Jockey C Goon (SPIN FIRE) subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Stewards considered the application for a stay which was allowed. The appeal hearing against the penalty of the suspension of six (6) weeks will be held at a date to be fixed.


RACE 11 (R183) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE), SUNDAY, 14 MARCH 2021, SELANGOR TURF CLUB M ARCH MEETING 2021 

The Stewards, on 18 March 2021 at the SLTC, inquired into the performance of SPIN FIRE. Evidence was taken from Jockey C Goon and Trainer MW Teh, the rider and trainer of SPIN FIRE respectively. After considering the evidence tendered, Jockey C Goon was found 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:

  1. He restrained SPIN FIRE for approximately seven (7) strides after the start when the gelding was leading, thereby allowing horses progressing from the outside to lead more easily.

  1. After being in position, immediately behind the leader, MERCURIAL TURN (J De Souza) near the 800M, he restrained SPIN FIRE between the 700M until straightening whereby the gelding raced approximately three (3) lengths behind the leader. 

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey C Goon’s mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. The Stewards also took into consideration his relatively good record which showed that he had one previous conviction in 2011. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) weeks with immediate effect today, 18 March 2021 and to expire on 29 April 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

It was established that Jockey J Shankar who was racing on the outside of App M Lukman, extended his left arm towards App M Lukman in a playful manner without making contact and made a flippant departing remark. This was corroborated by App M Lukman, who agreed that his relationship with Jockey J Shankar was good.

Whilst accepting that there was no malice or improper intend in Jockey J Shankar’s action, the Stewards reprimanded him for what they considered was tantamount to an improper action. The Stewards advised him that he should desist in repeating such frivolous conduct particularly whilst mounted.

He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

TUESDAY, 9 MARCH 2021, SLTC TRACKWORK 

Trainer BT Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for presenting TOP S with an incorrect saddle cloth number for trackwork on the above date. 


INQUIRY INTO A COMPLAINT BY HEAD OF SLTC APPRENTICE SCHOOL ALLEGING MISCONDUCT TOWARDS HIM PRIOR TO THE RUNNING OF RACE 6 (R006) ON 1 JANUARY 2021 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB

The Stewards inquired into a complaint by Mr Tai Lee Leong (LL Tai), the Head of SLTC Apprentice School, acting in the capacity of Paddock Steward, alleging threatening behavior towards him by Stable Supervisor Vijayaraj a/l Siva Kumar (SS.22), prior to the running of Race 6 on 1 January 2021 at the Selangor Turf Club.

Evidence was taken from Mr LL Tai (Head of Apprentice School), Mr Kamalavallo a/l Palianasamy (Paddock Steward), Trainer S Siva, Stable Supervisor Vijayaraj a/l Siva Kumar, Syce Thevindran a/l Siva Kumar (S.619) and Jockey S Zulfikri.

RACE 2 (R002)         CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

                                    HAVE A GRAND NEW YEAR STAKES

GOLDEN CRAFTSMAN (J De Souza) was slow into stride.

ZILFIKAR (Y Aify) and NEW SENSATION (App S Uzair) led by a large margin in the middle stages. Inquiries into the riding of Jockey Y Aify and App S Uzair were opened.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Y Aify, the rider of ZILFIKAR, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were the manner he had ridden ZILFIKAR in the early stages by not restraining and continued to attempt to lead when on the outside of NEW SENSATION.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, Jockey Y Aify’s mitigating factors, previous penalties applied under similar circumstances and his record. Jockey Y Aify was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month, to be deferred, with effect from 4 January 2021 and to expire on 3 February 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

When questioned, App S Uzair (NEW SENSATION), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, L Moy, stated that he had ridden NEW SENSATION in a similar fashion at his prior winning start and given that he had drawn inside of ZILFIKAR, he had attempted to ride the gelding in the same manner. Whilst accepting this in part, the Stewards reprimanded App S Uzair for continuing in a prolonged manner his attempt to lead, thereby overtaxing NEW SENSATION.

VERGLATICA (App A Suriya) took a missed step near the 800M and was eased down in the straight. It was ascertained that VERGLATICA had a bilateral sesamoid fracture and avulsion of the suspensory ligament. The gelding was subsequently humanely euthanized.

The Stewards inquired into App S Uzair’s ride over the final 5 strides. At the conclusion of the inquiry, App S Uzair (NEW SENSATION), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, L Moy, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) for failing to ride out to the end of the race.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the fact that NEW SENSATION was tiring badly, however, believed that the offence required a period of suspension. App S Uzair was suspended from riding in races for a period of 5 (five) Malaysian race days with effect from 2 January 2021 and to expire on 17 January 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

Jockey SU Lim (NOVA FALCON) was questioned regarding his ride on NOVA FALCON in the early stages. He stated that from his wide barrier, he had been trapped wide and had eased back in an endeavour to race closer to the fence, however at the same time, the field sprinted and this had increased the distance between him and other horses. He believed that NOVA FALCON had only raced moderately in the straight although having been ridden strongly.

EAGLE SOAR (S Ruzaini) threw its head and veered outwards at the start, and this inconvenienced BUKIT SUBANG (KC Wong). EAGLE SOAR then raced wide throughout and laid outwards in the straight. In light of the gelding’s performance, it will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

Passing the 1000M, MIRACLE WEI WEI (R Rueven) when crossed by LADY BOSS (AK Lim), dipped and lost ground. At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey AK Lim, the rider of LADY BOSS, 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, current riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 23 November 2020 and to expire on 5 December 2020, both dates inclusive.

Jockey J Daniel was examined by the Club Doctor and stood down for the remainder of the races today.

Due to the considerable delay, CATAPULT (App CK Khaw) stood flat-footed, missing the start by considerable margin.

Jockey KC Wong (D’GREAT LOVE) was questioned regarding the performance of D’GREAT LOVE. He stated that due to the delay, the mare which had a barrier blanket in the stalls, had not accelerated quickly when the start was affected and he found himself further back and had to niggle the mare due to the fast early pace. He was also of the opinion that 1100M was too short for D’GREAT LOVE.
