When questioned, App M Akmazani (INTROIT) advised that INTROIT had shown no early pace and he had been rearward where the gelding was travelling comfortably. Although making good ground in the straight, he had ridden it hands and heels and sparingly with the whip.

TIME ODYSSEY (S Salee) jumped awkwardly, losing ground.

In the middle stages, GRAND CROSS (HS Gill) raced wide.

DINTINCTIVE DARCI was momentarily blocked and had to be steadied from the heels of HATTA (S Ruzaini) at the 200M. HATTA then bore out over the concluding stages, causing PANDA BOMB (App A Suriya) and AFFLECK (R Rueven) to shift outwards. MARINE TREASURE was impeded in the straight and had to be taken wide to obtain a clear passage. Jockey R Rueven, the rider of AFFLECK, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in shortly after the start, carrying DINTINCTIVE DARCI (App L De Souza) inwards which caused MARINE TREASURE (App M Akmazani) and D’GREAT CONQUEROR (AK Lim) to be tightened and lose ground.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey R Rueven’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 10 August 2020 and to expire on 16 August 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 7 (R479) CLASS 4 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 1 AUGUST 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST SPECIAL MEETING 2020 

The Stewards questioned App A Zaimuddin (SHELLOMADA), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer BT Lim who is also the Trainer of SHELLOMADA, regarding his whip use on that gelding. Trainer BT Lim put forward that App A Zaimuddin had not ridden for a considerable period and as he had been subject to some previous training, he attempted to change his whip riding style during this period. As such, he was of the opinion that App A Zaimuddin, although trying to ride to his best, had not yet perfected the different style.

Whilst the Stewards accepted this in part, they referred App A Zaimuddin for specific whip related training and advised that he must ride every horse in a manner so as to leave no doubt as to his proper purpose.

SELANGOR STAR (HS Gill), GYARADOS (C Goon) and GOOD NEWS (KC Wong) were slow into stride.

Passing the 1200M, LIM’S PERSHING (SU Lim) commenced to race fiercely and shifted out, inconveniencing FUSION POWER (J Low). SORBETA (App L De Souza) which was following, was taken wide.

CHINO DINERO (App M Lukman) shifted out near the 150M, carrying RACE FOR FAME (Y Aify) outwards.

Near the 100M, SORBETA steadied when FUSION POWER shifted in.

RACE FOR FAME shifted in over the final 100M.

App M Lukman (CHINO DINERO) was questioned regarding the use of his whip and was advised that in the opinion of the Stewards, it bordered on excessive. He was referred to remedial training related to the use of the whip.

When questioned regarding the performance of GYARADOS (C Goon), Jockey C Goon advised that the mare had not raced since November last year and had shown no early pace. He suggested that GYARADOS was unsuited by the up-in-class but also that he was disappointed in the mare’s performance. Trainer SY Lim confirmed this statement and added that the barrier was against the mare and he considered being over further ground.

At the 400M, App M Lukman (YULONG HONOR) dropped his whip after he accidentally struck the saddle cloth of MAZANZE.

NEVERTHELESS (AK Lim) dipped at the winning post. Jockey AK Lim was questioned regarding his riding of NEVERTHELESS. He stated that he had been instructed to ride the gelding sparingly with the whip as it was inclined to race reluctantly. He was also of the opinion that NEVERTHELESS was reluctant to take the run and he had ridden the mare with a good contact. Whilst accepting this in part, the Stewards advised Jockey AK Lim that he must ride every horse so as to confirm that he had ridden in a positive manner.

MURDOCH (J Low) raced wide in the middle stages.

JJ STAR (Z Zuriman) raced wide in the middle stages. Jockey Z Zuriman (JJ STAR) was questioned as to the reason he had ridden in this manner, by being four-wide in the leading division for the entire race. He could offer no explanation other than that he did not wish to be blocked. In considering the issue, the Stewards was satisfied that they could substantiate a charge in terms of the rule, however, Jockey Z Zuriman was reprimanded for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards and advised that he is expected to ride diligently in every race.

A post-race veterinary examination of HAPPY BUFFALO (C Goon) 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.

