Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1516)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

JETSTAR EAGLE (Y Aify) was slow to begin.

MAGIC RANGER (S Anandan) laid outwards on jumping, got its head up and continued to race keenly in the early stages.

MESSI (Z Khairil) was forced to race wide in order to make progress in the early stages.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark
1	I’M A GENIUS	Corneal ulcer to the right eye	Vet exam		Course scratching

RACE 2 (R1517)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

FRANCES (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

D’GREAT WALL (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 1100M, ZHAN SHEN (HK Cheng) shied away from RED EASTERN (HS Gill) on its outside and crowded COLONEL LINCOLN (S Salee) which was tightened against the rail and lost its position as a consequence. When questioned, Jockey S Salee stated that COLONEL LINCOLN became unbalanced in this incident causing him to be positioned further back in the field than was his original intention. A post-race veterinary examination of COLONEL LINCOLN revealed it was exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

At about the 600M, SUPER BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was briefly crowded as NOVA ACE (J Low) laid inwards. Thereafter SUPER BUFFALO carried its head awkwardly, and was disappointed for a run on the heels of COLONEL LINCOLN (S Salee) approaching the 200M.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SATELLITE GENIUS, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(6) in that he failed to ride out his mount to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that he stopped pushing SATELLITE GENIUS in the last 2 strides and was subsequently beaten a head for 4^th place. In determining the particulars of the charge, the Stewards noted that it was unclear whether SATELLITE GENIUS could have possibly finished in 4^th place but stressed to Jockey Z Khairil that they found his riding to be unsatisfactory in the circumstances. He was fined RM 2000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal.

OVERSEER (A Aucharuz) was slow to begin.

WINTERFELL (App WW Cheah) was slow to find its stride.

LAUGHING BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was heavily eased in the early stages by its rider, who reported to the Stewards that the gelding was bucking and that he had pulled him out of the race due to concern for the gelding’s welfare. He then allowed LAUGHING BUFFALO to follow the field at a safe distance.  A post-race veterinary examination of LAUGHING BUFFALO 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.

At about the 500M, OVERSEER had to be shifted outwards to avoid the heels of D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) and thereafter laid outwards around the bend and raced wide in the straight.

Approaching the 200M, D’GREAT EFFORT laid inwards under pressure.

Approaching the 100M, MOGAN’S PRIDE (AM Aizat) was disappointed for a run on the heels of PENDRAGON PRINCESS (S Salee) which compounded.

Approaching the 400M, NOVA LEGEND (S Sandana) laid inwards and continued to do so until the finish.

At about the 400M, ZENZERO (S Ruzaini) was shifted outwards to obtain a clear run on the outside of SOON YOU THINK (HS Gill) but commenced to lay outwards and brushed with JJ STAR (App KC Wong). Thereafter ZENZERO became unbalanced and again laid outwards, and bumped with JJ STAR which laid inwards approaching the 300M.

JJ STAR continued to shift inwards and at about the 200M, REAL MEAN (App L De Souza) was disappointed for a run on the heels of JJ STAR and VERGLATICA which shifted significantly outwards. App A Suriya, the rider of VERGLATICA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer C Leck, was shown the vision of the incident and was warned to show greater awareness and to take more care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

GOOD PEOPLE (J Low) laid outwards from the 200M.

The Stewards observed that App WW Cheah, the rider of ELF’S DREAM, dropped his whip at about the 100M.

RACE 6 (R1521)       CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GAZOO (Y Aify) stood still as the barrier opened and forfeited several lengths. When questioned, Jockey Y Aify stated that he was aware that GAZOO had an adverse history of similar behavior. GAZOO was loaded last but due to the misbehavior to other horses in the barrier, the start was then delayed by approximately one further minute. Jockey Y Aify reported that in his opinion, this delay caused GAZOO to be less alert and therefore begin slowly and as such he was unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to ride a forward race. A post-race veterinary examination of GAZOO 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.

WINGED FOOT (HK Cheng) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1000M, GENERAL MARSHALL (C Goon) shied away from SNAGGLE PUSS (A Aucharuz) which shifted inwards. Thereafter GENERAL MARSHALL (C Goon) commenced to over-race in the early and middle stages.

GOLDEN TYCOON had to be eased repeatedly in the early stages to avoid the heels of rivals, and was denied a clear run in the last 50M. Jockey S Sandana, the rider of GOLDEN TYCOON, reported that his horse raced greenly.

SNAGGLE PUSS which was beaten 18 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance. A post-race veterinary examination of SNAGGLE PUSS revealed no significant finding.

RACE 7 (R1522)       CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

PLATOON (AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

When questioned, Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of PLATOON, stated that the gelding was unable to go with the fast pace in the early stages and therefore he was unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to ride a forward race.

Trainer R Lines confirmed these instructions but added that he had left it to the rider’s discretion to change plans if the gelding was unable to follow the early pace which he expected to be considerable. He added that PLATOON was coming to the end of a long preparation and may have been feeling the effects of such. Trainer R Lines informed the Stewards that he will advise the owner to allow PLATOON to have a short break and to be freshened up. A post-race veterinary examination of PLATOON revealed that it was exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Acting on veterinary advice that THAI BAHT (M Ganeesh) and SANDY’S PRIDE (aPP WW Cheah) both had sustained a cut to their right hind legs, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the horses at 5:17pm and 5:16pm respectively. THAI BAHT and SANDY’S PRIDE will each be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 100M, GOLDEN EMPIRE (R Rueven) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and in doing so, laid outwards causing VICTORY MARCH (App KC Wong) to shy outwards in response.

FLYING SHADOW (S Ruzaini) which was unruly in the barrier and kicking out, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

SGFIFTY (S Anandan) jumped outwards causing CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App L De Souza), which was slow to begin, to be crowded just after the jump.

D’GREAT ELEGANCE (J De Souza) laid inwards after jumping causing FLYING SHADOW to be eased in response.

At about the 500M, SPARKLER (App AM Aizat) had to be eased to avoid the heels of GOOD LUCKY (App WW Cheah).

CHAMPAGNE ROSE laid outwards in the closing stages, and brushed with FLYING SHADOW.

MUSANG KING (M Ganeesh) which had been ridden back in the field in recent starts, was urged into the lead today. The Stewards recognized that MUSANG KING had, in the past, made the running in the races. However they noted that this was not his pattern of his most recent starts and they therefore advised Trainer SY Lim of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to notify the Stewards of a charge of riding tactics.

Jockeys Y Aify and M Ganeesh, the riders of EVIL TRAIN and MUSANG KING respectively, reported that the saddles on their horses slipped backwards during running.

RACE 4 (R1479) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 27 November 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of CATCH ME GREAT in the above race.

Trainer WC Lim stated that he expected a good showing from the gelding, although it would probably be suited by further than the 1200M of this race. He added that CATCH ME GREAT has had issues with a suspensory ligament which may have affected his performance. However, a post-race veterinary examination ordered by the Stewards did not reveal any significant finding. Jockey SU Lim stated that CATCH ME GREAT struggled with the fast early pace and he was therefore unable to obtain a midfield position as per the gelding’s normal racing pattern. He explained that he had been instructed to sit where his mount was comfortable if such circumstances occurred.

