Veterinary Surgeons:

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

RACE 1 (R165) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

As there was no other suitable rider available, specific permission was granted by the Racing Stewards for Jockey HK Cheng to be the replacement rider of MONTE CARLO as Jockey R Rueven was stood down by the Club Doctor.

MONTE CARLO (HK Cheng) was slow to begin. Jockey HK Cheng advised that after being slow, he was unable to secure a midfield position and had been stuck behind tiring horses until straightening.

The saddle on GOOD LUCKY (App L De Souza) shifted back shortly the after start, placing App L De Souza at some difficulty and he subsequently rode the gelding wide in the middle stages.

Shortly after the start, when struck with the whip, SONG KID (App CK Khaw) shifted in and crowded D’GREAT ELEGANCE (J Low) which was inclined to race fiercely and shifted in causing ENDURANCE (Z Zuriman) to be restrained. D’GREAT ELEGANCE continued to race fiercely until the 1000M. App CK Khaw was reprimanded and advised that a repetition of such riding would lead to suspension.

PERFECT GIRL (C Goon) threw its head at the start, losing ground and raced fiercely in the early stages.

GOOD LUCKY raced wide in the middle stages.

Over the final stages, LUCKY VICTORY (HS Gill) rolled out, brushing PERFECT GIRL.

A post-race veterinary examination of PERFECT GIRL revealed that the mare 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.

A post-race veterinary examination of ENDURANCE 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.

Race	Horse	Up (+) / Down (-) (in kgs)

Note: The above horse(s) was/were checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was/were passed fit to start.

RACE 2 (R166) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

E SUPREME (SU Lim) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the request of the rider prior to the race and was passed fit to race.

Although jumping well, WINNING TANGO (C Goon) shifted outwards from its outside barrier and then was ridden wide throughout. Jockey C Goon was advised that he must straighten his mount more quickly.

BIG CENTURY (App L De Souza) was slow to begin and had to be ridden vigourously to obtain a position in the field.

When struck with the whip near the 250M, HAPPY GHOST (App A Zaimuddin) shifted in and had to be restrained off the heels of WAR LORD (J Daniel). App A Zaimuddin was reminded of his obligations to exercise caution when using his whip.

When questioned, Jockey SU Lim stated the E SUPREME had begun quickly and although he had pressed the gelding early, it had shown no early speed and the horse gave him the impression that it was not fit. Trainer MP Thwaites advised that today’s distance was too short for E SUPREME, however, he was disappointed that the horse had not effectively been competitive at any stage. In light of the poor performance, Trainer MP Thwaites was advised that E SUPREME will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race.

RACE 3 (R167) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

ELITE ROCKET (App R Nuqman) veered outwards, bumping NEW SENSATION (J Low) at the start.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Daniel, the rider of SNAGGLE PUSS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1100M, he shifted in causing TAIL SPIN (R Shafiq) to be checked and struck the hind-quarters of NEW SENSATION.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Daniel’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, his previous good 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 3 February 2020 and to expire on 9 February 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:30pm).

TAIL SPIN then shifted out and this caused DETERMINETOSTRIKE (App L De Souza) to be taken wide. DETERMINETOSTRIKE raced wide in the straight.

RACE 4 (R168) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

Trainers S Dunderdale and MW Teh were each fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on SEMANTAN PRINCE (Y Sakito) and DUNE SAGA (J Daniel) respectively.

Shortly after the start, SEMANTAN PRINCE (Y Sakito), FIGHTING WARRIOR (App L De Souza) and SPIN FIRE (HS Gill) buffeted.

FIGHTING WARRIOR (App L De Souza) was ridden wide and on the pace between the 1000M and the turn into the straight. App L De Souza stated that it was his first ride on the gelding and after jumping well, FIGHTING WARRIOR had commenced to race very fiercely and although wishing to take cover, he had been unable to restrain FIGHTING WARRIOR sufficiently. The gelding had subsequently been left in a 3-wide position and striding outside the leader. Trainer S Dunderdale was advised to ensure that he retains a strong rider on FIGHTING WARRIOR in future.

RACE 5 (R169) CLASS 3 – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

BIG DALLAS (HS Gill) was slow into stride and raced with its head in the air for the first few strides.

In the early stages, LIM’S EVOLUTION raced wide outside the pace.

