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.

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.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of HK DOLLAR, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 100M, he allowed his mount to lay outwards when not quite clear of LIM’S ACTION (HS Gill).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey L Sofhan’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 12 November 2018 and to expire on 18 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

RACE 2 (R1309) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

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.

RACE 4 (R1311) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

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.

RACE 5 (R1312) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2018

SATURDAY, 6 OCTOBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good            

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Lee Seng He (Senior Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R1226)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

SHUYING XIAO XIAO (App P Mogun) was slowly away, and thereafter raced wide in an attempt to recover the ground forfeited. App P Mogun, the rider of SHUYING XIAO XIAO, reported to the Stewards that his horse reared leaving the stalls, causing him to become unbalanced and his saddle to slip back.

COLONEL LINCOLN (J Low) raced keenly in the early stages.

FLYING NEKO (J De Souza) which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

From approaching the 100M, COLONEL LINCOLN laid inwards causing the rider to ease and correct to avoid contact with NOVA ACE (HK Cheng). In the last strides, NOVA ACE was eased to avoid the heels of COLONEL LINCOLN, which was taken inwards by MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw), which in turn received pressure from ANAK WARRIOR (S Salee) on his outside.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Salee, the rider of ANAK WARRIOR, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to shift inwards leaving insufficient racing room for the horses on his inside.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Salee’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 October 2018 and to expire on 14 October 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2pm).

At about the 1100M, RANT AND RAVE (J Low) was briefly inconvenienced by GERMAN SPEED which laid outwards.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of ARECIBO (J De Souza), Trainer R Lines stated that the longer distance of today’s race had benefited the gelding, noting that all ARECIBO’s winning and placed form is over today’s distance of 1400M or further.

ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin) shifted outwards approaching the 400M and finished wide.

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck and App A Suriya, the trainer and rider of GUILTLESS respectively, regarding the performance of the gelding. Trainer C Leck reported that GUILTLESS got a poor jump and thereafter App A Suriya had been unable to carry out his riding instructions which were to ride a forward race.  A post-race veterinary examination of GUILTLESS revealed no significant finding.

 SCRAT (C Goon) was slow to begin.

SWEET LODGE (App WK Lee) laid inwards from about the 1200M. A post-race veterinary examination of SWEET LODGE revealed that the mare bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 1000M, ONCE A THIEF (A Aucharuz) was eased for one stride to avoid the heels of D’GREAT SPIRIT (HK Cheng), which crossed in front. Jockey HK Cheng was shown the vision of the incident and was warned to respect the 2 lengths standard when crossing to the inside under similar circumstances in future.

App WW Cheah, the rider of MAGICAL TALENT, reported that at about the 600M, he had to steady to avoid the heels of WINGED FOOT (J Low). 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.

Jockey HK Cheng, the rider of D”GREAT SPIRIT, was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 121(1) for failing to obey the provisions of this rule in that he did not immediately dismount and weigh in after pulling up and returning his horse to the winning enclosure, but instead posed for photographs.

GOLDEN CHOICE (L Sofhan) was slow to begin but recovered when shifted and obtained a forward position.

Approaching the 400M, MARIO ATTILA (App W Faizal) was denied a clear run and subsequently switched outwards at about the 350M.

At about the 400M, GOLD MOSA (App L De Souza) brushed with ARCHER COMPANY (J Mallyon) causing ARCHER COMPANY to shy away and lose momentum. Jockey J Mallyon reported, when questioned, that his horse had shown a timid attitude. AMONGST THE STARS (A Aucharuz) was also taken slightly outwards in this incident.

App WK Lee, the rider of OD STAR, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of OD 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.

GOLDEN CHOICE which was beaten 20 1/2 lengths and SILENT DREAMS (App CK Khaw) which was beaten 26 1/4 lengths, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

LEON (S Sandana) was slow to begin.

At about the 1200M, HIGH COUNCIL (S Ruzaini) ducked abruptly inwards, causing TRUDEAU (App CK Khaw) and BRILLIANT DEAL (App W Faizal) to be crowded momentarily. BRILLIANT DEAL lost ground as a result of this incident causing METIER STAR (J De Souza) which was following, to check and shift outwards to avoid his heels. MR WOLFF (A Aucharuz) was taken outwards in turn.

At about the 350M, BRILLIANT DEAL laid outwards causing MR WOLFF to be taken outwards.

When questioned, Trainer S Cook, the trainer of MULTIBLUE SHARK, reported that the gelding was installed for a long time and did not jump alertly as a consequence. He explained that he had specifically instructed App P Mogun not to forfeit ground by racing wide, and therefore, in order to comply with his riding instructions, App P Mogun had no choice but to remain well-back in the field until the straight.

                                    KOREA RACING AUTHORITY TROPHY

LIM’S STARDOM (App A Zaimuddin) cast its near fore shoe behind the barrier. The gelding was reshod, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

GOOD DEAL (L Sofhan) was slow to find its stride.

KEEP THE JUSTICE (S Ruzaini) was observed to be over-racing in the early stages.

Approaching the 600M, SOON SEEKER (A Aucharuz) was briefly carried wide by GOOD DEAL (L Sofhan).

Approaching the 200M, TARZAN (App W Faizal) was shifted inwards to obtain clear running causing KEEP THE JUSTICE to be eased in order to avoid his heels. At the conclusion of an inquiry, App W Faizal, the rider of TARZAN, 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 he allowed his horse to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of KEEP THE JUSTICE.

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 8 October 2018 and to expire on 14 October 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:55pm).

In the closing stages, MOGAN’S PRIDE (App L De Souza) showed a tendency to lay inwards and the jockey was unable to ride with his full vigour.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of MR CONNERY which was drawn outside, reported that the gelding was trapped wide throughout.