The Stewards questioned Jockey KC Wong (LUCK MAK MAK) as to the performance of the gelding. He advised that after being tightened at the start, he had been further back than he had wished. Although making ground when clear in the straight, LUCK MAK MAK had been impeded somewhat in the middle stages and had made ground quickly. Trainer KP Hoy’s representative advised the Stewards that it was the gelding’s first start in Malaysia, and the gelding’s racing manner was unknown to the stable. In light of this, the Stewards advised that LUCK MAK MAK will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

INQUIRY INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING AN ALTERCATION BETWEEN TRAINER S EDWARDS AND TRAINER MW TEH ON 19 FEBRUARY 2020 AT SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SLTC) 

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into an altercation at trackwork on 19th February 2020.

Evidence was taken from Trainers S Edwards and MW Teh.  The Stewards also considered the video recordings of certain aspects of an exchange between the parties.

After considering the issue:

  • Trainer S Edwards was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner he addressed Trainer MW Teh.

  • Trainer MW Teh was warned under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct in the manner in which he addressed Trainer S Edwards.

  • Both Trainers were reminded that common SLTC facilities were available to all trainers who were obliged to share respectfully.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO TRAINER MW TEH’S MANNER TOWARDS A SYCE ON 4 MARCH 2020 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SLTC) 

Following a first-hand report from an attending Steward, Trainer MW Teh was questioned initially regarding the manner in which he addressed and referred to a Syce employed by another trainer on 4 March 2020.

After considering the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Trainer MW Teh had acted in an inappropriate verbal manner towards the Syce. Mr Teh was subsequently reprimanded under the provisions of MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for misconduct and advised that a repetition would lead to action being taken.

INQUIRY INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE PRE-RACE EXAMINATION OF TRINITY GRACE IN RACE 5 (R298) ON SATURDAY, 29 FEBRUARY 2020 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB (SPECIAL MEETING). 

The Stewards concluded the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the pre-race veterinary examination of TRINITY GRACE in the above race.

 In consultation with Dr Shri Kanth, Senior Veterinary Surgeon of SLTC, the Stewards identified from video footage that TRINITY GRACE was fractious after being placed in the stalls and exited rearward on two (2) occasions. On both occasions, TRINITY GRACE was examined by the Veterinarian at the start but from a considerable distance. 

The Stewards considered that a close-up examination of the gelding may have revealed the minor injury. 

As a result of the inquiry, Dr Shri undertook to formulate a Standard Operating Practice for Veterinarians attending at the start of races.

A post-race veterinary examination of NOVA HARBOUR (SU Lim) 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.

RACE 8 (R301) OPEN MAIDEN [WFA] – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

An objection was lodged by Jockey O Chavez, the rider of MINUTESTOMIDNIGHT, placed second against SAHM (Y Aify) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 250M mark. After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.

In the middle stages, WEATHER MAN (App N Varmah) raced fiercely.

Near the 300M, MINUTESTOMIDNIGHT shifted in and brushed SAHM. Shortly thereafter, SAHM commenced to drift out, carrying MINUTESTOMIDNIGHT outwards until the finish. The Stewards warned Jockey Y Aify that he must straighten his mounts when they shift.

MAGIC ECLIPSE (R Rueven) raced wide throughout. When questioned, Jockey R Rueven advised that it had been his intention to race closer to the fence but had been unable to secure a position with horses on his inside.

IMMORTALITY (C Goon) was slow to begin. When questioned, Jockey C Goon advised that the mare had showed no pace and he had pushed it hard from the start. He was also of the opinion that IMMORTALITY is best suited when making a late run and afforded clear space.

In the middle stages, WINTERFELL (App L De Souza) was ridden wide.

At the 600M, WINTERFELL and D’GREAT EMPRESS (R Shafiq) bumped heavily on several occasions. App L De Souza, the rider of WINTERFELL, was warned that he must afford runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

RAMZES (J Daniel) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers at the request of the rider and was passed fit to race.

LIGHTNING HERO (App K Pavinthran) and RAMZES were slow into stride.

GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) raced wide in the middle stages.

M SEVEN (App M Lukman) had to be steadied and then taken outwards to avoid the heels of the tiring GOOD VIBRATIONS between the 550M and 450M.

A post-race veterinary examination of PARISBAS (App R Nuqman) revealed that it 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 4 (R234)         CLASS 4 (A) – 1700M (LONG COURSE)

After declarations, Trainer C Leck was questioned as to the reasons he removed the Blinkers from WILLIAM KING (HS Gill) after the gelding won in its last start. He advised that he had been informed by Jockey HS Gill that although winning, WILLIAM KING had raced too fiercely over the 1600M and he was concerned that the gelding would again race in this manner with Blinkers over the longer course of 1700M. After considering this, the Stewards permitted WILLIAM KING to race without Blinkers but with additional Pacifiers, and confirmed that WILLIAM KING would be ridden close to the pace.