LIM’S PERSHING steadied from the heels of SATELLITE BOY (R Shafiq) near the 1050M. Shortly after this, LIM’S PERSHING laid in, crowding BAHAR (Y Sakito) which shifted in and carried LISBOA STAR (App L De Souza) inwards and this caused GOD HELPS ME (App CK Khaw) which was racing fiercely, to be restrained. On inquiry, Jockey J Low was reminded to afford all runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

Jockey C Goon, the rider of LIM’S EVOLUTION, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S EVOLUTION revealed no significant finding.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider of LIM’S PERSHING, pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(i) in that passing the 250M, he shifted in, crowding GUILTY PLEASURES (SU Lim) which in turn shifted in causing LIM’S EVOLUTION (C Goon) to be tightened and checked severely, nearly falling. In this incident, PREMIUM STARS (J Daniel) and SATELLITE BOY (R Shafiq) buffeted. BAHAR (Y Sakito) which was following, was then blocked for a clear run.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, his poor previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 10 February 2020 and to expire on 9 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 (5:30pm).

In the early stages, LIM’S BATTLE which was pulling hard, raced wide.

RACE 1 (R126) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHINESE NEW YEAR STAKES

Prior to the race, Mr Nagarajan a/l Supromaniam, the Stable Supervisor for Trainer PS Kumaran, when questioned as to the reason for the removal of cross-nose band for CONCORDE (R Rueven) given that on the 1 December 2019, during an inquiry into the tactics adopted on CONCORDE, it had been stated that the gelding had to race in a cross-nose band as it raced fiercely. Mr Nagarajan gave assurance the removal of cross-nose band would not affect Jockey R Rueven’s ability to control CONCORDE.

After being slow to begin, CONCORDE raced fiercely approaching the 900M, throwing its head. When questioned, Jockey R Rueven advised that he had been instructed not to ride aggressively at the start in an endeavour to allow it to settle. CONCORDE had been standing awkwardly and had missed the start.

ELF’S DREAM (J De Souza) had to be ridden hard in the early stages when reluctant to settle.

At the 650M, CONCORDE was inclined to lay in, bumping GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) which became unbalanced.

L’KEN (App A Zaimuddin) was ridden wide in the middle stages.

GERMAN SPEED (App R Nuqman) was inclined to hang out from the 500M.

Near the 250M, ELF’S DREAM rolled in, bumping HENNESSY DRAGON (J Daniel).

Jockey J Daniel, the rider of HENNESSY DRAGON, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of HENNESSY DRAGON revealed no significant finding.

At the 275M, MURDOCH (SU Lim) dipped for no reason and shifted inwards, striking the running rail.

Jockey O Chavez (SHOWAR) reported that although SHOWAR had travelled well in the early stages, it had commenced to shorten its stride from the 450M and he believed the gelding to be sore. A post-race veterinary examination of SHOWAR 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.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of PEER GYNT, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of PEER GYNT revealed no significant finding.

RACE 9 (R134) OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR STAKES

FARDUS (R Rueven) was slow to begin and dipped when striding onto the heels of MAPLE RISING (App CK Khaw) near the 750M.

On jumping, BURBANK (App M Lukman) veered outwards, inconveniencing MAPLE RISING and SECKILL (App A Zaimuddin).

Approaching the 550M, MAPLE RISING laid inwards, causing SECKILL to check. As a result, BURBANK was inconvenienced. App CK Khaw (MAPLE RISING) was reminded of his obligations to afford runners on his inside sufficient galloping room.

At the 275M, FIRST SUCCESS (Y Sakito) rolled in, brushing the running rail.

TRINITY GENERAL (App L De Souza) drifted out at the concluding 100M.

Jockey J De Souza (LEOPARD ECLIPSE) dropped his whip two (2) strides before the finish when it struck the saddle cloth of KING’S ORDER (SU Lim). He was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(11) for failing to report this to the Stewards.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of KING’S ORDER (SU Lim), Trainer C Leck stated that early in its career, KING’S ORDER looked promising, racing competitively in 3 year-old quality races, however, the gelding had lost form and had been sent for a spell. On returning, KING’S ORDER had failed to find its form and was considered by its riders as being tended to be uncompetitive and not racing into the bit. He had added with blinkers/pacifiers before today’s start in the hope that it would improve its attitude towards the race. The considerable improvement was a surprise to him.