After the evidence was heard, Jockey SU Lim was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) in that he failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

1. Having found himself in a position at the rear of the field, he made insufficient effort to improve his position in the middle stages.
2. He did not make a serious attempt to make progress between the 600M and the 400M, when there was space directly in front of him.

In determining the penalty the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s mitigating factors, submissions on penalty, and the fact that he had never previously been suspended under this Rule. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with immediate effect from 27 November 2018 and to expire on 26 January 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3pm).

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1476) CLASS 5 (B) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

SILENT DREAMS gained a run as an Emergency Acceptor. Due to a lack of suitable riders at the allotted weight, the Stewards granted permission for Jockey A Aucharuz to accept the ride and to put up 2kg overweight.

FLIGHT OFTHE SAKER (App L De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

NOVA SPIRIT (Z Khairil) was slow to begin.

At the 1500M, VERGLATICA (S Ruzaini) was checked to avoid the heels of PERCIUS (App W Faizal) which shifted inwards. At the conclusion of an inquiry, App W Faizal, the rider of PERCIUS, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at the 1500M, he shifted inwards when not clear of VERGLATICA which was checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App W Faizal’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 26 November 2018 and to expire on 9 December 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:12pm).

At about the 300M, SOKOR GEDEBE (S Anandan) was shifted to the inside of FLEDGELING (SU Lim) to obtain clear running.

App KC Wong, the rider of ELEGANT DANCER, reported that his saddle slipped backwards during running.

RACE 2 (R1477) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

ZENZERO (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin and had to be urged in the early stages. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that ZENZERO showed no pace in the early stages and had responded just fairly to pressure in the straight. He felt that the race today was stronger than the race which ZENZERO won last time out.

VALERIUS (J Low) was observed to be racing keenly in the early and middle stages.

Approaching the 300M, BIG PARIS (S Mutaza) was crowded when WINNING STAR (M Ganeesh), which compounded, shifted inwards.

Just inside the 200M, LIGHTNING ZERO (SU Lim) was shifted out to the outside of ELEGENT (App KC Wong) to obtain clear running.

Jockey S Mutaza, the rider of BIG PARIS, was shown the vision of the concluding stages, during which time he appeared to stop riding for 3 strides very close to the line and eventually finished in 5^th placing, beaten ¾ length for 4^th place. Although the Stewards were of the opinion that BIG PARIS would not have finished 4^th irrespective of Jockey S Mutaza’s actions, he was severely warned about his responsibilities under MRA Rule 44(6) to ride all his horses out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

SOUTHERN HUSSLER (O Chavez) over-raced in the early stages. A post-race veterinary examination of SOUTHERN HUSSLER 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.

Approaching the 1000M, LUCKY VICTORY (J Low) was shifted outwards by Jockey J Low to afford space for GOLD MOSA (App L De Souza) on his inside and in doing so, became awkwardly placed on the heels of SOUTHERN HUSSLER and had to be eased for a few strides. Jockey A Aucharuz, who was riding SOON SEEKER which was positioned on the outside of LUCKY VICTORY, reported that due to this incident he was trapped wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 400M, HAPPY BUFFALO (App A Zaimuddin) was disappointed for a run on the heels of LUCKY VICTORY and was then switched outwards but was disappointed for a run on the heels of SOUTHERN HUSSLER. Thereafter, HAPPY BUFFALO was shifted wide out in order to obtain clear running.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of FEISTY LEO, App KC Wong stated that the gelding had never been able to travel comfortably in the race which was run at fast pace. Trainer R Lines added that FEISTY LEO is ideally suited by a longer distance than the 1200M of today’s race at this advanced stage of his career.

An inquiry into the running and handling of CATCH ME GREAT (SU Lim) will be held at a date to be fixed.

LOVE GOES AROUND (S Ruzaini) threw its head upwards and to the right on jumping and became entangled in the right side barrier gate. After reviewing the start, the Stewards observed that LOVE GOES AROUND had been given the opportunity for a fair start and it was deemed to be a runner. Thereafter, LOVE GOES AROUND got away slowly and reluctantly, and was well detached from the remainder of the field. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet from the Starting Stall test before being declared to race again for having difficult barrier manners.

On jumping, SKYDANCE ECLIPSE (App KC Wong) was crowded between LAW BY LAW (App A Zaimuddin) and PANCA DELIMA (O Chavez).

RACE 6 (R1481) CLASS 4(A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

At the time fixed for final acceptances, Jockey Z Khairil was nominated on both RA FORCE and GET GOING. The Stewards contacted S Edwards, the Trainer of GET GOING, who explained that he had made a mistake and had intended to nominate Jockey J Mallyon.

NOVA RANGER (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly and had to be shifted to obtain a midfield position.

GOOD DEAL (S Mutaza) was slow to begin.

GET GOING (J Mallyon) over-raced in the early stages.

When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of ARC CARA reported that the gelding was fresh after a 3-month spell and had slightly over-raced in the middle stages, causing him to ease on a couple of occasions, and to leave space in front of him in order to avoid clipping heels. He added that ARC CARA laid inwards away from a right-hand drive at about the 400M, and thereafter had found himself unable to obtain a clear run at any stage. When asked why he did not attempt an outside run at about the 400M, Jockey M Ganeesh replied that he did not anticipate that there would be sufficient space between RAINBOW NATION (J Low) and ATEEJ (O Chavez). His explanation was noted.

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of NOVA RANGER, stated that he had been disappointed for a run on the heels of TRIPLE ONE STAR (App L De Souza) and SAM THE MAN (App AM Aizat) approaching the 200M and when a clear run had eventually presented itself inside the 100M, he was again forced to check to avoid the heels of TRIPLE ONE STAR which drifted outwards. App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of this incident, and warned to take greater care to maintain a straight line in the concluding stages under similar circumstances in future.

GET GOING (J Mallyon) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 100M, but subsequently continued to lay outwards under pressure causing ELITE SILENCER to be eased to avoid the heels of GET GOING close to the finish. Jockey J Mallyon was shown the vision of the incident and warned by the Stewards to take greater care to keep his mount straight under similar circumstances in future.

Jockey S Ruzaini was warned for allowing his horse to run on another horse’s heels when he could easily have taken corrective measures to ensure that interference did not occur. Both riders were instructed by the Stewards to display greater awareness under similar circumstances in future.

THE JEUNEYMAN (SU Lim) raced wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 200M, FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) laid outwards under pressure and subsequently had to be shifted inwards to avoid the heels of D’GREAT BLESS (HS Gill).

Prior to the start, the Stewards were notified that MR CROWE (R Rueven), which was drawn outside, would be ridden back in the field due to the wide barrier. MR CROWE was briefly disappointed for a run approaching the 500M, and again at about the 400M, where the rider was forced to ease to avoid the heels of PLATOON (HK Cheng), which compounded. MR CROWE was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 300M.

