STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Races 1 to 2), upgraded to Good before Race 3.

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R1126) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of WILL BE BETTER, was fined RM1000/- under MRA Rule 121(7) in that he weighed in 1.2kgs over his declared weight. He admitted that he had consumed fluids after weighing out.

WILL BE BETTER (O Chavez) was slow to begin, raced ungenerously and was soon distanced from the field. Jockey O Chavez reported that WILL BE BETTER showed no response to pressure other than to lay inwards, and thus he feared for the gelding’s well-being. He added that he allowed WILL BE BETTER to come home in his own time.  A post-race veterinary examination of WILL BE BETTER revealed that it was lame on both fore legs and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

Approaching the 1000M, SEE FOR YOURSELF (S Sandana) laid in and briefly crowded MEGUSTO (J De Souza) which was over-racing, causing the rider of MEGUSTO to ease in response. MEGUSTO continued to race keenly in the middle stages and laid outwards approaching the 400M.

Approaching the 200M, MACHUNG STAR (SU Lim) shifted inwards under pressure when not fully clear of SATURDAY’S DELIGHT (J Mallyon) which was briefly eased as a consequence. The Stewards showed the vision of the incident to Jockey SU Lim and warned him that he must take all measures to control his mounts under similar circumstances in future, and not rely on the whip to steer.

STREET CHAMP (S Ruzaini) raced ungenerously in the middle stages and showed no response to pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of STREET CHAMP revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 2 (R1127) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)

RED EASTERN (Y Aify) showed reluctance to proceed to the start position before the race, and was then slow to begin and forfeited several lengths. RED EASTERN will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall, to be ridden unaided to the start) test before being declared to race again.

LIM’S CHARGE (HS Gill) jumped outwards and bumped TILSWORTH MALI (L Sofhan) outwards onto ELEGENT (App WK Lee) and as a result, TILSWORTH MALI was unable to obtain a forward position in the early stages. When questioned, Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of TILSWORTH MALI, stated that his instructions were in fact to settle the mare in a mid-to-back position.

Trainer SY Lim was questioned by the Stewards about the apparent change of tactics. He stated that TILSWORTH MALI had jumped well on her previous start and obtained a forward position without being urged, although it was his intention for her to race mid-to-back on that occasion.

The Stewards warned Trainer SY Lim that he must take greater care to attend his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) regarding notification of tactical changes prior to the race. They informed him that if he wishes TILSWORTH MALI to be ridden prominently next time, he must notify the Stewards accordingly. A post-race veterinary examination of TILSWORTH MALI revealed no significant finding.

AMAZING (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

ZENZERO (App N Varmah) jumped awkwardly outwards, causing POWERFUL FIGHTER (J De Souza) to be taken wider after the jump.

Approaching the 1000M, TILSWORTH MALI was crowded between ARCHER COMPANY (R Rueven) which laid inwards and LIM’S CHARGE (HS Gill).

At about the 350M, AMAZING was shifted inwards to avoid the heels of ARCHER COMPANY.

RACE 3 (R1128) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)

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

HERO CHAMPION (HS Gill) jumped awkwardly inwards causing SCRAT (C Goon) to be shifted inwards in response.

STREET OF LONDON (App W Faizal) was slow to begin.

D’GREAT SPIRIT (HK Cheng) raced wide in the early and middle stages in an attempt to maintain a forward position.

At about the 350M, BLOOD ROYAL (App CK Khaw) laid inwards causing PREMIUM STARS to be taken inwards and to be awkwardly placed on the heels of GORDON G.

Approaching the 200M, PREMIUM STARS shifted outwards causing SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (Y Aify) and D’GREAT SPIRIT to be shifted slightly outwards and CHAR KWAY TEOW (L Sofhan) to be briefly eased and shifted outwards to avoid the heels of D’GREAT SPIRIT.

SYMPHONY ECLIPSE persistently laid inwards from the 200M and Jockey Y Aify was unable to use his full vigour.

When questioned, Jockey C Goon, the rider of SCRAT, stated that the Trainer had instructed him to sit in a forward position behind the leaders. However, due to having been installed for a long time before the start, the mare jumped slowly and was thereafter crowded by HERO CHAMPION on her outside and unable to obtain a forward early position. Jockey C Goon added he was able to make some progress between the 600M and the 400M but approaching the 300M, the gap narrowed behind SYMPHONY ECLIPSE on his inside and D’GREAT SPIRIT on his outside and he was obliged to switch inside to obtain clear running. Jockey C Goon also informed the Stewards that SCRAT responded just fairly to pressure in the last 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of SCRAT revealed no significant finding.

REAL MEAN (J De Souza) was slow to begin.

NANA (Z Khairil) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 200M, TARZAN (A Aucharuz) commenced to shift abruptly inwards causing REAL MEAN (J De Souza) to be eased at about the 200M to avoid the heels of TARZAN. Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of TARZAN, was shown the vision of the incident and was warned that he must take all measures to control his mounts under similar circumstances in future, and not rely on the whip to steer.

An objection was lodged by Jockey J De Souza, the rider of REAL MEAN, placed fourth against TARZAN (A Aucharuz) placed third, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 200M. 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.

FOURVIERE (App W Faizal) 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.

