An inquiry was opened into the riding tactics on ARC CARA (HK Cheng) and Trainer S Dunderdale and Jockey HK Cheng, the trainer and rider of ARC CARA, were both questioned. Trainer S Dunderdale advised the Stewards that after assessing the race composition, he considered there was no early pace in the race and as such, instructed that ARC CARA lead. He stated that he believed that the gelding would benefit from a soft lead.

Jockey HK Cheng confirmed this instruction and further advised that his saddle had slipped backwards passing the 800M which had exacerbated the issues. 

After considering the race sectional timing of ARC CARA’s previous start and this start, the Stewards were satisfied that ARC CARA had been ridden in similar fashion.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 1 (R587) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 12 MAY 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 17 May 2019 (Friday) at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded the adjourned inquiry into the running and handling of ARECIBO. Evidence was taken from Jockey J De Souza and Trainer R Lines, the Jockey and Trainer of ARECIBO respectively.

Trainer R Lines advised the Stewards that he had instructed that ARECIBO not be forced early as he believed there would be significant pace in the race and also, it would be better given the gelding’s significant handicapped weight. He was of the opinion that ARECIBO was disappointing under significant riding in the straight.

Jockey J De Souza stated that he had not forced ARECIBO on jumping but had not restrained the gelding but had then niggled at ARECIBO near the 1000M in an attempt to keep in touch with the mid division. He further stated when struck with the whip, ARECIBO had commenced to raise its head in the air and he considered that although ridden strongly with the whip in the straight, ARECIBO had been disappointing.

After considering this evidence, the Stewards did not believe they could not substantiate a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards, however, Jockey J De Souza was advised of their dissatisfaction and warned him that he must ride every horse positively at all stages in future. Trainer R Lines was reminded of his obligations to instruct that horses be ridden in a consistent manner unless prior approval is granted by the Stewards.

RACE 8 (R583) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 11 MAY 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 17 May 2019 (Friday) at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of MYSTIC MASTER. Evidence was taken from App A Zaimuddin, the rider of MYSTIC MASTER, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim, who is also the Trainer of MYSTIC MASTER.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of MYSTIC MASTER, pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being:

1. He restrained MYSTIC MASTER from the start and caused it to lose its position until approximately the 1000M mark, being restrained from the 4^th placing to approximately the 7^th placing;
2. He continued to restrain heavily MYSTIC MASTER from the 800M until well in the straight at about the 350M when in the clear;
3. He exercised no vigour when behind CONDADO until about the 225M, before CONDADO shifted in; and
4. His whip riding was not consistent with his proper whip usage and in the opinion of the Stewards, this amounts to flicking of the whip.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App A Zaimuddin’s guilty plea, his mitigating factors and related record. App A Zaimuddin was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months with effect from 27 May 2019 and to expire on 26 November 2019, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of the suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:15pm).

ELITE CONQUEROR (C Goon) and MAREA NEGRO (S Anandan) were slow to begin.

TAN TAN (App A Zaimuddin) brushed the gate on jumping.

Shortly after the start, TAN TAN was crowded on the inside of RAJA MAHKOTA (App CK Khaw). TAN TAN then shifted inwards, bumping BRAVE MALALA (App J Daniel) which made heavy contact with HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza). App A Zaimuddin was shown the film of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

An inquiry was held into App L De Souza’s ride on HARVEYWALLBANGER. Trainer R Lines advised the Stewards that he considered that the pace would be hectic and as such HARVEYWALLBANGER was to be ridden in midfield. He added that further, the gelding had won only once when leading but under different circumstances. He was of the opinion also that the 1100M of today’s race was shorter than the gelding’s best distance.

App L De Souza stated that he had received considerable pressure from outside runners shortly after the start which took him further back than anticipated. After riding the horse vigourously, it had made good ground but was unable to make up leeway caused by the early interference.

The particulars of the charge were that his whip action had failed to satisfy the Stewards in that several attempts and projections of his whip use had not made contact with WHITE CHIN.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Ruzaini’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Jockey S Ruzaini was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 20 May 2019 and to expire on 19 June 2019, both dates inclusive.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2019

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

RACE 1 (R576)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Acting on the veterinary advice that BLACK DIAMOND was found to be lame off fore, it was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 12:45pm. BLACK DIAMOND will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

RED EASTERN (C Goon) was slow into stride.

After being slow to begin, MORALES (App A Zaimuddin) was struck on the shoulder by the whip of App A Zaimuddin. App A Zaimuddin was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(c)(i) for hitting his horse forward of the shoulder at the start and again approaching the 1100M.

At the 1300M, VALERIUS (J Low) shifted in, and crowded MEWTWO (Y Aify) and FLY HIGH (App CK Khaw). Jockey J Low was reprimanded and advised that a repetition would lead to suspension.

Approaching the 900M, RED EASTERN (C Goon) and NOVA BATTLE (HK Cheng) bumped. RED EASTERN then raced wide throughout. When questioned, Jockey C Goon stated that after jumping poorly, he was trapped wide and had been unable to get in when the horse was tiring in the straight. Jockey C Goon was reminded of his obligations to ride his mount fully to the end of the race.