The Stewards instructed Trainer C Leck to report any relevant facts which subsequently come to light.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of PLATOON, Trainer R Lines stated that the gelding, which reared at the jump, and was slow to begin, may have been unsuited by being unable to dominate as per his normal racing pattern. PLATOON which was beaten 12 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

DAHEES over-raced after this incident and brushed with ENERGIZER (R Rueven) approaching the 900M.

Approaching the 300M, THANK YOU BOSS (A Aucharuz) was disappointed for a run on the heels of DAHEES which shifted slightly inwards. Thereafter THANK YOU BOSS was angled outwards and was unable to obtain clear running until inside the 200M.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

SATURDAY, 10 NOVEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 3), upgraded to “Good” after Race 3.

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1400) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer WC Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to seek the Stewards’ prior permission to allow Jockey J Mallyon to ride 1kg over on WILL BE BETTER.

GOLD KIDS (S Mutaza) was slow to find its stride.

TEEN ANGEL (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

WILL BE BETTER over-raced in the early stages.

Prior to the race, the Stewards were advised that GERMAN SPEED (C Goon) would be ridden in midfield today. GERMAN SPEED jumped awkwardly outwards and therefore found himself in mid-to-back position in the early stages. Between the 600M and the 400M, GERMAN SPEED showed a tendency to lay outwards.

Trainer F Maynard was questioned regarding the improved form shown by the winner, SNOW DANCER (J Low) which after its last start, had been suspended from racing for 1 month until 6 November 2018 under the provisions of MRA Rule 117(3) (“in and out running”). Trainer F Maynard explained that SNOW DANCER had shown more enthusiasm and ability than previously in an Official Race Trial 3 days ago on 7 November 2018  and that in his opinion, the short break from racing had perhaps benefitted the horse.

The Stewards reminded Trainer F Maynard of MRA Rule 117(3) and warned him that SNOW DANCER would be expected to back up this win with a credible performance next time, failing which action may be taken.

RACE 2 (R1401) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

BULL AND BEAR (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

At about the 1100M, ARCHER COMPANY (R Rueven) was eased to avoid the heels of GOLDHILL PRINCESS (J De Souza) which crossed in front.

RED RACKHAM (S Anandan) over-raced in the early stages and in being eased to avoid the heels of ARCHER COMPANY and MR EPIC (App AM Aizat) approaching the 1000M, forfeited ground.

SATURDAY’S DELIGHT (S Salee) raced wide in the early and middle stages.

POLO GAGA (S Sandana) commenced to lay outwards at the 600M, and ran wide around the bend which he negotiated with difficulty. When questioned, Jockey S Sandana stated that as he changed his reins approaching the 400M, POLO GAGA had laid further outwards and was then one-paced in the concluding stages. The Stewards warned Jockey S Sandana that he must take more care not to give away ground by allowing his mount to run wide under similar circumstances in future.

When questioned about the improved performance shown by the winner, GOLDHILL PRINCESS (J De Souza). Trainer R Lines stated that the mare is habitually slow to begin but was able to overcome her bad start today. Jockey J De Souza added that GOLDHILL PRINCESS stood still in the gate as usual, but forfeited less ground today which he attributed to being granted a late load. Thereafter when he urged the mare to recover the lost ground, he was fortunate in that the gaps appeared for him and he was able to make progress through the field to obtain a midfield position at the 1000M.

RACE 3 (R1402) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SUPREME STAR (Z Khairil) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the request of the jockey behind the barrier and was passed fit to race.

THAI BAHT (App AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

SUPREME STAR (Z Khairil) over-raced in the early stages and as a consequence, was trapped wide in the middle stages.

At about the 300M, ZOLVED (App CK Khaw) shifted abruptly outwards under pressure causing DEE MAJULAH (J De Souza) to be taken outwards and Jockey J De Souza to ease and correct.  Shortly afterwards, ZOLVED was corrected and shifted inwards at the same time as THAI BAHT was shifted outwards by TAIL SPIN (J Mallyon) and as a result, ZOLVED and THAI BAHT brushed at about the 200M.

Approaching the 200M, SUPER EIGHT (R Rueven) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and SOUTHERN HUSSLER (S Anandan) shied away from SUPER EIGHT and brushed with SUPREME STAR on his outside.

App WW Cheah, the rider of PERFECT RUN, was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 44(12) for making a celebratory gesture with his whip prior to the winning post.

SUPREME STAR which was beaten 17 ¾ lengths and DEE MAJULAH which was beaten 191/4 lengths, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performances. A post-race veterinary examination of SUPREME STAR revealed no significant finding.

The State of Track was upgraded to “Good” after the running of this race.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of PANCA DELIMA, stated that the gelding commenced to lay outwards from the early stages and that when he loosened his rein at approximately the 300M in order to ride a vigourous finish, PANCA DELIMA laid abruptly outwards causing PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) to be taken outwards in response. The Stewards warned Jockey O Chavez that the corrective measures that he had taken at the 200M were insufficient and he was warned to take greater care to keep his mounts straight under similar circumstances in future.

Trainer M Sukri was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on WINNING STAR (Y Aify). 

FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) jumped awkwardly.

IMMORTALITY (App AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

LIM’S MASTER (C Goon) was slow to begin and became detached before commencing to improve at about the 400M. When questioned. Jockey C Goon stated that LIM’S MASTER, which is ideally suited by a longer distance, was unable to keep up with the early pace but had responded well in the straight. He explained that approaching the 100M, he had been forced to ease and change direction in order to avoid the heels of SANDY MIGHT (App WW Cheah) which compounded.

Approaching the 300M, FRENCH VINTAGE drifted in away from a right-hand drive and buffeted SANDY MIGHT on his inside. SANDY MIGHT had to be eased as a result of this incident. The Stewards showed App A Suriya, in the presence of his Master, Trainer C Leck, the vision of the incident and warned him that he must take greater care to keep his horses straight under similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 200M, SHARON’S STAR (App J Daniel) was shifted outwards to avoid the heels of SIR HENRY (S Ruzaini) and to obtain a clear run.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of the winner, SIR HENRY (S Ruzaini), Trainer WC Lim stated that SIR HENRY had received interference at the start in his run on 4 November 2018 which had prevented him from obtaining an advantageous early position. He added that the mare had benefitted from an inside barrier draw.

RACE 5 (R1404) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Prior to the start of this race, the Stewards questioned Trainer SB Tan regarding GOOD DEAL (S Mutaza). In a previous inquiry on 10 October 2017, Trainer SB Tan’s B Trainer MW Teh stated that in his opinion, GOOD DEAL was better suited by further than the 1200M distance of today’s race. Subsequently, GOOD DEAL has only won and placed over longer distances.

