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.

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

RACE 5 (R437) STAKES A – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

FORTUNIQUE (R Woodworth) stood still as the barrier opened and came out approximately 30 seconds after the remainder of the field. When questioned, Jockey R Woodworth stated that FORTUNIQUE had been distracted in the barrier by the rider of KARIGARA (App CK Khaw), which was drawn on his inside, attempting to keep his horse motivated by slapping it down the shoulder with his whip. 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.

At about the 100M, RISING GLORY again shifted outwards under pressure, bumping SHELLOMADA and becoming unbalanced as a result. Jockey HS Gill was shown the vision of this incident and warned that he would be expected to take appropriate measures to keep his horses straight in future.

SEA WORLD (App L De Souza) laid outwards under pressure in the final 100M.

Jockey M Ganeesh, the rider of ROC THAT, reported post-race that his saddle slipped backwards during running.

RACE 6 (R438) MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)

Jockey M Zairi was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight on CAPTAIN CLASSIQUE.

CAPTAIN CLASSIQUE which was very restless in the barrier and had to be reloaded, will be required to pass a 1000M/Vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

ZOLVED (App KC Wong) was slowly away, jumped sharply outwards and lost ground as a consequence.

DAHEES (O Chavez) jumped inwards and had to be corrected.

Approaching the 1000M, LINING TOGETHER (App CK Khaw) laid inwards causing DING LIK to be crowded on his inside against BIG GHOST (L Sofhan). BIG GHOST was unbalanced after being bumped by LINING TOGETHER and shifted inwards, making contact with DAYFLIRT (J Mallyon) and losing its position.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

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.

AMENDMENT

RACE 10 (R413) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 31 MARCH 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2018

Initial evidence was also taken from Jockey F Yap, the rider of KUTTNER, on 31 March 2018.

App W Faizal, the rider of TRUMPS UP, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 250M, he shifted inwards under pressure when insufficiently clear of LEE BANK (Y Aify) which was carried inwards, causing KUTTNER to be crowded on the inside of LEE BANK and SMOOTHLY (App AK Lim) to be tightened against the inside rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App W Faizal’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days with immediate effect from 3 April 2018 and to expire on 15 April 2018, both dates inclusive.

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).

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.

At about the 200M, TURQUOISE KING (S Salee) laid inwards under pressure towards the rail causing M SEVEN (App CK Khaw) which was following, to be shifted outwards for a clear passage.

HERO CHAMPION (S Ruzaini) which was beaten 29 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance. A post-race veterinary examination of HERO CHAMPION revealed no significant finding.

RACE 7 (R400)         METRO A (SW) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

SUNGAI BESI AUTOWORLD CUP 

Jockey O Chavez, the rider of BROTHER WIND, was fined RM1000/- under MRA Rule 121(7) for weighing in 1kg over his declared weight. He admitted that he had consumed liquids after weighing out.

FIRST PRECINCT (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

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.

Trainer S Edwards was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours on L’APPRENTI SORCIER (Z Khairil). 

TILSWORTH FREDDIE (S Anandan) which dislodged its rider and ran loose, was apprehended and withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 3:36pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

HIP HIP HOORAY (S Muniandy) raced wide in the middle stages.

Approaching the 200M, NOVA FALCON (S Ruzaini) commenced to lay inwards away from the whip and in doing so, caused LA FAMILIA (R Woodworth) to be briefly eased at about the 150M.

Between the 200M and the 100M, SPLENDOR (O Chavez) had to shift outwards to obtain clear passage on the outside of NOVA FALCON.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey R Woodworth, the rider of LA FAMILIA, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 800M, he crossed LIM’S CASINO (HS Gill) when not sufficiently clear causing LIM’S CASINO to be checked.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey R Woodworth’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) Malaysia and Singapore race days, with effect from 1 April 2019 and to expire on 6 April 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:45pm).

TUNKU GOLD CUP

Trainer BT Lim was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for presenting DIRECTOR (HS Gill) to race without winkers as declared.

GARIZA (Y Aify) reared as the gates opened and forfeited significant ground then, when eventually consenting to leave the barrier, bounded for several strides. GARIZA, which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor barrier manners and poor performance.

AUD DOLLAR (M Ganeesh) reared as the gates opened.

VOLCANIC GENERAL (S Ruzaini) jumped outwards.

Approaching the 900M, CAPTAIN JAZZ (J Low) was restrained when crossed by GRAND CROSS (S Anandan). Jockey S Anandan was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must respect the 2-length standard when crossing in front of other runners.

METIER STAR (App L De Souza) was eased to avoid the heels of CAPTAIN JAZZ (J Low) approaching the 800M.

Between the 400M, and the 350M, MR NEVERMIND (App CC Wong) was disappointed for a run on the heels of KERAUNO (R Woodworth).