App P Mogun, the rider SECOND CHANCE, reported that the 1800M distance of today’s race was too far. Trainer S Cook confirmed App P Mogun’s explanation. A post-race veterinary examination of SECOND CHANCE revealed no significant finding.

RACE 2 (R1098)       CLASS 5 (A)– 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer S Cook was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he failed to correctly notify the Stewards of the  removal of Winkers from HAPPY VALLEY (App CK Khaw) prior to the declaration stage. HAPPY VALLEY raced without Winkers in today’s race.

ARLO (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly outwards, was slow to find its stride and was outpaced in the early stages.

SUPER EIGHT (O Chavez) was slow to begin.

HAPPY VALLEY jumped inwards causing ARLO, which was slow to begin, to ease in order to avoid his heels. App CK Khaw, the rider of HAPPY VALLEY, was warned by the Stewards to show greater awareness of runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 1150M, LIM’S GREETING (HS Gill) laid outwards and had to be corrected to avoid contact with HAPPY VALLEY which was shifting inwards.

Between the 600M and the 400M, LIM’S GREETING was held up for clear running on the heels of PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) and SUPER EIGHT. Approaching the 400M, JUST DUIT (S Sandana) had to be eased to avoid the heels of LIM’S GREETING, and at this point, TAUROS (App A Zaimuddin) had to be shifted inside to avoid the heels of JUST DUIT.

Between the 400M and the 300M, CHAR SIEW (L Sofhan) shifted inwards under pressure. Jockey L Sofhan, the rider of CHAR SIEW, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip approaching the 200M.

JUST DUIT laid inwards approaching the 300M. 

TAUROS was shifted outwards to obtain clear running at about the 200M and finished wide out.

ARLO which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 3 (R1099)       CLASS 5 (A)– 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer S Siva was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he failed to correctly notify the Stewards of the removal of Tongue-tie from LINING TOGETHER (S Sandana) prior to the declaration stage. LINING TOGETHER raced without Tongue-tie in today’s race.

DRAGON WALK (App CK Khaw) jumped awkwardly outwards, and bumped CATCH ME GREAT (App WK Lee) which was then crowded to the inside by RA FORCE (Z Khairil).

SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY (HS Gill) was slow to find its stride.

CATCH ME GREAT was slow to begin.

DRAGON WALK showed a tendency to lay outwards in the early stages and was also bumped slightly outwards by LINING TOGETHER approaching the 1000M. When questioned, App CK Khaw, the rider of DRAGON WALK, stated that he had difficulty in shifting across from a wide draw in the early stages and this contributed to the gelding’s disappointing performance.

Jockey J Mallyon, the rider of SATURDAY’S DELIGHT, reported that the gelding raced ungenerously throughout.

When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of RA FORCE, stated that his mount had been bumped outwards by CATCH ME GREAT at the jump and thereafter had no opportunity to obtain a good early position without racing unacceptably wide. He added that RA FORCE was unresponsive in the early stages and felt that the change of gear today may not have suited the gelding. He also stated that RA FORCE responded fairly to pressure in the straight and that in his opinion, the wide barrier had reduced his chances today.

This race was run in heavy rain.

HAPPY EDDINGTON (S Salee) was slow to begin.

PUTMONEY TAKEMONEY (SU Lim) over-raced in the early stages.

At about the 500M, BIG BANK (App AM Aizat) was disappointed for a run on the heels of STAR STRIKE (S Ruzaini).

All riders returned to scale an average of 0.5kg overweight due to the adverse weather conditions.

When questioned about the improved performance of HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya), Trainer C Leck stated that after the gelding’s last start, the rider had reported to him that HIGH COUNCIL would benefit from being freshened up. He therefore amended the gelding’s training regime and changed the head gear today from Pacifiers to Blinkers. Trainer C Leck further stated that although HIGH COUNCIL had been ridden from a mid-to-back position on its last start, this was not the intention and that the gelding had shown more natural speed today enabling him to track the leader and race from a forward position.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 26 AUGUST 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good

(Running rail out 4M on short course bend, 2M on long course bend)

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 (R1067) CLASS 5(B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

MUSANG KING (App WK Lee) was slow to begin.

POLO MASTER (App CK Khaw) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 1000M, ARCHER COMPANY (R Rueven) laid inwards and brushed the rail.

Approaching the 500M, NOVA ACE (SU Lim) was disappointed for a run on the heels of ARCHER COMPANY.

In the last 100M, NOVA ACE laid outwards under pressure causing COMMODORE LINCOLN (L Sofhan) to be taken slightly outwards in response.

RACE 2 (R1068) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

GOLDHILL PRINCESS (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

IMMORTALITY (C Goon) was slow to find its stride.

ROGER (Z Khairil) was observed to be racing keenly in the early stages. ROGER subsequently laid inwards approaching the 100M, forcing the rider to ease and correct.

When questioned regarding the performance of IMMORTALITY, Jockey C Goon stated that the mare was slow to find her stride, and struggled to go with the early pace but then improved approaching the 500M, at which point he felt confident that she would finish the race strongly. However her response to pressure in the straight was just fair.

Trainer SY Lim, the Trainer of IMMORTALITY, was unable to offer any further explanation for her performance which he considered to be disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination of IMMORTALITY revealed no significant finding.

A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S REUNION (App A Zaimuddin) revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 3 (R1069) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of SMART MASTER, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he was late to arrive at the appointed place for mounting prior to the race.