RACE 10 (R135) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

GREAT SUCCESS STAKES

BELLA VELOCE (App AR Aiman) threw its head at the start, losing considerable ground. When questioned, App AR Aiman advised that although BELLA VELOCE had thrown its head, he did not have hold of the breast-check as instructed. The Stewards considered that this failure had compounded the problem and instructed that App AR Aiman to complete training including satisfactory barrier trials before being permitted to ride in races again.

GROUND ATTACK (O Chavez) raced wide from the 800M until the 650M. Jockey O Chavez (GROUND ATTACK) reported that the bit was inclined to pull through the gelding’s mouth and after securing cover near the 650M, he had then taken GROUND ATTACK out on straightening but the gelding failed to improve.

Near the 175M, ELITE SILENCER (App R Nuqman) rolled in, crowding MOGAN’S PRIDE (App CK Khaw).

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App S Uzair, the rider of BAADSHAH, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that over the concluding stages of the race, he allowed BAADSHAH to shift out and thereby caused D’GREAT COMMAND (R Shafiq) to be restrained at the 25M mark.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Uzair’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) Selangor race days with effect from 2 February 2020 and to expire on 8 February 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:15pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 3 (R107) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

Jockey J De Souza (FIRST SUCCESS) who lodged an appeal against his suspension of 2 Malaysian race days for careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii), applied to withdraw his appeal on 26 January 2020. After consideration by the Selangor Turf Club Racing Stewards, his application was acceded to and his deposit was refunded. His suspension will commence from 27 January 2020 and to expire on 2 February 2020, both dates inclusive

RACE 8 (R112) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards, on 22 January 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into App L De Souza’s riding of CATAPULT in the above race. Evidence was taken from App L De Souza, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines who is also the Trainer of CATAPULT.

Trainer R Lines stated that although CATAPULT’s best distance was 1200M, it had an inclination to be slow to begin. Further that at its previous start, the gelding had been ascertained to be suffering from respiratory distress, and he subsequently changed his feeding and training regime.

App L De Souza stated that CATAPULT had dwelt slightly but from his outside barrier, he had hoped to be slightly behind midfield. He had to push CATAPULT then hit the gelding near the 800M, thereafter taking it wide in order to progress.

Whilst accepting these explanations, the Stewards advised App L De Souza that their concern centered around his apparent change of riding style in the straight, albeit at that, he had struck CATAPULT numerous times with the whip.

App L De Souza was warned that he must ride his mounts out in a strong positive manner to leave no doubt as to his true purpose.

RACE 4 (R098) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 18 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards, on 23 January 2020 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into Jockey R Shafiq’s riding of MARTIN VJ in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey R Shafiq and Trainer PS Kumaran, the rider and trainer of MARTIN VJ respectively, and Mr Nagarajan a/l Supromaniam, Stable Supervisor for Trainer PS Kumaran.

Trainer PS Kumaran advised that he had instructed that MARTIN VJ be ridden where it was comfortable believing it to be mid-to-back from its outside draw. Jockey R Shafiq stated that MARTIN VJ, after jumping fairly, had been in a rearward position where he had secured cover, but attempted to quicken from the 600M and although taking the turn into the straight wide, he believed that the gelding was travelling well. Shortly after this, he had pushed MARTIN VJ but near the 300M, the gelding exhaled heavily. Thereafter MARTIN VJ was inclined to shift ground and it was laboring, breathing heavier until the last 100M, where he felt something amiss with the gelding. He reported this to the Stewards and a subsequent veterinary examination revealed no significant finding.

During the course of the inquiry, Trainer PS Kumaran advised that his Supervisor, Mr Nagarajan had reported to him that MARTIN VJ had returned from the races without its tongue-tie. On inquiry into this late report, it was ascertained that Mr Nagarajan had applied the tongue-tie himself but found it to be missing when MARTIN VJ returned. He had not reported or advised anyone of this at that time.

Trainer PS Kumaran was fined RM2000/- under MRA Rule 35(7) for failing to report that MARTIN VJ had lost its tongue-tie during the race. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:04pm). Trainer PS Kumaran and Mr Nagarajan were instructed that they must ensure all equipment and gear was properly fitted to every runner. Further, MARTIN VJ will be required to pass 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

ADDENDUM

RACE 3 (R107) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

The Stewards spoke to Trainer C Leck, the Trainer of BANGALORE and addressed an issue related to App A Suriya striking the filly several times in the stalls prior to the start being effected. App A Suriya was directed that he should not strike a horse with the whip prior to the gates opening in an attempt to ensure it jumps as this is potentially dangerous and in the case of BANGALORE, when striking forward of the shoulder, it caused the filly to miss the start. He was advised that a repetition would lead to a suspension.

