RACE 1 (R578) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza) which cast its off fore plate behind the barriers, had to be replated, was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to take its place in the field.
At the request of Jockey S Anandan, the saddle on VALBERRY was readjusted behind the barriers as the saddle had moved forward. VALBERRY then broke through the front gates on 2 occasions and was apprehended quickly. VALBERRY was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to take its place in the field and reboxed. The mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again. The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported after the race that VALBERRY returned with a cut on its left nostril. The mare will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
DRAGON WALK (App T Krisna) reared as the gated opened and as a result, began awkwardly.
VALBERRY jumped awkwardly and was slow to begin.
SPARKLER (App SU Lim) jumped outwards and inconvenienced ARLO (S Ruzaini) onto MY TOUCH (J Shankar) and as a result ARLO had to be checked by its rider.
ZAC GALLANT (S Sandana) jumped awkwardly.
DUBLEO BEAUTY (M Ganeesh), ZAC GALLANT and DRAGON WALK were all caught racing wide throughout the event.
The Stewards questioned Jockey SS Vanan and Trainer R Lines into the disappointing performance of the last start winner, CHAMPAGNE ROSE. Jockey SS Vanan stated that in his opinion, CHAMPAGNE ROSE was too long in the stalls and he placed the mare under pressure in the early stages to gain a midfield position but it failed to respond to his

riding at all stages throughout the event, however in the concluding stages, the mare ran home well.
Trainer R Lines explained that in the mare’s previous race starts, it was loaded last and the mare has shown early gate speed on previous occasions. He further stated that he was disappointed with the performance.
The Stewards, after viewing the official patrol films of this event and considering the evidence tendered, gave Jockey SS Vanan a “benefit of the doubt” on this occasion, however, sternly reminded him of his obligations under similar circumstances in future. A post-race veterinary examination of CHAMPAGNE ROSE revealed no significant finding.

After viewing the official patrol films of this event and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards acting on their own observations, Jockey M Ganeesh was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that he failed to show sufficient vigour to the satisfaction of the Stewards in the home straight in an endeavour to give his horse the best possible chance of gaining the best possible placing.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey M Ganeesh’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 Jockey M