AMAZING (HK Cheng) reared leaving the barrier and was slow to begin.

SMART MASTER (HS Gill) jumped awkwardly outwards.

MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw) jumped awkwardly outwards and was slow to find its stride.

GOLD KIDS (App AM Aizat) was slow to find its stride, and showed no pace in the early and middle stages despite being urged.

RISING STAR (SU Lim) which was beaten 25 ¼  lengths and SMART MASTER which was distanced, will each be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

RACE 4 (R1070) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

PRINCE RAVEN (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

SPIN FIRE (L Sofhan) reared leaving the barrier and was slow to begin as a consequence.

At about the 100M, LA FAMILIA (Y Aify) shifted inwards under pressure causing MAZANDARAN (Z Khairil) to be slightly eased.

When questioned regarding the performance of ROC THAT, Jockey C Goon reported that his mount showed insufficient speed from the barrier to obtain a good early position. He therefore allowed the rider of THE LAWMAN (App W Faizal) which was drawn outside him to cross in front, and as he did so, LA FAMILIA (Y Aify) also crossed in front of him. He thus found himself shuffled back to the last place with little opportunity to improve his position before the straight. Jockey C Goon also stated that ROC THAT responded fairly in the straight and would ideally be suited in a longer distance than 1200M.

The Stewards noted his explanation but warned Jockey C Goon that in future he must be seen to ride his mounts in a positive manner in order to give his horses the best chances to be competitive. A post-race veterinary examination of ROC THAT revealed no significant finding.

When questioned regarding the performance of D’GREAT EMINENCE, Jockey HK Cheng stated that he was unfamiliar with the mare as this was a pick-up ride due to Jockey J Low being injured. He explained to the Stewards that the mare showed tremendous early speed and easily pulled many lengths clear of her rivals in the middle stages without any encouragement. At this stage, he was concerned if he tried to restrain D’GREAT EMINENCE, she would fight him and race even more keenly. He therefore allowed the mare to stride and maintain her advantage which she narrowly failed to hold.

RACE 5 (R1071) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

D’GREAT SONG (App KC Wong) had to be resaddled behind the barriers due to a broken stirrup iron.

TAFFETAS (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin  but recovered into a midfield position.

BLACK THORN (C Goon) jumped outwards causing AHMAR (L Sofhan) and MR ARMSTRONG (App WK Lee) to be taken outwards. As a consequence, MR ARMSTRONG was slow to find its stride and AHMAR bumped with LAUS DEO (J Mallyon).

Approaching the 200M, MOZART ECLIPSE (Y Aify) shifted inwards under a right-hand drive causing FIRST PRECINCT (J De Souza) to be taken inwards in response.

Approaching the 200M, BLACK THORN laid inwards under pressure.

At about the 100M, MOZART ECLIPSE continued to shift inwards despite the rider changing his whip to the left hand and attempting to correct, and bumped with RUSSELL THE CROWE (App AM Aizat). After reviewing the vision of the race, the Stewards established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

RACE 6 (R1072) OPEN MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GHOST SPIRIT (App A Suriya) reared and jumped away awkwardly, causing the rider to become unbalanced.

BIG CENTURY (App A Zaimuddin) was slow to begin and raced ungenerously in the early stages.

Approaching the 400M, GHOST SPIRIT was shifted abruptly outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of NADESIKO JAPAN (App N Varmah). Thereafter GHOST SPIRIT continued to shift outwards under pressure and finished wide out.

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of DUNE SAGA, stated that the horse had finished well from the rear of the field in its last start and the Trainer’s instructions were for him to drop the horse in behind. He therefore restrained DUNE SAGA after the jump with the intention to take a position directly behind ROTI CANAI (C Goon). However, GOLDEN CHOICE (S Sandana) which was drawn to his outside, was shifted quickly inside, and took the position that he was aiming for. Thereafter he found himself trapped wide and although he made some progress around the bend and believed himself to be sufficiently close to the leaders at about the 400M, he reported that DUNE SAGA produced only a fair response to pressure and raced greenly. A post-race veterinary examination of DUNE SAGA revealed no significant finding.

BIG CENTURY which was beaten 22 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 (R1073) CLASS 4 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer L Moy was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 109(1) for failing to present OVERSEER (A Aucharuz) at the pre-race holding area within the prescribed time.

ARECIBO (J De Souza) was slow to begin.

ASTRO MAN (SU Lim) was forced to race wide in the early and middle stages in order to obtain a forward position.

SWEET LODGE (App WK Lee) was disappointed for a run on the heels of CHAR SIEW (L Sofhan) at about the 400M, and was shifted abruptly outwards to obtain clear running in the last strides.

When questioned, Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of OVERSEER, notified to the Stewards at 4:12pm that OVERSEER, which had led on its last start, would be ridden well-back in the field today.  The Stewards reminded Trainer L Moy of his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) to notify the Stewards of any change of riding tactics not later than 5 minutes prior to the start of the race.

Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of OVERSEER, reported that it was his intention to take the horse well-back in the early stages but OVERSEER had over-raced, and therefore he had settled the mare in midfield. She then finished the race just fairly and in his opinion, had resented being restrained. A post-race veterinary examination of OVERSEER revealed no significant finding.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of TIGER BAY (R Rueven), Trainer F Maynard explained that in today’s race, TIGER BAY drew a better barrier and was able to easily obtain a forward position. He had reported on 5 August 2018 that TIGER BAY received interference in the early stages and appeared to sulk.