The Stewards requested Trainer SB Tan to explain why under such circumstances, he had entered GOOD DEAL in a 1200M race when a 1600M race was available on the same card. He stated that it was the owner’s preference to run the gelding over 1200M but he personally felt that GOOD DEAL would be better suited by the 1600M race.

GOOD DEAL (S Mutaza) was slow to begin.

NOVA FALCON (O Chavez) was slow to begin but recovered into a prominent position when urged and then commenced to over-race approaching the 1000M.

JERAM VILLAGE (S Anandan) jinked abruptly outwards approaching the 900M. Jockey S Anandan reported that the gelding had done this without warning and not in response to any action of any other horse or rider. JERAM VILLAGE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having difficult racing manners.

Approaching the 200M, OUT OF NOWHERE (App W Faizal) commenced to lay outwards under pressure and in doing so, caused GOOD DEAL to be taken outwards just inside the 200M.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of the winner, B Trainer Tan Khong Wah, the representative of Trainer BT Lim, the Trainer of DIRECTOR (App A Zaimuddin), stated that the horse appeared to be better suited by the 1200M of today’s race than the 1400M which was the distance of its previous start. He added that this was only DIRECTOR’s second start under Trainer BT Lim’s training. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that DIRECTOR returned having cast its near hind plate. The Stewards warned App A Zaimuddin that he must not look around to check the position of other runners when riding a vigourous finish.

When questioned regarding the running of EL CONDOR, Jockey J Low reported that his instructions were to obtain cover on the gelding who has a tendency to race keenly. However he found it difficult to do so and EL CONDOR commenced to over-race from the 1000M, causing him to restrain on more than one occasions to avoid the heels of DIRECTOR. Jockey J Low further explained that when it became apparent to him that App A Zaimuddin was slowing DIRECTOR  from the 600M, he shifted EL CONDOR to the outside of DIRECTOR in order to make progress and allow the gelding to stride. He added that thereafter EL CONDOR was more tractable except for one minor stumble approaching the 400M, and finished the race fairly.

Jockey J Low informed the Stewards that in his post-race report to Trainer F Maynard, he had recommended that EL CONDOR to be allowed to stride on in future races and take the lead if necessary to enable the gelding to relax. A post-race veterinary examination of EL CONDOR revealed no significant finding.

RACE 6 (R1405) METRO A – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

JUSTICE WORLD (J De Souza) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers and was passed fit to race. 

JUSTICE WORLD jumped inwards and brushed with TIDAL WAVE (J Low).

MR SCORSESE (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin and was thereafter forced to race wide as a consequence.

GARIZA (O Chavez) was slow to begin. When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of GARIZA, reported that as a result of the slow jump, he had been unable to obtain a forward position and had been trapped in midfield on the inside with no opportunity to make progress in a slowly run race. He added that GARIZA, when switched outwards to challenge approaching the 300M, finished his race well but that the winner, which had been directly in front of him, was in a better racing position and had taken advantage.

Approaching the 800M, JUSTICE WORLD (J De Souza) was checked to avoid the heels of TAFFETAS (App CK Khaw) in response to the pace of the race slowing.

TAFFETAS (App CK Khaw) laid outwards under pressure in the closing stages.

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of GARIZA, was warned by the Stewards that he must take responsibility for removing the blindfold himself as on this occasion, he had allowed a barrier handler to do it.

GOLDEN GLORY (App J Daniel) over-raced in the early stages.

Approaching the 300M, RED EMPRESS (C Goon) shifted outwards under pressure at the same time as JJ STAR (HK Cheng) shifted inwards under pressure, forcing Jockey HK Cheng to ease and correct in order to avoid the heels of RED EMPRESS.

App WW Faizal, the rider of OVERSEER, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy was warned that he must not use his whip forward of the shoulder unless in an emergency to avoid contact with another horse.

At about 1000M, RAINBOW FISH (App AM Aizat) was forced to ease when D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) rolled slightly inwards.

D’GREAT EFFORT and BACK TO THE TOWERS (S Anandan) brushed at about the 200M.

Jockey S Anandan, the rider of BACK TO THE TOWERS, briefly dropped his rein in the closing stages but was able to maintain his momentum.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of BIG DALLAS, reported that his horse was slowly away.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of TARZAN (App W Faizal), Trainer L Moy stated that in his opinion, the horse would prefer a longer distance and although TARZAN ran well over today’s distance of 1600M in his last start, he felt that the circumstances had been flattering.

RACE 9 (R1379) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), STAR TOTO 6/50 STAKES, SATURDAY, 4 NOVEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of DYNAMIC EAGLE (S Mutaza), which disputed the lead at a fast pace and eventually finished second.

Jockey S Mutaza explained that he had been instructed to lead on DYNAMIC EAGLE and was happy to have established the lead after the first 100M. However, thereafter WINNING TANGO (App WK Lee) moved up to dispute the lead and caused his mount to be headstrong.

Trainer S Dunderdale confirmed these instructions and added that this was DYNAMIC EAGLE’s first race under his training, and that the gelding has shown such tendencies in his work.

The Stewards accepted these explanations.

Trainer C Leck was asked if anything had subsequently come to light to explain the disappointing performance of KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) in the above race. He stated that Jockey S Ruzaini had reported the horse to be apparently making respiratory noises but post-race examination had revealed no respiratory abnormalities.

RACE 10 (R1317) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of STREET OF LONDON (Z Khairil) in the above race.

Jockey Z Khairil explained that he wanted to obtain a midfield position but that after a fair jump, STREET OF LONDON was slow to find its stride and DANZEB (O Chavez) obtained the position that he desired for himself. Thereafter he was trapped on the heels of DANZEB and then KUTTNER (L Sofhan) with no opportunity to make progress until he attempted to cover the forward move of KARIGARA (App L De Souza) at the 600M, whereupon STREET OF LONDON produced a disappointing response. Trainer L Moy confirmed that STREET OF LONDON tends to be slowly into stride. The Stewards accepted their explanations.

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 8), upgraded to “Good” prior to Race 9.

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R1371) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

BEIJING STAR (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly outwards and brushed with the side of the gate. BEIJING STAR was slow into stride as a consequence, and also laid inwards shortly after the start.

RED EMPRESS (C Goon) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1000M, GOLDEN DRAGON (J Low) laid inwards briefly causing PLATINUM TYCOON (SU Lim) to be taken slightly inwards, and HAHA BABE (L Sofhan) and BEIJING STAR to be crowded on the inside of PLATINUM TYCOON. SPARKLER (App CK Khaw) had to be eased to avoid the heels of BEIJING STAR.

Approaching the 400M, PLATINUM TYCOON commenced to lay outwards causing SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be carried outwards at about the 400M. PLATINUM TYCOON continued to lay outwards in the concluding stages and finished wide out.

A post-race veterinary examination of KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL (App L De Souza) 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.

When questioned regarding the performance of GOLDEN DRAGON, Jockey J Low reported that the gelding did not show its customary speed in the early stages and therefore he was unable to obtain a forward position, and was trapped wide. He added that the gelding’s response in the straight was disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination of GOLDEN DRAGON revealed no significant finding.