At about the 900M, DIAMOND SET (J De Souza) laid inwards, causing the rider to ease to avoid the heels of RUNNING FLAME (J Low). As a consequence, SUPER EASY EMPIRE (App CK Khaw) which was following, and NOVA PHOENIX (S Ruzaini) which was following SUPER EASY EMPIRE were also eased. SUPER EASY EMPIRE lost its position in this incident and became awkwardly placed on the heels of MAGIC ECLIPSE (O Chavez), forcing the rider to check at about the 800M.

CHAMPION FACE (KC Wong) was unruly at the start position when being led in hand, causing the tack to be dislodged. The gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 5:38pm, whereupon it escaped its handler and ran loose for several minutes.

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. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall, to be ridden unaided to the start) test before being declared to race again.

LIM’S 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.

Approaching the 500M, WINNING TANGO (M Ganeesh) laid out and was awkward around the bend causing him to bump RAINBOW FISH (App CK Khaw). Thereafter WINNING TANGO was unbalanced and lost his position as a consequence. WINNING TANGO continued to lay outwards under pressure in the straight and at about the 250M, CHIPS (App KC Wong) was forced to shift outwards to obtain clear running and to avoid the heels of WINNING TANGO.

At about the 200M, CHIPS shifted inwards briefly, bumping WINNING TANGO.

App L De Souza, the rider of RAJA MAHESA, appeared to ease in the last 3 strides. RAJA MAHESA was beaten by a head for fourth placing. An inquiry into this incident will be held on a date to be fixed. A post-race veterinary examination of RAJA MAHESA revealed no significant finding.

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.

FRIDAY, 9 MARCH 2018, SLTC STABLE INSPECTION

During a routine stable inspection on 9th March 2018, Trainer L Moy’s monthly stable return, which had been submitted on 8th March 2018, was found to contain multiple errors. The Stewards warned Trainer L Moy that henceforth they would be making regular checks to ensure that he complies with his responsibilities in this regard under MRA Rules 33(6) and 33(7).

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 2nd 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 2nd 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 8th 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.

The Selangor Turf Club Racing Stewards heard the above appeal on 7 March 2018.

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 800M, CONFOUND (App L De Souza) rolled in briefly causing BIRRALEE ROAD (Z Khairil) to ease to avoid his heels, and CHARLIES MISSILE (App AK Lim) to take a precautionary check in response, losing 2 lengths. After reviewing the film of the incident and after taking evidence from App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, Jockey Z Khairil and App AK Lim, the Stewards warned App L De Souza that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

RACE 5 (R261)         METRO A – 2000M (SHORT COURSE A)

SEA WORLD (App L De Souza) over-raced between the 1600M and the 1400M.

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.

CHIPS was urged to recover from his slow start but soon ran onto the heels of THE MILLIONAIRE (S Anandan) and had to be shifted outwards.

SEGAR THE BEST (HS Gill) raced wide from the 900M in order to obtain a forward position.

Jockey TK Barnabas, the rider of HIGH TROJA, dropped his right rein approaching the 300M and although he regained it shortly afterwards, was unbalanced until just before the 200M. As Jockey TK Barnabas attempted to rebalance, HIGH TROJA shifted outwards, causing THE MILLIONAIRE to be crowded between himself and D’GREAT VULTURE (App KC Wong).

At about the 200M, FRANKLY MY DEAR (Y Aify) began to compound and in doing so, shifted inwards causing ARECIBO (App L De Souza) and ASPEN (SU Lim) to be taken inwards in response. Thereafter ASPEN was corrected and shifted outwards which caused ARECIBO to be shifted marginally outwards. 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 8 (R264)          CLASS 4 – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)

                                    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 the 1300M, BROWCOW (HK Cheng) commenced to over-race and shift outwards whereupon it continued to over-race without cover until the 1000M.

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.

PHANTASOS (M Zairi) jumped outwards, carrying SILVER MAN (S Anandan) and SHARP BLADE (S Ruzaini) outwards in response.

RED EMPRESS (App P Haris) was slow to begin.

In the early stages, SHARP BLADE (S Ruzaini) was bumped by MUSANG KING (S Sandana) which was carried inwards by FIREPUBLICGAME (R Woodworth). Jockey R Woodworth was shown the vision of the incident and warned by the Stewards to take more care when shifting inwards shortly after the start.

From the 250M, SHARP BLADE commenced to lay outwards under pressure and finished wide out.

At about the 200M, SUPER BUFFALO (I Saifudin) shifted inwards under pressure, causing TARZAN (App S Uzair) to be shifted inwards in response.

SILVER MAN which was beaten 26 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 11 (R267)       CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

FULL MEANING (Lou Ho) jumped awkwardly outwards and threw its head up. Shortly after the start, FULL MEANING commenced to over-race.