SACRED SURFER (Y Aify) jumped outwards and brushed with PALTROW (C Goon), which in turn brushed with SATELLITE MAN (HK Cheng).

DAHEES (S Ruzaini) threw its head up on jumping.

Approaching the 400M, SATELLITE MAN laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty, and then compounded in the straight. When questioned regarding the performance of SATELLITE MAN, Jockey HK Cheng reported that the gelding got on the wrong lead leg around the bend and thereafter was disappointing.

Approaching the 300M, VOYAGER (SU Lim) commenced to lay inwards under pressure causing D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) to race in restricted room between VOYAGER and DAHEES approaching the 200M. App KC Wong reported that approaching the 200M, he checked his mount in order to avoid bumping with DAHEES on his inside. After reviewing the vision of the race, 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.

Approaching the 300M, TALISMAN (Z Khairil) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of YOU KNOW WHEN, reported that his horse raced greenly.

Trainer WC Lim was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on IMMORTAL LEGACY (SU Lim). 

The Stewards acceded to Trainer F Maynard’s request to allow SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (Y Aify) to race without hind shoes as the mare had cast its near hind plate in the saddling area. As the mare became agitated when the Club Farrier attempted to remove its off hind shoe behind the starting gate, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of SYMPHONY ECLIPSE at 6:01pm.

Trainer PS Kumaran was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 35(8) for failing to notify the Stewards of his intention for LUCKY SIXTYSIX (Z Khairil) to race in a manner different to its most recent starts. LUCKY SIXTYSIX raced well-back in the field in its last 2 (two) starts but shared the lead in today’s race.

GOOD BROTHER (S Sandana) was slow to begin.

AUSSIE EAGLE (App AK Lim) was slow to find it stride.

PREMIUM STARS (S Ruzaini) was observed to be over-racing in the early stages.

SOUTHERN HUSSLER (L Sofhan) jumped outwards and brushed with TOTALITY (App AK Lim).

NOVA SPIRIT (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

NOVA POWER (HK Cheng) commenced to shift inwards under pressure approaching the 200M, and did so persistently causing the rider to ease and correct approaching the 200M and then again approaching the 100M. Jockey HK Cheng also reported that NOVA POWER’s saddle had slipped backwards and he was unable to ride with his full vigour.

RACE 5 (R959) OPEN MAIDEN [W-F-A] – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 4 AUGUST 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 24 August 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of KITA TEAMWORK in the above race. They took evidence from Trainer Siva Kumar s/o Subramaniam (S Siva), who on 4 August 2018 was the B Trainer to Trainer PS Kumaran, then the trainer of KITA TEAMWORK. Jockey F Yap, who had given evidence to the Stewards on 5 August 2018, was also present.

Trainer S Siva explained that his intention was for KITA TEAMWORK to obtain a forward position, preferably second place, in the early stages. He added that he had given Jockey F Yap instructions about the mare’s tendency to jump slowly from the barrier and to throw her head up in response to pressure on the mouth. He also stated that he had requested KITA TEAMWORK to be loaded last as he felt that she was more likely to become agitated if left in the barrier for a significant period of time. Prior to the commencement of today’s enquiry, the Chief Starter had informed the Stewards that he had received such a request, but declined it on the grounds that KITA TEAMWORK had not previously given trouble at the barrier. The mare was therefore loaded first since she was allocated the inside gate.

The Stewards noted the explanation tendered by Jockey F Yap on 5 August 2018 that KITA TEAMWORK reared and was slow to begin, and thereafter raced greenly in the early stages and responded fairly to pressure in the straight. However, they informed Jockey F Yap that one particular aspect of his riding was concerning, in that his response to KITA TEAMWORK rearing out of the gate was to steady the mare under a tight hold, causing her to forfeit further ground. The Stewards noted that they had inquired into Jockey F Yap’s riding of BEIJING STAR on 25^th February 2018 in similar circumstances (R257).

The Stewards warned Jockey F Yap that in future he must take all reasonable measures to obtain a good jump from his mounts and that his performance in this regard would be monitored.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 12 AUGUST 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R1002) CLASS 5-B – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

This race was delayed by 10 minutes due to MUSANG KING (C Goon) dislodging the rider on the way to the start and WILL BE BETTER’s (App CK Khaw) unwillingness to proceed to the start. MUSANG KING was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to race.

MUSANG KING jumped outwards. Subsequently, MUSANG KING was forced to race wide in order to obtain a forward position.

D’GREAT HAWK (App L De Souza) jumped inwards, causing AMONGST THE STARS (A Aucharuz), FLYING NEKO (J Low) and NOVA ACE (SU Lim) to be crowded between them. NOVA ACE lost its position as a consequence.

An inquiry into the running and handling of UNION JAC (App A Zaimuddin) will be held at a date to be fixed.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of GOLDHILL PRINCESS (J De Souza), Trainer R Lines stated that the mare showed signs of stiffness after her last start, and was medicated accordingly. He added that in his opinion, the race today was weak and uncompetitive.