ADDENDUM

RACE 6 (R110) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 19 JANUARY 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020

RACE 1 (R105) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

MR CONNERY (App L De Souza) raced wide in the early stages.

At the concluding stages, MURDOCH (O Chavez) was inclined to lay inwards, crowding WIRA SAKTI and brushed with the gelding near the 20M. Jockey O Chavez was reminded of his obligations to straighten his mount when he shifts.

An objection was lodged by Jockey R Shafiq, the rider of WIRA SAKTI, placed second, against MURDOCH (O Chavez), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at the concluding stages. 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.

App AR Aiman (JEFFREY) who was dislodged when pulling up, was examined by the Club Doctor who passed him fit to fulfill his riding engagements for the remainder of the races today.

Jockey AK Lim, the rider of M SEVEN, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of M SEVEN (AK 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 3 (R107) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Prior to the start of this race, Jockey O Chavez (AMAZING ECLIPSE) reported to the Starter that his lead bag was sitting forward of the saddle, however, AMAZING ECLIPSE was very unruly and proved difficult to reset the saddle. Jockey O Chavez confirmed that he was satisfied to ride the mare with the lead bag in its position, given that it did not pose any risk.

JET TWENTY (App CK Khaw) dipped twice shortly after the start.

After being slow to begin, BANGALORE (App A Suriya) had to be ridden vigourously and to keep in touch.

AMAZING ECLIPSE (O Chavez) was slow into stride, thereafter raced wide from 900M till straightening and laid inwards in the straight. When questioned as to the performance of AMAZING ECLIPSE, Jockey O Chavez stated that the mare was unruly at the start and tended to lay outwards and subsequently missed the start. Although his instructions were to ride mid-to-back, he found himself in a rearward position and in a slow pace, and he had elected to go wide and forward from the 800M. Further, as AMAZING ECLIPSE had raced erratically in the straight, he had to stop and straighten on several occasions. Trainer F Maynard advised that AMAZING ECLIPSE was a very sensitive mare and may have been tested on the 1600M second up.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of FIRST SUCCESS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1050M, he rolled in and crowded OSCAR ECLIPSE (J Low) which in turn shifted ground causing JET TWENTY to be restrained.

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 two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 27 January 2020 and to expire on 2 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 (7:11pm).

At the 1000M, BANGALORE and ICHIKA BACHIKA (Y Sakito) were buffeted with ICHIKA BACHIKA becoming unbalanced.

Between the 250M and the 100M, GLOBAL ARMY (App A Zaimuddin) and BEAUTIFUL ONE (App S Uzair) drifted in causing GHOST BAY (App R Nuqman) to be blocked and taken outwards to obtain a clear run.

This race was rescheduled to start at 2:35pm.

AMAZING DRAGON (R Rueven) was slow into stride.

STREET BLADE (KC Wong) dipped shortly after the start.

Near the 650M, TRINITY GENERAL (SU Lim) checked. It was established that SOMAR (App S Rosmizan) which was racing on the inside of WEATHER MAN (O Chavez), shifted in at this stage tightening TRINITY GENERAL. In considering this incident, the Stewards could not blame any one rider.

An objection was lodged by Jockey SU Lim, the rider of TRINITY GENERAL, placed fourth, against WEATHER MAN (O Chavez) placed third, on the grounds of alleged indirect interference from WEATHER MAN at the 650M. 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.

AMAZING DRAGON had to be steadied when SOMAR shifted in near the 175M.

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of WEATHER MAN, reported that his horse was making abnormal respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of WEATHER MAN revealed that the horse returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

RACE 1 (R095) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

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

Approaching the 800M, FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) rolled out, bumping BUKIT SUBANG which in turn shifted, carrying TRINITY ROCKET (SU Lim) which checked from the heels of GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza). In assessing this incident, the Stewards considered that FRENCH VINTAGE, in shifting out, had tightened the horse on its outside, whereby TRINITY ROCKET had to steady from GOOD VIBRATIONS which had been hanging in prior to this.