FLY HIGH was inclined to lay outwards at 275M and again at the 150M, bumping with MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah).

 RACE 2 (R577)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LIGHTNING HERO (J Low) was slow into stride and shortly after the start, eased when SUPER BUFFALO (C Goon) shifted in.

Running to the 1100M, HAHA BABE (S Salee) threw its head and raced ungenerously. Jockey S Salee was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(b) for using his whip in an excessive manner on HAHA BABE. 

ONE O NINE (HK Cheng) travelled wide from the 1100M until straightening.

A post-race veterinary examination of SCORPION KING (S Ruzaini) revealed that it bled and will now suffer the disability of MRA Rule 92(3) (barred 3 months), and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

Trainer C Leck was questioned regarding the change of tactics on LIGHTNING HERO and he stated that when ridden on the pace in its last recent starts, the gelding had stopped badly and a review to its previous starts had suggested that LIGHTNING HERO was better suited by being ridden midfield, and as such he instructed the rider in this manner.

When questioned as to why his horse was ridden in a rearward position, Jockey J Low said that he had been instructed to ride in this manner but also LIGHTNING HERO had not jumped well, was behind the pace in the early stages and held further back than anticipated.

Trainer C Leck was warned of his obligations to advise the Stewards on any change of tactics of all his horses.

RACE 3 (R578)         OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

At the 1450M, COLD WAR (S Ruzaini) shifted in, crowding BEAUTIFUL ONE (App S Uzair) which tightened NASI LEMAK (App J Daniel).

BEAUTIFUL ONE raced wide from the 700M until straightening.

MERCHANT MARINE (App A Suriya) dropped his whip at about the 500M. App A Suriya was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

RACE 4 (R579)         CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Trainer WC Lim was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on CATCH ME GREAT (Y Aify).

MASTER JIANGMEN (J Low) was slow to begin.

CHAR SIEW (HK Cheng) and FRANCES (App L De Souza) raced wide in the middle stages.

App A Suriya allowed HYDRANT to drift outwards from the 250M, which CATCH ME GREAT (Y Aify) also drifted outwards. App A Suriya was reprimanded for failing to straighten his mount when it shifted.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Y Aify, the rider of CATCH ME GREAT, placed second, against HYDRANT (App A Suriya), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 150M. 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.

The Stewards inquired into the riding of ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin). Trainer BT Lim advised that it had been his intention to have the horse ridden off the pace as it had not finished off its races to his satisfaction recently

App A Zaimuddin statated that although ELITE ROCKET had begun well, he had been quickly covered by other runners and the gelding had travelled well but was inclined to get its head in the air when he had pushed it out and the horse drifted out, bumping another runner in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of ELITE ROCKET 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.

On considering this matter, the Stewards considered that whilst the horse was ridden contrary to its previous form and a significant veterinary report, as such they took no further action.

 RACE 5 (R580)         CLASS 4 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 2:50pm.

When questioned, Jockey J De Souza stated that HUSSONATOR has a history of being reluctant to start and as such he had used his whip to engage the gelding to proceed. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards warned Jockey J De Souza for using his whip excessively.

When crowded inside the heels of PREMIUM RUSH (App S Uzair) near the 1000M, NORTHERN KNIGHT (R Shafiq) struck the running rail.

He added that when crowded near the 300M, PANCA DELIMA had dropped the bit and lost ground quickly.  A post-race veterinary examination of PANCA DELIMA revealed no significant finding.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HK Cheng, the rider of BLACK THORN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that passing the 200M, CONDADO (App L De Souza) shifted in, crowding EATONS GOLD (App CK Khaw). At the same time, BLACK THORN (HK Cheng) was taken outwards to obtain a clear run and caused CONFLIGHT (App WW Cheah) to be steadied.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2019

SUNDAY, 7 APRIL 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 6), upgraded to “Good” after Race 6.

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 (R424) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

NORMAN (Z Khairil) was slow to begin.

TAKE A BOW (App S Uzair) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 400M, TARZAN (Y Aify) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running. TARZAN laid inwards at about the 200M, and had to be eased and corrected.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of TAKE A BOW, Trainer L Moy stated that he had recently increased the intensity of the gelding’s training regime which perhaps had not been beneficial.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark
1	RANT AND RAVE	Nail prick off fore foot	1000M/vet		Course scratching
1	MR MIURA	Chronic near fore tendonitis	1000M/vet		Course scratching
Note: The above horse(s) will be required to pass the above test(s) before being declared to race again.

RACE 2 (R425) OPEN NOVICE (SW) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

SONNY BILL (HS Gill) was slow to begin. When questioned, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of SONNY BILL, stated that he regularly rides the gelding and that it had displayed a similar tendency to jump slowly in the past. The Stewards noted that SONNY BILL had been required to trial after jumping very slowly in Perak on 5 January 2019. Jockey HS Gill added that he tried to motivate SONNY BILL in the early stages and urged him forward which caused the gelding to over-race and therefore be caught wide from the 1000M.