EMERGENCY ACCEPTOR (EA) / SCRATCHING
Race	Horse	Reason	Test		Remark

Note: The above horse(s) will be required to pass the above test(s) before being declared to race again.

RACE 2 (R1003) CLASS 5-A – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 1:10pm.

BEIJING STAR (HK Cheng) was slow to begin.

At about the 900M, BRILLIANT STAR (A Aucharuz) was briefly crowded on the inside of DAWN OF THE WORLD (M Ganeesh).

At about the 400M, GHOST AFFAIR (C Goon) shifted inwards causing BRILLIANT STAR to be switched abruptly outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 300M, D’GREAT WALL (App KC Wong) rolled in abruptly and bumped ZENZERO (S Ruzaini). At about the 200M, D’GREAT WALL again shifted in slightly and bumped ZENZERO.

Approaching the 200M, LIM’S SIGNATURE (App A Zaimuddin) commenced to lay inwards, causing DAWN OF THE WORLD to be taken inwards in response.

At the 100M, LIM’S SIGNATURE laid in and bumped DAWN OF THE WORLD, and subsequently shifted across DAWN OF THE WORLD causing the rider to check. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed. Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of DAWN OF THE WORLD, placed third, lodged an objection against LIM’S SIGNATURE (App A Zaimuddin), being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference in the last 100M. However, during the hearing of the objection by the Racing Stewards, Trainer S Dunderdale indicated that he would like to withdraw the objection.

At the conclusion of a subsequent inquiry, Trainer S Dunderdale was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 122(3) for lodging an objection being deemed by the Stewards to be frivolous in Race 2 (R1003) on 12 August 2018 (Sunday) at the Selangor Turf Club. The particulars of the charge were that he instructed Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of DAWN OF THE WORLD, to lodge an objection directly after the race, however, during the course of the subsequent hearing in response to the objection, he withdrew the said objection.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Trainer S Dunderdale’s mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was fined RM2000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal (5:10pm).

When questioned regarding the performance of ZENZERO, Jockey S Ruzaini reported that the gelding was rather slow to find its stride and received pressure from D’GREAT WALL which was racing upsides, at various points of the race. He added that he received a bump from D’GREAT WALL in the straight and was trapped on the inside, and never had the opportunity to find clear running. He further added that ZENZERO may not be suited by backing up quickly within one (1) week as on this occasion. Trainer C Leck concurred with this observation. A post-race veterinary examination of ZENZERO revealed no significant finding.

Approaching the 1000M, SATELLITE GENIUS (S Ruzaini) was observed to be racing keenly and raced with his head up in response to being restrained off the heels of BEAUTIFUL BABY (J Low). At this point, KENT THE PATCHETT (A Aucharuz) was eased to avoid the heels of BEAUTIFUL BABY.

IMMORTALITY (C Goon) raced wide in the middle stages.

At about the 400M, IMMORTALITY shifted inwards under a right-hand drive causing LIM’S MASTER (App A Zaimuddin) to ease off his heels. Jockey C Goon was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

MAGICAL TALENT (App L De Souza) was slow to begin and had to be urged to obtain a midfield position.

At about the 1200M, STAR INVINCIBLE (S Ruzaini) laid inwards causing MEIZU (HS Gill) to be shifted slightly inwards and BELIEVE IT OR NOT (App KC Wong) to be eased in order to avoid the heels of MEIZU. Jockey S Ruzaini was showed the vision of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when crossing to the inside after the jump.

At about the 500M, MEIZU laid outwards causing MAGICAL TALENT to be crowded between MEIZU and GOOD BROTHER (S Anandan). MEIZU then continued to lay outwards and as a consequence, MAGICAL TALENT was eased to avoid his heels. Jockey HS Gill, the rider of MEIZU, was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must show greater awareness of other riders under similar circumstances in future.

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:10pm.

ELITE CONQUEROR (HS Gill) which stood still as the barrier opened and lost many lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again. Jockey HS Gill reported after the race that the gelding was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of ELITE CONQUEROR revealed that it was lame off fore.

At about the 500M, BAHAR (L Sofhan) was eased to avoid the heels of RAINBOW FISH (App L De Souza).

STAR STRIKE (O Chavez) laid inwards under pressure at about the 400M.

SO ON (A Aucharuz) was slow to begin.

MR CONNERY (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez) raced wide in the early stages.

Approaching the 200M, COMMODORE LINCOLN was racing in close proximity on the outside of TILSWORTH MALI (App WK Lee). App WK Lee reported that he was unable to use his whip at that stage, for fear of making contact with COMMODORE LINCOLN.

When questioned, App W Faizal, the rider of JET COSMO, reported that the gelding was never moving fluently and was not suited by the “good” track today. As such he felt that it was prudent not to put the gelding under pressure until the latter stages. He added that JET COSMO responded fairly to his urgings, and overall, raced with more enthusiasm than its last start.

D’GREAT STRIKE jumped awkwardly outwards and raced greenly in the early stages.

At about the 400M, MR WASHINGTON (Y Aify) shifted left when not clear of DAHEES (S Ruzaini) causing DAHEES to be eased and thereafter to be denied clear running on the heels of MR WASHINGTON. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed.

Between the 400M and the 200M, DUNE SAGA was held up for clear running on the heels of SANGKURIANG.

SUNNY (M Ganeesh) was slow to find its stride.