SPEED CRAFT (S Anandan) was very slow to begin.

TAKEAIM (App P Haris) was slow to begin.

At about the 1200M, ONCE A THIEF (I Saifudin) commenced to over-race in response to FULL MEANING over-racing on his outside. These two horses brushed together at about the 1100M and thereafter ONCE A THIEF became unbalanced and raced ungenerously until the 900M.

At about the 100M, TAIL SPIN (J Mallyon) was eased to avoid the heels of NOVA SPIRIT (App AM Aizat) which rolled in.

SPEED CRAFT 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.

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.

Having heard his evidence, the Stewards took no further action.

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), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

Jockey HS Gill (LIM’S RANGER) 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 against the penalty of the suspension of two (2) Malaysian race days will be held at a date to be fixed.

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

Trainer C Leck was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 35(1) for failing to ensure that the surcingle on STAR INVINCIBLE (App N Varmah) was in suitable condition. STAR INVINCIBLE was eased to the outside in an attempt to pull up at about the 800M after the saddle slipped.

Trainer C Leck was also fined RM500/- under MRA Regulation 1.13(d) as he failed to meet his obligation under MRA Regulation 1.13(d) in that having engaged an Apprentice to ride STAR INVINCIBLE, he was the person responsible for ensuring that the Apprentice’s equipment was not defective.

RACE 7 (R253) METRO A – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SATURDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2018

Trainer F Maynard was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 105(2) for requesting for a change of rider when one was already declared on ROYAL EXPLORER. He explained that Jockey J Mallyon had been declared in error. The change was authorized by the Stewards at 11:30am on Wednesday, 21 February 2018.

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.

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).

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.

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:

  1. 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;
  2. 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;
  3. 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).

WISHES COME TRUE STAKES

MR EPIC (App KC Wong) was slow to find its stride.

BOOSTER (J De Souza) jumped inwards and despite the rider’s efforts, bumped LIM’S CHARGE (HS Gill), causing LIM’S CHARGE to be taken inwards, unbalanced and be slow into its stride.

JANGO (J Mallyon) over-raced in the early stages and shifted inwards approaching the 900M causing DRAGON WALK (App L De Souza) to be taken inwards onto FULL MEANING (Lou Ho) which in turn was shifted slightly inwards and crowded SEA HORIZON.

Between the 800M and the 600M, MR EPIC was taken to the wide outside in order to make progress.

HERECOMESMYMONEY (SU Lim) was outpaced throughout the race.

At about the 250M RISING STAR (App S Saddam) shifted in away from the whip and was thereafter switched wide out in order to obtain clear running.

RACE 3 (R220) CLASS 4 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

GREAT TREASURES STAKES

GOOD DEAL (M Ganeesh) was slow to find its stride.

At about the 900M, SHELLOMADA (HS Gill) threw its head up in response and was slightly crowded by LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (Z Khairil).

At about the 800M, GOOD DEAL was shifted abruptly outwards to avoid the heels of MAGICAL TALENT (J De Souza) which slowed.

RUN IT TWICE (S Ruzaini) commenced to lay out from the 500M and raced wide out between the 500M and the 100M. When questioned, Jockey S Ruzaini stated that RUN IT TWICE had over-raced and got onto the wrong lead leg when he asked for his effort approaching the 500M. A post-race veterinary examination of RUN IT TWICE revealed no significant finding.

From the 200M, REAL MEAN (App CK Khaw) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running.

At about the 50M, SHELLOMADA shifted out under pressure causing BULLISH LUCK (App W Faizal) to shy away. 

In the last strides, GOOD DEAL was switched out to obtain clear running when finishing strongly.

RACE 4 (R221) CLASS 5 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

PROSPEROUS BUSINESS STAKES

Jockey M Ganeesh was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight on IT’S DONE MATE.

VERGLATICA (HS Gill) was slowly away.

At about the 1100M, KING OF THE CREEK (App L De Souza) was restrained to take a mid-to-back position behind MARIO ATTILA (App S Uzair) and threw its head up in response.

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). The Stewards reprimanded Jockey S Anandan, the rider of SPEED CRAFT, as a result of this incident for attempting to push through an insufficient gap. He was warned to ride with more care and patience under similar circumstances in future. Jockey S Anandan was fined RM500/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at about the 250M.

At about the 300M, MARIO ATTILA (App S Uzair) commenced to shift out under pressure and shift further out when App S Uzair transferred his whip to his left hand causing NUMERO UNO (Z Khairil) to be taken wide at about the 150M. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into this incident to a date to be fixed. Shortly afterwards, App S Uzair dropped his whip. 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.

RACE 5 (R222) MAIDEN – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

GOLDEN FORTUNE STAKES

This race was rescheduled to start at 3pm at the request of Singapore Turf Club.