At about the 1400M, READY TO RULE (J De Souza) was shifted inwards, causing PREMIUM RUSH (App S Uzair), which was over-racing, and CASEY (S Ruzaini) to be crowded between READY TO RULE and MR WASHINGTON (App L De Souza). Jockey J De Souza was shown the vision of the incident and was severely warned by the Stewards the he must leave sufficient space for horses on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 1200M, ROMAN WELLS (J Low) which was over-racing, was shifted outwards to avoid running onto the heels of MYSTICAL STAR (Z Khairil).

At about the 400M, ROMAN WELLS was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and then laid inwards under pressure when tiring in the last 200M.

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of OVERSEER, dropped his whip at about the 200M. He was shown the vision of the incident and was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

Jockey Y Aify was warned by the Stewards for using his whip on SMIDDY BYRNE forward of the shoulder at about the 200M.

When questioned over the improved form shown by BLUE EYED BOY (KC Wong), Trainer S Edwards stated that the gelding had been disappointing in his previous start. He stated that he had no firm opinion as the cause of the improvement today but speculated that perhaps the “Yielding” track was in the gelding’s favour today and that he was suited by extremely patient tactics.

RACE 3 (R426) CLASS 4 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

ELITE GOLD (C Goon) jumped outwards and was slow to find its stride.

TRIPLE ONE STAR (App L De Souza) was slow to begin.

MOMENT OF JUSTICE (J Low) was bumped outwards by ELITE GOLD at the jump and brushed with DROUGHT (Z Khairil).

At about the 1200M, MARY KING (Y Aify) rolled inwards causing DROUGHT to be briefly eased.

WE’RE THE WORLD (HK Cheng) laid outwards at about the 500M and negotiated the bend with difficulty. WE’RE THE WORLD commenced to lay inwards from the 400M and was eased in the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination of WE’RE THE WORLD 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.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App CK Khaw, the rider of BRILLIANT DEAL, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that just inside the 400M, he allowed his mount to shift inwards whilst using his whip in his right hand, causing SUN SEEKER (S Anandan) to be checked and CUBAN HEEL (J De Souza) to be slightly inconvenienced.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App CK Khaw’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 8 April 2019 and to expire on 20 April 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:35pm).

Approaching the 200M, LAUGHING BUFFALO (App S Uzair) laid outwards under pressure.

At about the 200M, MOMENT OF JUSTICE (J Low) laid inwards causing ELITE GOLD and BRILLIANT DEAL to be slightly crowded on his inside.

In the last 100M, BRILLIANT DEAL rolled outwards under pressure.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of MOMENT OF JUSTICE, Trainer M Sukri stated that this was the gelding’s first run under his training, therefore he was unable to offer any confident explanation but added that MOMENT OF JUSTICE may have been suited by the “Yielding” track conditions.

RACE 4 (R427) CLASS 4 – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

SPECIAL STAKES

CHAR KWAY TEOW (App N Varmah) jumped outwards causing GROUND CONTROL (HS Gill) to be crowded on the inside of MR HOPKINS (S Ruzaini).

JJ STAR (J Low) had to be urged in the early stages to maintain a forward position.

Approaching the 200M, JJ STAR laid inwards causing GROUND CONTROL to be taken slightly inwards onto GREENSTONE (Z Khairil) which was checked when already weakening. After viewing the vision of the incident, the Stewards were unable to attribute blame to any one rider and deemed it a racing incident.

App CK Khaw, the rider of SUNNY, was warned by the Stewards for dropping his whip in the last 100M.

When questioned regarding the different tactics employed on GREENSTONE, Trainer L Moy stated that it was never his or Jockey Z Khairil’s intention to make the running but that GREENSTONE over-raced and pulled his way forward into the lead. Trainer L Moy added that GREENSTONE behaved in similar fashion before when previously tried over an extended distance.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App N Varmah, the rider of CHAR KWAY TEOW, in the presence of his Master, Trainer C Leck, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at the 800M, he allowed his mount to roll inwards causing JJ STAR to be eased to avoid CHAR KWAY TEOW’s heels and GROUND CONTROL, which was racing on JJ STAR’s inside and SACRED EMPIRE (O Chavez), which was following GROUND CONTROL, to be eased in turn.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App N Varmah’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 8 April 2019 and to expire on 14 April 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:40pm).

RACE 5 (R428) METRO A – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

STAYER STAKES

Trainer S Ellis was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 109(1) for failing to present BROTHER WIND (O Chavez) at the pre-race holding area within the prescribed time. 

At about the 400M, BROTHER WIND rolled inwards which caused LA FAMILIA (Y Aify) to be awkwardly placed on the heels of ROYAL EXPLORER (Z Khairil) and to shift inwards for clear running.

SHELLOMADA (HS Gill) laid inwards under pressure between the 200M and the 100M.

At about 100M, SATELLITE PRINCE (S Ruzaini) shifted abruptly outwards causing LISTEN (KC Wong) to be eased in order to avoid his heels.

RACE 6 (R429) 4 YEAR OLD RACE – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

E SUPREME (S Anandan) jumped awkwardly outwards and bumped TAUROS (App S Uzair) onto SPARKLE LOT (J De Souza) which was crowded on the inside of BELLA VELOCE.

At the 400M, NICATOR (App CK Khaw) was disappointed for a run on the heels of SPARKLE LOT.