SHELLOMADA (HS Gill) showed no pace in the early and middle stages. Jockey HS Gill reported after the race that SHELLOMADA was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of SHELLOMADA revealed no significant finding.

At about the 400M, LISTEN (App AM Aizat) was held up for clear running on the heels of D’BUFFALO MAN (App A Zaimuddin) and MR PAULANDRE (J Mallyon). Thereafter LISTEN was switched outwards to obtain clear running but tended to shift inwards under pressure at about the 200M.

Inside the 50M, BRILLIANT DEAL (App W Faizal) shifted outwards under pressure, taking SEA WORLD (App L De Souza) outwards and causing LA FAMILIA (S Ruzaini) to be checked to avoid the heels of SEA WORLD. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed.

CHAR SIEW (C Goon) was slow to begin and was then forced to race wide in the middle stages in order to make progress.

SMOOTHLY (S Ruzaini) jumped outwards and bumped with ELITE ROCKET (Y Aify), and became unbalanced as a consequence.

At about the 1200M, ELITE ROCKET shifted abruptly inwards, causing SMOOTHLY to ease to avoid his heels. Thereafter, SMOOTHLY commenced to over-race in the early and middle stages.

GERMANIC which was beaten 21 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of IDEAL GUIDE (J De Souza), Trainer R Lines stated that the gelding was unable to get competitive from a wide barrier in his last start and subsequently, he had freshened the gelding up with an 8-week break. He added that IDEAL GUIDE had participated in a Barrier Practice during the week of the race, which appeared to benefit him.

RACE 10 (R1011) CLASS 4-B – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:50pm.

SPIN FIRE (C Goon) jumped outwards and bumped ROC THAT (M Ganeesh) onto ELEGENT (App KC Wong). EASTERN TOWKAY (App AM Aizat) was restrained in the early stages and appeared to race ungenerously.

When questioned regarding the performance of EASTERN TOWKAY, App AM Aizat stated that his instructions were to race in a mid-to-back position to overcome the disadvantage of a wide barrier. He explained that he restrained EASTERN TOWKAY in the early stages in order to cross behind PERFECT RUN (App CK Khaw) but at the same point, PERFECT RUN slowed and he had no choice but to remain on his outside. Thereafter, he felt that EASTERN TOWKAY showed little pace despite being urged and was not suited by the “good” track which in his opinion, was significantly firmer than EASTERN TOWKAY prefers. He also informed the Stewards that the gelding responded fairly to pressure in the straight and made up some ground as the horses in front were tiring due to the strong early pace. A post-race veterinary examination of EASTERN TOWKAY revealed no significant finding.

Trainer S Dunderdale was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 109(1) for failing to present NASI LEMAK (M Ganeesh) at the pre-race holding area within the prescribed time.

MEGUSTO (J De Souza) jumped inwards and bumped ROGER (Z Khairil).

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

ROGER was observed to over-race in the early stages.

FRENCH VINTAGE (S Ruzaini) which was drawn in the outside barrier, raced wide throughout.

Approaching the 200M, JUST VITAL (S Sandana) was denied a run on the heels of SONG KID and was subsequently shifted inside to obtain a clear passage but was then further denied a run on the heels of HAPPY FAMILY (A Aucharuz).

Approaching the 200M, SONG KID was disappointed for a run on the heels of NASI LEMAK, and was switched inwards.

Approaching the 200M, FRENCH VINTAGE was briefly crowded to the inside of EMPEROR WARRIOR (HK Cheng).

At about the 100M, ROGER shifted inwards, causing EMPEROR WARRIOR and JUST VITAL to be taken slightly inwards in response. After reviewing the vision of the 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.

Approaching the 50M, COLD WAR (App CK Khaw) brushed against the rail and subsequently laid abruptly outwards, forcing the rider to ease.

RACE 1 (R955) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 4 AUGUST 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 7 August 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of AIR POWER in the above race. Evidence was taken from App L De Souza, the rider of AIR POWER, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines.

App L De Souza was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 5 AUGUST 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R964) CLASS 5 – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

Trainer WC Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to confirm with App AK Lim prior to declaring him on POLO MASTER (App CK Khaw).

SINGSURAT (O Chavez) was restless in the barrier and slow to find its stride.

FLEDGELING (SU Lim) reared leaving the stalls.

Approaching the 1600M, SHAHPUR JAT (A Aucharuz) laid inwards causing OD STAR (App KC Wong), COMMODORE LINCOLN (S Ruzaini) and JET COSMO (App W Faizal) to be crowded on his inside. JET COSMO brushed against the running rail in this incident and lost its early position as a consequence. Jockey A Aucharuz was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must show greater awareness of runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

POLO MASTER (App CK Khaw) showed no pace in the early stages.

At about the 300M, VERGLATICA (App A Suriya) shifted inwards under pressure causing App A Suriya to ease and correct. VERGLATICA subsequently showed a tendency to shift inwards under a right hand drive and the rider experienced difficulty in pulling the whip through to his the left hand at about the 100M.

At about the 100M, NAPOLEAN (R Rueven) shifted slightly outwards causing OD STAR to be crowded between SPEED CRAFT (J De Souza) and VERGLATICA and lose his place.