D’GREAT STRIKE raced fiercely with its head in the air and was taken wide from the 700M, and was inclined to lay inwards in the straight with Jockey R Shafiq having to straighten on several occasions.

CAVATINA (App P Mogun) was forced to race wide.

A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT STRIKE 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 Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MIROTIC (App CK Khaw) returned having cast its near hind plate.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Rosmizan’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

CHERON WARRIOR (App CK Khaw) was unruly prior to the start.

LINCOLN CITY (KC Wong) dwelt on jumping, losing considerable ground.

Although pushed hard in the early stages, BEIJING STAR (C Goon) was reluctant to go forward, racing in rearward positon. When questioned regarding the performance of BEIJING STAR, Trainer S Edwards advised that the gelding was having its second start after a severe tendon injury and was again disappointing.

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:05pm.

After dipping at the start, ASHHAB (HS Gill) was bumped when FUNKADELIC (C Goon) shifted out quickly and shortly after, steadied when crowded by SUNTZU (App S Rosmizan). When questioned regarding the performance of ASHHAB, Jockey HS Gill advised that after being interfered with at the start, ASHHAB was reluctant to progress and failed to respond to his urging. On straightening, he had taken the gelding wide, looking for a clear passage, and although the gelding had run somewhat in the straight, it had peaked on its run near the 200M.

STAR INVINCIBLE (App CK Khaw) and MARTIN VJ (R Shafiq) were slow to begin.

MARTIN VJ raced wide until straightening. Jockey R Shafiq was questioned regarding his ride on MARTIN VJ. He stated that he had been instructed to see how the gelding jumped and to ride it where it was “comfortable”. MARTIN VJ had been slow into stride and failed to show early pace being ridden rearward by the 1000M, he had progressed into the race well and after riding MARTIN VJ strongly on straightening, it had not responded and was inclined to be one-paced. Further, the gelding had shifted in when struck with the whip causing him to steady. He reported that MARTIN VJ had made a bad noise. A post-race veterinary examination of MARTIN VJ revealed no significant finding. This inquiry was adjourned to allow for MARTIN VJ’s Trainer, PS Kumaran to be called.

On jumping, AFFLECK (R Rueven) shifted inwards, crowding DIRECTOR (App R Nuqman) which contacted BEST TOTHELIGN (App L De Souza). After taking into consideration Jockey R Rueven’s excellent riding record, the Stewards issued a warning rather than preferring a charge of careless riding.

After being slow to begin, PERFECT GIRL (KC Wong) was ridden wide and stumbled near the 800M and again on straightening.

When questioned, Jockey KC Wong advised that the mare was agitated prior to being loaded after being upset by an adjacent horse, she had subsequently thrown her head at the start and he had been unable to secure a position in the field. He said that further, PERFECT GIRL felt funny in his action on straightening and shortened her stride over the final 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of PERFECT GIRL revealed no significant finding. PERFECT GIRL was impounded for routine analytical and veterinary examination, and will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.

When making ground in the straight, LIM’S MASTER ran onto the heels of DETERMINETOSTRIKE (App L De Souza).

HAPPY DAYZ (App A Suriya) was slow to begin.

Shortly after the start, D’GREAT COMMAND (R Shafiq) and ELITE SILENCER (App R Nuqman) buffeted.

D’GREAT COMMAND was inclined to race erratically in the straight, and on several occasions, impeded ELITE SILENCER which had to be taken wide.

HORSEH (HS Gill) raced wide and took the turn into the straight wide. When questioned, Jockey HS Gill stated that he had intended to ride midfield with cover, however, runners had kicked up on his inside, and he had not wished to ease back and was unable to progress forward. As such, HORSEH was obliged to cover a considerable amount of ground.

A post-race veterinary examination of NORTHERN KNIGHT (C Goon) revealed no significant finding.

As there was no other suitable rider available without setting a precedent, specific permission was granted by the Racing Stewards for Jockey HK Cheng to be the replacement rider of KHUDAWAND as Jockey R Shafiq was stood down by the Club Doctor.

POKEMON BABY (AK Lim) which was unable to be loaded, will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again. The gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:06pm.

HAYTHAM (B Pinheiro) and ZA’EM (J De Souza) were slow to begin.

DUNE SAGA (App CK Khaw) and HAYTHAM were inclined to lay inwards in the straight.