ONCE A THIEF (App W Faizal) unseated its rider shortly after the starting gate opened. After reviewing the vision of the start, the Stewards were satisfied that App W Faizal was mounted on ONCE A THIEF when the start was effected and therefore declared ONCE A THIEF a runner.

ORION (App AK Lim) jumped inwards and bumped ELEGANT DANCER (App AM Aizat).

NOVA GENERAL (App KC Wong) jumped sharply inwards and bumped ORION and when corrected, shifted abruptly outwards.

Between the 1200M and the 1000M, NOVA DASHING (App P Haris) over-raced and lost its position when checked to avoid the heels of RED EMPRESS (HS Gill).

At about the 550M, SHAHPUR JAT (App S Saddam) laid outwards and was awkward negotiating the final bend.

NOVA GENERAL and NOVA DASHING which were beaten 22 1/2 and 24 1/4 lengths respectively, will each be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performances.

RACE 6 (R223) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LOTS OF WEALTH STAKES

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:30pm.

Acting on veterinary advice that DIRAC (Lou Ho) was lame near fore, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 3:32pm. DIRAC will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

EXCITING PROSPECT (HS Gill) stood still as the gates opened and forfeited several lengths.

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

MUSANG KING (App AM Aizat) jumped outwards and NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) jumped inwards causing GOLD POWER (App KC Wong) to be crowded between them.

At about the 1300M, SHARON’S STAR (M Ganeesh) rolled inwards and caused NATION THEATRE (SU Lim), GOLD POWER and MUSANG KING to be crowded briefly on his inside.

Approaching the 250M, MUSANG KING shifted out under pressure and was thereafter shifted inside to obtain a clear passage.

At about the 200M, AUSSIE EAGLE (App AK Lim) was momentarily crowded between FRASER (Y Aify) and NATION THEATRE.

Approaching the 300M, KUTTNER began to make progress but displayed a tendency to lay inwards under pressure and was disappointed for a run on the heels of LION CONQUEROR (SU Lim) at about the 100M. KUTTNER was then switched outwards to obtain a clear run but was unable to do so before the finish. 

At about the 100M, LION CONQUEROR was disappointed for a run on the heels of D’GREAT SPIRIT (HK Cheng).

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. Jockey J Mallyon reported after the race that, from the 800M, the horse showed limited response to the bit, raced ungenerously and laid out. VICTORY CAT which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

BEST OF LUCK STAKES

TAIL SPIN (J Mallyon) knuckled leaving the stalls and was slowly away as a consequence.

GOLDEN DRAGON (Lou Ho) was slow to find its stride. At about the 350M, GOLDEN DRAGON switched inwards to obtain a clear passage.

GHOST AFFAIR (App P Haris) raced in a mid-to-back position, was shifted wide to challenge in the straight and finished wide out. A post-race veterinary examination of GHOST AFFAIR revealed no significant finding.  The Stewards will open an inquiry into the running and handling of GHOST AFFAIR at a date to be fixed.

RACE 3 (R210) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

LUCKY STAR STAKES

FAST RICH (S Sandana) was slowly away.

At about the 900M, ORIENTAL SPIRIT was taken wide in order to make progress and was thereafter trapped wide on the track. ORIENTAL SPIRIT compounded badly in the last 300M.

DROUGHT (Z Khairil) raced in rear before making late progress. When questioned, Jockey Z Khairil reported to the Stewards that DROUGHT had been outpaced when the tempo of the race increased at about the 800M and had then finished strongly, passing beaten rivals. He added that DROUGHT is better suited by a longer distance and showed a tendency to lay in under pressure. A post-race veterinary examination of DROUGHT revealed no significant finding.

From the 200M, ECLIPSE DANCER (S Ruzaini) commenced to shift out under pressure.

KING OPERA (S Ruzaini) and ASHQAR (O Chavez) bumped on jumping. Shortly afterwards, WHAT (App W Faizal) rolled inwards despite the rider’s efforts, causing KING OPERA to be awkwardly placed on its heels. As a consequence, KING OPERA was eased and lost its early position.

At about the 300M, ROGER (Z Khairil) laid out causing HAPPY DAYZ (App KC Wong) to be eased in order to avoid his heels and then to be switched inwards to obtain clear running. ROGER thereafter continued to carry his head to the right side. The Stewards reviewed the incident and determined that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

In the last 200M, BULL SPUR laid out under pressure and finished wide.

PEACE & HAPPINESS STAKES

LUCKY SIXTYSIX (S Sandana) kicked out in the barrier, got his hind leg over the back gate and became cast. The Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 5:13pm. LUCKY SIXTYSIX will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

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

At about the 1000M, SUPER DRAGON (App P Mogun) was eased off the heels of DELTA WING (App KC Wong) as a precaution.

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.