At about the 400M, CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App L De Souza) laid outwards.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of the winner, CHAMPAGNE ROSE, Trainer R Lines stated that the mare had been given a break and had received veterinary treatment after her last start, which was disappointing.

SPORTS TOTO 5D STAKES

ACIPENSER (J Low) and THAI BAHT (App WK Lee) were both slow to begin.

Approaching the 1000M, Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of HK DOLLAR, attempted to restrain his mount which was racing keenly. In doing so, HK DOLLAR shifted slightly outwards, causing ALIEN (App L De Souza) which was following, to clip heels, stumble and shift inwards when unbalanced. This in turn caused BRILLIANT STAR (A Aucharuz) to be checked to avoid ALIEN’s heels and SOUTHERN HUSSLER (O Chavez) to be shifted inwards to avoid contact. Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of HK DOLLAR, was shown the vision of the incident and warned to exercise greater awareness to horses around him under similar circumstances in future.

UNION JAC (App A Zaimuddin) showed a tendency to lay outwards in the middle stages and raced wide around the bend.

At about the 100M, LIM’S ACTION (HS Gill) had to be checked to avoid the heels of HK DOLLAR which laid outwards under pressure.

ARLO which was beaten 15 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of LIM’S ACTION, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted outwards to obtain clear running when not clear of BRILLIANT STAR (A Aucharuz) which was checked for several strides.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HS Gill’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, 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 5 November 2018 and to expire on 11 November 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

RACE 4 (R1374) OPEN MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SPORTS TOTO 4D STAKES

D’GREAT PERFECT (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards and brushed with TILSWORTH JOSHI (App WK Lee).

JABBAR (O Chavez) jumped awkwardly inwards while being crowded by RUNNING FLAME (S Ruzaini) which also jumped inwards.

In the early stages, JABBAR and LUCKY VICTORY (J Low) which were racing up-sides in a tightly packed field, repeatedly brushed with each other.

At about the 1100M, LUCKY VICTORY commenced to over-race when in restricted room on the inside of JABBAR. When the rider of LUCKY VICTORY attempted to restrain his horse to avoid the heels of KITA TEAMWORK (App AM Aizat), LUCKY VICTORY proved intractable and shifted abruptly outwards, causing JABBAR to be crowded on the inside of SATELLITE GOLDEN (S Sandana). Thereafter JABBAR continued to lay outwards causing I HAVE A DREAM (A Aucharuz) to shift outwards as a precaution.

Approaching the 1000M, LUCKY VICTORY raced fiercely and again buffeted with JABBAR. After reviewing the vision of this incident, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of JABBAR, stated that the early interference had affected his chances in the race.

Approaching the 200M, DONT MIND IFIDO (Y Aify) shifted persistently inwards under pressure when tiring.

D’GREAT PERFECT which was beaten 20 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of I HAVE A DREAM, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of I HAVE A DREAM 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.

Jockey Y AIFY, the rider of DONT MIND IFIDO, and Jockey S Sandana, the rider of SATELLITE GOLDEN, reported that their horses raced greenly.

RACE 5 (R1375) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Acting on veterinary advice that BULLISH LUCK (Z Khairil) was lame off fore, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 2:53pm. BULLISH LUCK will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) reared slightly leaving the gate and forfeited ground.

IMMORTALITY (App WK Lee) raced in a detached last place in the early and middle stages.

Shortly after the start, SIR HENRY (S Ruzaini) was bumped by BIG BUS (App A Zaimuddin), stumbled, became unbalanced and lost ground.

Approaching the 900M, MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) was eased to avoid the heels of CHAR SIEW (L Sofhan) which laid inwards on the bend.

Approaching the 300M, MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah) was disappointed for a run on the heels of BIG BUS and CHAR SIEW, and was shifted inwards to obtain clear running.

Approaching the 200M, App A Suriya, the rider of FRENCH VINTAGE, dropped his reins briefly but soon regained them and was able to ride with his normal vigour in the concluding stages.

Approaching the 100M, BIG BUS was shifted outwards to avoid the heels of CHAR SIEW which shifted slightly inwards.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App WK Lee, the rider of IMMORTALITY, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer SY Lim, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that he rode with insufficient vigour and purpose, and did not make sufficient attempt to keep IMMORTALITY in touch with the main body of the field.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App WK Lee’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months with effect from 5 November 2018 and to expire on 4 January 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (7:15pm).

POWER TOTO 6/55 STAKES

KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) jumped outwards and brushed with MASTER MINER (O Chavez).

D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) jumped outwards, causing HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza) to shy outwards and carry VOLANTE GENERAL (S Sandana) and MAREA NEGRO (SU Lim) outwards in response.

Approaching the 1350M, ENERGIZER (J Low) which was carried inwards by NEVERSAYNEVER (App S Uzair), bumped with MAREA NEGRO. BIG DALLAS (HS Gill) which was following, had to check to avoid the heels of MAREA NEGRO.

Approaching the 800M, MAREA NEGRO shifted inwards when not clear and crowded VOLANTE GENERAL and MASTER MINER on his inside causing MASTER MINER to check sharply, and NEVERSAYNEVER to run onto the heels of MASTER MINER, blunder badly, breach the running rail and unseat App S Uzair. App S Uzair was not seriously injured as a result of this incident, however, was stood down from his riding engagements for the remainder of the races today.

KING OPERA which was beaten 14 1/4 lengths and MASTER MINER which was distanced, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MASTER MINER returned with a cut on the off hind tendon.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of MAREA NEGRO, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 800M, he allowed his mount to shift inwards and did not leave sufficient space for horses on his inside.

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 four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 5 November 2018 and to expire on 18 November 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

METIER STAR (App L De Souza) jumped awkwardly and was buffeted in the early stages between MR WOLFF (App A Zaimuddin) and MR PAULANDRE (J Mallyon).

UNSURPASSED (HK Cheng) was allowed to shift inwards shortly after the jump, causing DIRECTOR (HS Gill), MR WOLFF and METIER STAR to be crowded on his inside and METIER STAR to bump with MR PAULANDRE.  Jockey HK Cheng was shown the vision of the incident and warned to exercise greater care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 1000M, MR CROWE (J Low) was awkwardly placed on the heels of MR WOLFF forcing the rider to ease. Thereafter MR CROWE was trapped behind MR WOLFF which was taken back to midfield, causing MR CROWE to lose ground as a result.

At about the 400M, MR WOLFF was disappointed for a run on the heels of UNSURPASSED.

At about the 400M, MR CROWE was disappointed for a run on the heels of GADAWON (S Ruzaini). Thereafter MR CROWE shifted outwards to obtain clear running, causing GASSUR (O Chavez) to be taken slightly outwards in response and at about the 200M, MR CROWE commenced to lay outwards causing GASSUR to be slightly inconvenienced.