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

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark
6	TOM KING	Nail prick near fore foot	1000M/vet		Course scratching
Note: The above horse(s) will be required to pass the above test(s) before being declared to race again.

RACE 7 (R430) CLASS 3 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

BACK TO THE TOWERS (S Anandan) was slow to begin. When questioned, Jockey S Anandan stated that BACK TO THE TOWERS sat backwards as the barrier opened. The Stewards reviewed the vision of the jump and accepted Jockey S Anandan’s explanation.

Approaching the 900M, BACK TO THE TOWERS which was racing in restricted room between FIRST DANCE (Y Aify) and RACER KING (S Muniandy), became unbalanced and buffeted with RACER KING when FIRST DANCE was shifted slightly inwards to avoid the heels of EASTER MATE (KC Wong). The Stewards inquired into this incident and having heard the evidence tendered, warned Jockey KC Wong, the rider of EASTER MATE, that he must show greater awareness of runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

At the 800M, EASTER MATE was following D’GREAT VULTURE (CK Khaw) which slowed, causing EASTER MATE to be eased. METALLOCENE (Z Khairil) was forced wide by EASTER MATE in this incident and thereafter raced wide in the middle stages.

At about the 500M, BACK TO THE TOWERS was denied a run on the heels of FIRST DANCE and METALLOCENE.

D’GREAT VULTURE laid inwards under pressure approaching the 200M.

At about the 200M, CONDADO (App WW Cheah) laid slightly outwards.

RACE 8 (R431) OPEN NOVICE (SW) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer M Sukri was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 109(1) for failing to present VOLUMINOUS (Y Aify) and GUNFORHIRE (J De Souza) at the pre-race holding area within the prescribed time. 

VOLUMINOUS was unable to be boxed and was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:31pm. The mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

GUNFORHIRE (J De Souza) stood still as the gates opened, was very slowly away and then raced ungenerously. Jockey J De Souza reported that the colt showed little enthusiasm. GUNFORHIRE which was beaten 12 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

EBTIHAAL (S Anandan) jumped awkwardly outwards and caused CONSERVATION (S Muniandy) to be tightened on the inside of GENERAL MARSHALL (HS Gill) which was taken outwards.

GENERAL MARSHALL commenced to over-race approaching the 1000M and had to be restrained to avoid the heels of CONFEAT (O Chavez). Thereafter, GENERAL MARSHALL was positioned at the back of the field and had to be taken wide out to challenge in the straight.

Approaching the 200M, CONFEAT laid inwards under pressure causing SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (S Ruzaini) to be taken inwards and check CONSERVATION.

Approaching the 150M, MISE EN GARDE (Z Khairil) rolled inwards and brushed with NEVERSAYNEVER (App S Uzair) before being corrected.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of CONFEAT, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his mount to shift in away from the whip when not sufficiently clear of SYMPHONY ECLIPSE causing that horse to be taken inwards and cause interference to CONSERVATION.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey O Chavez’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 8 April 2019 and to expire on 14 April 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:20pm).

RACE 9 (R432) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SHOWAR (J Low) jumped outwards causing BIG SUPER (C Goon) to be taken outwards onto WINGED FOOT (KC Wong) which lost its early position as a consequence.

PLACE YOUR BET (App S Uzair) was slow to begin.

Between the 1000M and the 900M, KUTTNER (HK Cheng) displayed a tendency to lay inwards causing Jockey KC Wong, the rider of WINGED FOOT, to ease in order to avoid the heels of KUTTNER.

Approaching the 100M, SWEET LODGE (App WW Cheah) was disappointed for a run on the heels of SHOWAR and had to be shifted abruptly inwards.

Jockey KC Wong, the rider of WINGED FOOT reported that having suffered interference at the 900M, his mount was placed too far back in the field. A post-race veterinary examination of WINGED FOOT revealed that it was lame near fore and exhibiting signs of respiratory distress, and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

When questioned about the improved form shown by HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza), Trainer R Lines stated that the gelding had displayed good early pace previously and that his instructions were to ride a forward race from the inside barrier. He added that HARVEYWALLBANGER was able to lead without coming under serious pressure and benefited from being able to dictate.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2019

SATURDAY, 6 APRIL 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 4), upgraded to “Good” after Race 4.

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 (R414) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

LIM’S GREETING (HS Gill) was slow to begin.

At about the 1150M, POLO GAGA (Z Khairil) shifted inwards causing JET ACE (O Chavez) to be eased. Jockey Z Khairil was shown the vision of the incident and warned to take greater care when crossing in front of rivals under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 900M, JET ACE was eased to avoid running onto the heels of POLO GAGA.

Approaching the 200M, TILSWORTH JOSHI (S Muniandy) was disappointed for a run on the heels of SEA HORIZON (App L De Souza) and was forced to shift outwards just inside the 200M for clear running.

At about the 100M, JET ACE was struck twice in quick succession over the nose by the whip of Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of POLO GAGA. After viewing the vision of the incident, the Stewards were unable to attribute blame to any one rider and deemed it a racing incident.