SPIRIT OF SPEED (App N Varmah) which was beaten 25 1/4 lengths and POLO MASTER which was distanced, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

When questioned regarding the performance of SPEED CRAFT, Trainer C Leck stated that the gelding has a history of intermittent leg problems and therefore his form was inconsistent. He added that SPEED CRAFT had performed well in an Official Barrier Trial earlier in the week. He further stated that he considered today’s race to be relatively weak and uncompetitive.

RACE 2 (R965) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Prior to the race, Trainer SY Lim, the Trainer of SIX EMPIRE, informed the Stewards that the gelding which has often led in his races, would be ridden in a mid-to-back position from a wide barrier today. SIX EMPIRE (C Goon) raced ungenerously in the early stages and was wide in the middle stages.

TAUBOSS (M Ganeesh) was slow to begin and showed no pace in the early stages. A post-race veterinary examination of TAUBOSS revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

At about the 400M, SOON SEEKER (A Aucharuz) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of BATTLE HORSE (R Rueven), and at this point, HAPPY EDDINGTON (J Mallyon) was forced to ease to avoid the heels of SOON SEEKER. HAPPY EDDINGTON was shifted slightly outwards in this incident and brushed with DROUGHT (Z Khairil) which in turn shifted outwards and brushed LIM’S BATTLE (HS Gill). An inquiry into this incident will be held on a date to be fixed.

Approaching the 200M, DROUGHT which had been crowded in the earlier incident, was shifted inwards in order to obtain clear running.

In the last 100M, BATTLE HORSE laid inwards under pressure and brushed with WILLIAM KING (WK Yan). 

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the inconsistent and unreliable running of TAUBOSS. Evidence was taken from Trainer SB Tan and Jockey M Ganeesh, the trainer and rider of TAUBOSS respectively.

Trainer SB Tan pleaded guilty to a charge under the provisions of MRA Rule 117(3) in that:

1. He is the Trainer of TAUBOSS;
2. TAUBOSS was presented to race under his training on 8 July 2018 (R850), 21 July 2018 (R900) and 5 August 2018 (R965);
3. The performances of TAUBOSS were extremely inconsistent in the three (3) aforementioned races;
4. As the Trainer, he must attempt to ensure that all horses under his training perform in as consistent a manner as possible;
5. He was unable to offer any satisfactory explanation into the inconsistent racing pattern and performances of TAUBOSS in these races.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Trainer SB Tan’s guilty plea, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. TAUBOSS was suspended from racing for a period of one (1) month under the provisions of MRA Rule 117(3), and will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (7:15pm).

RACE 3 (R966) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

FLYING WINNER was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers at the request of Jockey Z Khairil and was passed fit to race.

REBEL FURY (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1350M, BIG BOSS (App WK Lee) shied away from FLYING WINNER (Z Khairil) on his outside and in doing so, shifted inwards causing RAINBOW FISH (App L De Souza) to be crowded against the inside rail and to lose his position.

ARC CARA (C Goon) over-raced in the early stages and had to be eased to avoid the heels of D’GREAT BLESS (HS Gill) at about the 1000M.

At about the 400M, BIG BOSS displayed a tendency to lay outwards under pressure.

At about the 200M, BIG BOSS again laid outwards under pressure and at the same time, HIGH COUNCIL (S Ruzaini) commenced to lay inwards, causing MAZANDARAN (HK Cheng) to be squeezed between them. Thereafter, HIGH COUNCIL continued to lay inwards under pressure and had to be checked and corrected to avoid the heels of ROYAL GREEN (S Anandan) at about the 100M.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of VOGAGER, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip in the last strides. The Stewards noted that VOGAGER had lost no momentum as a result and had therefore achieved the best possible placing.

RACE 4 (R967) METRO A – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

At about the 1300M, MOZART ECLIPSE (Y Aify) laid inwards despite the rider’s best efforts and brushed with ROYAL EXPLORER (O Chavez). Jockey O Chavez reported to the Stewards that ROYAL EXPLORER had received pressure from the outside and had tended to over-race in the early stages as a consequence.

Approaching the 500M, MR ARMSTRONG (App WK Lee) was disappointed for a run on the heels of ROYAL EXPLORER.

Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of LISTEN, reported that at about the 300M, his whip was knocked out of his hand by accidental contact with the whip of Jockey J Mallyon, the rider of TRUSON. After reviewing the vision of the 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.

Inside the 100M, App WK Lee, the rider of MR ARMSTRONG, attempted to shift outwards to obtain clear running but was unable to do so.

RACE 5 (R968) OPEN MAIDEN [W-F-A] – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer L Moy was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on OVERSEER (A Aucharuz). 

GOOD PEOPLE (SU Lim) fly-jumped leaving the barriers.

LION CITY GOLD (App L De Souza) jumped outwards causing GHOST SPIRIT (App A Zaimuddin) to be crowded onto GOOD PEOPLE on the inside of MACHUNG STAR (S Ruzaini).

DING LIK (App WK Lee) jumped inwards and continued to lay inwards in the early stages causing MACHUNG STAR to be crowded on the inside of DING LIK.

At about the 400M, JABBAR (O Chavez) rolled in briefly and brushed with OVERSEER  which laid inwards in response, causing MACHUNG STAR to be disappointed for a run on the inside of OVERSEER. Thereafter JABBAR continued to roll inwards.

SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (Y Aify) laid inwards under pressure in the closing stages.

