an appeal against his suspension of one (1) month for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards under MRA Rule 44(10), applied to withdraw his appeal on 12 May 2021.

After consideration, the Racing Stewards acceded to his application and his deposit will be refunded.  His suspension commenced on 15 May 2021 and to expire on 14 June 2021, both dates inclusive.


RACE 8 (R372) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE) & RACE 9 (R373) SUPREME B – 1400M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 25 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021 

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.


WITHDRAWAL OF APPEAL BY JOCKEY CALVIN GOON (C GOON) AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF SIX (6) WEEKS FOR CONTRAVENTION OF MRA RULE 44(10) IMPOSED BY THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS IN CONNECTION WITH HIS RIDING OF RACEHORSE “SPIN FIRE” IN RACE 11 (R183) ON SUNDAY, 14 MARCH 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2021

GENERAL REPORTS (SLTC)

CHANGE OF RACING DISTANCE FOR SELANGOR 2 MAY 2021 RACE MEETING

The Selangor Turf Club has decided to change the racing distance for Race 1 and Race 2 from 1200M to 1250M in the Selangor 2 May 2021 race meeting.


RACE 11 (R331) CLASS 5 (B) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SUNDAY, 18 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021 

The Stewards, on 28 April 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded the inquiry into the riding tactics employed on TIGER BOSS (App A N Varmah) and BOOM ALMIGHTY (App WW Cheah). Parties were interviewed by telephone. 

Trainer C Leck advised that he had instructed App N Varmah to ride TIGER BOSS for pace and attempt to lead. App N Varmah confirmed that he had ridden TIGER BOSS vigourously in an attempt to lead, which he had accomplished easily but had been taken on by BOOM ALMIGHTY when that horse had progressed on his outside, he had been reluctant to restrain TIGER BOSS as he believed the gelding was travelling well and BOOM ALMIGHTY had not crossed him. 

Trainer R Lines advised that he had instructed App WW Cheah to have BOOM ALMIGHTY, which was having its initial Malaysian race start, in a forward to handy position from its outside draw. App WW Cheah stated that he had lost his near stirrup iron on jumping when BOOM ALMIGHTY brushed DANE’S ANATOMY (R Rueven). He had attempted to re-secure the stirrup iron and had only partly achieved this approaching the 850M. In attempting to secure his stirrup iron, he had allowed BOOM ALMIGHTY to advance on the outside of the leader TIGER BOSS. Whilst not intending to be in this position, he had decided to allow BOOM ALMIGHTY to lead, as he believed it was travelling well. 

In assessing the evidence, the Stewards attached no blame to App N Varmah’s riding of TIGER BOSS. The Stewards considered that App WW Cheah’s riding of BOOM ALMIGHTY was unsatisfactory, however believed they could not substantiate a charge under the Rules due to his riding being in part influenced by him having lost his stirrup iron. App WW Cheah was reprimanded for failing to ride BOOM ALMIGHTY in a diligent manner.


INQUIRY INTO THE REASON FOR APP M LUKMAN (ALICEINWONDERLAND) BEING DISLODGED NEAR THE 450M IN RACE 6 (R370) OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SUNDAY, 25 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021 

On 30 April 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club, App M Lukman, the rider of ALICEINWONDERLAND, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Mr WC Lim, was questioned as to this incident.

The Stewards were satisfied that the evidence disclosed that at this stage, App M Lukman was following UNLIMITED STAR (J De Souza) when it commenced to tire. He had moved to the outside of the heels of that gelding but ALICEINWONDERLAND had shifted back inwards when tending to shy away from SLEEPY JOE (J Low) which had progressed on its outside. ALICEINWONDERLAND had then struck UNLIMITED STAR’s heels and blundered, dislodging App M Lukman.

In assessing this incident, the Stewards apportioned no blame to any rider.

He stated that he had been tracking ELITE SAINT for the entire race and believed that the gelding would tire, he had elected to come to the inside as he believed this to be a better option as he knew MISE EN GARDE (CK Khaw) would take him into the straight and he would have an option to go to the inside or outside of that mare. 

The Stewards also questioned Jockey CK Khaw (MISE EN GARDE) who advised that he had not been appealed to at any stage and was unaware which horse had progressed on his inside. He further advised that he had simply allowed MISE EN GARDE to drift out slightly after straightening as the mare was comfortable in doing this.