WILLIAM KING was inclined to lay inwards passing the 200M and was then carried outwards when SORBETA (App L De Souza) shifted ground over the final 150M. Jockey HS Gill advised that after leaning inwards, WILLIAM KING had shied away from the horse on its inside.

Jockey SU Lim (MACHUNG STAR) was questioned as to the reason he had led on MACHUNG STAR by a large margin in the middle stages. He stated that he had been instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable and even by leading as the horse was a noted front runner but was inclined to over-race. He considered that he had rated MACHUNG STAR appropriately, especially given that it was having its initial start over the 1700M distance.

Whilst accepting this evidence in part, the Stewards were of the opinion that Jockey SU Lim had ridden an ill-judged race when leading by this margin as the horse unaccustomed to this distance and believed that he should have ridden MACHUNG STAR more diligently in the middle sections of the race.

TOOBIGTOOFAIL (HS Gill) raced wide in the middle stages.

Jockey R Rueven was questioned regarding his riding of SUNTZU in the straight. He said that SUNTZU was a one-paced horse and he had urged it at several stages before straightening and although making some ground in the straight, he had tried to balance SUNTZU as it was inclined to tire over the 1300M. The Stewards noted Jockey R Rueven’s explanation.

A post-race veterinary examination of ELITE SILENCER (App A Zaimuddin) revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

This race was run in light rain.

After jumping awkwardly, BIG DALLAS (App R Nuqman) struck the hind-quarters of ASTRA (R Rueven) and became unbalanced, losing ground.

Jockey KC Wong, when questioned, advised that he had ridden SACRED GALAXY patiently and he had found himself rearward after steadying inside MAT SMART (J Daniel) near the 1100M. He had taken SACRED GALAXY wide after straightening as he considered the gelding resented the kickback. Further, his riding of SACRED GALAXY was consistent with his style on staying horses. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that SACRED GALAXY returned having cast its near fore plate.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of GUILTY PLEASURES, reported that after leading easily, the horse was not striding out freely in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of GUILTY PLEASURES revealed no significant finding.

SHOQEET was inclined to lay inwards in the straight causing him to stop and straighten on several occasions. Jockey O Chavez (SHOQEET) reported that his horse had shifted ground in the run to the first corner and in his opinion, was striding short. A post-race veterinary examination of SHOQEET 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.

The Stewards advised to moderate the use of the whip to App M Lukman (SUPERSTARDOM) and App M Akmazani (SACRED SURFER) and referred them for further specific training.

Jockey J De Souza (NOVA FALCON) reported that his horse did not handle the conditions of the track.

 

 RACE 8 (R238)   CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

 As the start was effected, CREATE ABUNDANCE (KC Wong) reared and bounded in the air when the gates opened, thereby losing considerable ground.

In the middle stages, HAPPY DAYZ (App K Pavinthran) raced fiercely with its head in the air.

Veterinary Surgeons:

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

RACE 1 (R191) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)

GOLD KIDS (HS Gill) and WHAT (App S Uzair) were slow to begin.

When racing fiercely near the 1200M, AMI ELEVEN (App WW Cheah) steadied behind EXCALIBUR (R Rueven) and was taken out by that horse, inconveniencing STREET OF LONDON (KC Wong). Shortly after this, EXCALIBUR continued to shift in, causing STREET CHAMP (App A Suriya) to miss stride. Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for tightening horses at this stage.

FORTUNE SPIRIT (S Salee) raced wide in the early stages.

Near the 1000M, AMI ELEVEN which continued to race fiercely, steadied inside CALM AND TRANQUIL (App CK Khaw).

At the 600M, AMI ELEVEN steadied when striding onto the heels of STREET CHAMP.

EXCALIBUR shifted out quickly passing the 100M.

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of GOLD KIDS, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of GOLD KIDS revealed no significant finding.

RACE 2 (R192) CLASS 5 (A) – 1800M (LONG COURSE)

LIM’S FAIRLY (App R Nuqman) was slow to begin.

At the 1250M, PARAGON STAR (SU Lim) brushed the running rail.

Near the 1000M, JEFFREY (KC Wong) raced fiercely.

At the concluding stages, Jockey SU Lim (PARAGON STAR) dropped his near side rein. The Stewards advised Jockey SU Lim to make a more concentrated and diligent effort in his riding.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of ROOTER, reported that his horse was not striding out freely and showed no interest in the race. A post-race veterinary examination of ROOTER revealed no significant finding.