When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that his instruction was to ride MACHUNG STAR in a handy position today. However, after receiving pressure from DING LIK on his outside after the jump, and perceiving that more riders were intending to shift inwards from the outside, he elected to restrain MACHUNG STAR into a midfield position. Jockey S Ruzaini added that he had been disappointed for a run on the inside of JABBAR at about the 400M but his mount responded disappointingly to pressure and as such he felt that the incident at about the 400M made no difference. A post-race veterinary examination of MACHUNG STAR revealed no significant finding.

RACE 6 (R969) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GRANDE AFFARE (L Sofhan) which dislodged its rider behind the barriers and ran loose, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 3:50pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

FULL BET (S Ruzaini) reared as the gates opened.

From approaching the 200M, SO ON (App W Faizal) demonstrated a tendency to lay outwards under pressure and the rider was unable to use his full vigour in the finish.

GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) showed no pace in the early stages.

Approaching the 800M, BIG BANK (A Aucharuz) shied away from NOVA FALCON (O Chavez) on his outside and made brief contact with NEVERSAYNEVER (App J Daniel) to his inside.

RACE 8 (R971) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SEGAR THE BEST (C Goon) over-raced in the early stages and got its head up approaching the 800M.

Approaching the 800M, HAPPY BUFFALO (HS Gill) started to hang aggressively outwards and in doing so, caused ELITE ROCKET (App A Zaimuddin) to be taken outwards when not clear of AUSSIE EAGLE (HK Cheng), which was sharply checked and lost its position. After reviewing the vision of the 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. After this incident, HAPPY BUFFALO continued to hang and was effectively uncontrollable. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for his poor racing manners.

A post-race veterinary examination of ATEEJ (O Chavez) revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3), and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

D’BUFFALO MAN (C Goon) was slow to begin.

PANDA BOMB (SU Lim) was forced to race wide in the middle stages in order to make progress.

Approaching the 300M, RISING GLORY (HK Cheng) shifted abruptly inwards under pressure causing the rider to ease and correct to avoid the heels of RUSSELL THE CROWE (L Sofhan).

At about the 100M, RUSSELL THE CROWE was disappointed for a run on the heels of D’GREAT RICH (App KC Wong) and was shifted inwards.

RACE 10 (R973) OPEN MAIDEN [W-F-A] – 1600M (SHORT COURSE A)

KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) jumped inwards and as a consequence, SECOND CHANCE (App P Mogun), JJ STAR (App KC Wong) and GLORY KID (WK Yan) were all crowded between KING OPERA and ELITE GUSTAVO (C Goon). GLORY KID became unbalanced and lost its early position as a result.

PENDRAGON PRINCESS (J Mallyon) raced keenly in the early stages.

Approaching the 1000M, KENT THE PATCHETT (A Aucharuz) raced greenly and laid inwards, causing SECOND CHANCE to be tightened for room on the inside and to lose ground.

Approaching the 900M, GLORY KID shifted inwards abruptly causing BEIJING STAR to be bumped against the rail. The Stewards attributed this incident to greenness on the part of GLORY KID. After reviewing the vision of the 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.

KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) raced wide in the middle stages.

GLORY KID laid inwards under pressure from the 400M. A post-race veterinary examination of GLORY KID revealed no significant finding. The gelding which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At about the 1000M, BIRRALEE ROAD (A Aucharuz) shifted slightly inwards causing GHOST AFFAIR (App A Zaimuddin) to be crowded between BIRRALEE ROAD and HAPPY DAYZ (App CK Khaw).

At about the 1000M, SPARKLER (App KC Wong) shifted slightly inwards on the approach to the bend causing JELUTONG and IMMORTALITY (C Goon) to be crowded on his inside. As a result of this, JELUTONG lost its position and became outpaced.

Approaching the 100M, SPARKLER shifted slightly outwards, and despite being quickly corrected, caused BIRRALEE ROAD to be crowded on his outside.

RACE 5 (R959) OPEN MAIDEN [W-F-A] – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 4 AUGUST 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 5 August 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, opened an inquiry into the running and handling of KITA TEAMWORK. The Stewards took evidence from Jockey F Yap, the rider of KITA TEAMWORK, Dr Silamban Subbarao, the Chief Starter, and Mr Tasharizal Mohd Tahir, the Assistant Starter.

The Stewards adjourned the inquiry in order to hear evidence from the Trainer of KITA TEAMWORK, Trainer PS Kumaran, and also to view footage from the barrier camera.

RACE 6 (R960) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 4 AUGUST 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 5 August 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of ALASAMO. The Stewards took evidence from Jockey S Sandana, the rider of ALASAMO, and Trainer BT Lim, the representative of Trainer KF Wong, the Trainer of ALASAMO.

Trainer BT Lim reported that Trainer KF Wong had informed him of the riding instructions, which were to race in midfield and finish the race off as well as possible. Jockey S Sandana confirmed these instructions. He added that ALASAMO was not striding out to his satisfaction in the early and middle stages and for this reason, he had focused on keeping his mount balanced. He added that ALASAMO had responded fairly to pressure in the straight and would be better suited by a longer distance.

The Stewards warned Jockey S Sandana that he must ride all his mounts in such a manner as to leave no room for query, and that in particular he must be seen to take opportunities to make progress whenever they present themselves.
