Jockey S Ruzaini was warned as a result of this incident that he must not slow the pace excessively when not clear.

SILVER POWER (App AK Lim) over-raced in the middle stages. Jockey S Ruzaini reported that GUILTLESS over-raced in response to SILVER POWER over-racing on his outside.

At about the 300M, Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of ITS ONLY MONEY, dropped his whip. The Stewards warned him that a repetition in future may lead to a penalty being imposed.

At about the 300M, GUILTLESS was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

PENDRAGON PRINCESS (S Salee) jumped awkwardly outwards and crowded GHOST SPIRIT (HS Gill) on the inside of NOVA FALCON (O Chavez) which jumped inwards.

D’GREAT STRIKE raced keenly and laid inwards in the early stages.

At about the 1000M, PENDRAGON PRINCESS was over-racing and laid outwards, bumping MISE EN GARDE (J Mallyon) outwards.

In the last 200M, FORTYEIGHT QUEEN (SU Lim) showed a tendency to lay inwards under pressure and had to be corrected to avoid the heels of NASI LEMAK approaching the 100M.

Jockeys M Ganeesh and I Saifudin, the rider of NASI LEMAK and D’GREAT STRIKE respectively, reported that their horses raced greenly throughout.

RAINBOW JAZZ which was beaten 25 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 4 (R604) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GERMANIC (HS Gill) jumped outwards and brushed with LOUEY VELOCE (S Ruzaini).

IMMORTAL LEGACY jumped outwards and bumped BAKUTEH (M Ganeesh).

NOVA CANO (I Fadzlei) raced wide in the early and middle stages, and shifted out under pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of NOVA CANO 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.

Approaching the 600M, LOUEY VELOCE (S Ruzaini) was forced to check off the heels of LUCKY SIXTYSIX (Z Khairil) which rolled outwards briefly and then rolled back inwards.

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

When questioned, Jockey F Yap, the rider of AUSSIE EAGLE, reported that he had taken a precautionary check shortly after the start as LUCKY SIXTYSIX drifted inwards from his outside, and that at about the 800M, he had to check again to avoid the heels of RICKIE (J Mallyon).

Trainer WC Lim, the trainer of AUSSIE EAGLE, reported that it had been his intention for Jockey F Yap to ride the race from a handy or midfield position, and he felt that the early interference had left AUSSIE EAGLE too far back and caused the gelding to underperform.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of BAHAR, stated that from his wide draw, he had attempted to drop the horse in and ride for luck, however, he had been forced to switch wide in order to make progress approaching the 900M and had therefore found himself in the rear division. He added that BAHAR produced a disappointing response to pressure in the straight.

RACE 1 (R482) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

MAJOR IMPROVEMENT (S Ipek) shifted inwards on jumping causing CRESCENDO (I Fadzlei) to check and to lose its position in the early stages. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT continued to shift inwards causing ENDURANCE (App KC Wong) to take a check at about the 1350M. Jockey S Ipek was reprimanded as a result of this incident and warned to ensure that he respects the 2-length standard when crossing in front of rivals in the early stages.

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

At about the 500M, MONTE CARLO (App CK Khaw) was denied a clear run on the inside of SKYHAWK which weakened and laid inwards. When App CK Khaw attempted to angle outwards, MONTE CARLO displayed a tendency to lay inwards, had to be corrected and was therefore unable to obtain clear running until the final 200M and never became competitive as a result.

At about the 50M, AMONGST THE STARS (App J Daniel) was switched inwards to obtain clear running.

The Stewards enquired into the improved running of the winner, EASTERN TOWKAY (F Yap). B Trainer Siva Kumar s/o Subramaniam, Trainer PS Kumaran’s representative, explained that EASTERN TOWKAY’s rider had been unhappy with the gelding’s action after its previous run on 7 April 2018. EASTERN TOWKAY demonstrated signs of soreness in his off fore foot shortly afterwards, leading Trainer PS Kumaran to conclude that the gelding may have been feeling the effects of a stone-bruise during the race.

The Stewards noted his explanation and Trainer PS Kumaran, who was absent with permission, will be reminded of his responsibility under MRA Rule 35(7) to report any matter which may have affected the performance of his horse in a race.

RACE 4 (R485) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

As a result, SEGAR THE BEST was turned inwards and shifted left, causing D’GREAT RISE to be crowded on its inside and to bump with TALISMAN.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App S Uzair, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer SB Tan was reprimanded and warned by the Stewards that he must take more care in future when maneuvering through a tight gap.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Y Aify, the rider of LEE BANK, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 200M, LEE BANK (Y Aify) shifted inwards under pressure and moved across SEGAR THE BEST when insufficiently clear causing that horse to be eased to avoid his heels.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 7 (R439) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 7 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 15 April 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of LIM’S SIGNATURE. Evidence was taken from Jockey Y Aify and Trainer BT Lim, the rider and Trainer of LIM’S SIGNATURE respectively.

Trainer BT Lim stated that this was LIM’S SIGNATURE’s first race under his training and that the gelding had not demonstrated much ability in trackwork and trials. He added that in his opinion, the horse would be better suited by a longer distance than the 1200M of this race.

Jockey Y Aify stated that LIM’S SIGNATURE was crowded at the jump and was placed further back in the field than ideal as a consequence. He tried to get closer to the leaders between the 1000M and the 400M, but LIM’S SIGNATURE displayed a limited response until the straight. Thereafter, LIM’S SIGNATURE finished his race well despite being briefly crowded by MARINI WALTZ (O Chavez) which laid outwards at about the 200M. Jockey Y Aify added that LIM’S SIGNATURE, whose most recent starts in Singapore were on Polytrack, showed an awkward running action with a tendency to climb. He therefore felt it best to keep a tight hold of the gelding’s head with his left hand while using his whip with his right.