LIM’S RANGER (HS Gill) was switched outwards to obtain clear running at about the 200M but was unable to do so, and had to be slightly eased at about the 75M to avoid the heels of EAGLESHAM (Lou Ho).

LION CITY GOLD (App S Saddam) was slow to begin.

SWINGLOWSWEETJACKY (HS Gill) jumped slowly and as a result, was forced to check off the heels of ARIEL (Lou Ho) and ARECIBO (App L De Souza), losing ground in the process.

FEISTY LEO (App CK Khaw) was outpaced between the 800M and the 400M.

At about the 450M, App P Haris, the rider of MEIZU, was observed to be looking over his left shoulder and directly afterwards, steered a wide course into the straight. MEIZU finished wide as a result. The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into the running and handling of MEIZU to a date to be fixed.

LION CITY GOLD laid inwards approaching the 300M and laid in again at about the 200M.

PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat) wandered under pressure in the last 250M. Approaching the 100M, PERFECT PEARL shifted out, taking LION CITY GOLD out in response.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of TOTALITY, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 200M, he aimed his horse towards an insufficient gap between PERFECT PEARL (App AM Aizat) and JUBILATION (S Ruzaini) and even after the gap had widened, he failed to allow sufficient room for JUBILATION which was tightened next to the rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s 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 29 January 2018 and to expire on 11 February 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (1:40pm).

Trainer PS Kumaran was warned for failing to ensure that the deworming status of MONTE CARLO (F Yap) was updated.

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

The bit on ZHAN SHEN (R Woodworth) was observed to be incorrectly fitted at the start and therefore had to be removed and refitted. The Stewards warned Trainer KP Hoy that a repetition of similar circumstances in future may lead to a penalty being imposed.

RED EASTERN (App P Haris) stood still as the gates opened and refused to move despite urging, forfeiting many lengths. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

NOVA POWER (S Ruzaini) over-raced without cover and raced wide in the first 400M of the race.

DIRAC (Lou Ho) over-raced between the 1200M and the 1000M.

From the 300M, D’GREAT NIMBUS (J De Souza) laid in persistently and at about the 150M, bumped DIRAC causing DIRAC to be carried inwards when not clear of VERGLATICA (M Zairi) which was taken to the left and made contact with SUNTZU (Z Khairil).

Just after the 200M, RED EASTERN shifted out abruptly, making slight contact with MONTE CARLO.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of D’GREAT NIMBUS, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to drift inwards when insufficiently clear of DIRAC, causing DIRAC to be carried inwards when not clear of VERGLATICA which was forced to ease, making contact with SUNTZU which was tightened against the rail.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey J De Souza’s 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 February 2018 and to expire on 24 February 2018, both dates inclusive, to be served consecutively to his current suspension which will expire on 11 February 2018.

This race was rescheduled to start at 5:35pm due to rain delay.

ELF’S DREAM (J Mallyon) reared on jumping and gave away several lengths.

At about the 1350M, EASTERN TOWKAY (App KC Wong) shifted in and brushed SKYHAWK (R Shafiq) which commenced to over-race in response.

At about the 1100M, SKYHAWK raced fiercely, shifted to the outside and threw his head up.

GOLD POWER (F Yap) was taken wide to make progress between 800M and 600M.

At about the 150M, BAHAR (Z Khairil) commenced to shift in under pressure and at about the 100M, READY TO ROCK (J De Souza) began to shift out under pressure causing the pair to bump once at about the 50M.

The Stewards continued an inquiry into the running and handling of WINNING TANGO which was soon detached in last place and raced wide throughout.

Jockey M Ganeesh stated that WINNING TANGO jumped well but thereafter was laying out and showed little response when he attempted to steer the gelding inwards to join the rest of the field.

Trainer SB Tan stated that this was WINNING TANGO’s first run for him after transferring from Singapore and he was unsure what he expected from the gelding in this race. He further added that he would consider using a different bit on WINNING TANGO in future.

The Stewards noted these explanations and warned Jockey M Ganeesh that in future, when instructed to take a midfield or forward position, he should be seen to take positive steps to comply with his riding instructions.

The State of Track was downgraded to “Yielding” after the running of this race.

JUBILATION (M Zairi) and HOLDING FAST (J De Souza) were both slow to begin.

WINNING TANGO (M Ganeesh) raced wide out until the 1000M whereupon he moved closer to the rest of the field while remaining wide and in last placing. When questioned, Jockey M Ganeesh reported that WINNING TANGO had raced with little enthusiasm today and was laying out throughout the race. He further stated reported that WINNING TANGO was unsuited by the going which was downgraded to “Yielding” after this race. The Stewards informed Jockey M Ganeesh that an inquiry into the running and handling of WINNING TANGO will held at a date to be fixed. A post-race veterinary examination of WINNING TANGO revealed no significant finding. The gelding which was distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

BATTLE HORSE (S Salee) laid out under pressure between the 400M to the 200M.