UNSURPASSED which was beaten 20 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 8 (R1378) METRO A – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

SPORTS TOTO SUPREME CHALLENGE CUP

SEA WORLD (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards, causing BROWCOW (HK Cheng) and SPLENDOR (App W Faizal) to be crowded on his inside. App CK Khaw, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of the incident and warned to exercise greater care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 1000M, D’GREAT VULTURE (J Low) shifted outwards causing BRAHMA CIRCUS (S Ruzaini) to be briefly crowded to the inside of TIGER BAY (J De Souza) which shifted outwards as a result of being brushed by BRAHMA CIRCUS.

Approaching the 200M, BRAHMA CIRCUS shifted inwards under pressure causing BROWCOW to ease and be shifted outwards in order to avoid his heels.

STEP BY STEP and D’GREAT TIMING will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

RACE 9 (R1379) CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

STAR TOTO 6/50 STAKES

The State of Track was upgraded to “good” prior to the running of this race.

BACK TO THE TOWERS (S Anandan) and SOUTHERN MAN (S Ruzaini) were both slow to begin.

Approaching the 200M, CRAZY CLUB (J Mallyon) raced in restricted room between CONFOUND (O Chavez) and GORDON G (App KC Wong), and shortly afterwards, had to be eased when the gap narrowed.

IMMORTAL LEGACY (HK Cheng) which was eased in the concluding stages, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Trainer SB Tan, the Trainer of WINNING TANGO, pleaded guilty of charge under MRA Rule 35(8) in that he failed to notify the Stewards that WINNING TANGO was to be ridden in a manner different from its recent start or starts. WINNING TANGO disputed the lead at a fast pace before compounding in the last 200M, having been ridden from midfield or a handy position in recent starts. He was fined RM500/-. A post-race veterinary examination of WINNING TANGO 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.

An inquiry into the running and handling of DYNAMIC EAGLE (S Mutaza) which also disputed the lead at a fast pace, will be held at a date to be fixed.

When questioned about the improved performance of the winner, SOUTHERN MAN, Trainer S Ellis stated that the gelding was better suited by the fast pace of today’s race as compared to his last run, which was also his first start after a 4 month spell.

SPORTS TOTO 4D JACKPOT STAKES

Permission was given by the Stewards to Jockey O Chavez, the rider of HUSSONATOR, to ride out of the barrier with his feet out of the iron, as the gelding has an adverse history of starting slowly. HUSSONATOR laid abruptly inwards after the jump and had to be urged to obtain a midfield position.

GREENSTONE (Z Khairil) over-raced in the early stages. THE DODGER (J Low) raced keenly when restrained to avoid the heels of GREENSTONE, causing ROC THAT (L Sofhan) which was following, to be inconvenienced, and to forfeit 2 to 3 lengths as a result.

SPORTS TOTO 6D STAKES

GOOD BROTHER (SU Lim) jumped inwards and bumped with ELITE CONQUEROR (C Goon).

AUSONE (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin and was soon well behind despite being urged. AUSONE which raced ungenerously, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

AUSSIE EAGLE (J Mallyon) which was drawn outside, raced wide throughout. AUSSIE EAGLE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

POWERFUL FIGHTER (J De Souza) laid inwards from the 300M.

PALTROW (L Sofhan) laid inwards under pressure at about the 300M and was then awkwardly placed on the heels of SANGKURIANG (App KC Wong) as a consequence. PALTROW was shifted outwards approaching the 200M to obtain clear running but the rider was once again forced to ease approaching the 150M as POWERFUL FIGHTER shifted inwards in his path.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App WK Lee, the rider of TEH TARIK, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer SY Lim, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that:

1. He made no attempt to change his whip hand on a horse that was persistently laying in away from a right-hand drive and has a history of doing so.
2. In the last 100M, he rode with a lack of vigour and allowed TEH TARIK to come home with no significant assistance.  TEH TARIK finished in fourth place, beaten a head for third place.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App WK Lee’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months with effect from 5 November 2018 and to expire on 4 May 2019, both dates inclusive, to be served concurrently with his suspension in Race 5 today. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (7:50pm).

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R1309) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 4 November 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of JUST DUIT in the above race, and took evidence from Jockey HK Cheng and Trainer PS Kumaran, the rider and trainer of JUST DUIT respectively.

Jockey HK Cheng stated that his instructions were to ride JUST DUIT in midfield and in a slightly more conservative fashion than on his previous start, which was over a shorter distance of 1200M. Trainer PS Kumaran confirmed there instructions, adding that JUST DUIT is, in his opinion, more effective at 1200M than the 1400M of this race.

Jockey HK Cheng explained that JUST DUIT had commenced to lay outwards approaching the bend, and had continued to do so around the turn, causing him to slightly check on two or three occasions to avoid being awkwardly placed on the heels of SRIKANDI (Y Aify). He added that JUST DUIT seemed to race with less enthusiasm than previously and that his response to pressure was disappointing.

The Stewards advised Jockey HK Cheng that if he had allowed JUST DUIT to stride forward to take a position slightly in front of SRIKANDI in the space behind FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya), he would have eliminated the risk of contact with SRIKANDI’s heels. He was warned to ride his mounts in a positive manner in the middle stages in future and to leave no room for query.

RACE 1 (R1236) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), NEW DAWN STAKES, SUNDAY, 7 OCTOBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 4 November 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry adjourned from 21 October 2018 into the running and handling of TOTALITY in the above race.

Trainer WC Lim had been unhappy with Jockey S Sandana, who he felt had not carried out his instructions which were to ride a forward race, and had made a report to the Stewards of such.

At the conclusion of the inquiry, the Stewards accepted the explanations tendered by Jockey S Sandana and took no further action.

AMENDMENT

RACE 10 (R1317) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 2nd November 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, held an enquiry into the running and handling of JUBILATION (App N Varmah) which raced in a detached last place in the early and middle stages of the above race. They took evidence from App N Varmah and his Master C Leck, also the Trainer of JUBILATION.

App N Varmah stated that on jumping, JUBILATION had brushed with BOOSTER on his inside and then did not stride out to his satisfaction in the early and middle stages. He added that the gelding had started to move better in the straight and finished the race well. Trainer C Leck stated that in his opinion JUBILATION had been positioned too far back and that App N Varmah should have attempted to keep in touch with the other runners. However, he added that the gelding has issues with intermittent lameness and that on previous occasions when he has raced poorly, he was subsequently discovered to be lame. He explained that App N Varmah was aware of the horse’s veterinary history.

The Stewards also took evidence from Dr Shri Kanth (Senior Veterinary Surgeon), who had inspected JUBILATION post-race and  Dr Edward Samuel (Veterinary Surgeon), who had treated the gelding the following day for a problem with his off-fore heel. JUBILATION displayed no abnormalities immediately post-race and after viewing the vision of the race, both veterinarians agreed with the observation of the Stewards that there was no discernible change in his stride pattern at any stage.

While acknowledging that App N Varmah is very inexperienced, and that he did express concerns about JUBILATION’s welfare immediately post-race, the Stewards considered his riding to be unacceptable in the circumstances. App N Varmah was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that he rode with insufficient purpose and vigour throughout. In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App N Varmah’s mitigating factors including his lack of experience, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended for 2 months with effect from 2^nd November 2018 and to expire on 1^st January 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (10:55am).

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R1308) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

App A Zaimuddin was unavailable to ride MEWTWO due to injury. As the Stewards considered there was no suitable Apprentice rider available, they allowed the substitution of claiming Jockey C Goon.

LETHAL WEAPON (J De Souza) cast its near fore plate and had to be reshod behind the barriers. The gelding was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

MUSANG KING (App WK Lee) kicked out and made contact with the back gate while in the stall. The gelding was taken out of the barrier, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race. MUSANG KING jumped awkwardly and was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1000M, GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) commenced to over-race in response to the pace slowing, brushed the rail, and then had to be shifted outwards to avoid the heels of WILL BE BETTER (SU Lim).

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of EMPEROR WARRIOR, stated that his riding instruction were to race in midfield but that the gelding seemed to resent being restrained and was disappointing.

Trainer W Lim stated that he had nothing to add to Jockey S Ruzaini’s explanation. He was warned by the Stewards in terms of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to notify the Stewards if his horses are to be ridden in a manner different to their most recent start or starts. A post-race veterinary examination of EMPEROR WARRIOR revealed no significant finding.

Jockey Y Aify, the rider of SRIKANDI, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to seek the permission from the Stewards within the prescribed time, to ride overweight on SRIKANDI.

GOLDHILL PRINCESS (J De Souza) stood still as the barrier opened and was slow to begin. The gelding which was beaten 20 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the Starting Stall) test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

THAI BAHT (C Goon) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 200M, SANDY MIGHT (App WW Cheah) commenced to shift inwards under pressure.

BIG BUS (App AM Aizat) laid inwards under pressure in the final 200M.

An inquiry into the running and handling of JUST DUIT (HK Cheng) will be held on a date to be fixed.

Shortly before the races, Trainer SY Lim approached a Stipendiary Steward to inform him that WE’RE THE WORLD (App WK Lee), which is habitually ridden from a forward position, would be ridden in midfield on this occasion.

In the race, WE’RE THE WORLD led from the early stages and won. The Stewards asked Trainer SY Lim about this discrepancy. He stated that WE’RE THE WORLD took the lead easily without being urged to do so, and that in his opinion, he had fulfilled his responsibility to inform the Stewards of any intended change to riding tactics.

The Stewards informed Trainer SY Lim that an inquiry would be held into this matter on a date to be fixed.

RACE 3 (R1310) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

ANAK WARRIOR (S Salee) was slow to find its stride and raced wide in the middle stages.

D’GREAT HAWK (App L De Souza) was slow to find its stride and was urged in the early stages to keep in touch.

At about the 800M, UNION JAC (HS Gill) which was racing wide, laid outwards causing ANAK WARRIOR, which was following, to be shifted wider and to ease to avoid the heels of UNION JAC.  ANAK WARRIOR lost its position as a result of this incident.

At about the 300M, ASTRO MAN (C Goon) laid inwards slightly as DOMINATE (App WK Lee) shifted outwards under pressure causing BIG PARIS (SU Lim) to be disappointed for a run and to check to avoid the heels of ASTRO MAN.

Between the 300M and the 200M, D’GREAT HAWK (App L De Souza) was disappointed for a run on the heels of DOMINATE.

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of ARLO, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. ARLO which was beaten 20 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance. A post-race veterinary examination of ARLO revealed no significant finding.

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

When questioned, Jockey C Goon, the rider of ASTRO MAN, reported that the gelding had over-raced in the early stages and continued to do so when crossed by WHAT (Z Khairil) at about the 1000M. He therefore eased ASTRO MAN outside as a precautionary measure to avoid clipping heels. Thereafter ASTRO MAN was trapped wide and was unable to shift inwards approaching the 500M due to the position of BIG PARIS to his inside.

Acting on the veterinary advice that GERMANIC (HS Gill) had sustained laceration over the forehead, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 12:03pm. GERMANIC will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

SOUTHERN MAN (J Mallyon) jumped awkwardly outwards, had to be checked inwards to avoid contact with CRAZY CLUB (App CK Khaw) and raced ungenerously in the early stages.

TAUBOSS (C Goon) showed no pace in the early stages despite being urged and laid outwards under pressure in the straight. TAUBOSS will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having difficult racing manners.

When questioned, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of FEISTY LEO, reported that although he was able to obtain a handy early position, FEISTY LEO responded moderately in the straight and felt flat overall. When asked by the Stewards if he had been disappointed for a run approaching the 200M, Jockey J De Souza explained that the gap between GREENSTONE (Z Khairil) and LUCKY SIXTYSIX (HK Cheng) was sufficient if his mount had been good enough. Jockey J De Souza reported after the race that the gelding was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of FEISTY LEO revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

GORDON G (App CK Khaw) was slow to find its stride.

PREMIUM RUSH (S Ruzaini) sat back as the gate opened and was slowly away. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

ROC THAT (C Goon) raced wide in the middle stages.

Between the 500M and the 300M, TWO SHAKES (App WK Lee) was disappointed for a clear run on the heels of MAREA NEGRO (S Anandan).

At about the 100M, MAREA NEGRO laid inwards and brushed with AUSSIE EAGLE (R Rueven).

App WK Lee, the rider of TWO SHAKES, reported that his horse raced greenly throughout.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App AM Aizat, the rider of ELEGENT, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 900M, he allowed his mount to shift inwards and cross ENERGIZER (O Chavez) when not clear causing Jockey O Chavez to take evasive action.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App AM Aizat’s 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 22 October 2018 and to expire on 28 October 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:51pm).

When questioned about the disappointing performance of SPIN FIRE, Trainer SB Tan, the trainer of SPIN FIRE, stated that he had instructed Jockey L Sofhan to ride the gelding slightly more conservatively today as he was racing over a longer distance. He added that Jockey L Sofhan reported post-race that the gelding finished tired. B Trainer MW Teh stated that in his opinion, SPIN FIRE is better suited by a firmer surface than today’s track condition. A post-race veterinary examination of SPIN FIRE revealed no significant finding. SPIN FIRE will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards causing SCRAT (C Goon) to be taken inwards and to be bumped with I HAVE A DREAM (Z Khairil).

WINGED FOOT (J Low) was slow to find its stride.

NOVA WARRIOR (S Ruzaini) over-raced in the early stages.

TH MAXIMS (HK Cheng), which raced well-back in the field, was denied any opportunity to make progress in the middle stages before being switched inside approaching the 400M to obtain a run on the rail. However, at this stage, Jockey HK Cheng was forced to shift outwards to avoid the heels of SCRAT which rolled inwards under pressure. Thereafter TH MAXIMS finished off the race well despite Jockey HK Cheng getting his whip tangled in his rein between the 400M and the 200M.

BACK TO THE TOWERS (S Anandan) jumped inwards and brushed with GOOD DEAL (L Sofhan).

MEIZU (HS Gill) was slow to begin.

GOOD DEAL showed no pace in the early stages.

At about the 1000M, BACK TO THE TOWERS commenced to over-race and had to be restrained to avoid the heels of PLATOON (App AM Aizat) approaching the 800M.

Approaching the 300M, PLATOON was shifted outwards to maintain a clear passage when HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza) rolled inwards towards the rail and was thereafter angled outwards around GOOD INTENTIONS (A Aucharuz) at about the 200M to obtain a clear run.

From about the 150M, IDEAL GUIDE (App WW Cheah) was disappointed for a run on the heels of HARVEYWALLBANGER.

RACE 8 (R1315) METRO A (SW) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

Acting on the veterinary advice that ROSELLI (Z Khairil) was lame near fore, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:03pm. ROSELLI will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

GARIZA (O Chavez) jumped outwards and brushed with STEP BY STEP (HS Gill).

CONDADO (App CK Khaw) got its head up at the jump, was slow to begin and was slow to find its stride despite being urged.

BROWCOW (HK Cheng) which was drawn outside, was trapped wide throughout.

Jockey J Mallyon, the rider of SATELLITE BOY which was eased in the closing stages, reported to a Stipendiary Steward post-race that the gelding was making respiratory noises. He was reminded of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 44(11) to report anything which may affect the performances of his mounts as soon as possible and that he should make such report at the scales.

RACE 9 (R1316) CLASS 3 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

JERAM VILLAGE (Z Khairil) was slow to begin.

PRINCE RAVEN (S Ruzaini) was slow to find its stride.

COMMANDO ECLIPSE (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards and brushed with MR WOLFF (Y Aify).

OUT OF NOWHERE (A Aucharuz) laid inwards in the early stages, forcing the rider to ease and correct to avoid contact with HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya).

Approaching the 50M, MR WOLFF rolled inwards under pressure causing Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of PRINCE RAVEN to check in response.

At about the 50M, BLACK THORN (C Goon) was forced to shift outwards abruptly to avoid the heels of D’GREAT EMINENCE (J Low).

When questioned regarding the performance of HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya), Trainer C Leck stated that the gelding was ideally suited by a longer distance than the 1300M of today’s race and that when he won over 1300M on 9 September 2018, it was in a lower class.

He added that he had instructed App A Suriya to ride HIGH COUNCIL from a mid-to-back position as he feels that the gelding lacks the pace to race prominently over the 1300M. In his opinion, HIGH COUNCIL had performed disappointingly and was perhaps feeling the effect of a busy racing schedule.

The Stewards noted his explanation and reminded of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to inform the Stewards prior to the race if any of his runners are to be ridden in a manner different to their most recent start or starts. Trainer C Leck was informed that he could inform the Stewards in person or through an assistant.

RACE 10 (R1317) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

Trainer M Sukri was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on SWIFT (S Anandan). 

JUBILATION (App N Varmah) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 100M, KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) laid inwards under pressure and brushed with THANK YOU BOSS (A Aucharuz) which was taken slightly inwards.

Inquiries will be held at a date to be fixed regarding the running and handling of JUBILATION, which raced in a detached last place in the early and middle stages, and the running and handling of STREET OF LONDON (Z Khairil) and MR CONNERY (App WW Cheah) which both raced well-back in the field and were never competitive.

RACE 11 (R1318) CLASS 5 (A) – 1800M (LONG COURSE B)

ONFLEEK (J Low) which was fractious at the starting gates, reared up and hit its head. Acting on veterinary advice that ONFLEEK was bleeding from its nostrils, the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 5:47pm. The Club Veterinary Surgeon subsequently reported that ONFLEEK died of a suspected brain haemorrhage.

ORION (App CK Khaw) jumped inwards, causing SPEED CRAFT (J De Souza) to be taken inwards onto LIM’S MASTER (App WK Lee) which shied inwards in response.

At about the 400M, COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez) commenced to lay inwards causing VERGLATICA (S Ruzaini) to be taken inwards and the gap to narrow between VERGLATICA and JJ STAR (S Salee). At this point, SOON SEEKER (A Aucharuz) had to be eased out of the gap to avoid the heels of JJ STAR, causing GOLD MOSA (App AM Aizat) to be shifted outwards to avoid his heels.

At about the 200M, COMMODORE LINCOLN laid in abruptly under pressure despite the rider’s best efforts, causing VERGLATICA to be taken inwards and SOON SEEKER to be checked to avoid the heels of VERGLATICA. At this point, ORION (App CK Khaw) was also crowded to the inside of SOON SEEKER. Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of SOON SEEKER which finished fourth, reported that but for this incident, he would have achieved a better placing.

At about the 50M, SOON SEEKER was shifted outwards away from the heels of VERGLATICA, taking LIM’S MASTER slightly outwards towards GOLD MOSA. GOLD MOSA was then bumped inwards by SPEED CRAFT in the last few strides, causing him to abruptly cross LIM’S MASTER which clipped heels and blundered.

After reviewing the vision of this incident, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

RACE 12 (R1319) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

SATELLITE GOLDEN (S Ruzaini) which dislodged its rider and ran loose for several minutes before being apprehended in the saddling area, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the Starting Stall) test before being declared to race again.

GALLOPY SWIFT (J Mallyon) backed out of the barrier and when reinstalled, became cast. The Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 6:20pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

SUPREME STAR (App WK Lee) was slow to begin.

RANT AND RAVE (J Low) laid outwards and lost ground at about the 500M.

Approaching the 100M, PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) shifted in slightly causing PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat), which was racing in restricted room, to be awkwardly placed on the heels of LIM’S ACTION (App L De Souza) and to shift inwards causing SUPER EIGHT (O Chavez) to be crowded next to the rail. PERFECT PEARL had to be gathered and corrected by his rider who was then unable to ride with his full vigour to the finish.

MAJOR IMPROVEMENT (J De Souza) was pulled up in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of MAJOR IMPROVEMENT 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.

App WK Lee, the rider of SUPREME STAR, reported that the saddle on his horse slipped backwards during running. A post-race veterinary examination of SUPREME STAR 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 1 (R1236) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), NEW DAWN STAKES, SUNDAY, 7 OCTOBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards opened an inquiry into the running and handling of TOTALITY in the above race. They took evidence from Trainer WC Lim who on 7 October 2018, had made a complaint to the Stewards about Jockey S Sandana’s failure to follow his riding instructions.

Trainer WC Lim stated that he had instructed Jockey S Sandana to ride a forward race and take a position just behind the leader which he expected to be his stable mate, NOVA EAGLE (S Ruzaini). He felt that Jockey S Sandana had restrained TOTALITY unnecessarily in the early stages and not obtained the best possible run as a result. He accepted that TOTALITY had suffered interference in the closing stages from the winner.

The inquiry was adjourned in order to take evidence from Jockey S Sandana.