The Stewards noted their explanations but warned Jockey Y Aify that in future he must ride his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

AMENDMENT

RACE 9 (R452) M’SIA GROUP 1 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), TUNKU GOLD CUP, SUNDAY, 8 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of MR NEVERMIND, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 100M, he crossed VOLCANIC GENERAL when insufficiently clear.

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 two (2) Malaysian race days.

The Stewards acceded to Jockey SU Lim’s subsequent request to commence his suspension with effect from 9 April 2018 and to expire on 15 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:10pm).

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 (R444) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

AMI ELEVEN (App L De Souza) was fractious in the barrier and had to be urged to obtain a forward position.

MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw) was slow to find its stride and as a consequence, had to race wide in order to obtain a midfield position.

From the 400M to the 100M, RED SAPPHIRE (J De Souza) was persistently denied a clear run on the heels of EXCITING PROSPECT (SU Lim) and EASTWOOD (Y Aify), and was only able to obtain clear running when EASTWOOD was shifted outwards until the final 100M. Thereafter RED SAPPHIRE was angled outwards, but was only able to be fully tested in the last 50M.

From the 250M to the 50M, HAPPY EDDINGTON (App WK Lee) was disappointed for a run on the heels of AMI ELEVEN and EXCITING PROSPECT, and only obtained clear running inside the last 50M.

From the 150M, MESSI (Z Khairil) laid inwards under pressure causing EASTWOOD and RED SAPPHIRE to be briefly crowded on his inside at the 150M. Jockey Z Khairil was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must make greater effort to keep his mount straight in future.

RACE 2 (R445) MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

RICH AND SMART (Y Aify) jumped outwards, taking EAGLESHAM (SU Lim) outwards and causing JEFFREY (J Mallyon) to be crowded between EAGLESHAM and BIG MOTOR (HS Gill) which was himself crowded by BRILLIANT STAR in the first few strides.

BRILLIANT STAR (App J Daniel) jumped inwards, causing MAXIM DRAGON (App KC Wong) to be taken inwards shortly after the start. BIG MOTOR was thereafter crowded between MAXIM DRAGON and JEFFREY, and all three (3) horses became unbalanced as a result.

MUSANG KING (S Anandan) was observed to be over-racing in the early stages and was shifted outwards at about the 1400M by CRESCENDO (I Fadzlei) which rolled outwards.

At about the 800M, JEFFREY (J Mallyon) commenced to race greenly, laid inwards and then, in response to his rider’s attempt to correct, shifted abruptly outwards and became awkwardly placed on the heels of MAXIM DRAGON and was forced to check.

Approaching the 400M, MAXIM DRAGON was shifted inwards to obtain clear running but soon found himself crowded by JEFFREY on his inside and awkwardly placed on the heels of BIG MOTOR.

EAGLESHAM laid inwards under pressure in the final 150M.

ENCOSTA ZONE which was unable to be loaded, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:25pm. The mare will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/Vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again.

GASSUR (O Chavez) over-raced and got its head up in the early stages. When questioned, Jockey O Chavez reported that he had been unable to obtain cover and was therefore unable to settle the gelding. He added that he had reported to Trainer F Maynard that GASSUR may be better suited by a shorter distance in future.

READY TO ROCK (J De Souza) raced keenly in the early stages.

GHOST EMPEROR (C Goon) laid outwards at about the 550M and negotiated the bend with difficulty.

Approaching the 400M, MOGAN’S PRIDE (App KC Wong) shifted outwards under pressure despite the rider’s best efforts causing DAWN OF THE WORLD (App AK Lim) to be taken outwards in response and REAL MEAN (App CK Khaw) to shy away from DAWN OF THE WORLD.

RACE 4 (R447) CLASS 4 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Approaching the 700M, GOD HELPS ME (App CK Khaw) was awkwardly placed on the heels of LA FAMILIA (O Chavez).

At about the 500M, GOD HELPS ME was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and to avoid the heels of BLOOD ROYAL (SS Vanan).

From the 200M, LA FAMILIA shifted inwards under pressure.

Approaching the 50M, DAVINCI (F Yap) was angled outwards to obtain clear running.

When questioned, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of LIM’S BATTLE, stated that the gelding was outpaced and produced just a fair response to vigorous riding in the straight. He added that LIM’S BATTLE seemed rather flat. Trainer BT Lim stated that in his opinion, LIM’S BATTLE had struggled to cope with the step up in class. He also felt that the gelding may be feeling the effects of a busy schedule. The Stewards noted their explanations. A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S BATTLE revealed no significant finding.

RACE 5 (R448) CLASS 5 – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

Trainer C Leck was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on SPEED CRAFT.

SPEED CRAFT (M Zairi) stood still as the barrier opened and refused to move despite the rider’s urgings. In response to the rider’s attempts to make him start the race, SPEED CRAFT reared and dislodged Jockey M Zairi. The gelding will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again.

RACE 6 (R449) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

SUNGEI BESI AUTOWORLD CUP

SWEET LODGE (App WK Lee) was slow to begin,

NOBLE LIAISON (HS Gill) was slow to find its stride.

METIER STAR (J De Souza) jumped awkwardly outwards and bumped with RELAU STAR (J Mallyon).

At about the 1000M, NOBLE LIAISON rolled inwards as METIER STAR laid slightly outwards resulting in both horses making contact.

BADCOE (S Ruzaini) raced wide in the early stages.

LUCKY DAPPER (Z Khairil) raced wide in the middle stages in an attempt to make progress.

At about the 300M, METIER STAR was shifted outwards to obtain clear running between LUCKY DAPPER and GABBAR (O Chavez), however came across GABBAR when insufficiently clear causing GABBAR to ease for several strides.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of METIER STAR, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at approximately the 300M mark, he crossed GABBAR (O Chavez) when insufficiently clear of that horse, causing GABBAR to be eased to avoid his heels.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. 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 16 April 2018 and to expire on 22 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:10pm).

At about the 300M, NOBLE LIAISON was shifted outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of BADCOE (S Ruzaini) and finished wide out.

RUSSELL THE CROWE (F Yap) was angled inwards at about the 50M to obtain clear running on the inside of LIM’S CASINO (C Goon).

RACE 7 (R450) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

ROYAL EXPLORER (S Ruzaini) jumped inwards and bumped BROWCOW (HK Cheng).

BROWCOW was observed to be over-racing in the early stages. When questioned, Jockey HK Cheng reported that BROWCOW does have a tendency to race keenly and that the Trainer had instructed him not to push the horse to obtain an early position in case it became intractable. He therefore settled the horse in mid-to-back position but was content to do so as he felt that the early pace was fast. Jockey HK Cheng further stated that after several attempts to obtain clear running in the straight, he found himself disappointed for a run and raced in restricted room at about the 100M, and was therefore unable to fully test BROWCOW in the latter stages.

PALTROW (M Ganeesh) was soon outpaced in rear.

At about the 300M, ROYAL EXPLORER was angled outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of GADAWON (O Chavez) which shifted inwards.

At about the 200M, MR WOLFF (Y Aify) commenced to lay in under pressure causing LIM’S SPRINT (HS Gill) to be taken inwards in response. Jockey Y Aify was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he would be expected to take appropriate measures to keep his horses straight in future.

At about the 150M, TAFFETAS (App L De Souza) laid outwards as THESE STREETS (App KC Wong) rolled inwards causing the tiring LAUS DEO (S Salee) to be briefly crowded between them.

At about the 100M, ROYAL EXPLORER laid outwards under pressure causing BROWCOW to be taken outwards and awkwardly placed on the heels of EN LAUDER (App CK Khaw).

A post-race veterinary examination of LAUS DEO 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.

BAKUTEH (M Ganeesh) reared slightly on jumping and was slow to find its stride as a consequence.

JJ STAR (App KC Wong) jumped awkwardly outwards and lost ground.

D’GREAT STRIKE (SS Vanan) laid inwards and raced greenly in the early stages.

ROYAL ACE (App L De Souza) raced greenly in the early stages causing SAKURA JAPAN (S Ruzaini) to be taken wide and BIG BUS (S Anandan) to shy away from SAKURA JAPAN. ROYAL ACE continued to race greenly with its head up in the middle stages.

BAKUTEH laid outwards on the bend and raced wide between the 500M and the 400M.

At about the 300M, FLAKER (S Ipek) shifted inwards towards the rail causing ELEGANT DANCER (App AM Aizat) to be angled outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 50M, ELEGANT DANCER was disappointed for a run on the heels of ROYAL ACE which laid outwards under pressure.

At about the 1000M, LISTEN (App AM Aizat) rolled inwards approaching the bend and bumped AL VALORE (App J Daniel). At this point, ORDER OF THE SUN was racing in restricted room on the inside of AL VALORE which was bumped inwards, and awkwardly placed on the heels of BLACK THORN (HS Gill).

Approaching the 100M, MR NEVERMIND (SU Lim) shifted in under pressure and crossed VOLCANIC GENERAL (S Ruzaini) when insufficiently clear causing the rider of VOLCANIC GENERAL to ease in order avoid his heels.

An objection was lodged by Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of VOLCANIC GENERAL, placed second, against MR NEVERMIND (SU Lim), the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 100M. After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards determined that the alleged interference had affected the chances of VOLCANIC GENERAL and the objection was upheld. The placings were amended to read:

No. 1 – VOLCANIC GENERAL (S Ruzaini)

No. 2 – MR NEVERMIND (SU Lim)

No. 3 – SHOWBOY (O Chavez)

No. 4 – TIDAL WAVE (J De Souza)

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. 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 16 April 2018 and to expire on 22 April 2018, both dates inclusive.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 1 (R433) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 7 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 8 April 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into an incident approaching the 100M. Evidence was taken from App L De Souza, the rider ELF’S DREAM, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines who is also the Trainer of ELF’S DREAM.

App L De Souza, the rider of ELF’S DREAM, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of MACHUNG STAR (SU Lim) which was eased and lost momentum.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App L De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 9 April 2018 and to expire on 15 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (11:40am).

RACE 11 (R443) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 7 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 8 April 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of SUPER JOY. Evidence was taken from App N Varmah, the rider of SUPER JOY, in the presence of his Master, Trainer C Leck who is also the Trainer of SUPER JOY.

Trainer C Leck stated that before the race, he considered SUPER JOY to have the weakest chance of his three (3) runners. He therefore instructed App N Varmah to move across to take the lead if LONESOME ME (R Woodworth) did not do so, in the hope of stealing the race from the front.

App N Varmah stated that SUPER JOY had demonstrated sufficient pace to easily take the lead but had thereafter over-raced in the middle stages, resulting in a disappointing response in the straight.

The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 11 (R443) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 7 APRIL 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2018

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck about the apparent improved performance of the winner, ARLO (S Ruzaini). Trainer C Leck reported that ARLO had been badly out of form for some time and had become well handicapped as a result. However, the gelding had displayed recent signs of a revival in his trackwork and a Barrier Practice. He added that ARLO may also have been suited by the rain-affected track and therefore the result did not come as a complete surprise to him, although he had preferred the chance of ARLO’s stablemate, HERECOMESMYMONEY (SU Lim). The Stewards noted his explanation.

ADDENDUM

RACE 9 (R412) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 31 MARCH 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2018

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of ARIEL and evidence was taken from Jockey Lou Ho and Trainer F Maynard, the rider and Trainer of ARIEL respectively.

Jockey Lou Ho stated that the horse habitually finds less than expected at the end of his races, and that he had discussed the possibility of changing tactics in this race with Trainer F Maynard. They had agreed that if TILSWORTH MALI (M Ganeesh) did not take the lead, he would allow ARIEL to do so.

Trainer F Maynard confirmed these instructions, adding that ARIEL has been a frustrating type and that he was willing to try new tactics to help the gelding break his maiden. However, on this occasion he felt that ARIEL had over-raced in the early stages and produced a disappointing response in the straight as a result.

The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 4 (R436) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LISBOA STAR (J De Souza) threw its head up on jumping and was slow to begin as a consequence. When questioned, Jockey J De Souza reported that it was his intention to ride the race from a handy position. However, after a slow jump, he was unable to make progress when interference occurred in front of him at about the 1000M. Thereafter he attempted to gradually improve his position from the 600M and stated that LISBOA STAR finished the race well but that the ground forfeited in the early stages had prevented him from obtaining a better finishing position.

Approaching the 1000M, LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (App S Uzair) rolled inwards causing STAR STRIKE (O Chavez) to shy away and bump D’GREAT BULLET (App KC Wong) which bumped THE MILLIONAIRE (S Ipek) on his inside. JUBILATION (M Zairi) was forced to check at this stage to avoid the heels of D’GREAT BULLET and LISBOA STAR was forced to check in turn to avoid the heels of JUBILATION. App S Uzair was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he would be expected to demonstrate greater awareness to horses on his inside when racing in a tight field.

Approaching the 600M, THE MILLIONAIRE was forced to check to avoid the heels of D’GREAT BULLET which rolled in briefly.

JERAM VILLAGE (S Ruzaini) laid outwards between the 500M and the 400M, then commenced to lay inwards at about the 300M and brushed with THE MILLIONAIRE which became unbalanced.

FORTUNIQUE will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/Vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again. Trainer S Dunderdale was advised that a repetition may lead to the gelding being referred to the Racing Stewards for further sanction. A post-race veterinary examination of FORTUNIQUE revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

From the 300M, RISING GLORY (HS Gill) commenced to race greenly under pressure; first laying inwards and then shifting abruptly outwards causing SHELLOMADA (J De Souza) to shy away and be taken slightly wide.

SUNDAY, 31 MARCH 2019

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

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R394) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

WINNING TANGO (M Ganeesh) jumped awkwardly inwards and almost dislodged Jockey M Ganeesh. After jumping inwards, WINNING TANGO bumped MORALES (Z Khairil) and then shifted further inwards and bumped ELEGANT DANCER (KC Wong) inwards towards SWIFT (S Salee), which brushed with ORION (App CK Khaw). At this point, ORION was turned outwards and crowded SWIFT.

When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh stated that shortly before the gate opened, WINNING TANGO commenced to lean against the right hand side of the barrier. In attempting to edge his mount inwards, he took his right hand off the rein and attempted to use the framework of the stalls as leverage. The gate opened when he was not fully ready causing him to become very unbalanced as WINNING TANGO jumped forward.

After reviewing this incident, the Stewards accepted that Jockey M Ganeesh’s intention was to straighten his mount and obtain a good jump in order to take the lead, but severely cautioned him and warned him that under similar circumstances in future, he must ask the Starter for assistance and must not take his hands off the reins while in the barrier.

MORALES which suffered interference at the jump, was slow to find its stride.

Shortly after the jump, App WW Cheah, the rider of KARIGARA, attempted to steer his mount inwards from his wide barrier. At this point, KARIGARA laid abruptly inwards and brushed with COLONEL LINCOLN (J Low) and Jockey J Low was forced to take evasive action.

COLONEL LINCOLN was forced wide in the middle stages.

At about the 400M, ELEGANT DANCER laid inwards under pressure and reacted abruptly to one strike of the whip, forcing Jockey KC Wong to ease and correct.

At about the 400M, the whips of App WW Cheah, the rider of KARIGARA, and Jockey J Low, the rider of COLONEL LINCOLN became entangled causing Jockey J Low to drop his whip.

COLONEL LINCOLN, SWIFT and MORALES which were beaten 16 1/4, 16 1/4 and 22 1/4 lengths respectively, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

ENCOSTA ZONE (Z Khairil) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 300M, SING EXPRESS laid inwards under pressure.

Approaching the 200M, CHAR SIEW (M Ganeesh) laid outwards under pressure.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of SUPER EIGHT, stated that in his opinion, the 1800M distance of today’s race was too far. A post-race veterinary examination of SUPER EIGHT 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.

A post-race veterinary examination of ALL MY EYE (S Anandan) 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.

BELLA VELOCE (J Mallyon) was slow to begin.

PLATOON (HK Cheng) got its head up on jumping but broke on terms.

LIM’S BATTLE (HS Gill) was slow to find its stride.

IDEAL GUIDE (App WW Cheah) raced wide in the middle stages and HIGH TENSILE (App CC Wong) was forced to race wide, and to switch around IDEAL GUIDE in order to commence his run at the 500M.

Approaching the 400M, NEVERSAYNEVER (S Muniandy) was disappointed for a run on the heels of THE JEUNEYMAN (Y Aify).

Between the 400M and the 250M, IDEAL GUIDE was disappointed for a run on the heels of SHOWAR (S Ruzaini).

Approaching the 100M, CUBAN HEEL (App L De Souza) had to be guided into a narrow gap between WILLIAM KING (C Goon) on his inside and NEVERSAYNEVER on his outside.

A post-race veterinary examination of PLATOON revealed no significant finding. PLATOON which was beaten 17 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for a poor performance.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey C Goon, the rider of WILLIAM KING, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he failed to allow sufficient space for CUBAN HEEL (App L De Souza) to his inside approaching the 500M, causing CUBAN HEEL to be tightened against the rail and unbalanced.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey C Goon’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 8 April 2019 and to expire on 14 April 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:50pm).

RACE 4 (R397) AINTREE PARK CHALLENGE CUP

– 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Approaching the 1100M, as the pace slowed, D’GREAT RICH (App CC Wong) was eased off the heels of MORE POWER (J De Souza).

CONFEAT (O Chavez) laid inwards under pressure from approaching the 200M.

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

The Stewards enquired into the running and handling of CONFEAT (O Chavez). Jockey O Chavez stated that the gelding had raced three times, winning once, and on the other two occasions he was taken to the lead before tiring in the concluding stages. He therefore felt it was imperative to ride CONFEAT with patience and enable him to relax and save his energy, particularly as this race was over the longest distance he has tackled. He communicated this to the Owner, Navaneethasingham a/l A Ratnasingham, in the parade ring just prior to the race. He stated that he did not receive any particular riding instructions from Trainer SB Tan and therefore proceeded to ride CONFEAT in his preferred manner. Trainer SB Tan stated that his intention was for CONFEAT to be positioned in the “box seat” position just behind the leaders, but admitted that he relied on an assistant to communicate these instructions to Jockey O Chavez who did not receive them.

Jockey O Chavez further explained that he had struggled to settle CONFEAT, as there was little cover available in the small field and he felt that it would be unsafe to take the available position between AIR POWER and FULL BET, as he would have put himself in danger of running on to heels. He added that CONFEAT eventually relaxed at about the 900m and finished well when he commenced his effort from the 400m.

Trainer SB Tan pronounced himself satisfied with the ride given in the circumstances. The attention of all parties was drawn to the provisions of MRA Rule 117(4) which specifies that the jockey’s instructions must come from the Trainer, not the Owner. The Stewards otherwise accepted the explanations tendered.

Jockey O Chavez also mentioned that the fitting of a cross-nose band, which was intended to stop CONFEAT over-racing, may have backfired as the gelding seemed uncomfortable with this new gear. Trainer SB Tan was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to declare the use of cross-nose band within the prescribed time.

RACE 5 (R398) OPEN MAIDEN – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

MOONSHINE MISTRESS (J Mallyon) and LIGHTNING HERO (App A Suriya) were both slow to begin.

DONT MIND IFIDO (O Chavez) was allowed to settle forward into the lead but over-raced and failed to settle. When questioned, Jockey O Chavez reported that DONT MIND IFIDO was hard to control throughout the race and had tried to run out from the 800M. In the event, he felt it was prudent to ease the gelding in the concluding stages. The gelding which was beaten 16 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having difficult racing manners.

Approaching the 1200M, LIGHTNING HERO commenced to over-race, shifted inwards and brushed with BEAUTIFUL ONE (App S Uzair).

From the 600M, DONT MIND IFIDO laid outwards and negotiated the bend with difficulty causing LIM’S KEYWAY (C Goon), ROMAN WELLS (App N Varmah) and LIGHTNING HERO to be taken outwards in turn and forced wide around the bend.

LIGHTNING HERO was forced to race wide in order to make progress in the middle stages. At about the 200M, LIGHTNING HERO commenced to lay inwards under pressure.

I HAVE A DREAM (S Muniandy) which was beaten 19 3/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 6 (R399) CLASS 4 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

PARISBAS (HS Gill) jumped outwards and brushed with REAL MEAN (J De Souza) which was turned inwards. PARISBAS was bumped back inwards by REAL MEAN and lost its early position as a consequence. Shortly afterwards, PARISBAS ran onto the heels of REAL MEAN, clipped heels and dipped. Jockey J De Souza was shown the vision of these 2 incidents and warned by the Stewards that if bumped by a rival, he may hold his line but must never attempt to retaliate. He was also warned to respect the 2-length standard when crossing rivals.

PARISBAS laid outwards from the 600M and negotiated the bend with difficulty.

Approaching the 500M, SACRED EMPIRE (App CC Wong) was disappointed for a run on the heels of BLOOD ROYAL (KC Wong) and was shifted outwards and forfeited ground.

Approaching the 400M, BLOOD ROYAL had to be angled outwards to obtain a clear run on the outside of BACK TO THE TOWERS (S Anandan) but laid inwards. Approaching the 300M, BLOOD ROYAL commenced to lay persistently inwards and continued to do so until the finish causing Jockey KC Wong to ease and correct on several occasions.

Approaching the 200M, BROTHER WIND (O Chavez) was angled outwards to progress into a gap between AUSONE (App A Suriya) and SHOQEET (S Ruzaini) but as that gap narrowed approaching the 150M, BROTHER WIND was shifted abruptly inwards to obtain an alternative run against the rail.

SHOQEET laid inwards under pressure between the 200M and the 100M.

When questioned regarding the improved performance shown by SHOQEET, Trainer F Maynard stated that his was the gelding’s second run in this current preparation, having returned from an 8-month spell after transfer from Singapore. He added that SHOQEET was better suited by the longer distance of today’s race as compared to 1200M previously.

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

RACE 1 (R320) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE D)

Between the 1200M and the 1000M, FRENCH VINTAGE (S Anandan) appeared to over-race slightly.

At about the 300M, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of UNION JAC, dropped his whip. Jockey HS Gill was fined RM1000/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

RACE 2 (R321) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE D)

Jockeys M Ganeesh and S Ruzaini, the rider of HK DOLLAR and EXCITING PROSPECT respectively, were each fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for supplying the wrong saddle cloth numbers to the Trainers’ representatives when passing the saddles for weighing out. This resulted in HK DOLLAR and EXCITING PROSPECT having to be resaddled and delayed their progress to the start.

SONG KID (App L De Souza) jumped outwards and bumped SEA HORIZON (App KC Wong) which in turn bumped FULL MEANING (Lou Ho).

SEA HORIZON over-raced without cover between the 1300M and the 1000M.

At about the 250M, DEE MAJULAH (S Ipek) edged outwards causing MAGIC RANGER (HS Gill) to be momentarily crowded on the inside of EXCITING PROSPECT (S Ruzaini).

At about the 250M, EXCITING PROSPECT commenced to lay inwards under pressure and at about the 200M, caused DEE MAJULAH to be taken inwards which resulted in JUST VITAL (Z Khairil) being crowded between DEE MAJULAH and NOVA ACE (SU Lim). JUST VITAL was forced to check and was subsequently switched outwards to obtain clear running.

An objection was lodged by Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of JUST VITAL, placed fourth, against DEE MAJULAH (S Ipek) placed third, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 100M mark.

After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had affected the chances of JUST VITAL. The objection was upheld and the placings were amended to read:

No. 1 – EXCITING PROSPECT (S Ruzaini)

No. 2 – NOVA ACE (SU Lim)

No. 3 – JUST VITAL (Z Khairil)

No. 4 – DEE MAJULAH (S Ipek)

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of EXCITING PROSPECT, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to drift inwards from the 250M causing DEE MAJULAH to be taken inwards which resulted in JUST VITAL being crowded on his inside.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Ruzaini’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 Jockey S Ruzaini’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 19 March 2018 and to expire on 25 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (3:10pm).

FULL MEANING which was beaten 24 ¼ 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 EXCITING PROSPECT, Trainer C Leck stated that he was surprised by the gelding’s performance and could not confidently explain what had caused the improvement. The Stewards noted his explanation.

RACE 3 (R322) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE D)

KISS ME (App WK Lee) which dislodged its rider on the way to the start and galloped a considerable distance, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:51pm.

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

SPIN FIRE (M Ganeesh) raced wide from the 1000M to the 500M.

At about the 350M, NOVA RANGER (S Ruzaini) was disappointed for a run as GASSUR (O Chavez) momentarily shifted outwards.

Jockey S Ipek, the rider of SAND BANK, eased his horse in the final 100M, losing fifth place. Jockey S Ipek was shown the film of his ride and was reminded of his obligation under MRA Rule 44(6) that in future he would be expected to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards, failing which action may be taken against him.

RACE 10 (R329) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE D)

NATION THEATRE (S Ruzaini) jumped outwards and bumped US DOLLAR (App AM Aizat) which in turn bumped GALLOPY SWIFT (App AK Lim).

NOVA POWER (M Zairi) was slow to begin.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey Y Aify, the rider of ECLIPSE DANCER, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1300M, ECLIPSE DANCER (Y Aify) shifted inwards when insufficiently clear of ASPEN (SU Lim) which was taken inwards and bumped with VICTORY CAT (Lou Ho). VICTORY CAT was eased to avoid the heels of ASPEN as a consequence.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey Y Aify’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 12 March 2018 and to expire on 25 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6pm).

In shifting across, ECLIPSE DANCER was crowded by DAWN OF THE WORLD (S Anandan), and LIM’S BATTLE (HS Gill) was forced to ease slightly to avoid DAWN OF THE WORLD’s heels.

NATION THEATRE was eased in the last 100M when already beaten. A post-race veterinary examination of NATION THEATRE revealed no significant finding.

RACE 11 (R330) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE D)

Approaching the 400M, MUSANG KING (App AM Aizat) was crowded between MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw) which shifted out slightly and NANA (Z Khairil). At this point, NANA was shifted outwards to obtain a clear passage.

At about the 300M, STREET CHAMP (S Ruzaini) was taken to the outside and was eased. A post-race veterinary examination of STREET CHAMP 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.

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

REPORT OF ANALYSIS ON NON-RACE DAY SAMPLE

The report dated 1 March 2018 (NRD/V18/002) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 1 bottle of coded jockey urine sample was received on 19 February 2018, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations and that Sample Coded “J-3495” indicates the presence of “Dextromethorphan.”

Upon decoding, it was established that the abovementioned sample belonged to A Farezul (Muhammad Farezul Bin Aziz) and that it had been produced on 2^nd February 2018 when A Farezul was required by the Stewards, exercising their powers under MRA Rule 136(2), to supply a urine sample. The sample coded “J-3495” was stored in accordance with the provisions of MRA regulation 29.5 between 2^nd February and the first weekend of the Selangor February meeting, whereupon it was securely dispatched to the Veterinary Forensic Laboratory alongside the race day samples collected over that weekend.

At the time of supplying the sample, A Farezul was a Senior Track Rider registered to Trainer C Leck. However on 8^th February 2018 Trainer Leck informed the Racing Office at Selangor Turf Club that Farezul was no longer employed by him. An Inquiry into this matter will be held on a date to be fixed.

RACE 1 (R257) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 11 March 2018 (Sunday) at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of BEIJING STAR (F Yap) which was heavily restrained leaving the stalls and raced in rear before making some late progress.

Jockey F Yap stated that on jumping, BEIJING STAR threw its head up slightly and that he was not expecting this, having never ridden the horse before. As a consequence, Jockey F Yap took a tight grip of the horse’s head to regain his own balance.

Trainer WC Lim stated that BEIJING STAR has a tendency to throw its head up at the start and that he had neglected to inform Jockey F Yap of this.

The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 4 (R250) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 11 March 2018 (Sunday) at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of ASTRO MAN. Evidence was taken from Jockey M Ganeesh and Trainer SY Lim, the rider and Trainer of ASTRO MAN respectively.

Jockey M Ganeesh stated that although it was his intention to obtain a midfield position, he was distracted by JANGO (J Mallyon) on his outside which threatened to shift inwards and crowd him at about the 1000M. He therefore eased in anticipation, allowing JUST DUIT (S Sandana) to cross to the rail in front of him at the 900M. Thereafter, ASTRO MAN was placed in a mid-to-back position with no opportunity to improve until the straight.

Jockey M Ganeesh further added that ASTRO MAN had changed his legs approaching the 200M, at which point he attempted to shift outwards into a gap between SUNTZU (Z Khairil) and FLYING NEKO (R Woodworth). At about the 150M, ASTRO MAN changed his legs again and so he rode with less vigour for a few strides, for fear that he might become unbalanced and bump another horse.

The Stewards noted these explanations but warned Jockey M Ganeesh that in future he must be seen to take all permissible measures to give his mounts the best chance of obtaining the best possible placing.

At about the 1400M, SEA WORLD attempted to switch outwards to obtain clear running but was unable to find sufficient racing room on the inside of FORTUNIQUE (R Woodworth). There was brief contact between SEA WORLD and FORTUNIQUE, causing SEA WORLD to become unbalanced, losing 2 lengths. 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 (R262) CLASS 4 – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHIPS (App AM Aizat) and CATCH ME GREAT (App AK Lim) were both slow to begin.

MYDORA CUP

The start was delayed as ENCOSTA ZONE (Z Khairil) was difficult to be loaded. The mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

At about the 1100M, FAST RICH (S Sandana) crossed to the rail in front of ENCOSTA ZONE when not clear, causing ENCOSTA ZONE to check and NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) which was behind ENCOSTA ZONE, to be checked in turn.

The Stewards enquired into this incident and heard evidence from Jockey S Sandana, the rider of FAST RICH, that his mount was over-racing and that he had taken evasive action in order to avoid running onto the heels of BLOOD ROYAL (App AK Lim). 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.

At about the 1600M, NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) commenced to over-race and refused to settle in rear.

Between the 300M and the 200M, KARIGARA (App L De Souza) laid inwards under pressure, forcing the jockey to ease and correct the drift. KARIGARA subsequently shifted abruptly away from the left hand whip, and shifted out between the 200M and the 100M.

RACE 9 (R265) CLASS 3 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

HAWAIIAN KING (App W Faizal) turned outwards on jumping, briefly lost its footing, became unbalanced and was slow to find its stride as a consequence.

At about the 1200M, LIM’S SPRINT (App P Haris) threw its head up in response to being crossed by MR WOLFF (I Saifudin).

At about the 500M, LIM’S SPRINT began to lay outwards and despite the jockey’s efforts, brushed with LUCKY DAPPER (Z Khairil) at about the 400M, causing LUCKY DAPPER and MR WOLFF to be carried slightly outwards. LIM’S SPRINT continued to lay out under pressure until the finish, on several occasions coming close to LUCKY DAPPER. App P Haris, the rider of LIM’S SPRINT, was shown the vision of the incident and advised by the Stewards that under similar circumstances in future, he should attempt to switch his whip hand.

At about the 200M, HAWAIIAN KING laid outwards under pressure causing the jockey to ease and correct.

At about the 75M, LIM’S SPRINT shifted abruptly outwards when shying away from HAWAIIAN KING. This caused LUCKY DAPPER to be taken outwards and MR WOLFF to be eased to avoid the heels of LUCKY DAPPER.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 5 (R251) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 25 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GAZOO which raced in a mid-to-back position before making some late progress. Evidence was taken from App AM Aizat, the rider of GAZOO, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, and Trainer SB Tan, the Trainer of GAZOO.

App AM Aizat explained that he had intended to take a handy position, but the wide barrier made this difficult. He added that the saddle slipped badly on STAR INVINCIBLE (App N Varmah), which was racing directly in front of him from the 900M and he could see that the rider had very little control. He therefore decided not to attempt to pass STAR INVINCIBLE as he feared that it might shift abruptly or that the rider might become unseated.

App AM Aizat stated that when STAR INVINCIBLE was eventually pulled to the outside at about the 600M, he attempted to make progress but by that stage, the race had got away from him.

RACE 10 (R256) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

At the conclusion of an inquiry on 25 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, App S Saddam, the rider of RAINBOW STAR, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer PS Kumaran, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1200M, he failed to allow sufficient space to the horses on his inside and failed to take all reasonable corrective measures to prevent his horse from drifting in.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Saddam’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 App S Saddam’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 5 March 2018 and to expire on 11 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:05pm).

RACE 1 (R247) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

PRINCE NANO (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.

SONG KID (App L De Souza) laid inwards under pressure from the 300M.

In the last 200M, SUPER GOOD (SU Lim) shifted out slightly under pressure causing LIM’S RANGER (HS Gill) to be taken out slightly in response.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SUPER GOOD, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(c)(i) for hitting his horse forward of the shoulder.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of LIM’S RANGER, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 950M in this race, he failed to allow sufficient space for horses on his inside resulting in FULL BET (M Zairi) being tightened and forced to check as SONG KID (App L De Souza) laid inwards in response to being crowded.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey HS Gill’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 26 February 2018 and to expire on 4 March 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2pm).

HERECOMESMYMONEY (M Zairi) stood as the gates opened, then jumped slowly and was slow to find its stride.

RACING MAN (App S Saddam) jumped outwards and bumped CIVIL UNION (App AM Aizat) and lost its early position. Thereafter RACING MAN was outpaced at the half-way stage and became detached from the field before making late progress under pressure.

At about the 300M, SPEEDY WARRIOR (App WK Lee) was shifted out to obtain clear running but thereafter laid outwards and finished wide.

At about the 900M, PENDRAGON PRINCESS ran onto the heels of MAJOR IMPROVEMENT (R Woodworth) and the rider was forced to check.