RACE 3 (R193) COMBINED CLASSES 2 & 3 – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

ARIF (R Rueven) was unable to be loaded in the stall and was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:51pm. ARIF will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

When racing behind STORMY BELLA (R Rueven) near the 800M, D’GREAT JOURNEY (R Shafiq) threw its head up and then laid inwards. Jockey R Shafiq advised that the gelding had a very soft mouth and reacted in this manner.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that INDIAN JEWEL returned having cast its near fore plate.

A post-race veterinary examination of LONE PACER revealed that the gelding returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and with laceration near hind, and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

JEDI (Y Sakito) was slow to begin and failed to race competitively in the early stages. JEDI which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.

ZILFIKAR (HS Gill) and AIDEHOUR (App A Zaimuddin) were slow into stride.

Approaching the 1000M, GOLDEN PEAK (J De Souza) steadied slightly when crossed by TRINITY GENERAL (App L De Souza). At the same time, D’GREAT OCEAN (J Low) steadied marginally.

Passing the 200M, GOLDEN PEAK shifted in. TAOCA WARRIOR (App P Mogun) had to switch across that gelding’s heels in order to obtain a clear passage and in doing so, veered out quickly, interfering with BAGHDAD (R Rueven). The Stewards were satisfied that TAOCA WARRIOR had over-reacted to the move of App P Mogun due to his inexperience.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that AIDEHOUR returned having cast its near hind plate.

Shortly after the start, THANK YOU BOSS (App S Uzair) and CONFLIGHT (O Chavez) buffeted and bumped the hind-quarters of SATTAR (J De Souza).

WHY NOT (KC Wong) raced wide throughout.

When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq (LARSON) advised that he thought that horses were coming across from the outside and had steadied LARSON. The gelding had thrown its head at this stage and he felt that it may have struck itself and subsequently lost considerable ground. In the straight, LARSON was blocked for a run over the final 50M

App A Zaimuddin the rider of BIG TRUCK, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of BIG TRUCK 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.

Running to the 800M, TILSWORTH JACOBI (App M Akmazani) shifted in causing SUPER HERO (KC Wong) and D’GREAT EFFORT (R Shafiq) to be restrained. TILSWORTH JACOBI then checked itself inside ORIENTAL SPIRIT (App AR Aiman) and when losing ground, further inconvenienced D’GREAT EFFORT. On inquiry, it was established that TILSWORTH JACOBI had taken charge of App M Akmazani and pulled its way forward to the inside causing this chain of incidents. In considering that, TILSWORTH JACOBI had been a subject of a similar inquiry (Race 11 on 8/9/2019), the Stewards informed Trainer F Maynard that he must engage a senior rider for TILSWORTH JACOBI in future.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that LADRONE (O Chavez) returned with a cut to its near hind leg.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that CRAZY DREAMS (App WW Cheah) which collapsed after the race, returned with heat stress and dehydration, and as such will be required to undergo a veterinary examination (after 2 weeks embargo) before being declared to race again.

Near the 750M, ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in and caused KUTTNER (App L De Souza) to check. MEWTWO (HS Gill) which was following, had to be restrained. An inquiry into this incident was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

When blocked for a clear run near the 200M behind HYDRANT (App CK Khaw), PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was taken outwards, brushing TRINITY FLYING causing it to be steadied. PERFECT RUN continued to shift out, brushing KUTTNER. On inquiry, the Stewards reprimanded App WW Cheah for shifting out at this stage.

(Rail at 4M Short Course)

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 (R181)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

 SUPER EIGHT (App L De Souza) was slow into stride.

Near the 800M, SATELLITE GOLDEN (HS Gill) threw its head up when racing fiercely.

At the 250M, DANE’S ANATOMY (R Rueven) had to be steadied outwards when AIR POWER (App CK Khaw) drifted slightly.

EAGLE SOAR (J De Souza) had to be taken out across the heels of BELIEVE IT OR NOT (SU Lim) to obtain clear running near the 100M.

When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq stated that EMPEROR WARRIOR was sitting back at the start and was slow to begin. Subsequently, he had been further back than anticipated but had tried to improve as he believed the pace to be only moderate. EMPEROR WARRIOR had then commenced to race fiercely, but on straightening the gelding had compounded badly.

Trainer WC Lim advised that EMPEROR WARRIOR was a nervous horse and its racing performance may have been affected by its barrier manners. He stated that EMPEROR WARRIOR had raced consistently for some time and it was now his intention to send the gelding for a spell.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of ELEGENT, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of ELEGENT 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.

WILL BE BETTER (App M Lukman) raced wide throughout.

BUKIT SUBANG (R Shafiq) was inclined to lay inwards and near the 275M, steadied behind DAYFLIRT (S Salee) and had to be taken outwards across the heels of WILL BE BETTER when that gelding shifted in.

Jockeys R Shafiq and HS Gill, the rider of BUKIT SUBANG and NOVA EAGLE respectively, reported that their horses were not striding out freely.

 RACE 3 (R183)         CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)

Acting on veterinary advice that CLASSIC KING (R Rueven) was lame off hind, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 1:30pm. CLASSIC KING will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

HAPPY GHOST (App A Zaimuddin) which was standing very awkwardly, missed the start and was ridden rearward. The Stewards addressed this issue with the Club Starter.

D’GREAT SONG (R Shafiq) travelled wide in the middle stages. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT SONG revealed no significant finding.

Passing the 250M, SILVER POWER (App M Lukman) was inclined to drift out over the final 100M, carrying JUST DUIT (App CK Khaw) outwards. App M Lukman was reprimanded for failing to straighten his mount.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HK Cheng, the rider of READY TO RULE, pleaded guilty to a charge of improper riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(b)(ii) in that:

  1. He applied undue pressure to SCORPION KING (SU Lim) near the 850M and continued to pressurize that gelding, bumping with it heavily near the 800M.
  2. Passing the 650M, when on the inside of SCORPION KING, he crossed in quickly when insufficiently clear causing that gelding to check severely and blundered.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HK Cheng’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of eight (8) Malaysian race days with effect from 17 February 2020 and to expire on 15 March 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 (4:30pm).

D’GREAT OPULENT (R Shafiq) was slow into stride.

On inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of METAGROSS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that running to the 850M, he shifted in, crowding LUCKY JUSTICE (J De Souza) which bumped with BEAUTIFUL ONE (J Low).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’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 17 February 2020 and to expire on 23 February 2020, both dates inclusive.

METAGROSS was inclined to shift inwards over the concluding stages.

The Stewards questioned App A Suriya (UNSHADOWED GENERAL), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer C Leck, related to the riding of UNSHADOWED GENERAL in the straight. He stated that after riding to instructions from the rearward position, he had ridden vigourously with the whip in the early part of the straight and UNSHADOWED GENERAL commenced to make ground quickly, however, he had progressed very quickly behind FLASH ONE (R Rueven) when on the outside of BEAUTIFUL ONE (J Low). At this stage, he had to steady UNSHADOWED GENERAL near the 75M as he believed he had insufficient room to go to the inside of that gelding without causing interference to BEAUTIFUL ONE.

After considering this evidence and the fact that UNSHADOWED GENERAL was making ground quickly, the Stewards considered that App A Suriya had not erred in steadying at this stage.

SATELLITE KINGDOM was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the request of Jockey SU Lim and was passed fit to race.

DAZZLING SPEED (App CK Khaw) was slightly slow to begin and shortly thereafter, bumped by SATELLITE KINGDOM (SU Lim). DAZZLING SPEED raced fiercely and pulled its way to the outside of the leader.

App AR Aiman (BRINGER OF WAR) dropped his whip at the 100M mark. After consideration of this incident, the Stewards deemed that App AR Aiman was inexperience and as such instructed that after the weekend’s racing that he fulfill a training regime related to the use of his whip.

Jockey R Shafiq reported that UNSURPASSED was not striding out freely in the final stages and he eased the gelding at the 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of UNSURPASSED 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.

A post-race veterinary examination of ALLIED POWER (Y Sakito) 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.

When the start was effected, FIRST LIGHT (J De Souza) slipped badly and then jumped awkwardly, losing considerable ground due to a lose of a piece of turf at this section as reported by the Club Starter.

SATELLITE GENIUS (HS Gill) raced fiercely with its head in the air. Jockey HS Gill advised that he wished to secure cover but SATELLITE GENIUS had been unable to do so as the gelding raced too fiercely, also SATELLITE GENIUS was inclined to hang out from the 800M until straightening.

FIRST LIGHT was inclined to lay inwards when struck with the whip over the concluding stages.

RACE 10 (R190)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M Approximate (SHORT COURSE)

 To facilitate a safe start, the stalls were shifted forward approximately 5M and an announcement was made to this effect.