When questioned as to why he was so far back, Jockey B Pinheiro advised that he had been instructed to ride the gelding where it was comfortable as its previous starts had been less than ideal. He had been blocked early and although in a rearward position, believed that with the very fast early pace would allow him to make ground in the straight.

Trainer AB Abdullah confirmed these instructions and advised that HAYTHAM was a very big horse which he had trouble in its training. Given the performance, the Stewards advised that HAYTHAM will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again due to racing intractability.

App S Rosmizan (SUPER LINE), when questioned, advised that from his wide barrier draw, he wanted to have SUPER LINE race handy but he had been unable to secure a forward position and he felt that the nature of the track (yielding) had adversely affected the gelding’s ability to race with a fast early pace

Jockey HS Gill (BIG BUS) advised that BIG BUS had thrown its head prior to the start being effected and fly-jumped, resulting in him being in a rearward positon rather than being handy. Whilst this had not been ideal for BIG BUS, he believed that the fast early pace would allow BIG BUS to make ground in the straight. The gelding had been uncomfortable that the “sticky” nature of the track.

L’KEN (C Goon) was slow to begin.

Jockey HK Cheng was questioned regarding his riding of READY TO ROLL. He stated that he had been instructed to ride off the pace, however, after jumping extremely well, READY TO ROLL had pulled very hard and despite his efforts, it led by a considerable margin. He believed that the increase in distance from its previous start, allowed it to lead easily and it had not been his intention to ride in this manner.

After being slow to begin, HAPPY BUFFALO (C Goon) commenced to hung outwards from the 1000M, finishing on the outside fence in the straight. As HAPPY BUFFALO had performed in this manner and in view of its previous history, the Stewards advised Trainer SY Lim that HAPPY BUFFALO will be required to pass 2 1000M/vet tests before being declared to race again for its racing intractability.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of MR WOLFF, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of MR WOLFF revealed no significant finding.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Y Sakito, the rider of RAKAMA, placed second, against Jockey J Low (D’GREAT RISE) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference over the final 150M 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.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider of D’GREAT RISE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in over the final 100M and from the 25M, crowded RAKAMA (Y Sakito).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’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 23 December 2019 and to expire on 29 December 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:15pm).

Jockey R Rueven and App S Uzair were warned that they must ensure that they keep their mounts straight on jumping.

TALISMAN raced wide in the early stages.

The Stewards opened an inquiry into a mix-up with saddles GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) and READY TO STAR (HK Cheng) from Trainer R Lines’ stables.

SUNDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding

[Course A: Following a track inspection by the Stipendiary Stewards and Track Manager under the provisions of MRA Rule 12(2)(a), it was determined that the distances of 1400M on the long course and 1200M on the short course (starting from the same position), will be approximately 20M shorter to ensure a stable starting point.]

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

Veterinary Surgeons:

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr Edwards Samuel.

RACE 1 (R1567) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (Approx) (LONG COURSE A)

MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) and LADY LIBERTY (R Rueven) were slow into stride.

In the early stages, SGFIFTY (AK Lim) raced wide. A post-race veterinary examination of SGFIFTY 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.

TRINITY DRAGON (SU Lim) was inclined to lay outwards from the 700M, and drifted wide in the straight.

MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) shifted in between 300M and the 150M, causing MUSANG KING (S Anandan) to be steadied.

GOLD POWER (R Shafiq) carried MR CONNERY (App L De Souza) in marginally passing the 200M.

RACE 2 (R1568) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (Approx) (LONG COURSE A)

The reins on ASIAN JET (R Rueven) had to be changed prior to this race. When questioned, Trainer P Lee advised that he was unaware of the restrictions at SLTC but was warned that he must use only reins with loops.

TWENTYSIXTWELVE (C Goon) veered outwards at the start, carrying MY GOODNESS (SU Lim) out onto WINNING TANGO (S Muniandy). Jockey C Goon was reminded of his obligations to straighten his mounts as quickly as possible.

LINCOLN CITY (O Chavez) was slow into stride and then steadied off the heels of SHANGHAI NIGHTS (HS Gill).

ORION (R Shafiq) raced wide in the early stages.

SWEET LODGE (S Anandan) was impeded near the 300M and had to be taken outwards to obtain a clear run and then shifted in near the 50M, crowding ORION. Jockey S Anandan was reprimanded for failing to straighten quickly.

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.

Passing the 100M when blocked, SACRED EMPIRE (R Rueven) was taken out and bumped D’GREAT TIMING (J Low) wide. Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for shifting at this stage and was advised that a repetition will lead to a suspension.