At about the 600M, HAPPY DAYZ laid outwards and threw its head up when the rider attempted to take a narrow gap on the inside of TEH TARIK (M Ganeesh). HAPPY DAYZ forfeited ground as a result of this incident and thereafter raced in rear until making some progress under pressure from the 250M.

CRESCENDO laid out on the bend approaching the 400M and carried PENDRAGON PRINCESS slightly out.

PENDRAGON PRINCESS laid inwards under pressure between the 250M and the 100M.

At about the 100M, BIG PARIS (HS Gill) shifted outwards in response to slight contact from SYMPHONY ECLIPSE (S Ruzaini) on his inside.

App CK Khaw and Jockey M Ganeesh, the riders of LION CITY GOLD and TEH TARIK respectively, reported that their horses raced greenly. A post-race veterinary examination of LION CITY GOLD revealed no significant finding.

JANGO laid out under pressure at about the 200M.

At about the 175M, ASTRO MAN shifted out and around FLYING NEKO (R Woodworth) to obtain a clear passage and thereafter finished strongly despite apparent tender handling between the 150M and the 100M. An inquiry into the running and handling of ASTRO MAN (M Ganeesh) will be held at a date to be fixed.

App N Varmah thereafter pulled his horse to the outside in an attempt to pull-up for his own safety but was unable to do so and was dislodged after the winning post. The Stewards were unable to interview App N Varmah due to his injuries as he was subsequently taken to hospital for further observations. An inquiry into the condition of the tack used on STAR INVINCIBLE will be held at a date to be fixed.

Between the 1000M and the 500M, TOTALITY (SU Lim) raced wide.

At about the 400M, SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY (HS Gill) shied away from RIGHT TIMING (Lou Ho) which laid inwards under pressure, and bumped DROUGHT (J Mallyon) which became unbalanced as a consequence. SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY displayed a tendency to shift in away from the whip at about the 50M.

FLYING AHEAD (App W Faizal) laid outwards under pressure in the last 100M.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of POLO MASTER, Trainer WC Lim reported to the Stewards that in his opinion, the gelding had been unsuited by the quick back-up having raced 6 days previously. A post-race veterinary examination of POLO MASTER revealed no significant finding.

As a result of this incident, PHILIP became unbalanced and EMPEROR WARRIOR (SU Lim) had to take evasive action to avoid his heels. In doing so, EMPEROR WARRIOR shifted inwards abruptly and brushed the rail. EMPEROR WARRIOR lost his position as a result.

At about the 250M, ELEGENT (App KC Wong) compounded and rolled inwards causing SGFIFTY (App AM Aizat) to be eased off his heels.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R209) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A) – BEST OF LUCK STAKES, SATURDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 24 February 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GHOST AFFAIR in the above race. Evidence was taken from App P Haris, the rider of GHOST AFFAIR, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim.

After reviewing the vision of the race and considering the evidence tendered, App P Haris pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:

Between the 900M and the 600M, he made no attempt to make progress on the inside of LONESOME ME (App S Saddam) when he had the opportunity to do so, and therefore remained in a mid-to-back position when he had been instructed to ride the horse forward;
At about the 600M, he restrained GHOST AFFAIR unnecessarily and forfeited up to two lengths which resulted in GHOST AFFAIR being placed further back in the field and further behind the leaders;
Between the 400M and the 150M, having obtained a clear run on the outside, he failed to ride with his full vigour.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App P Haris’ 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) months with effect from Monday, 26 February 2018 and to expire on 25 April 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:10pm).

At about the 550M, SPEED CRAFT (S Anandan) shifted slightly out at the point of the bend and bumped ZHAN SHEN (S Ruzaini).

Approaching the 400M, SPEED CRAFT was tightened for room in between ZHAN SHEN and ELEGENT (App KC Wong).

App S Uzair was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip.

The Stewards questioned Trainer WC Lim regarding the apparent improved performance of POLO MASTER today. Trainer WC Lim explained that POLO MASTER (App AK Lim) had shown a tendency to be lazy and unmotivated in his trackwork, and therefore he deliberately changed the horse’s training regime, including sending him to two Barrier Practices prior to this race. He further added that POLO MASTER had performed well in the second of those Barrier Practices under a very inexperienced rider.

GONG XI FA CAI STAKES

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:45pm.

TOTALITY (App S Saddam) reared as the stalls opened and was slow to begin.

ITS ONLY MONEY (App AM Aizat) was slow to begin.

In the early stages, VICTORY CAT (J Mallyon) over-raced and got its head up.

D’GREAT NIMBUS had a tendency to shift in under pressure causing the jockey to correct and ride with hands and heels only in the last few strides.

SKYHAWK (S Ruzaini) displayed an inclination to race with her head up. Trainer C Leck reported to the Stewards that this represented the mare’s normal racing manners and appears to be a fixed tendency

RACE 10 (R217) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

CHINESE NEW YEAR STAKES

DEE MAJULAH (S Anandan) jumped outwards and bumped D’GREAT MAGIC (App KC Wong). As a consequence, DEE MAJULAH lost his position and was unable to take the lead as instructed.

When questioned, Jockey S Anandan stated that DEE MAJULAH was held in the barrier for a long time and just gave an ordinary jump. Thereafter he found himself on the heels of D’GREAT MAGIC which shifted inwards and crowded him. He was eventually able to obtain a handy position in fourth but was rather disappointed by DEE MAJULAH’s response in the straight. He added that DEE MAJULAH may have been unsuited by the rain-affected going. A post-race veterinary examination of DEE MAJULAH revealed no significant finding.

SPARKLER (App CK Khaw) was disappointed for a run between the 300M and the 200M, and was switched out to obtain clear running at about the 200M.