GENERAL REPORT (S) – SLTC 

RACE 2 (R291) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 10 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021

The Stewards, on 14 April 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded the inquiry into Jockey HS Gill’s riding of ELITE BEAST in the above race. Jockey HS Gill stated that he had been instructed to ride ELITE BEAST where it was comfortable and to wait until straightening before putting pressure on. Trainer BT Lim advised that ELITE BEAST had a habit of getting its head up and racing with its mouth open. Further, that the gelding was broken winded and seemed reluctant to gallop freely when off the bit.

The Stewards viewed two (2) of ELITE BEAST’s performances (one when winning) from Singapore where it had raced with its head in the air. Trainer BT Lim stated that ELITE BEAST resented any form of noseband which he had tried on the gelding.

In considering the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that ELITE BEAST’s racing mode and manner was to be ridden without being subject to undue early pressure and that it had proclivity to race with head high action.

Trainer BT Lim was advised that it was expected that ELITE BEAST be ridden in future consistent with these traits in mind.


RACE 8 (R297) CLASS 4 (A) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 10 APRIL 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2021

The Stewards, on 16 April 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey W Faizal’s riding of EBRAZ (placed 5th) in the above race. Evidence was taken from the gelding’s trainer and rider, Trainer AB Abdullah and Jockey W Faizal respectively.

After reviewing the films and considering the evidence, Jockey W Faizal, the rider of EBRAZ, 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 his level of riding in the straight, was insufficiently vigourous to ensure that EBRAZ was properly tested.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey W Faizal’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months, to be deferred, with effect from 19 April 2021 and to expire on 18 August 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.


REPORT OF ANALYSIS ON CLEARING SAMPLE 

A Clearing Sample taken from WINNING STAR, which was received on 28 March 2021 by the USAINS BIOMICS Laboratory [report dated 8 April 2021 (CLS/V21/001)], was analysed and reported to be negative to Prohibited Substances and as such, WINNING STAR is cleared to resume racing under MRA Rule 134(12).

The vaccination in the passport of GIGANTE DEL ANDRE (R Rueven) was verified prior to the horse being presented. On inquiry, it was established that Trainer KC Tiang had not produced the passport of GIGANTE DEL ANDRE to the Veterinary Department for endorsement when the gelding was presented for vaccination. Trainer KC Tiang was reprimanded and advised that he must ensure all paperwork is completed before declaring any runners. 

SILENT PRINCE (App N Varmah) was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:15pm acting on veterinary advice that the gelding was lame off hind. SILENT PRINCE will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again. 

Shortly after the start, D’GREAT SPEED (J Low) threw its head when crossed by BAMSI BEY (J Shankar). 

Near the 1200M, KYO (App WW Cheah) and GIGANTE DEL ANDRE (R Rueven) were crowded when BAMSI BEY shifted in. BAMSI BEY continued to shift ground and pressured KYO in onto GIGANTE DEL ANDRE which became unbalanced and had to be restrained.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Shankar, the rider of BAMSI BEY, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) for shifting in at this stage.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Shankar’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 19 April 2021 and to expire on 25 April 2021, both dates inclusive.

Near the 1100M, STAY THE COURSE was buffeted when MAGIC SEVENTY TWO (App A Zaimuddin) shifted inwards slightly.

DUTROW (S Ruzaini) was inclined to lay inwards over the concluding 150M.

BUENOS AIRES (KC Wong) was ridden wide throughout. When questioned regarding this, Jockey KC Wong advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding midfield from its wide barrier. He had been crossed by a horse from his outside and he had been carried wide at the first turn by ALJAWHRA (Y Aify). Jockey KC Wong advised that he had been unable to secure a position closer to the fence and this has taken its toll on BUENOS AIRES. The Stewards advised Jockey KC Wong that his failure to secure a better racing position for BUENOS AIRES was not acceptable however, they believed they could not substantiate a charge under the Rules and warned him that a reputation could lead to a suspension. A post-race veterinary examination of BUENOS AIRES revealed that the gelding returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

CONSTANT JUSTICE (J Low) returned with a cut to its off hind leg. The gelding will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
