At the 1000M, ICHIKA BACHIKA (AK Lim) was tightened for galloping room, clipped heels and Jockey AK Lim was dislodged, then STRONG WHITE, DRAGON WHISPERER, MR HOPKINS and FADABOY and TYPHOON were inconvenienced by the fallen rider.

The Stewards conducted an inquiry into the fall of Jockey AK Lim (ICHIKA BACHIKA). After considering the evidence from Jockey AK Lim and the footage of the race, the Stewards were able to establish that at the point where Jockey AK Lim became tightened for galloping room, this was as a consequence of his horse taking hold of the bit and racing into a gap which was not available to him.

It was further established that in the run, both Jockey SU Lim (BIG GUN) and App SN Shiva (STARHARMONY), when shifting ground, had both established an on the rail and one-off running line without any interference to ICHIKA BACHIKA. Consequently, the Panel was of the view that blame could not be apportioned to any individual rider for this incident and therefore the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

Jockey AK Lim was examined by the Club Doctor who stood him down from his riding engagement for the remainder of the race today.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 3 (R0917) CLASS 5A – 1020M (Track II), SATURDAY, 21 SEPTEMBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2024

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 8 (R0904) CLASS 4B – 1020M (Track II), SUNDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2024

Jockey AK Lim (RADETZKY MARSCH) was cautioned regarding the consistency of his riding.


RACE 8 (R0904) CLASS 4B – 1020M (Track II), SUNDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Thursday, 19 September 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of BORN TO WIN and took evidence from App M Lukman, the rider of BORN TO WIN, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, WC Lim who is also the Trainer of BORN TO WIN.

App M Lukman, the rider of BORN TO WIN, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) in that in Race 8 at the Selangor Turf Club on 15 September 2024, he failed to ride BORN TO WIN to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that:

1.     From the jump, he failed to afford BORN TO WIN sufficient rein to allow the horse the best possible chance to jump well;

2.     Between the 900M and the 800M, despite BORN TO WIN showing that it had a speed advantage over the other runners in this sprint race, he restrained this gelding, breaking its natural momentum and resulting in it throwing its head up;

3.     Between the 700M and the 500M, despite BORN TO WIN easily obtaining the lead and going clear of the field, he failed to ensure or at the very least, make a significant attempt to position his mount strategically near the rail so as to not cover unnecessary ground and position itself in front of its other dangers; and

4.     In the straight, his riding was passive, non-vigourous and lacking in intent and determination. In this regard, his riding specifically between the 350M and the 300M, causes BORN TO WIN to shift out and lose momentum and his riding for the remainder of the straight barring the last 2 strides, was passive, non-vigourous and lacking in intent and determination, in that, he offered minimal assistance to BORN TO WIN with his hands, his body was upright in the irons, his weight was back whilst riding and his whip use was lacking in rhythm and vigour,

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App M Lukman’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of twelve (12) months with immediate effect from 19 September 2024 and to expire on 18 September 2025, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

In addition, Trainer WC Lim was fined RM3000/- under MRA Rule 35(5) in that he failed to give adequate instructions to App M Lukman.


INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO A NON-RACE DAY BLOOD SAMPLE CODED “23036” TAKEN FROM THE HORSE “SIAM WARRIOR” WHICH WAS TAKEN ON TUESDAY, 30 JULY 2024

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the above matter on Thursday, 19 September 2024 at the Selangor Turf Club, and evidence was taken from Trainer S Dunderdale, the Trainer of SIAM WARRIOR.

Trainer S Dunderdale pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 135(6) as read with MRA Rules 135(4) & (11) in that he was the trainer and person responsible for SIAM WARRIOR which participated in the SLTC Official Barrier Trial on Tuesday, 30 July 2024 and subsequently, its post-trial blood sample was found to contain “Furosemide”, a prohibited substance under MRA Rules.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the type of substance, the nature of the substance involved, Trainer S Dunderdale’s guilty plea, his mitigating factors and previous record. He was fined RM3,000/- and was advised of his Right of Appeal.

The Stewards, on Monday, 9 September 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of READY TO SEVENLUCK and took evidence from Jockey WW Cheah and Trainer R Lines, the rider and trainer of READY TO SEVENLUCK respectively. 

After reviewing the films of the incident and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards found Jockey WW Cheah guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(9)(b)(iii) for Incompetent Riding. The particulars of the charge being that in Race 10 on Sunday, 1 September 2024, his riding on READY TO SEVENLUCK, is a deviation of the standard of riding expertise and judgement that is expected of a reasonably competent rider in that the manner of his restraint of READY TO SEVENLUCK between the 1000M and entering the straight is so severe that it resulted in this horse not being afforded the opportunity to capitalize on its early gains and in fact, negatively impacted the performance of this horse in the middle and at the end of the race.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey 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 six (6) weeks, to be deferred, with effect from 16 September 2024 and to expire on 27 September 2024, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

In addition, Trainer R Lines was fined RM1000/- for misconduct under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he conducted himself in an inappropriate manner on at least 3 occasions during the course of this inquiry.


RACE 2 (R0867) CLASS 5A – 1300M (SC A), SUNDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of TRAFALGAR and took evidence from App S Shazmin, the rider of the TRAFALGAR, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer EP Tan.

After reviewing the films of the incident and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards decided to take no further action, however, highlighted the inconsistency of his riding and advised him that should he appear before the Board regarding a similar occurrence in future, more severe sanctions may follow.


RACE 10 (R0875)     CLASS 5A – 1600M (LC A), SUNDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of TIN’S MACHINE and took evidence from Jockey KC Tham and Trainer WC Lim, the rider and trainer of TIN’S MACHINE respectively. 

After reviewing the films of the incident and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards found Jockey KC Tham guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(9)(b)(iii) for Incompetent Riding. The particulars of the charge being that in Race 10 on Sunday, 8 September 2024, his riding on TIN’S MACHINE was a deviation of the standard of expertise and judgement required of a reasonably competent rider in that:

  1. The method he adopted to ride his mount was lacking in urgency, vigour and rhythm which resulted in TIN’S MACHINE losing position between the 500M and the 350M; and

  2. His whip use in the straight was weak and lacking in vigour and rhythm; and

  3. His decision to remove his face mask was unjustified under the circumstances and resulted in TIN’S MACHINE being prejudiced.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey KC Tham’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 16 September 2024 and to expire on 15 October 2024, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.


INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO A PRE-RACE BLOOD SAMPLE CODED “255197” TAKEN FROM THE HORSE “HENG XING” AND A PRE-RACE BLOOD SAMPLE CODED “255251” TAKEN FROM THE HORSE “THUNDER” WHICH WERE WITHDRAWN FROM RACE 3 AND RACE 6 RESPECTIVELY, ON SUNDAY, 24 AUGUST 2024 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2024

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the above matters on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at the Selangor Turf Club, and evidence was taken from Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of HENG XING and THUNDER.

Trainer L Moy pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 134(6)(a) as read with MRA Rule 134(14) in that he was the trainer and person responsible for HENG XING when he administered an alkalinizing agent, bicarbonate soda on the morning of the race day to be run at the SLTC Meeting on 24 August 2024, and HENG XING failed a pre-race test after a sample taken from this horse on 24 August 2024 prior to the running of Race 3 run at SLTC disclosed upon analysis, the presence of TCO2 above the threshold of 36 mmol per liter of plasma, with the level detected being 36.9 mmol per liter of plasma.

Trainer L Moy pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 134(6)(a) as read with MRA Rule 134(14) in that he was the trainer and person responsible for THUNDER when he administered an alkalinizing agent, bicarbonate soda on the morning of the race day to be run at the SLTC Meeting on 24 August 2024, and THUNDER failed a pre-race test after a sample taken from this horse on 24 August 2024 prior to the running of Race 6 run at SLTC disclosed upon analysis, the presence of TCO2 above the threshold of 36 mmol per liter of plasma, with the level detected being 37.8 mmol per liter of plasma.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the type of drug, the nature of the drug involved, Trainer L Moy’s guilty plea on both charges, his mitigating factors and previous record. Trainer L Moy was fined RM30,000/- for each charge (total of RM60,000/-) and was advised of his Right of Appeal.

Trainer L Moy subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal against the severity of the sentence. The appeal hearing will be held at a date to be fixed.


RACE 3 (R0629) CLASS 4B – 1100M (SC A4), SUNDAY, 30 JUNE 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JUNE MEETING 2024

The Stewards, on Sunday, 15 September 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of OUR FINAL OFFER and took evidence from App R Nuqman, the rider of OUR FINAL OFFER, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim. The Stewards also took consideration of the evidence tendered in previous inquiries on 24 August 2024 and 8 September 2024.

After considering the expert evidence which was produced by App R Nuqman, the Panel decided not to charge App R Nuqman. However, App R Nuqman was advised that he will be restricted from riding in races until such time that he provides sufficient evidence to the Stewards through his riding in trackwork and in trials, that he could reasonably compete under the rigors of race riding.

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.
