Jockey S Ruzaini (JUNGLE KING) appeared before the Panel of Stewards and was questioned regarding his decision to restrain his mount, which has a history of racing prominently, into the slow early pace of this race. In this regard, he explained that his mount was constantly pressured by INFINITY GLORY (T Krisna) which was not running a true racing line on the rail. He explained that this had resulted in JUNGLE KING showing an inclination to lean out and become unbalanced. He further explained that with the pressure that he was experiencing to maintain his horse’s position, he also did not want to risk getting into a speed duel with ITALIAN REVOLUTION (App Clyde Leck) which in his opinion, would have only compounded the difficulties which he was experiencing in the running. The Panel noted the explanation of Jockey S Ruzaini.

In the straight, GOLDEN PEGASUS and ANTIPODEAN came together and bumped on at least 4 occasions.

A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of the second placed horse, GOLDEN PEGASUS, against the winner, ANTIPODEAN (B Pinheiro) on the grounds of interference in the straight.

After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered that at the points of contact between the runners, GOLDEN PEGASUS was in fact the primary aggressor and that ANTIPODEAN was headed by GOLDEN PEGASUS leaving the 250M, however, despite the constant outward pressure from GOLDEN PEGASUS in the straight, this gelding still fought back to win.

Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that but for the above incident, GOLDEN PEGASUS would have finished ahead of ANTIPODEAN, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.

MY MONEY

(KC Low)

After the running of this race an objection was lodged by the 3rd placed horse HUNTER PEGASUS (S Ruzaini) against the 1st placed horse HARVEYWALLBANGER (App S Shazmin) and the 2nd placed horse LIM’S SINAI (S UZAIR) on the grounds of interference in the straight. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Objection Panel overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Panel took into consideration the finishing distanced between the runners at the finish and that, from the side on angle in particular, it could not be definitively established that but for the incident in question, HUNTER PEGASUS would have finished ahead of HARVEYWALLBANGER and LIM’S SINAI. Accordingly, the objection was overruled and the judge’s result was allowed to stand.

The Stewards reviewed the start pertaining to LINDA KHAN drawn in stall gate number 10. In this regard, it was established that prior to the start being effected, LINDA KHAN was restless in the gates and as the start was effected, the filly had bumped the front gate which resulted in it opening marginally earlier than the other stalls. The Stewards were of the view that this horse was afforded the opportunity of a fair start by the Starter, did not gain any advantage from its gate opening slightly earlier, and had jumped awkwardly in its own accord. Therefore, LINDA KHAN was deemed to be a runner in this race.

MAGNITUDE

(SU Lim)

Slow to begin. Dropped whip at the concluding stages. Fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey WW Cheah, the rider of ACROBAT, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding ACROBAT he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to JB KAINGEH at the 1000M.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey WW Cheah’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) Malaysian race day with effect from 22 July 2024 and to expire on 28 July 2024, both dates inclusive.  In lieu of one (1) Malaysian race day, he was also fined RM2,000/–.  He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

Jockey S Ruzaini (HAPPY PRINCESS) appeared before the Panel of Stewards, and was afforded an opportunity to place on record any factors which in his opinion, had contributed to HAPPY PRINCESS performing below market expectations (RM6/- favourite). In this regard, he explained that his instructions were to go forward from the jump and take cover in second or midfield. He explained that after jumping fairly, obtaining cover and travelling well through the middle stages of the race, when entering the straight, he switched his mount out for a clear run, however, upon asking it for its final finishing burst, this mare had nothing to come and in his opinion, was amiss in the run. In view of this report, a subsequent veterinary examination was requested on HAPPY PRINCESS which revealed no significant finding and this mare was impounded by the Stewards.

Trainer KC Tiang (HAPPY PRINCESS) appeared before the Panel of Stewards and confirmed the statements given by Jockey S Ruzaini in relation to him. He further explained that he was satisfied with the ride of Jockey S Ruzaini but disappointed with the mare’s run and would await the findings of the veterinary surgeon.

WAR SNIPER

(WW Cheah)

Vet inspection: No significant finding.

The Stewards granted permission for Jockey HS Gill to replace Jockey S Salee as the rider of LEATHERHEAD as the latter was unable to make the carded weight. Jockey S Salee was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make carded weight. He was also advised that his weight was limited to 53 ½ kgs.

Between the 1200M and the 1100M, SAN ANDREAS (O Chavez) was squeezed, tightened for galloping room and inconvenienced for a number of occasions by REVOLUTION (C Perkins) which shifted in continually. This resulted in this gelding clipping heels, going amiss, striking the rail and dislodging Jockey O Chavez. Jockey O Chavez was examined by the Club Doctor who stood him down from his riding engagements for the remainder of the races today.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey C Perkins, the rider of REVOLUTION, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to SAN ANDREAS between the 1200M and the 1100M.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey C Perkin’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) race days with effect from 8 July 2024 and to expire on 21 July 2024, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