MOZART ECLIPSE (Y Aify) laid inwards under pressure in the last 200M.

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

Jockeys SU Lim and S Anandan, the riders of D’GREAT RICH and SAND BANK respectively, reported that their horses did not handle the going. Post-race veterinary examinations of D’GREAT RICH and SAND BANK revealed no significant finding.

RACE 3 (R088) MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

MYSTICAL STAR (F Yap) was slow to begin.

LINING TOGETHER (J De Souza) which was over-racing, shifted out in the early stages and bumped MYSTICAL STAR.

SHARP BLADE (S Ruzaini) over-raced from the start to the 800M and was briefly disappointed for a run at about the 500M.

In the concluding stages, POKEMON BABY (App AK Lim) laid inwards and BULL SPUR (App P Haris) laid outwards causing these horses to bump.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of LINING TOGETHER, reported that his horse raced greenly. Jockey J De Souza was declared to carry 54kgs on LINING TOGETHER, weighed out at 54.2kgs and returned at 55.5kgs in a race where other riders generally returned 0.2kg or 03kg heavier due to the wet track conditions.

The Stewards enquired into this discrepancy. Jockey J De Souza, when questioned, reported that LINING TOGETHER had raced in rear throughout and therefore had received a significant amount of kick back, causing his clothing to be saturated.

As the record of returning weights for unplaced Jockeys in Race 3 was found to be incomplete, the Stewards could not be satisfied that no other riders in Race 3 had returned similarly overweight. They therefore noted Jockey J De Souza’s explanation and took no further action.

Jockey F Yap and App CK Khaw, the riders of MYSTICAL STAR and D’GREAT ELEGANCE respectively, reported that their horses did not handle the going.

RACE 4 (R089) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

MAREA NEGRO (S Ruzaini) fly-jumped as the stalls opened and shifted inwards, bumping JET COSMO (App S Uzair). Both horses were slowly away as a result. Jockey S Ruzaini reported that he lost the use of his left side stirrup iron briefly as a result of this incident and soon recovered it.

At about the 500M, JANGO (J Mallyon) was forced to check to avoid the heels of BOOSTER (J De Souza).

ABSOLUTE MAVERICK (App P Haris) was observed to be over-racing in the early stages and laid out between the 500M and the 400M, therefore found it difficult to negotiate the bend. At this point, MAREA NEGRO was carried wide by ABSOLUTE MAVERICK. ABSOLUTE MAVERICK continued to lay out in the straight under pressure.

JET COSMO was awkward on the home bend between the 450M to the 400M.

A post-race veterinary examination of ABSOLUTE MAVERICK revealed that the gelding returned bled, and will be barred from racing for a period of six (6) months under MRA Rule 92(5) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

App AK Lim, the rider of BEIJING STAR, reported that his horse did not handle the going.

RACE 5 (R090) METRO A – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

WILAYAH SILVER BOWL

FLASH GIFT (M Zairi) jumped outwards and LUCKY DAPPER (S Sandana) jumped inwards causing SHOWBOY (Z Khairil) to be tightened between them.

METIER STAR (J De Souza) was slow to find its stride.

BLACK AND WHITE (App S Saddam) was slow to begin and had to be urged to obtain a midfield position and was forced to race wide as a consequence.

At about the 500M, CAPTAIN JAZZ (S Ruzaini) shifted out, taking BIG ROLE (Y Aify) out as a consequence. SHOWBOY and METIER STAR were also observed to be unbalanced at this stage of the race.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of METIER STAR, reported that his horse did not handle the going.

After this race, a deputation of senior riders asked for permission to speak to the Stipendiary Stewards to express their concerns regarding the safety of the track and in particular the area between the 600M and the 400M.

The Jockeys present were Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of SHOWBOY, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of CAPTAIN JAZZ, and Jockey Y Aify, the rider of BIG ROLE. Acting on their recommendations, in order to promote a maximum level of safety for horses and riders, the Racing Stewards used their powers under MRA Rule 12(2)(s) to transfer the remaining races set to be run on the Short Course to the Long Course, therefore avoiding the area in question.

The Veterinary Surgeon reported that the record of markings in the passport of JEFFREY (Lou Ho) was found to be incomplete. However, having received a further report from the Veterinary Surgeon that the gelding was able to be positively identified, JEFFREY was allowed to run in the race. The Stewards informed Trainer LN Danis that an inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.

This race was rescheduled to start at 3:40pm and was run on the Long Course instead of the Short Course as advertised, due to concerns regarding the track safety between the 600M and the 400M on the short course.

NICKEL ECLIPSE (J Mallyon) and GARRYURRA PRINCESS (A Nawawi) were both slow to begin. NICKEL ECLIPSE raced greenly throughout.