When questioned regarding the different tactics employed on SEA HORIZON, Trainer R Lines stated that the gelding does not normally lead in its races, and he was surprised that he had the speed to do so on this occasion. He added that in his opinion, the race was run at a slow pace. His attention was drawn to the provisions of MRA Rule 117(3) which relates to inconsistent and unreliable running.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of HYDRANT (J Low), Trainer C Leck stated that this was the weakest race the gelding had contested and it had benefitted from a drop in grade on this occasion.

GLORY KID (App A Suriya) was slow to begin.

GERMAN SPEED (S Anandan) brushed with TALISMAN (App S Uzair) on jumping and thereafter was slow to find its stride.

GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) raced keenly in the middle stages, ran onto the heels of ZOLVED (App WW Cheah) at the 600M, and blundered badly. After reviewing the vision of the incident, the Stewards were unable to attribute blame to any one rider and deemed it a racing incident. App L De Souza lost both irons in this incident, and was thereafter unable to ride out GOOD VIBRATIONS which was eased out of the race from the 400M.

GERMAN SPEED had to be shifted outwards approaching the 200M to obtain clear running.

In the last few strides, VELLENEX GENERAL (S Ruzaini) was crowded against the rail by  RAINBOW CENTRE (Y Aify) which laid gradually inwards.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of the winner, GERMAN SPEED, Trainer BT Lim stated that the gelding was having its second start after a spell and had improved in fitness and condition for its run the previous week. He added that the horse was suited by the “Yielding’ track condition.

At the 400M, ASHQAR (Y Aify) was disappointed for a run on the heels of SO ON (HS Gill) but was able to obtain a clear passage as SO ON shifted gradually off the rail.

BEIJING STAR (S Ruzaini) laid outwards under pressure from the 300M.

RACE 4 (R417) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SHARON’S STAR (App S Uzair) jumped inwards causing L’KEN (App WW Cheah) to be crowded and carried inwards onto JERAM VILLAGE (Z Khairil) which was also inconvenienced.

MR MOSA (App L De Souza) raced wide in the middle stages.

BLACK THORN (HK Cheng) was outpaced in the middle stages.

Approaching the 300M, ALLIED POWER (O Chavez) laid inwards and brush with MORE POWER (App CK Khaw) which was taken slightly inwards into the path of SHARON’S STAR (App S Uzair), which was following.

Approaching the 200M, SHARON’S STAR was shifted inwards for a run on the inside of EL TORDILLO (HS Gill) and at the 200M, BLACK THORN was switched outwards around SHARON’S STAR which had shifted inwards.

At the 200M, MORE POWER compounded causing L’KEN which was following, to be shifted outwards.

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

RACE 5 (R418) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GAZOO (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

SATTAR (S Ruzaini) threw its head up on jumping, and raced ungenerously for the first few strides.

VOLANTE GENERAL (S Anandan) was slow to find its stride.

SILVER POWER (Z Khairil) stepped inwards on jumping.

At the 1100M, SECKILL (C Goon) commenced to lay outwards and raced awkwardly causing SMART MASTER (KC Wong) to be taken slightly outwards and brush with MACHUNG STAR (J Low) which was turned inwards.

When questioned, Jockey J Low, the rider of MACHUNG STAR, reported that having been turned inwards at the 1100M, he lost momentum, forfeited ground and was then caught on the heels of SECKILL which laid persistently outwards. He added that at about the 1000M, Jockey C Goon, the rider of SECKILL, eased his mount in an attempt to correct and due to this, MACHUNG STAR became trapped on his heels and was shuffled back.

At about the 500M, SMART MASTER was disappointed for a run on the heels of SECKILL.

Approaching the 400M, SILVER POWER laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty causing MAREA NEGRO (App A Suriya) to be taken outwards in turn.

From the 300M, MACHUNG STAR laid inwards under pressure.

Approaching the 200M, SECKILL commenced to lay outwards under pressure.

When questioned regarding the improved form shown by SECKILL, Trainer BT Lim stated that the gelding had benefitted from a positive ride from an advantageous inside barrier. The Stewards drew his attention to his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8), which requires the Trainer to notify the Stewards if he intends a horse to be ridden in a manner different to its most recent start or starts.

RACE 6 (R419) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

ROCK EAGLE (HK Cheng) which reared in the gates, dislodged and winded his rider, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 4:04pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again due to his unruliness.

App L De Souza, the rider of RAINBOW FISH, reported that the gelding sat back in the barrier and was slow to begin. He was therefore unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to get a good jump and sit in 4^th or 5^th position. A post-race veterinary examination of RAINBOW FISH revealed no significant finding.

READY TO DANCE (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

HAPPY BABY (C Goon) was outpaced in the early stages.

ELITE GENERAL (HS Gill), which was drawn outside, raced wide throughout. ELITE GENERAL, which was beaten 14 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 7 (R420) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 4:40pm.

Approaching the 400M, POWERFUL FIGHTER (J De Souza) laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty.

Approaching the 200M, SUN FORCE (S Anandan) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of ARC CARA (HK Cheng) but in doing so, rolled outwards causing RUSSELL THE CROWE (KC Wong) to be taken outwards onto SPEEDY DEMON (S Muniandy) which in turn became crowded on the inside of JUBILATION (App A Suriya).

All riders returned to scale an average of 1kg overweight due to the adverse weather conditions.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App S Uzair, the rider of SOON SEEKER, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

1. He rode with insufficient vigour between the 400M and the 100M when SOON SEEKER was staying on strongly and making up ground.
2. He unnecessarily restrained SOON SEEKER approaching the 200M.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Uzair’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. App S Uzair was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months with effect from Monday, 8 April 2019 and to expire on 7 October 2019, both days inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:25pm).

RACE 8 (R421) CLASS 3 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:15pm.

MYSTIC MASTER (HS Gill) jumped outwards, causing CONFLIGHT (O Chavez), LUCKY JUSTICE (App CK Khaw) and SACRED GALAXY (KC Wong) to be tightened for room on the inside of GABBAR (S Anandan).

In the first few strides, GABBAR received contact from SACRED GALAXY (KC Wong) on his inside, became unbalanced and laid outwards causing FIRST PRECINCT (S Muniandy) which was following, to be shifted outwards.

FIRST PRECINCT was outpaced in the early stages.

LUCKY JUSTICE (App CK Khaw) laid inwards under pressure at about the 200M.

All riders returned to scale an average of 1 1/2kgs overweight due to the adverse weather conditions.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 12 (R405) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 31 MARCH 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 6 April 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of I’M A GENIUS. They questioned Jockey HK Cheng and took evidence from Trainer S Hamilton.

Jockey HK Cheng stated that his instructions were to settle the gelding in a mid-to-back position and that having done so, I’M A GENIUS finished the race well, leading him to advise the trainer to try a longer distance next time.

The Stewards warned Jockey HK Cheng that in future he must take opportunities to improve his position when they present themselves, and when making his finishing effort, he must ride in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

RACE 4 (R397) AINTREE PARK CHALLENGE CUP – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 31 MARCH 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2019

The attention of all parties was drawn to the provisions of MRA Rule 117(4) which specifies that the jockey’s instructions must come from the Trainer, not the Owner. However, the Stewards accepted that on this occasion the Owner, Navaneethasingham a/l A Ratnasingham, had merely acknowledged the race plan suggested to him by his experienced and successful Jockey. They otherwise accepted the explanations tendered with regard to the running and handling of CONFEAT.

EAGLE SOAR (J De Souza) over-raced without cover in the early and middle stages.

At about the 900M, SPARKLER (KC Wong) was briefly placed in restricted room on the inside of MR MIURA (Y Aify).

At about the 150M, FORTUNE SPIRIT (S Anandan) was briefly eased in order to improve through a narrowing gap between SPARKLER and RAINBOW CENTRE (Z Khairil).

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of MR MIURA, Trainer WC Lim was stated that MR MIURA has just returned from a spell and may have been rusty. A post-race veterinary examination of MR MIURA revealed no significant finding.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of the winner, SIR HENRY (App N Varmah), Trainer  C Leck stated that the mare had recently returned to his training after spending some time with another Trainer, had trialled well, and he confidently expected a good run today.

ZENZERO (J Low) which was reluctant to proceed to the post, was slow to begin and raced ungenerously in the early stages.

ARLO (App A Suriya) was slow to begin

MAGIC RANGER (HS Gill) was pushed into the lead in the early stages but thereafter failed to settle and over-raced.

Approaching the 500M, THAI BAHT (M Ganeesh) laid inwards, causing AUSSIE EAGLE (KC Wong) to be eased in order to avoid its heels.

At about the 400M, THAI BAHT was denied a run on the heels of MAGIC RANGER (HS Gill) and had to be eased back, and shifted outwards around the heels of MAGIC RANGER and DEE MAJULAH (R Woodworth).

MAGIC RANGER laid inwards under pressure at the 300M and had to be corrected to avoid contact with SMOOTHLY (S Ruzaini).

At about the 100M, NOVA BATTLE (HK Cheng) attempted to improve against the rail on the inside of MR EPIC (App CK Khaw) but shied away from the whip of App CK Khaw and brushed the rail at about the 50M.

BASTION (Z Khairil) which was beaten 16 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

US DOLLAR (M Ganeesh) threw its head up on jumping, and was slow to begin as a consequence.

PLACE YOUR BET (App S Uzair) stood still as the gates opened and was slow to begin.

D’GREAT SONG (App CK Khaw) jumped awkwardly inwards and then commenced to lay inwards, forcing the rider to ease and correct. CATCH ME GREAT (Y Aify) was forced to ease in order to avoid the heels of D’GREAT SONG.

MURDOCH (App N Varmah) was shifted inwards after jumping but then commenced to lay inwards despite the rider’s attempt to straighten and brushed with the rail. Thereafter MURDOCH raced ungenerously. MURDOCH, which laid persistently inwards throughout the race, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having difficult racing manners.

At about the 400M, SAM THE MAN (App L De Souza) was denied a run on the heels of LIM’S SINCERE (C Goon) which compounded.

Approaching the 100M, BAHAR (S Ruzaini) shifted outwards under pressure when not clear of SAND BANK (J De Souza) causing SAND BANK to be taken outwards. SAM THE MAN was taken outwards in turn by SAND BANK causing MY GOODNESS to be inconvenienced. Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of BAHAR, was shown the vision of this incident and warned that he must take all possible measures to keep his horses straight under similar circumstances in future.