LIM’S STARDOM which was beaten 24 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

When questioned, Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of SOON SEEKER, stated that his instructions were to drop the gelding out and to come with a late run. He added that he had the opportunity to improve his position by switching out about the 600M but was concerned that he would be forced to race wide out.

He therefore chose to remain in last place until the straight and that at about the 400M, took the only run available to him between MR CONNERY and LIM’S STARDOM. He explained that he was unable to try a run to the outside at about the 400M due to the presence of MOGAN’S PRIDE as he was unable to switch around that rival without easing back.

Trainer L Moy confirmed these instructions and explained that Jockey A Aucharuz, who is a regular rider for his stable, is well aware that he does not tolerate jockeys racing wide and forfeiting ground. A post-race veterinary examination of SOON SEEKER revealed no significant finding.

RACE 9 (R1234)       CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer F Maynard was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to present TOOBIGTOOFAIL with tongue-tie as declared.

SRIKANDI (Y Aify) was slow to begin and threw its head up on jumping.

Approaching the 1000M, LION CITY GOLD (SU Lim) was crowded by JUST DUIT (HK Cheng) to his outside which was in turn taken inwards by BARKER ROAD KID (L Sofhan). LION CITY GOLD was forced to check and forfeited ground as a result of this incident.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of BARKER ROAD KID, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1000M, he allowed his horse to shift inwards when not clear of JUST DUIT which was carried onto LION CITY GOLD.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey L Sofhan’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 October 2018 and to expire on 14 October 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:15pm).

Approaching the 800M, SRIKANDI (Y Aify) laid inwards briefly causing KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL (App AM Aizat) to be eased in order to avoid his heels.

KEEPITCONFIDENTIAL was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 300M and finished wide out.

Approaching the 100M, ACME (S Ruzaini) was crowded between SIR HENRY (S Sandana) on his outside and SALAHADDIN (App CK Khaw) on his inside.

App CK Khaw, the rider of SALAHADDIN, reported that he was crowded inside the last the 50M by SIR HENRY and lost his position. He added that but for the interference SALAHADDIN would have been placed.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Sandana, the rider of SIR HENRY, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 100M, he allowed his horse to shift inwards away from a right-handed drive causing interference firstly to ACME and then to SALAHADDIN.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Sandana’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 15 October 2018 and to expire on 21 October 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:05pm).

COLD WAR (J Low) which was restless in the barrier, jumped awkwardly inwards and brushed with ALIEN (App L De Souza).

EAGLE SOAR (App WW Cheah) stumbled leaving the barrier and thereafter App WW Cheah lost his balance causing EAGLE SOAR to forfeit ground. EAGLE SOAR was subsequently forced to race wide in order to obtain a forward position and compounded in the latter stages. Trainer R Lines was advised by the Stewards that they did not consider EAGLE SOAR to be suitable for App WW Cheah at his level of experience, and was reminded that as his Master, it is his responsibility to provide appropriate mounts for his apprentice.

BEIJING STAR (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin and showed no pace in the early stages despite being urged. When questioned, Trainer WC Lim, the trainer of BEIJING STAR, stated that the gelding can be inconsistent and tends to perform best when fresh. He further stated that BEIJING STAR may not have been suited by the quick back-up, having raced with 6 days previously. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

FRIDAY, 5 OCTOBER 2018, SLTC

Trainer SB Tan was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as read with MRA Regulation 17 in that as the receiving Trainer, he was the person responsible for the lodgement of the Transfer Form when RAHEEB (E130) arrived into his stable but the said form was never lodged. Trainer SB Tan was also advised that RAHEEB was not in fact eligible to be transferred to his training, as it had been temporarily exported to Malaysia on 23 May 2018 for spelling only.

RACE 8 (R1213) METRO A (SW) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), NEW ZEALAND READY TO RUN TROPHY, SUNDAY, 30 SEPTEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 2 October 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of RISING GLORY. Evidence was taken from Jockey HS Gill and Trainer BT Lim, the rider and trainer of RISING GLORY respectively.

Trainer BT Lim explained that he had instructed Jockey HS Gill that he would prefer the gelding to be ridden with hands and heels as opposed to the whip, citing two examples of races from April 2018 in which RISING GLORY had displayed a green and erratic response to the whip.

The Stewards accepted that the instructions given by Trainer BT Lim were adequate in the circumstances. They informed Trainer BT Lim that if RISING GLORY is partnered by a different rider in the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor on 7^th October 2018, he should give his riding instructions in the presence of the Stewards so that they can ensure that he complies with the provisions of MRA Rule 35(5). The Stewards noted that although Jockey HS Gill had justified his limited use of the whip on RISING GLORY, he could have improved his position approaching the 400M when a gap between AUD DOLLAR and JERAM VILLAGE was already available. He was warned that in future he should ride in such a manner as to leave to room for query.

RACE 6 (R1131) STAYER STAKES B – 1800M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 30^th September 2018, concluded an enquiry which began on 9^th September 2018 into the running and handling of LEON, which raced in a mid-to-back position before coming home well in the above race. Trainer K Coetzee was informed that his presence was not required on 30^th September 2018.

Jockey Z Khairil stated that the manner in which he had ridden LEON was no different to the gelding’s normal racing pattern. He added that LEON laid outwards approaching the 500M and negotiated the bend with difficulty. The Stewards pointed out to Jockey Z Khairil that he had not taken an opportunity to make progress between the 800M and the 600M which had also, in hindsight, contributed to LEON being positioned too far back to reach the leaders.

The Stewards therefore warned Jockey Z Khairil that in similar circumstances in future he must take available opportunities to make progress during the middle section of the race.