GHOST SPIRIT (App P Haris) was fractious in the barrier and raced very greenly throughout.

PENDRAGON PRINCESS (App WK Lee) jumped inwards causing GARRYURRA PRINCESS to be taken inwards and lose ground.

At about the 900M, ELEGANT DANCER (SS Vanan) was green and laid out causing JEFFREY to be forced wide. In the concluding stages, ELEGANT DANCER again laid out under pressure causing PENDRAGON PRINCESS to lay out in response.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SPECIAL LUCK, reported that his horse was making respiratory noises. A post-race veterinary examination of SPECIAL LUCK revealed that the colt returned broken-winded (grade 3) and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

SILVER VICTOR (HS Gill) was fractious behind the barriers and was difficult to be loaded. Trainer BT Lim was warned that SILVER VICTOR must improve its barrier manners, failing which action may be taken against the gelding.

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

Approaching the 1000M, SILVER VICTOR laid out causing THE MILLIONAIRE (S Anandan) to be taken out and to be shuffled back to the field.

At about the 1000M, CELERITAS (S Sandana) was briefly tightened for room between BADCOE (S Ruzaini) and SILVER VICTOR and lost its position as a consequence.

FAT POWER (S Salee) and HAWAIIAN KING (App S Uzair) both raced wide throughout.

At about the 400M, TAFFETAS was disappointed for a run and was forced to switch inwards to obtain clear running.

Jockey S Sandana, the rider of CELERITAS, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of CELERITAS revealed no significant finding.

RACE 5 (R080) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C), SATURDAY, 20 JANUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2018

The Stewards, on 21 January 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of PLATOON which raced wide throughout and compounded badly in the straight. Evidence was taken from Trainer R Lines and Jockey F Yap, the Trainer and rider of PLATOON respectively.

Trainer R Lines stated that he had instructed Jockey F Yap to race in a midfield position but had told him to use his own initiative based on the circumstances of the race.

Jockey F Yap informed the Stewards that at about the 1000M, he attempted to place PLATOON just behind the leaders but the gelding began to over-race at this stage in response to TILSWORTH MALI (J De Souza) over-racing on his inside, he therefore found himself in a disadvantageous wide position around the bend and forfeited ground which caused PLATOON to finish his race weakly.

Trainer R Lines further added that PLATOON may have been rather fresh due to an interrupted preparation for this race. The Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE 1 (R1547) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 16 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 20 January 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, called Jockey HK Cheng and showed him the film of his ride D’GREAT ELEGANCE on 16 December 2017. They noted that D’GREAT ELEGANCE had repeatedly shifted in from approaching the 250M (as noted in the Stewards’ Report of 16 December 2017) in response to the whip, and questioned Jockey HK Cheng as to why, in such circumstances, he had not attempted to switch the whip to his left hand. Jockey HK Cheng responded that he felt himself to be less effective at using his whip in the left hand.

The Stewards informed him that they considered this aspect of his riding to fall below the expected standard and warned him to improve in this regard in future.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2018

SATURDAY, 20 JANUARY 2018

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

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

RACE 1 (R076) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

Before the race, Trainer S Hamilton informed the Stewards that in view of HOW HUGE’s wide draw, she had instructed her rider, App S Rosmizan, to position the gelding well-back in the field today.

WILL BE BETTER (App AK Lim) jumped left causing ROCK AND STONE (S Sandana) to be taken left and brush HOW HUGE (App S Rosmizan).

At about the 1100M, JET ACE (I Saifudin) was over-racing and threw its head up.

MILITARY STAR (Y Narredu) which was beaten 24 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck, the Trainer of HERECOMESMYMONEY (S Ruzaini), regarding the mare’s improved performance today as compared to her last start where she finished 8th over the same course of distance.

Trainer C Leck stated that HERECOMESMYMONEY had improved during the 6-week break between her last start and today’s race, and that she had been assisted by the application of Blinkers today. He further added that the mare had performed well in a Barrier Trial 2 weeks previously.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Sandana, the rider of ROCK AND STONE, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 800M, he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of MILITARY STAR (Y Narredu) resulting in that horse having to be checked to avoid ROCK AND STONE’s heels.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Sandana’s 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 29 January 2018 and to expire on 10 February 2018, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2pm).

Jockey R Shafiq, the rider of CRESCENDO, was fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 107(10) for failing to make the carded weight. The Stewards granted permission for CRESCENDO to be ridden by Jockey Y Narredu.

NOVA DASHING (HK Cheng) was slow to begin.

RAINBOW STAR (App AK Lim) was slow to find its stride and laid inwards in the first 100M.

