RACE 2 (R956) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Prior to the race, Trainer S Edwards, the Trainer of RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon), informed the Stewards that the mare would be ridden with restraint from a wide barrier today. On jumping, RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN threw her head up and then raced greenly in the early stages.

TAIL SPIN (S Anandan) jumped slightly inwards, causing PLATINUM TYCOON (App L De Souza) and D’GREAT WALL (App KC Wong) to be briefly crowded to his inside.

Approaching the 1000M, PLATINUM TYCOON shifted abruptly inwards causing App L De Souza to ease and correct. In doing so, PLATINUM TYCOON was shifted outwards causing NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) to run on his heels and to be checked.

Approaching the 200M, ACIPENSER (J De Souza) was shifted outwards to take a gap between RED SAPPHIRE (App CK Khaw) and NOVA SPIRIT (SU Lim). Thereafter NOVA SPIRIT commenced to shift persistently outwards away from ACIPENSER and finished wide out. The Stewards showed Jockey SU Lim the vision of the race and warned him that under similar circumstances in future, he should take appropriate measures to keep his mount straight, including switching his whip hand.

When questioned, App KC Wong, the rider of D’GREAT WALL, stated that it was his intention to obtain a handy or midfield position but D’GREAT WALL showed no pace in the early stages and then, approaching the 1000M, he had been unable to hold his position on the inside of PLATINUM TYCOON which shifted inwards. Thereafter, he felt that D’GREAT WALL responded fairly to his urgings but stated that the gelding’s lack of early pace had left him placed too far back in the field. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT WALL revealed no significant finding.

RACE 4 (R958) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

When questioned regarding the poor performance of TIGER BAY, Trainer F Maynard stated that as TIGER BAY had drawn a wide barrier, it was his intention to race further back in the field than his previous start. However in his opinion, TIGER BAY had resented being restrained in the early stages during which he also received some interference, and thereafter sulked and failed to perform.

The Stewards warned Trainer SB Tan that according to the provisions of MRA Rule 35(8), he should inform the Stewards if he intended this, or any other horse in his training, to be ridden differently to the manner of its most recent start.

RACE 8 (R901) STAYER STAKES B – 2000M (LONG COURSE B)

In the final 200M, SUNNY (M Ganeesh) showed a tendency to lay outwards under pressure causing the rider to ride with less than full vigour in order to avoid contact with TARZAN (Y Aify). Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of SUNNY, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(12) for making a celebratory gesture prior to the winning post.

At about the 100M, KARIGARA (S Sandana) was angled outwards to obtain clear running.

RACE 9 (R902) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)

ELITE CONQUEROR (HS Gill) was slow to begin, and forced to race wide in the middle stages to make progress. ELITE CONQUEROR which was beaten 22 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

BATTLE HORSE (S Sandana) was slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1200M, ARC CARA (C Goon) was over-racing and had to be eased to avoid the heels of FLYING WINNER (Z Khairil). In doing so, ARC CARA shifted slightly inwards causing NOBLE LIAISON (App A Zaimuddin) and REBEL FURY (J Mallyon) to be briefly crowded on its inside.

LUCKY SIXTYSIX (App AM Aizat) raced ungenerously in the middle stages.

The Stewards questioned Trainer BT Lim regarding the improved performance of NOBLE LIAISON. He explained that NOBLE LIAISON had benefitted from a drop in class today and added that he also felt that the gelding was not fully effective over the 1600M distance of its last race.

App A Zaimuddin, the rider of NOBLE LIAISON, was fined RM100/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a), for failing to present his Winning Rides Book to the Stewards.

SHUYING XIAOXIAO (Z Khairil) jumped slowly and awkwardly inwards, and threw its head up.

RED SAPPHIRE (J Low) jumped slowly outwards causing BEAUTIFUL BABY (SU Lim) and DAWN OF THE WORLD (App L De Souza) to be taken slightly outwards in response.

SHUYING XIAOXIAO which was beaten 20 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

The Steward showed App AM Aizat, the rider of AMAZING, the vision of the race, in which he quickly established AMAZING in the lead and continued to race in a clear lead until weakening from the 400M. The Stewards warned App AM Aizat that in future he must be seen to take all measures to gain the best chance to obtain the best possible placing, such as setting an appropriate tempo, and allowing his mount the opportunity for a breather when not pressured for the lead.

The Stewards will hold an inquiry into the running and handling of BEAUTIFUL BABY (Jockey SU Lim / Trainer SY Lim) at a date to be fixed.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of MONTE CARLO, B Trainer Siva Kumar s/o Subramaniam, the representative of Trainer PS Kumaran, the Trainer of MONTE CARLO (App KC Wong), stated that in his opinion, MONTE CARLO benefitted from racing next to the rail which helped him maintain a straight course in the closing stages.

After reviewing the films and considering the evidence tendered, App S Uzair 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 in the final 200M of the race, he failed to ride with sufficient vigour.

When deciding on a penalty, the Stewards took into account App S Uzair’s guilty plea, riding records and mitigating factors. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App S Uzair’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races, trials and trackwork for a period of three (3) months with effect from 23 July 2018 and to expire on 22 October 2018, both dates inclusive.

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 (R875) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

SINGSURAT (J Mallyon) was slow to begin.

SPEED CRAFT (S Ruzaini) sat back in the stall and was slowly into stride as a consequence.

Approaching the 1200M, MUSANG KING (C Goon) was restrained to avoid the heels of D’GREAT MAGIC (App KC Wong).

At about the 400M, SINGSURAT was disappointed for a run on the heels of POLO MASTER (App AK Lim). Subsequently, SINGSURAT was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 400M, D’GREAT MAGIC laid out abruptly, forcing the rider to correct.

At about the 300M, JUST VITAL (S Sandana) was briefly eased to avoid the heels of SINGSURAT.

SPEED CRAFT which was beaten 22 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 2 (R876) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

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

At about the 1400M, BORN A FIGHTER (App WK Lee) and MR CONNERY (J De Souza) were briefly crowded on the inside of ELEGENT (APP AM Aizat).

Approaching the 1000M, LIM’S REUNION (App A Zaimuddin) threw its head up and laid inwards abruptly.

COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez) was forced to race wide in order to make progress in the middle stages.

UNION JAC (HS Gill) was disappointed for a run at about the 400M and was switched inwards approaching the 300M.

Approaching 200M, COMMODORE LINCOLN laid inwards causing the rider to ease and correct in order to maintain his position on the outside of NOVA POWER.

RACE 3 (R877) CLASS 4 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

STAR INVINCIBLE (J De Souza) jumped inwards and bumped LIM’S BATTLE (HS Gill) inwards. LIM’S BATTLE was slow to find its stride as a consequence.

TARZAN (Y Aify) showed no pace in the early stages.

THAI BAHT (M Ganeesh) showed no pace in the early stages, despite Jockey M Ganeesh administering reminders at intervals from about the 1000M. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported that his instructions were to relax the gelding and conserve his energy for a late finish but THAI BAHT raced with little enthusiasm in the early stages. Jockey M Ganeesh further stated that THAI BAHT displayed some response when urged in the middle stages and caught up to the remainder of the field. However in the straight, the gelding displayed a tendency to shift away from the whip under pressure and he felt unable to use his whip with full vigour. He added that due to THAI BAHT’s greenness under pressure, the gelding was denied a clear run on more than one occasion. A post-race veterinary examination of THAI BAHT revealed no significant finding.

Approaching the 400M, D’GREAT RISE (J Low) was disappointed for a run on the heels of CONFOUND (S Ruzaini).

From the 400M, TRUMPS UP (App S Uzair) had a tendency to lay inwards under pressure causing the rider to ease and correct on several occasions.

HORSE(S) WEIGHT DEVIATION OF 15KGS OR MORE
Race	Horse	Up (+) / Down (-)(in kgs)
3	CRAZY CLUB	+17
Note: The above horse(s) was/were checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was/were passed fit to start.

RACE 4 (R878) OPEN NOVICE (SW) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

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

LIM’S STARDOM (App A Zaimuddin) raced greenly and laid inwards in the early stages.

DAHEES (O Chavez) shifted inwards under pressure from the 200M.

CHARLIES MISSILE (App WK Lee) which was beaten 23 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App AM Aizat, the rider of HALO BRIGHT, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 1200M, he moved across DAHEES when not sufficiently clear, causing that horse to be carried inwards towards CHARLIES MISSILE which in turn was carried onto TILSWORTH JACOBI (J Low), which was severely checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App AM Aizat’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 AM Aizat’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with effect from 23 July 2018 and to expire on 5 August 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:45pm).

RACE 5 (R879) METRO A (SW) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

OPTIMUS (M Ganeesh) reared as the gates opened and was slow to find its stride.

D’GREAT SONG (App KC Wong) jumped inwards and crowded D’GREAT CONQUEROR (App AM Aizat) on the outside of BRILLIANT DEAL (App W Faizal), which was bumped outwards by HATTA (S Ruzaini).

Between the 600M and 500M, D’GREAT CONQUEROR was forced to ease in order to avoid the heels of COMMANDO ECLIPSE (Y Aify) which laid in around the bend. As a result of this, Jockey Y Aify was warned by the Stewards that he must show greater awareness of runners on his inside in future.

Approaching the 300M, BIG BOSS (App WK Lee) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 100M, LUKE MAN (F Yap) laid outwards abruptly and bumped with D’GREAT SONG and became unbalanced. D’GREAT SONG was carried outwards and bumped with BIG BOSS.

Approaching the 50M, BRILLIANT DEAL (App W Faizal) shifted out under pressure causing LUKE MAN to be briefly eased in order to avoid his heels in the latter stages. App W Faizal was warned that he must exercise greater care to keep his horses straight under similar circumstances in future.

JERAM VILLAGE (Z Khairil) was forced to race wide in the middle stages in an attempt to make progress. When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of JERAM VILLAGE, stated that his instructions were to race with cover. However, he felt that JERAM VILLAGE was struggling to maintain the pace over today’s shorter distance of 1200M, and therefore allowed JERAM VILLAGE to continue to race wide in order to maintain his momentum.

App AM Aizat, the rider of D’GREAT CONQUEROR, returned to scale 1.8kgs overweight. Initial evidence was taken from App AM Aizat, in the presence of his Master, Trainer F Maynard, and Track Rider Muhammad Aiman Bin Mohd Nazir (TR.110), an employee of Trainer F Maynard. The Stewards adjourned the inquiry to a date to be fixed.

JERAM VILLAGE shifted outwards shortly after the line, causing OPTIMUS (M Ganeesh) to be eased to avoid his heels. The Stewards warned Jockey Z Khairil to take greater care when pulling up after the line.

THESE STREETS (App AM Aizat) and TAFFETAS (App CK Khaw) were both slow to begin.

Approaching the 200M and at about the 200M, CAPTAIN JAZZ (App KC Wong) laid inwards, and had to be eased and corrected.

JEFFREY (J Mallyon) jumped awkwardly outwards and bumped with D’GREAT SUPREME (App KC Wong).

TRIPLE ONE D’GREAT (R Rueven) jumped inwards causing FOR FUN ONLY (App J Daniel) to be taken inwards and brush METALLOCENE (O Chavez), which was crowded on the outside of BAKUTEH (M Ganeesh).

Approaching the 600M, SIX EMPIRE (C Goon) was crowded between ALWAYS D’GREAT (App L De Souza) and STEP BY STEP (HS Gill), and was forced to check.

FOR FUN ONLY was forced to race wide in the middle stages in order to maintain a forward position.

Approaching the 200M, FOR FUN ONLY laid inwards under pressure and came across SIX EMPIRE which was being shifted outwards to obtain clear running. At this point, SIX EMPIRE made contact with the heels of FOR FUN ONLY and blundered, causing the rider to lose his irons. After reviewing the vision of the incident, 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 100M, METALLOCENE laid in slightly under pressure and brushed with RA FORCE (App P Mogun).

At about the 50M, STEP BY STEP laid in under pressure and briefly crowded METALLOCENE on the outside of RA FORCE.

MOGAN’S PRIDE (App CK Khaw) jumped outwards and bumped BAHAR (S Ruzaini).

RAINBOW FISH (App AM Aizat) raced ungenerously in the early stages and had to be put under strong pressure to maintain his position. Thereafter, RAINBOW FISH raced wider around the bend in order to make progress. When questioned, Trainer R Lines, the trainer of RAINBOW FISH, stated that App AM Aizat reported that the horse had run flat. He added that RAINBOW FISH had been training well during the week. He was therefore unwilling to attribute the gelding’s disappointing performance to backing up within 7 days. The Stewards instructed Trainer R Lines to report anything he subsequently discovers that may have affected RAINBOW FISH’s performance.

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

I’M COMING BABY (App A Suriya) showed no pace in the early and middle stages despite being urged.

Approaching the 400M, EN LAUDER (App L De Souza) laid outwards on the bend, brushed with RAINBOW FISH and became unbalanced.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 6 (R848) CLASS 4 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 8 JULY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 10 July 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of LIM’S ELUSIVE. Evidence was taken from App A Zaimuddin, the rider of LIM’S ELUSIVE, in the presence of his Master, Trainer BT Lim. App A Zaimuddin was assisted by Ms Ramizah Bt. Ab Rahim (SC. 35), an employee of Trainer BT Lim, as an interpreter.

Trainer BT Lim stated that this was the first time that LIM’S ELUSIVE had raced under his training, having been transferred from Singapore. He informed the Stewards that he had instructed App A Zaimuddin to take up a position where the gelding was travelling comfortably, and to ride a patient race.

App A Zaimuddin stated that LIM’S ELUSIVE was frequently changing its legs, which he reported to a Stipendiary Steward after the race. In the circumstances, he had concentrated on keeping LIM’S ELUSIVE balanced in the middle stages of the race rather than attempting to make progress towards the leaders. He added that LIM’S ELUSIVE had given little response to pressure from the 400M.

Trainer BT Lim further stated that he believed that LIM’S ELUSIVE had struggled to cope with the undulations of the track, and may be better on softer going.

After reviewing the vision of the race and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards warned App A Zaimuddin that in future he must ride all his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

RACE 6 (R848) CLASS 4 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 8 JULY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 10 July 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of GOLDEN PENINSULA. Evidence was taken from App CK Khaw, the rider of GOLDEN PENINSULA, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, and Dr James Yu, Veterinary Surgeon of Selangor Turf Club.

Trainer R Lines stated that he believes that the gelding performs best when obtaining a handy position in the early stages. He therefore instructed App CK Khaw to adopt similar tactics to GOLDEN PENINSULA’s previous start in Penang, where it had raced prominently under App CK Khaw and finished second, beaten half-a-length.

App CK Khaw stated that he was unable to obtain the forward position he wanted from barrier 9, as several horses on his inside showed early speed. He therefore opted to shift in behind his stable mate, RAINBOW FISH (App L De Souza) so as not to be forced wide around the bend. Thus he found himself further back in the field than intended, and explained that although GOLDEN PENINSULA responded to pressure from the 400M, he was unable to reach the leaders. App CK Khaw added that, with the benefit of hindsight, he should perhaps have attempted to make progress on the outside of RAINBOW FISH between the 800M and the 600M.

App CK Khaw further stated that GOLDEN PENINSULA had changed his legs under pressure approaching the 200M and appeared to be moving short when returning to the unsaddling area. Dr James Yu, Club Veterinary Surgeon, reported that although GOLDEN PENINSULA displayed no abnormalities immediately post-race, the gelding was significantly lame on its near fore leg the following morning.

At the conclusion of the inquiry, App CK Khaw pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(11) in that he failed to report to a Stipendiary Steward something that may have affected the performance or the chances of his horse in the race. He was fined RM1000/- and was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days, which was deferred to commence with effect from 16 July 2018 and to expire on 22 July 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:45pm). The Stewards also warned App CK Khaw that in future he must do his best to ride to his instructions.

TUESDAY, 10 JULY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OFFICIAL BARRIER PRACTICE

NOVA ACE (W2) which was lame off fore after its Barrier Practice, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again.

RACE 12 (R854) CLASS 4 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B), SUNDAY, 8 JULY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2018

Jockey I Saifudin (SOON SEEKER) subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Stewards considered the application for a stay which was allowed. The appeal hearing will be held at a date to be fixed.

TUESDAY, 10 JULY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB TRACKWORK

It was observed by a Stipendiary Steward on Tuesday, 10 July 2018, that the following horses were being exercised on a section of the Number 2 Turf Track that was clearly marked as not for use. The trainers and riders of the respective horses were all warned that a penalty may be imposed under similar circumstances in future.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 8 JULY 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 (R843) CLASS 5 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

The Stewards ordered a veterinary examination to be carried out on BULL AND BEAR (App CK Khaw) on the morning of the race. BULL AND BEAR had finished last of 13, beaten 17 lengths, on its previous start and had subsequently been scratched from two engagements due to injuries on its off fore. No abnormalities were detected at the time of examination by the Chief Veterinary Surgeon.

GOLDHILL PRINCESS (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

NOVA GENERAL (J Low) over-raced without cover in the early stages and raced wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 200M, GALLOPY SWIFT (App AK Lim) was shifted outwards to avoid the heels of COMMODORE LINCOLN (O Chavez). Thereafter, GALLOPY SWIFT laid inwards under pressure in the closing strides causing MONTE CARLO (App KC Wong) to be checked in order to avoid his heels. As a result of this incident, the Stewards reprimanded App AK Lim and warned him to make greater effort to keep his mounts straight under similar circumstances in future.

When questioned, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of GOLDHILL PRINCESS, reported that the mare was slow to find her stride and that he was unable to obtain a forward position as a consequence. He further reported that GOLDHILL PRINCESS produced a disappointing response to pressure in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of GOLDHILL PRINCESS revealed no significant finding.

RACE 2 (R844) CLASS 5 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

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

MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw) got its head up on jumping, was slow to find its stride and raced ungenerously in the early stages.

PEACH BOWL (App WK Lee) shifted inwards shortly after the start causing SCOTTIE (J Low) to be taken inwards onto SUPER EIGHT (O Chavez) which bumped with SHUYING XIAOXIAO (Z Khairil). As a result of this incident, App WK Lee was reprimanded and warned by the Stewards to allow sufficient room to runners on his inside at the start in future.

SCOTTIE which was taken inwards shortly after the start, was then awkwardly placed on the heels of PEACH BOWL and forced to check.

LIM’S ACTION (HS Gill) raced wide in the early and middle stages.

SHUYING XIAOXIAO was briefly disappointed for a run approaching the 500M.

Approaching the 300M, SUPER EIGHT was observed to fly-jump. Thereafter, SUPER EIGHT shifted inwards causing PEACH BOWL to be checked to avoid his heels approaching the 200M. As a result of this incident, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of SUPER EIGHT, was reprimanded and warned by the Stewards to keep his mounts straight under similar circumstances in future.

TAILSPIN (S Anandan) which was beaten 28 ½ lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Post-race veterinary examinations of LIM’S ACTION and SCOTTIE revealed that both geldings bled and will both 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 (R845) CLASS 4 – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)

The Stewards ordered a veterinary examination to be carried out on EASTERN TOWKAY on the morning of the race. EASTERN TOWKAY had reportedly been suffering from a stone bruise when performing poorly on 7^th April 2018 before winning on 15^th April 2018. Subsequently, the gelding was withdrawn from an engagement on 20^th May 2018 due to a nail prick near its foot. EASTERN TOWKAY was found to be correctly shod and not suffering from any foot problems by the Chief Veterinary Surgeon.

CONFOUND (O Chavez) jumped awkwardly and brushed the side of the gate, and was slow to begin as a consequence.

RAMIFICATIONS (Z Khairil) was slow to begin. Jockey Z Khairil reported that he dropped his whip at about the 500M. He was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

MEIZU (HS Gill) over-raced in the early stages.

AUSSIE EAGLE (App AM Aizat) over-raced in the early stages and had to be shifted outwards approaching the 800M to avoid the heels of BAHAR (S Ruzaini). AUSSIE EAGLE commenced to lay in at about the 50M, causing his rider to ease and correct.

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez, the rider of CONFOUND, reported that due to the poor jump, he had found himself further back in the field than ideal in a slowly-run race. He added that in the circumstances, CONFOUND had performed creditably and finished off his race well.

M SEVEN (App AK Lim) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 1100M, WHAT laid inwards in response to being crossed by DAHEES and briefly crowded POWER EXPRESS (HS Gill).

Approaching the 500M, WHAT was eased to avoid the heels of GHOST SPIRIT (App A Zaimuddin).

Jockey HS Gill, the rider of POWER EXPRESS, dropped his whip just inside the 400M. He was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a).

DOUBLE RAINBOW 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.

Inquiries into the running and handling of GOLDEN PENINSULA (App CK Khaw) and LIM’S ELUSIVE (App A Zaimuddin) will be held at a date to be fixed. Post-race veterinary examinations of GOLDEN PENINSULA and LIM’S ELUSIVE revealed no significant finding.

ENCOSTA ZONE (S Sandana) was slow to begin.

GOOD DEAL (App WK Lee) was outpaced in the early stages.

HAPPY BUFFALO (I Saifudin) over-raced without cover in the early stages and, when shifted inwards to obtain cover at about the 1000M, threatened to run onto the heels of TILSWORTH MALI (C Goon) causing the rider to check and shift outwards.

Approaching the 800M, HAPPY BUFFALO once again attempted to run onto the heels of TILSWORTH MALI, forcing his rider to ease.

D’GREAT TALENT (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride and showed no pace thereafter.

JABBAR (O Chavez) over-raced in the early stages, laid inwards and briefly crowded BRILLIANT STAR to his inside.

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

LORD OF SHANGHAI (Y Aify) jumped awkwardly inwards and was very slow to find its stride.

ZHAN SHEN (HK Cheng) was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barrier at the request of the rider and was passed fit to race.

ARLO (S Ruzaini) threw his head up on jumping and attempted to savage JANGO (S Sandana) in the first few strides when crowded by that rival to the outside. Thereafter, ARLO was taken back in the field. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini reported that he had dropped ARLO behind the other runners in order to carry out the riding instructions which were to ride a patient race from a wide draw. He added that ARLO gave a disappointing response to pressure in the straight. 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.

GHOST AFFAIR (App A Zaimuddin) raced keenly in the early stages.

MR CONNERY (J De Souza) shifted inwards under pressure at about the 300M, causing FLYING AHEAD (A Aucharuz) to be shifted outwards to avoid his heels and to obtain clear running.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey I Saifudin, the rider of SOON SEEKER, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 500M, he shifted his horse outwards when not fully clear of MAGICAL TALENT, causing that horse to be taken outwards in response and bump onto LIM’S STARDOM (App A Zaimuddin).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey I Saifudin’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 I Saifudin’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) race days with effect from 16 July 2018 and to expire on 21 July 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:55pm).

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 20 MAY 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding (Race 1), upgraded to “Good” before Race 2 (Races 2 to 12).

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 (R641) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

FRENCH VINTAGE (S Ruzaini) slipped backwards as the gate opened, became unbalanced and jumped awkwardly outwards. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that this incident had prevented him from obtaining a forward position and therefore affected the performance of FRENCH VINTAGE.

SATELLITE GENIUS (App AK Lim) was slow to find its stride.

FLYING NEKO (S Anandan) jumped outwards and crowded MAGIC RANGER (HS Gill) on the inside of SOKOR GEDEBE (App CK Khaw).

In the middle stages, FRENCH VINTAGE and SATELLITE GENIUS were both forced to race wide in order to make progress.

At about the 100M, D’GREAT LEGION (App L De Souza) laid outwards briefly under pressure causing PERCIUS (Y Aify) to be taken slightly outwards.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of ONCE A THIEF (App S Uzair), Trainer L Moy stated that he attributed the improvement of ONCE A THIEF’s performance to the removal of Blinkers on this occasion. He stated that App S Uzair had felt that the gelding was uncomfortable with the gear in his previous start. His explanation was noted.

RACE 2 (R642) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

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

NOVA ACE (App WK Lee) jumped awkwardly inwards and brushed with ELITE GUSTAVO (HS Gill), and was slowly away as a consequence.

ENDURANCE (App L De Souza) got its head up on jumping.

RED EASTERN (C Goon) was forced to race wide in the middle stages to maintain a forward position and compounded in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination of RED EASTERN revealed no significant finding.

ASHQAR (O Chavez) was observed to be carrying its head awkwardly from the 400M. Jockey O Chavez, the rider of ASHQAR, reported after the race that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of ASHQAR revealed no significant finding.

Jockey A Aucharuz, the rider of SONG KID, reported after the race that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of SONG KID revealed no significant finding.

App AM Aizat, the rider of ELEGANT DANCER, reported after the race that his saddle slipped backwards from about the 600M.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of HERECOMESMYMONEY (SU Lim), Trainer C Leck reported that HERECOMESMYMONEY is an inconsistent, erratic mare and may have run badly last time due to racing away from her home-base as she is a poor traveller. He further added that the overnight rain would have been in HERECOMESMYMONEY’s favour as she prefers some ease in the going. His explanation was noted.

When corrected, NOVA POWER shifted inwards causing SILVER POWER (App AK Lim) to check and switch outwards to avoid his heels, and WINGED FOOT (J De Souza) to be bumped slightly inwards. As a result of this incident, the Stewards warned App N Varmah, the rider of NOVA POWER, that he must not allow his mount to shift ground unless it is safe to do so.

GHOST AFFAIR (C Goon) shifted inwards under pressure between the 400M and the 200M.

AMI ELEVEN (J De Souza) over-raced in the early stages.

GOLD KIDS (S Sandana) raced in a detached last place before making progress from the 400M. When questioned regarding the performance of GOLD KIDS, Jockey S Sandana reported that his mount showed no pace in the early and middle stages and although he had urged him to keep in touch, he did not wish to place GOLD KIDS under full pressure until he reached the straight. Having heard his evidence, the Stewards reminded him of his obligations that he should ride all his mounts in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

When questioned regarding the performance of TAIL SPIN, Jockey J Mallyon reported that his horse over-raced in the early stages, and when restrained, showed little enthusiasm and got too far back in the field to be competitive.

EN LAUDER (J Low) plunged as the gates opened and was slowly away as a consequence.

PANDA BOMB (S Ruzaini) over-raced approaching the 1000M.

At about the 1000M, PANDA BOMB, which was racing in restricted room on the inside, threw its head up in response to D’GREAT EFFORT (App KC Wong) shifting slightly inwards. This caused PANDA BOMB to slow down in front of PROFESSOR X (O Chavez), which was forced to take evasive action and shift abruptly outwards to avoid the heels of PANDA BOMB. As PROFESSOR X shifted outwards, NOBLE LIAISON (HS Gill) was carried outwards in response and RAINBOW FISH (F Yap) was forced to check to avoid the heels of NOBLE LIAISON.

At about the 600M, PANDA BOMB was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

Jockey F Yap, the rider of RAINBOW FISH, reported that after suffering early interference, the gelding was too far back in the field to be competitive.

Approaching the 200M, ZHUHAI (A Aucharuz) commenced to lay outwards under a left-hand drive causing SPADE OF ACE (App AK Lim) to be crowded between ZHUHAI and CHIPS, and CHIPS to be bumped by SPADE OF ACE. As a result of this incident, Jockey A Aucharuz was severely reprimanded by the Stewards and warned to take all measures to keep his mount straight under similar circumstances in future.

The Stewards questioned Trainer M Sukri regarding the different tactics that were adopted on DAYFLIRT today. Trainer M Sukri stated that he instructed Jockey J Mallyon to ride a forward race and obtain the best possible position, including taking the lead if it was available.

RACE 8 (R648) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

MITAVITE FORMULA 3 STAKES

LUCKY SIXTYSIX (Z Khairil) got its head up on jumping and over-raced in the early stages. LUCKY SIXTYSIX continued to over-race in the middle stages and, approaching the 900M, was shifted wide to avoid the heels of ELITE GOLD. LUCKY SIXTYSIX raced wide thereafter.

BATTLE HORSE (S Salee) was observed to be over-racing approaching the 1000M.

Approaching the 400M, SANGKURIANG (I Fadzlei) was shifted outwards to avoid the heels of OPTIMUS (A Aucharuz) and in doing so, SANGKURIANG bumped GORDON G (App L De Souza) onto ELITE GOLD which in turn bumped LUCKY SIXTYSIX. After reviewing the films of the incident, 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 250M, OPTIMUS was disappointed for a run on the heels of JUBILATION (S Ruzaini) and was thereafter switched outwards to obtain clear running.

Between the 250M and the 150M, D’GREAT RICH (App AM Aizat) was disappointed for a run on the heels of JUBILATION and WHAT IFF (S Anandan), and was only able to eventually obtain clear running inside the 100M.

The Stewards questioned Trainer W Lim and Jockey SU Lim regarding the tactics that were employed on NOVA WARRIOR. Trainer W Lim stated that it was his intention for the rider to obtain cover on NOVA WARRIOR but due to the slow early pace, Jockey SU Lim decided to go to the front. Jockey SU Lim added that NOVA WARRIOR became somewhat excitable when being attended in the barrier and was difficult to control in the early stages.

Trainer W Lim explained that in future races, he would ask the rider of NOVA WARRIOR to seek cover but allow them flexibility to take the lead if necessary, noting that the horse had previously been successful under forward tactics in Singapore.

At about the 400M, WINNING TANGO rolled outwards and despite being quickly corrected, caused MAGICAL TALENT to be taken outwards onto HAPPY EDDINGTON (S Salee) which shied away and caused TALISMAN (App W Faizal) and SOUTHERN HUSSLER (O Chavez) to be taken outwards in response.

ELF’S DREAM (J De Souza) jumped inwards and bumped AIR POWER (A Aucharuz) and NOVA SPIRIT (O Chavez). NOVA SPIRIT was slow to find its stride as a consequence.

The Stewards observed that Jockey J De Souza had used his whip in the right hand at the jump on ELF’S DREAM, which contributed to the horse jumping inwards. As a result of this incident, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey J De Souza and warned him that he must keep his mounts straight at the start and must not do anything that could produce the opposite effect.

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

When questioned, Jockey O Chavez stated that NOVA SPIRIT takes time to find top gear and, as such, the lack of clear running had affected his performance.

When questioned, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of TWODOLLARMUPPET, reported that his horse gave little response to pressure in the straight.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2018

SUNDAY, 13 MAY 2018

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 (R611) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

RAMZES (F Yap) was slowly into stride and was outpaced in the early stages, and was never competitive. A post-race veterinary examination of RAMZES revealed no significant finding.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of GOOD VIBRATIONS, reported that the gelding stumbled shortly after the start.

ASHQAR (L Sofhan) raced ungenerously and was observed to carry its head awkwardly from about the 400M.

LONESOME ME (SU Lim) laid outwards under pressure from the 200M and bumped ROCK AND STONE after the line.

CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App CK Khaw) was disappointed for a run on the heels of ROCK AND STONE (App J Daniel) at about the 100M and was shifted inwards to obtain clear running.

RACE 2 (R612) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

GALLOPY SWIFT (App AK Lim) jumped inwards and bumped UNION JAC (HS Gill).

NOVA RANGER (S Ruzaini) jumped inwards and crowded JANGO (S Anandan) on the outside of VRAAD (App WK Lee) which jumped slightly outwards.

LIKA TIGER (J Low) was slow to find its stride.

METEOR GARDEN (A Aucharuz) laid outwards in the last strides and brushed with GALLOPY SWIFT (App AK Lim).

When questioned, Jockey HS Gill, the rider of UNION JAC, stated that his instructions were to obtain a forward position from his outside barrier, however, he was unable to move across towards the inside as no appropriate gap presented itself. Thereafter he was caught wide in the middle stages and UNION JAC produced little response to pressure from the 600M. Jockey HS Gill stated that in his opinion, the gelding does not race well when coming under pressure at an early stage. He added that UNION JAC displayed a tendency to lay outwards throughout the race. A post-race veterinary examination of UNION JAC revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

RACE 3 (R613) OPEN MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer BT Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to declare the removal of visor from ELITE GOLD (Y Aify) within the prescribed time.

Jockey F Yap, the rider of D’GREAT WORLD, reported that his gelding stumbled on jumping. The Stewards observed that D’GREAT WORLD sat back as the gates opened.

LINING TOGETHER (A Aucharuz) jumped awkwardly outwards and continued to hang outwards in the first few strides, causing him to bump HAPPY START (L Sofhan).

Shortly after the start, CAPTAIN CLASSIQUE (M Zairi) commenced to shift inwards despite the rider’s efforts and bumped ROYAL ACE (App L De Souza) inwards which caused DING LIK (I Saifudin) to be crowded between ROYAL ACE and D’GREAT WORLD. As a result, DING LIK lost its position and was forced to check. Thereafter DING LIK commenced to over-race and laid outwards approaching the 1000M.

At about the 1000M, HAPPY START was forced to check to avoid the heels of LINING TOGETHER and BIG BUS (J Low) was forced to ease to avoid the heels of HAPPY START. As a result of this incident, Jockey A Aucharuz was warned to show greater awareness of runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

KING ROULETTE (SS Vanan) laid outwards at about the 400M, raced wide in the straight and finished wide out. The gelding was distanced and will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

LINING TOGETHER shifted abruptly outwards at about the 100M, and had to be corrected and eased.

BIG BUS raced greenly throughout the race.

Race	Horse	Up (+) / Down (-) (in kgs)

LEE BANK laid outwards under pressure between the 300M and the 200M, and in response JUBILATION (J Low) was angled to the inside of LEE BANK to obtain clear running approaching the 200M.

Jockey S Ruzaini who rode his 151^st winner on HATTA in this race, would not be entitled to claim any allowance as from Monday, 14 May 2018.

RACE 5 (R615) METRO A – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Trainer F Maynard was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 105(2) for requesting a change of rider when one was already declared on COMMANDO ECLIPSE. He explained that Jockey Y Aify had been declared in error, and that he had intended to declare Apprentice AM Aizat. The Stewards accepted that the mistake was due to a clerical error and therefore authorized the change at 4.55pm on Tuesday, 8^th May 2018. In determining the level of the penalty the Stewards noted that this was Trainer Maynard’s second breach of this particular rule in the last three months. COMMANDO ECLIPSE was a course scratching as it had a bruised back and will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Trainer S Dunderdale was fined RM1000/- under MRA Regulation 20.3.2 as read with MRA Regulation 20.6 for failing to ensure the vaccination status of PALTROW (S Sandana) for Japanese B Encephalitis was current. PALTROW was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 1:20pm.

Acting on veterinary advice that LEMON LAW (J Low) was lame off fore, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 2:49pm. LEMON LAW will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again.

GOT LUCK (SU Lim) jumped inwards, causing SATELLITE MAN (App AK Lim) and NOBLE LIAISON (HS Gill) to be taken inwards. NOBLE LIAISON lost its early position as a result.

Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of LISTEN, reported that shortly after the jump, he received pressure from NOBLE LIAISON on his outside causing him to shift inwards and bump the hindquarters of D’BUFFALO MAN (I Saifudin) which was turned outwards as a consequence. LISTEN was then badly crowded between NOBLE LIAISON and D’BUFFALO MAN causing Jockey Z Khairil to lose his irons. Thereafter LISTEN was positioned well-back in the field before making late progress.

Approaching the 500M, D’GREAT EFFORT (HK Cheng) was eased away from the heels of AUD DOLLAR (M Ganeesh) which threatened to roll in.

At about the 500M, GOT LUCK negotiated the bend with difficulty and had to be eased to avoid the heels of D’BUFFALO MAN.

Approaching the 400M, D’BUFFALO MAN was checked to avoid the heels of TIDAL WAVE (J De Souza). LISTEN was then shifted inwards to obtain clear running on the inside of D’BUFFALO MAN.

GOT LUCK which was beaten 25 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

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

At the same time, FIREPUBLICGAME (App WK Lee) jumped inwards and bumped MULTIBLUE EAGLE (App P Mogun) twice causing that horse to be carried inwards, crowding GASSUR (S Ruzaini) and TARZAN on his inside. GASSUR was forced to check to avoid the heels of MULTIBLUE EAGLE and lost its early position as a consequence. TARZAN and D’GREAT TIMING were both placed well-back in the field as a result of this incident.

D’GREAT TIMING was forced to race wide in order to improve its position in the middle stages.

MULTIBLUE SHARK (F Yap) laid outwards under pressure between the 400M and the 200M.

App L De Souza, the rider of READY TO ROCK, reported that he took a check in mid race to avoid the heels of BEAUTIFUL BABY (SU Lim) and was thereafter positioned too far back and never able to be competitive. The Stewards observed that READY TO ROCK had come under pressure at about the 700M and had shown little response until the final 200M where he made some limited late progress. A post-race veterinary examination of READY TO ROCK revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

Approaching the 400M, GOD HELPS ME shifted slightly inwards causing CRAZY CLUB (J Low) to be eased and switched outwards in order to avoid his heels.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App KC Wong, the rider of D’GREAT BLESS, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer BT Lim, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 400M, he allowed his horse to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of WINNING TANGO (M Ganeesh), causing that horse to be taken inwards when not clear of GOD HELPS ME (A Aucharuz) which was shifted inwards and bumped MAZANDARAN (Z Khairil).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App KC Wong’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 KC Wong’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 21 May 2018 and to expire on 2 June 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:25pm).

When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of MAZANDARAN, reported that the gelding had been unable to establish himself in the lead in today’s race, due to the fast early pace. He added that MAZANDARAN received a bump at about the 300M, which put him out of the race. A post-race veterinary examination of MAZANDARAN revealed no significant finding. MAZANDARAN 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. The gelding was impounded.

In the early stages, HK DOLLAR (App AM Aizat) raced keenly in restricted room and had to be checked to avoid the heels of MISS STREISAND, and forfeited ground as a consequence.

Approaching the 1200M, RANT AND RAVE (L Sofhan) was forced to check to avoid the heels of MISS STREISAND. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed.

At about the 400M, SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY (J Low) was switched outwards to obtain clear running.

Approaching the 200M, RANT AND RAVE was shifted out to avoid the heels of ZHAN SHEN which rolled inwards.

Jockey I Fadzlei, the rider of GAZOO, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. EXCITING PROSPECT which was beaten 19 3/4 lengths and GAZOO which was distanced, will each be required to pass a 1000M/Vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 6 (R606) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 12 MAY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 13 May 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of CONDADO. Evidence was taken from Jockey F Yap and Trainer PS Kumaran, the jockey and trainer of CONDADO respectively.

Jockey F Yap stated that his instructions were to race forward but that CONDADO threw his head up on jumping, began awkwardly and laid outwards. As a consequence, the gelding was slowly away and had no opportunity to recover his position in the early stages.

Jockey F Yap added that he did not feel to make progress on the inside between the 800M and the 600M as he was concerned about being caught on the heels of MIA (App L De Souza) which rolled in briefly. Approaching the 400M, he elected to shift to the outside of MIA as he felt that this would give him the best chance of a clear run in the straight. However, the opportunity to obtain clear running did not present itself until the final 100M, whereupon CONDADO responded to pressure and finished strongly.

The Stewards warned Jockey F Yap that under similar circumstances in future, he must be seen to take sufficient measures to improve his position in the middle stages, and attempt to develop a run in the straight rather than waiting for a clear run to present itself.

They also informed Trainer PS Kumaran that he may be required in future to give the riding instructions for CONDADO in front of the Stewards’ Panel, in the event that he chooses a rider who is unfamiliar with the horse.

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

MR CONNERY (J De Souza) was disappointed for a run from approaching the 200M until the 100M. Jockey J De Souza reported that MR CONNERY persistently laid inwards under pressure and as a consequence, was caught on the heels of PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

No. 1 – VOLCANIC GENERAL (S Ruzaini)

No. 2 – MR NEVERMIND (SU Lim)

No. 3 – SHOWBOY (O Chavez)

LORD OF SHANGHAI (Y Aify) was slow to begin and slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1000M, ZIPPY GENERAL (SU Lim) and GORDON G (App L De Souza) were crowded to the inside of BLACK GHOST (App S Rosmizan) which rolled inwards. App S Rosmizan was warned that he would be expected to show greater awareness of runners on his inside in future.

D’GREAT EMINENCE (App KC Wong) compounded in the last 200M. A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT EMINENCE revealed no significant finding. D’GREAT EMINENCE which was beaten 19 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance. The mare was impounded.

Approaching the 200M, METALLOCENE (O Chavez) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

Approaching the 100M, the rider of BUKIT SUBANG (App CK Khaw) briefly dropped his reins and soon regained them.

ELITE EMPEROR (HS Gill) was slow to begin and was slightly crowded by SPARKLER (App KC Wong) in the early stages.

IMMORTALITY (S Anandan) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 300M, SEA HORIZON (App CK Khaw) was disappointed for a run on the heels of FLYING NEKO (S Ipek) which shifted outwards. SEA HORIZON was shifted inwards to obtain clear running and thereafter laid outwards under pressure.

In the final 150M, HOFFMAN persistently shifted outwards under pressure causing OUR TOUCHE (App S Rosmizan) to be taken marginally outwards in the closing stages.

In the last 100M, FLYING NEKO was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and briefly crowded on the inside of IMMORTALITY.

RACE 12 (R455) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

This race was rescheduled to start at 6:30pm.

FULL BET (S Ruzaini) jumped slightly outwards causing PROHIBITION (HS Gill) to be crowded on the outside of VAGABOND (App KC Wong).

CHAMPAGNE ROSE (App CK Khaw) rolled slightly outwards shortly after the start causing ARCHAEOLOGY (S Anandan) to be crowded on the inside of RED EASTERN (C Goon) which jumped outwards but was then corrected and shifted inwards.

The Stewards noted that Jockey HS Gill, the rider of PROHIBITION, rode out intermittently in the straight and reminded him of his responsibility under MRA Rule 44(6) to ride his horse out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards. Jockey HS Gill reported post-race that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of PROHIBITION revealed no significant finding.

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.
