Jockey S Muniandy, the rider of WINNING TANGO, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of WINNING TANGO revealed no significant finding.

When questioned as to why he was so far back. Jockey O Chavez (LINCOLN CITY) advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding in a rearward position and had found that LINCOLN CITY was disinterested in the race. He had pushed the gelding from the 1000M fearing that he was losing his position.

Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed his instructions and advised that LINCOLN CITY has never shown pace. He was of the opinion that the gelding is now better suited over a longer distance, and he would endeavour to find a suitable longer race.

When questioned as to his riding tactics, Jockey J Low (D’GREAT TIMING) stated that he had been instructed to not use D’GREAT TIMING up in the early stages, and due to his big weight, he had been able to work into the race but found the pace slow from about the 700M and proceeded forward.

The Stewards questioned Jockey SU Lim (ASTRO MAN) as to why he had restrained in the early stages, thereby allowing BAKUTEH (S Muniandy) an easy lead. He stated that he had been instructed to ride ASTRO MAN in a forward position and lead if able to do so easily. He had not wished to push ASTRO MAN when BAKUTEH had progressed on his outside and he steadied when crossed by that gelding.

The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim that they considered he had restrained ASTRO MAN too readily and he was expected in future to ride a more diligent race when presented opportunity to lead easily.

App L De Souza, the rider of HAPPY BOX SIX, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of HAPPY BOX SIX revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

SAKURA JAPAN (AK Lim) was slow into stride.

BEAUTIFUL ONE (Y Aify) shied outwards quickly at the 100M, dislodging Jockey Y Aify.

Jockey Y Aify was subsequently taken to hospital for further observation. Trainer L Moy was advised that BEAUTIFUL ONE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for its poor racing manner.

From its wide draw, NUMBER ONE SON (S Muniandy) raced wide throughout. Jockey S Muniandy was questioned as to why he had raced ridden NUMBER ONE SON wide for the entire race. He advised that from the outside start position, NUMBER ONE SON had begun only fairly and had then begun to race fiercely. He was unable to secure a closer position and was carried wide by SENA FORTYTHREE (App A Zaimuddin) between the 900M and the 700M.

A post-race veterinary examination of TOM YAM revealed that the mare returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 1 (R1517) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 4 December 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the running and handling of CONCORDE. Evidence was taken from Jockey AK Lim the rider of CONCORDE and Trainer S Siva, the representative of Trainer PS Kumaran, the Trainer of CONCORDE.

Jockey AK Lim stated that he had been unable to hold CONCORDE which was racing in Blinkers for the first time. He was unaware that he was so far in front but suggested that CONCORDE was travelling smoothly.

The Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey AK Lim should have made a more determined attempt to restrain CONCORDE and be more aware of the race pace, however considered that they could not substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules given CONCORDE’s racing history.

Trainer PS Kumaran will be advised that due to Jockey AK Lim’s admission that he could not adequately control CONCORDE, he will not be permitted to ride CONCORDE again in future.  CONCORDE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test with its specific gear before being declared to race again.

---

RACE 8 (R1524) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

App S Zulfikri, the rider of CONDADO, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, S Siva, 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 that:

1. He restrained CONDADO between the 900M and the 600M, thereby losing ground behind PLACE YOUR BET;
2. On straightening, inside the 600M mark, he sat quietly and failed to ride CONDADO in a positive manner;
3. His riding out of CONDADO, with a tight rein in your right hand did not satisfactorily allow CONDADO to progress properly.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Zulfikri’s previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. App S Zulfikri was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from 9 December 2019 and to expire on 8 February 2020, 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 (3:37pm).

RACE 5 (R1521) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 4 December 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into an incident at the 700M in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockeys J De Souza and C Goon, the riders of RADICAL FORCE and ELITE GOLD respectively.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of RADICAL FORCE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he crossed in and caused ELITE GOLD to clip his horse’s heels causing that horse to blunder badly, dislodging Jockey C Goon, shortly after.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 9 December 2019 and to expire on 28 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the reasons for BIG BUS dislodging Jockey HS Gill shortly after the start.

It was established that although LA FAMILIA (J De Souza) had shifted in at this stage, BIG BUS had been bumped outwards when FIGHTING WARRIOR (J Low) had shifted out and bumped DRAGON HIGH (S Muniandy) which in turn contacted BIG BUS which moved out onto the heels of LA FAMILIA.

The Stewards held no rider responsible.

GABBAR (S Muniandy) hung outwards throughout. A post-race veterinary examination of GABBAR 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.

The Stewards inquired into App AR Aiman’s riding of MR PAULANDRE with the whip in the final stages. It was established that App AR Aiman had used his whip in a backhand manner on the gelding’s shoulder more than 12 times. In light of this, App AR Aiman would not be permitted to carry whip in his next six (6) rides and therefore the Stewards will consider the manner in which he will be permitted to use his whip.

A post-race veterinary examination of JERAM VILLAGE (Y Aify) 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.

When questioned regarding the performance of LIM’S PERSHING, Jockey J Low stated that after being tightened early, he found himself at the rear of the field with a particularly fast pace. He had been unable to secure a passage through the field but in the straight, LIM’S PERSHING had failed to make ground and appeared to be uncomfortable in his action.

The Stewards received a report from a Club Official and questioned the Starter and his assistant related to Jockey SU Lim’s manner prior to being loaded on MASTER JIANGMEN. An inquiry was adjourned to allow Jockey SU Lim to call numerous riders and barrier handlers in support of his defense.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2019

SATURDAY, 23 NOVEMBER 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Good

(Course A – True Position)

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

Veterinary Surgeons:

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr James Yu.

RACE 1 (R1477) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LADY LIBERTY (J De Souza) was slow into stride.

READY TO STRIKE (App L De Souza) jumped awkwardly with its face striking the outside gate and missed the start by a considerable margin. App L De Souza advised that the mare had been standing awkwardly and had veered out when the gates opened. Trainer R Lines confirmed that he had previously experienced trouble at the start with READY TO STRIKE, and considered the heavy blow to the gate at the start had considerably affected the mare’s performance.  READY TO STRIKE will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

In the early stages, EMPEROR WARRIOR (App CK Khaw) raced fiercely.

MUSANG KING (S Anandan) raced wide throughout.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of FLY HIGH, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of FLY HIGH revealed no significant finding.

RACE 2 (R1478) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

After being slow into stride, SUNNY (App CK Khaw) raced wide in the early stages.

Near the 400M, WHAT (App P Deneskumar) shifted out with NOVA PHOENIX (Y Aify) veering outwards quickly to avoid its heels and this caused M SEVEN (AK Lim) having to be restrained outwards. On inquiry, whilst the Stewards consider that App P Deneskumar had been careless in his failure to restrain WHAT when in shifted, given his good recent record and current application to his apprenticeship, the Stewards issue a severe warning for this incident and advised that a repetition would lead to a suspension.

A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S GREETING (App R Nuqman) revealed that it was lame off fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Jockey AK Lim was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(b) for using his whip in an excessive manner on M SEVEN.

TARZAN (Y Aify) was slow into stride. Jockey Y Aify reported that the barrier handler had been holding TARZAN when the start was effected.

In the early stages, DONT MIND IFIDO (AK Lim) raced fiercely.

Near the 1000M, RAKAMA (J De Souza) and RAINBOW FISH (App CK Khaw) were racing tightly with RAINBOW FISH having to be eventually checked. On inquiry, it was established that RAKAMA was inclined to lay inwards when its hind-quarters contacted RAINBOW FISH. Jockey J De Souza pulled the mare’s head outwards but the pressure of RAINBOW FISH had continued. In assessing this incident, the Stewards believed that Jockey J De Souza had made sufficient effort not to crowd the horse on his inside.

RAKAMA was taken outwards when blocked for a run near the 250M.

Jockey S Muniandy (TOM YAM) reported that the mare raced greenly throughout.

At the start, CREATE ABUNDANCE (J De Souza) shifted in, crowding LIGHTNING KING (AK Lim) which in turn caused INTROIT (J Low) and CONDADO (App S Zulfikri) to be tightened, losing ground in this incident. Jockey J De Souza was warned to afford runners on his inside sufficient room.

METALLOCENE (S Muniandy) was slow to begin.

When struck with the whip, LISTEN (S Anandan) shifted in near the 275M.

App L De Souza, the rider of D’GREAT SWIFT, reported that the gelding was unable to show early pace with the shorter distance than its previous start.

Jockey Y Aify, the rider of BAADSHAH, was fined RM1000/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at about the 200M.

Jockey R Shafiq was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to seek the Stewards’ prior permission to ride 5kgs overweight on WIRA SAKTI.

WIRA SAKTI shifted in at the start, crowding RUN THE DAY (App AR Aiman) and NUMBER ONE SON (S Muniandy) at the same time as SASA LADY (AK Lim) shifting out marginally. Jockey R Shafiq was warned to afford runners on his inside sufficient room.

SASA LADY raced wide in the middle stages.

WIRA SAKTI which was racing erratically, had to be steadied off the heels of RUN THE DAY near the 350M and again eased when NUMBER ONE SON rolled out at the 200M.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that RUN THE DAY returned having cast its near hind plate.

The Stewards inquired into the reason App L De Souza (D’GREAT JOURNEY) weighed in approximately 300 grams below the weight he weighed out at. The Stewards were unable to ascertain any reason but subsequently reprimanded App L De Souza for this infraction and advised him that he must ensure that his horses carry the correct weight at all times.

TERMS OF REFERENCE (S Salee) and TILSWORTH FREDDIE (App A Suriya) was slow into stride.

In the early stages, MR HANKS (J Low) was carried outwards by TRINITY GRACE (SU Lim) and obliged to race wide.  On inquiry, it was established that TRINITY GRACE was pulled very fiercely, and Jockey SU Lim had taken preventive measures to avoid the heels of BAHAR and shifted out at that stage. The Stewards warned Jockey SU Lim to exercise greater caution.

When questioned as to the reason RACE FOR FAME was so far back, Jockey R Shafiq advised that the gelding had not begun as quickly as the horses on his inside, and he was beaten for early pace. After going approximately 100M, RACE FOR FAME was crowded for room and he found himself further back than desired. Although he had ridden RACE FOR FAME vigourously in the straight, the gelding failed to respond. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that RACE FOR FAME (R Shafiq) returned with a cut on the off hind leg.

The Stewards opened an inquiry into the apparent improved performance of FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) as opposed to its unraced run on 9 November 2019 at SLTC.

Near the 400M, D’GREAT SONG had to be restrained when ASTRA rolled out.