MUSANG KING (M Ganeesh) raced greenly in the early stages, raced wide from the 1000M and finished 25 1/2 lengths behind the winner. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

Approaching the 600M, NOVA DASHING had to be checked off the heels of D’GREAT ARES (SU Lim) which slowed abruptly and, in doing so, NOVA DASHING shifted in causing ZION SPLENDOUR (S Ruzaini) to be checked in its stride and to lose ground. The Stewards held an inquiry, and determined this as a racing incident and therefore no particular rider was to be blamed.

TEDDY BEAR (H Bukhari) and CHIPS (S Ruzaini) were both slow to begin.

CHIPS (S Ruzaini) blundered at about the 500M. Jockey S Ruzaini reported that the gelding had lost his footing.

PLATOON (F Yap) raced wide throughout in order to obtain a forward position and remained wide until the 400M. The Stewards questioned Trainer R Lines as to why the horse had been ridden forward when he had indicated in the Trainer’s Instruction Form that Jockey F Yap was to take a midfield position. Having heard his explanation, the Stewards adjourned the inquiry into the running and handling of PLATOON at a date to be fixed.

At about the 200M, PERFECT RUN (App CK Khaw) laid out causing LINCOLN’S EXCUSE (Z Khairil) to be awkwardly placed on the heels of PLATOON which was weakening and losing ground. In response, LINCOLN’S EXCUSE was switched sharply out and finished wide out.

CONDADO (S Ruzaini) was slow to begin.

On jumping, EL CONDOR (Lou Ho) raced fiercely and attempted to lay in causing him to brush on several occasions with SATURDAY’S DELIGHT (App WK Lee) at about the 1150M. Subsequently EL CONDOR continued to lay in, carrying SEGAR THE BEST (R Shafiq) to the inside which caused GAZOO (Y Narredu) to be briefly tightened for room against the rail.

At about the 900M, GAZOO eased to avoid the heels of SEGAR THE BEST causing CONDADO directly behind him, to take a check in response.

Shortly after the 600M, TRIPLE ONE STAR (J De Souza) became unbalanced and rolled LIM’S ACTION (HS Gill) wide in response.

At about the 500M, SATURDAY’S DELIGHT rolled in briefly causing PORSENCE (F Yap) to take a check. SEGAR THE BEST which was directly behind PORSENCE on the rail, was forced to check in response, as was GAZOO which was directly behind SEGAR THE BEST. As a result of this incident, CONDADO was awkwardly placed on the heels of GAZOO and PLATINUM TYCOON (SU Lim) and was forced to check sharply and became unbalanced.

In the last few strides, PORSENCE switched out away from the heels of the winner, D’GREAT SPIRIT (HK Cheng).

Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of BLOOD ROYAL, reported that his horse did not handle the yielding going.

Jockey Y Narredu, the rider of REYSHA, reported that he was instructed to ride REYSHA from midfield but due to horses on his outside jumping more alertly, he was unable to obtain a midfield position.

The Stewards questioned Trainer L Moy, the Trainer of the winner, MR WOLFF (I Saifudin) into the gelding’s improved performance today. Trainer L Moy reported that when he noticed that the track seemed to be biased towards the front runners today, he instructed his jockey to make the running and to stay close to the inside rail in the straight. He stated that this change of tactics had the desired effect.

RACE 7 (R1562) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 17 DECEMBER 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on 2nd January 2018 at the Selangor Turf Club, enquired into the running and handling of PURPLE RAIN LADY (S Sandana) which raced well back in the field before making significant progress in the last 300M to finish sixth. They interviewed Jockey S Sandana and Trainer KF Wong, the rider and trainer of PURPLE RAIN LADY respectively.

Trainer KF Wong stated that he expected PURPLE RAIN LADY to be well suited by the 1400M distance of the race. However, this was the first time she had raced on a “Good” surface and all her previous form had been on “Yielding” or “Soft” going. She was also racing in a higher grade than her previous start, which she won. He explained that the step up in class and the firmer track had exposed the filly’s lack of pace.

Jockey S Sandana stated that PURPLE RAIN LADY had never been able to match the speed of the rest of the field until her rivals started to slow in the last 300M. He felt that although the filly had appeared to finish the race off strongly, it was in fact the case that she had maintained her own pace and passed tiring horses. When questioned on his intermittent use of the whip, he argued that PURPLE RAIN LADY responded well to hands and heels riding. However, he admitted that the filly had surprised him with her late rally on this occasion, the first time he had ridden her in a race.

Having heard their evidence, the Stewards warned Jockey S Sandana that in future he should ride all his mounts in a manner that leaves no room for query. With regard to Trainer KF Wong’s opinion on the unsuitability of the “Good” track for PURPLE RAIN LADY, the Stewards reminded him of his obligations under MRA Rule 35(7) to report any matter which may have affected the performance of his horses in a race.

TUESDAY, 9 JANUARY 2018, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL