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. Although making ground, he had been impeded in the straight.

BURGUNDY HEIGHTS (Y Sakito) raced wide in the middle stages.

Acting on veterinary advice that HAYTHAM (Z Khairil) was lame off fore, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding 3:04pm. HAYTHAM will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

BIG BUS (C Goon) fly-jumped at the start.

TAIL SPIN (S Salee) raced wide in the middle stages. When questioned, Jockey S Salee advised that BIG BUS had kicked up on the inside and held him wide and he had been unable to proceed forward or to restrain behind BIG BUS. As such he was obliged to race wide to maintain his momentum.

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.

After jumping awkwardly, HAPPY DAYZ (App N Varmah) raced wide in the middle stages.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that DONT MIND IFIDO (App M Lukman) returned having cast its off hind plate.

A post-race veterinary examination of SWIFT EMBRACE (App R Nuqman) 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.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J Low, the rider pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that on straightening, FUSION POWER (J Low) shifted out, bumping PROVOCATEUR (S Salee) outwards which in turn interfered with METAGROSS (App L De Souza).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J Low’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) Malaysian race days with effect from 16 December 2019 and to expire on 28 December 2019, both dates inclusive.

Jockey R Shafiq stated that KITA TEAMWORK was inclined to lay outwards mid-race and slipped slightly on straightening. Although he considered the mare was travelling well near the 300M. As soon as he had pushed KITA TEAMWORK and shorten his stride, he had therefore eased the mare down. A post-race veterinary examination of KITA TEAMWORK revealed no significant finding.

The Stewards, on 11 December 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, inquired into the running and handling of SHENBAO. Evidence was taken from Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SHENBAO and Trainer S Edwards, the Trainer of SHENBAO.

Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SHENBAO, 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 when he rode SHENBAO, he appeared to not give the mare sufficient rein to stride out in the straight after having held onto the mare tightly on straightening.

RACE 1 (R1545) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Due to a clerical error, the Stewards permitted the removal of blinkers from COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez). At the start, the tongue-tie on COMMODORE LINCOLN had to be refitted when it was ascertained to be loose.

ENCOSTA ZONE (Z Khairil) dwelt at the start, losing considerable ground in the early stages.

LIM’S BULLET (App A Zaimuddin) was slow into stride.

GOLD MOSA (App CK Khaw) was forced to race wide.

YES BOSSY (App J Daniel) became unbalanced near the 1050M and when racing fiercely, had to be continually restrained off the heels of SAYANG ME (AK Lim) between the 1000M and the 800M.

A post-race veterinary examination of YES BOSSY revealed no significant finding.

The Stewards inquired into App A Zaimuddin’s (LIM’S BULLET) ride in the straight. He stated that he had dropped his right rein when attempting to keep the gelding out and when gathering the rein, got his whip stuck under the breast-plate and entangled in the mane, placing him in considerable difficulty for approximately 100M. In assessing this incident, the Stewards referred App A Zaimuddin for specific training and he will not be permitted to accept rides until such training is fulfilled.

Jockey S Salee (SO THE THING) was questioned as to why he sat three (3) deep in a lead position. He advised that SO THE THING was a very speedy horse but he had been instructed, given the 1200M distance, to attempt to ride SO THE THING in a more settled manner. In jumping well, SO THE THING had over-raced and he had not shifted in as he believed he was not sufficiently clear of LUCKY MASTER (App R Nuqman) on his inside. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards advised Jockey S Salee that in their opinion, he had ridden an ill-judged race by sitting wide when able to improve his position.

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:

He restrained CONDADO between the 900M and the 600M, thereby losing ground behind PLACE YOUR BET;
On straightening, inside the 600M mark, he sat quietly and failed to ride CONDADO in a positive manner;
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. 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 (4:06pm).

RACE 6 (R1522) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

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.

RACE 7 (R1523) STAYER STAKES B – 1800M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2019

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into Jockey KC Wong’s riding style on STAR INVINCIBLE in the straight.

After reviewing six (6) race patrol films as supplied by Jockey KC Wong in support of his assertion that his left arm action was not inconsistent, the Stewards advised Jockey KC Wong that whilst accepting there were occasions on which he had adopted the same style, he was expected to ride in a manner which leaves no doubt as to his purpose.