When questioned regarding his vigour in the straight, Jockey J Low, the rider of MY GOODNESS, stated that the gelding laid persistently inwards under pressure and he had to change his riding style in an attempt to keep straight. He added that SAM THE MAN had shifted out towards his mount at about the 100M, causing MY GOODNESS to become slightly unbalanced. He felt that this incident had not affected MY GOODNESS’ placing.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of BAHAR, Trainer SB Tan stated that the gelding had benefitted from a spell.

RACE 4 (R387) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

PARAGON STAR (J De Souza) jumped outwards, and brushed with TOTALITY (Y Aify), became unbalanced, and shifted inwards causing PALTROW (M Ganeesh) which had been bumped outwards by IMMORTALITY (J Mallyon) to be checked.

LIM’S BULLET (C Goon) was slow to begin.

TOTALITY (Y Aify) threw its head up approaching the 1100M, in response to him being briefly crowded on his outside.

At about the 1000M, App S Uzair, the rider of HELLO BOSS, which was over-racing , attempted to shift outwards to avoid the heels of DAHEES (O Chavez) but was unable to do so as HAPPY START (App N Varmah) rolled inwards approaching the bend. At this point, App S Uzair was forced to check HELLO BOSS causing PARAGON STAR, which was following, to take evasive action and shift outwards into the path of TOTALITY, which was checked.

App S Uzair, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was shown the vision of this incident. The Stewards informed Trainer L Moy that they considered that it was questionable whether HELLO BOSS was an appropriate ride for a relatively inexperienced Apprentice. Trainer L Moy was advised to provide more suitable opportunities for his Apprentice in future.

Approaching the 1000M, TRIGGER MAN (App CK Khaw) was allowed to shift inwards when just barely clear of D’GREAT ERA (J Low), which was eased. App CK Khaw, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of the incident and warned to show greater awareness and to respect the 2-length standard in similar circumstances in future.

Approaching the 900M, D’GREAT ERA was eased to avoid the heels of TOTALITY, which was checked by PARAGON STAR in the earlier incident at about the 1000M.

Trainer C Leck was called before the Stewards and was shown the vision of App N Varmah’s ride on HAPPY START in this race. He was formally notified by the Stewards that they considered App N Varmah must demonstrate improvement in all aspects of his riding, particularly his ability to save ground and to ride a vigourous finish, failing which they would not recommend that an extension of his licence be granted at the expiry of his current licence on 30 June 2019

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

MAREA NEGRO (S Anandan) threw her head up on jumping.

Approaching the 800M, DYNAMIC EAGLE (M Ganeesh) laid inwards causing MR MOSA (App L De Souza) to be checked to avoid his heels.

At the 400M, MR MOSA was disappointed for a run on the heels of FUNKADELIC (S Salee) and was shifted inwards for clear running.

THANK YOU BOSS (App S Uzair) dropped his reins approaching the 400M. The Stewards observed that the gelding did not lose any momentum as a consequence.

Between the 400M and the 300M, MAREA NEGRO was disappointed for a clear run on the heels of MOON BABY (J Low) and EL TORDILLO (HS Gill) before being shifted inwards to obtain a clear passage.

At about 200M, PANCA DELIMA (App CK Khaw) commenced to shift outwards under pressure.

At about the 100M, ELITE SILENCER (C Goon) was disappointed for a run on the heels of FUNKADELIC, and was shifted abruptly outwards.

At the 50M, SATELLITE BOY (S Ruzaini) laid outwards under pressure.

The Stewards enquired into an incident at about the 900M in which MR MOSA (App L de Souza) was eased to avoid the heels of DYNAMIC EAGLE (M Ganeesh). After hearing evidence from both riders in the presence of App L de Souza’s Master Trainer, R Lines, and viewing the video evidence which was inconclusive, the Stewards warned Jockey M Ganeesh that he must take greater care to allow space to runners on his inside in similar circumstances in future.

Jockey R Woodworth reported after the race that FIRST DANCE anticipated the start and lunged at the gate while it was still closed, causing him to shift backwards and to be slowly away.

BLACK THORN (J Mallyon) jumped awkwardly outwards and despite the rider’s efforts to correct, carried RAJA MAHKOTA (App CK Khaw) outwards. RAJA MAHKOTA then bumped with WE’RE THE WORLD (M Ganeesh) which was placed in restricted room as WOW (S Muniandy) shifted inwards. At this point, RAJA MAHKOTA and WE’RE THE WORLD both became unbalanced, and RAJA MAHKOTA bumped BLACK THORN back inwards. Jockey S Muniandy, the rider of WOW, was shown the vision of this incident and was warned to take greater care when shifting across from a wide draw under similar circumstances in future.

METALLOCENE (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

At about the 300M, WE’RE THE WORLD laid inwards under pressure and had to be corrected to avoid contact with INNIMINYMINEMOW (HS Gill).

Approaching the 200M, BLACK THORN was disappointed for a run on the heels of FIRST DANCE and RAJA MAHKOTA, and shifted abruptly outwards around RAJA MAHKOTA and AWATERE (S Salee) to obtain a clear passage.

At the 100M, CONDADO (KC Wong) was disappointed for a run on the heels of FIRST DANCE and was thereafter trapped behind rivals with no opportunity to improve his position leaving the rider unable to use his full vigour.

RACE 7 (R390) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

HARBOUR APPROACH (Y Aify) reared as the gates opened and was slow to begin.

SUPERSTARDOM (J Low) jumped awkwardly inwards, over-raced in the early stages and raced greenly when in cover. 

ELITE GOLD (HS Gill) which was slow to begin, was urged to recover his position at about the 1000M, whereupon Jockey HS Gill was forced to check to avoid the heels of THE LAWMAN (App S Uzair).

At about the 900M, FLYING SHADOW (S Anandan) was eased to avoid the heels of DRAGON KINGDOM (KC Wong), which shifted inwards, and in doing so, FLYING SHADOW rolled slightly inwards and placed HARBOUR APPROACH in restricted room. Jockey KC Wong was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he should take greater care to leave room for runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 300M, FLYING SHADOW laid slightly inwards and brushed with HARBOUR APPROACH.

Trainer BT Lim was questioned about the disappointing performance of ELITE GOLD. He stated that the horse would be better suited by a longer distance than the 1200M of today’s race, and consequently the interference in the early stages which placed ELITE GOLD well-back in the field was significant. He added that the Barrier Practice on 19^th March which he had intended to be part of ELITE GOLD’s preparation for this race was unfortunately cancelled.

RACE 8 (R391) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Trainer M Sukri was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on LONELY BOY (J De Souza). 

SOON SEEKER (App S Uzair) was slow to begin.

BRILLIANT STAR (App CK Khaw) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1100M, as the pace slowed, CHAR KWAY TEOW (M Ganeesh) was shifted outwards to avoid the heels of OPTIMUS (App L De Souza) and MR WOLFF (S Muniandy) was eased to avoid the heels of OPTIMUS. At this point, ARC CARA (J Mallyon) was crowded between CHAR KWAY TEOW, which shifted outwards, and VOYAGER. After viewing the video of the incident, the Stewards were unable to attribute blame to any one rider and deemed it a racing incident.

Approaching the 1000M, SOON SEEKER (App S Uzair) was eased to avoid the heels of BRILLIANT STAR (App CK Khaw) and threw its head up in response.

At about the 200M, SOON SEEKER was shifted outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of ARC CARA, but then had to check and shift inwards to avoid the heels of VOYAGER, which laid inwards under pressure.

When questioned, Jockey C Goon stated that ELITE GENERAL hesitated as the gate opened and was then timid when crowded by VOYAGER (KC Wong) to his outside. He explained that the bad jump had made more it more difficult for him to carry out his riding instructions, which were to lead. ELITE GENERAL eventually reached the lead at about the 1000M.

RACE 9 (R392) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

EASTERN TOWKAY (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

FRANCES (App L De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

D’GREAT MAGIC (J Low) showed no pace in the early stages despite being urged. D’GREAT MAGIC which was beaten 17 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At about the 300M, ELEGENT (KC Wong) laid inwards and crowded ELITE ROCKET (C Goon) which became awkwardly placed on the heels of ZHAN SHEN (R Woodworth).

At about the 200M, ELITE ROCKET was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at which point, ELEGENT shied outwards away from ELITE ROCKET.

NATION THEATRE (S Ruzaini) and AMERICA TYCOON (HS Gill) which were beaten 18 1/4 and 28 1/2 lengths respectively, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

RACE 10 (R393) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Trainer S Dunderdale was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on MAXIM DRAGON (App CK Khaw). 

MAXIM DRAGON was slow to begin.

BALKAN CHALLENGER (HK Cheng) which drew a wide barrier, was forced wide in the early and middle stages to maintain a forward position.

VELLENEX GENERAL (S Ruzaini) shifted outwards under pressure from the 200M.

App L De Souza, the rider of MEGUSTO, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, reported that the pin came off his stirrup leather before the 1000M and for the remainder of the race he had only one iron. The Stewards inspected the equipment which was found to be in serviceable condition. The explanations were noted. The Stewards will commence an investigation and an inquiry will be opened should further information come to light.

Jockey C Goon, the rider of LIM’S GREETING, reported that the bit ring broke, which hampered his ability to steer the gelding. He therefore felt it prudent to ease LIM’S GREETING to the outside on safety grounds. The Stewards examined the broken equipment and were satisfied with his explanation.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 11 (R318) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 10 MARCH 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2019

The Stewards, on 30 March 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the circumstances of Jockey SU Lim being dislodged from MUSANG KING on the way to the starting position.

Jockey SU Lim reported that he was waiting for the Club pony to accompany MUSANG KING to the start but when it failed to arrive, he attempted to proceed to the start unaccompanied. At this point, MUSANG KING bucked and unseated him.

Trainer SY Lim reported that MUSANG KING is quirky but behaves better when alongside other horses. He will ensure that the gelding is mounted in the saddling yard in future and sets off for the start early in order to avoid him becoming stranded with no company.

The Stewards informed Trainer SY Lim that a warning was placed on MUSANG KING for his poor behaviour and if he does not become more tractable, further action may be taken.
