The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the tactics that were adopted on PICASSO and further evidence was taken from Jockey M Ganeesh and Trainer Anna Scott.

AMENDMENT

RACE 2 (R275) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2017

The Stewards questioned App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, into the tactics that were adopted on PERFECT RUN in the home straight in particular why App L De Souza failed to show any vigour in his riding style over the final 300M.

After viewing the official patrol films of this event and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards acting on their own observations, App L De Souza 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 he failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards from approximately the 300M to the winning post with sufficient vigour to gain the best possible placing.

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. The Stewards, in not issuing a more severe penalty, also took into consideration that he has a limited race riding experience. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App L De Souza’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 5 March 2017 and to expire on 4 April 2017, both dates inclusive. He was also advised that he must complete a series of trials to the satisfaction of the Stewards prior to riding in races again. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (2:40pm).

YOU NEVER KNOW (App A Zaimuddin) and ROCK AND STONE (S Sandana) both jumped awkwardly.

BAIL OUT (HK Cheng) was caught racing wide from a wide barrier.

BAIL OUT which was beaten 30 1/4 lengths and ROCK AND STONE which was distanced, will each 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, Jockey Lou Ho, the rider of I’M KOOL, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of THUNDER KING (App T Krisna) which was placed in restricted racing room to the outside of YOU NEVER KNOW. As a result of this incident, THUNDER KING clipped the heels of I’M KOOL, blundered and lost its position.

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 2
SLTC, Saturday, 25 March 2017

Approaching the 500M, LIM’S RANGER seemed to dip on a number of occasions resulting in the rider becoming unbalanced.

Approaching the 150M, D’GREAT VICTORY (App WK Lee) had a tendency to lay outwards under pressure resulting in ACME having to shift inwards to gain clear running and avoid that gelding’s heels.

The Stewards questioned Trainer A Scott and Jockey S Ruzaini into the disappointing performance of the favourite, CLAIM. Jockey S Ruzaini stated that from the wide Barrier 10 and jumping well to gain a midfield trailing position, he placed the gelding under pressure to improve his position at the 800M but it failed to respond to his riding. He further stated that he believed today’s 58 ½ kgs and the “yielding” going may have contributed to the disappointing performance. Trainer A Scott was of the opinion that weight, track condition and the rail out may have contributed to the gelding’s disappointing performance and could not offer any further explanation.

The Stewards, after reviewing the films, noted their comments for future reference. A post-race veterinary examination of CLAIM revealed no significant finding. The gelding was impounded.

The Stewards questioned Jockey Lou Ho into the tactics that were adopted on LIM’S RANGER. The Stewards were concerned with his lack of vigour which was shown over the final 300M of the event. Jockey Lou Ho explained that the mare had a tendency to lay inwards despite his efforts to correct it and as a result, attempted to change his whip to his left hand to try and rectify the problem. He further added that he was not a strong left-hand whip rider and for this reason, he elected to ride hands and heels after testing the mare on 3 occasions with the whip, the mare ran home well. He further stated that it was having its first start in Malaysia.

The Stewards, after reviewing the official patrol films and acting on their own observations, were not fully satisfied with his explanations, however, gave Jockey Lou Ho a “benefit of the doubt” on this occasion and would be monitoring him in future race starts. The Stewards noted his comments for future reference.

SING ENERGY (App S Saddam) jumped outwards and inconvenienced TRUMPS UP (J Shankar) at the start.

The Stewards took into consideration that this is his first offense. He was warned that a repetition of dropping the whip in future may lead to a monetary penalty being imposed.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of METEOR GARDEN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of NINE POINT (D Chong) resulting in that horse having to be severely checked and lost its position.

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. The Stewards also took into consideration that GOLIATH (J Low) shifted out at this point which resulted in METEOR GARDEN (S Ruzaini) having to be momentarily eased off that gelding’s heels and shift inwards.

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 2 April 2017 and to expire on 9 April 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4:25pm).

RACE 8 (R392) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017

The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the reasons why EASTERN TOWKAY (J Low) had to be severely checked by its rider at the 1000M. The Stewards took evidence from App M Hanif, the rider of KABALI, in the presence of his Master, Trainer LN Danis, Jockey J De Souza, the rider of ELF’S DREAM, and Jockey J Low, the rider of

EASTERN TOWKAY.

It was established that approaching the 1000M, EASTERN TOWKAY which had a tendency to over-race and shift outwards, made contact with KABALI which was racing on its outside on several occasions and as a result, was placed in restricted racing room and tightened on the running rail. It was also noted that ELF’S DREAM did have a tendency to

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 4
SLTC, Sunday, 26 March 2017

lay inwards at this stage which contributed to this incident, however, Jockey J De Souza did attempt to alleviate the pressure by turning his horse’s head outwards.

The Stewards, after viewing the official patrol film, could not blame any rider for this incident, however all riders were reminded of their obligations under similar circumstances in future.

………………………….

RACE 6 (R390) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017

The Stewards questioned Jockey J Low into the tactics that were adopted on GOLIATH in particular why he shifted from a position 4-back on the rail to race 4 wide at the 1000M.

Jockey J Low reported that his instructions were to make sure the gelding raced in clear room as in its previous start, it did not perform and the stable was attempting to improve its performance by trying something different with the gelding. He further stated that he placed the gelding under pressure from the 800M, however, it failed to respond to his riding. He also informed the Stewards that he advised the connections and Trainer to delete the horse. The Stewards noted his comments for future reference.

………………………….

RACE 8 (R392) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck into the improved performance of YOU DA ONE (D Chong). He stated that in his opinion, the gelding was suited by the “yielding” track conditions and the 1400M distance. He also was of the opinion that the gelding was given an opportunity of a “soft” lead sectional times in the race while racing in front and had kept him fresh, which may have contributed to the improved performance of the gelding. He also added that there was some support from the connections and stable.

The Stewards noted his comments for future reference and warned him in terms of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding inconsistent and unreliable running.

SLTC, Saturday, 1 April 2017

RACE 2 (R425) CLASS 5 – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

ACE SURPRISE (SS Vanan) and BLACK AHEAD (App KC Wong) bumped on jumping.

D’GREAT BATTALION (S Thai Yang) had to be eased off the heels of CHATEAUNEUF DUPAPE (F Yap) shortly after the start and as a result, lost some ground.

SPARKLER (App S Zulfikri) was caught racing wide in the early and middle stages before gaining a position outside the leader at the 600M.

CHATEAUNEUF DUPAPE and BLOOD ROYAL (J Low) were caught racing wide throughout the event.

At the 400M, ACE SURPRISE shifted out to gain clear running and ran home strongly.

Approaching 300M, CHATEAUNEUF DUPAPE shifted in and as a result, BLACK AHEAD was taken in onto LITTLE JUMBO (App SU Lim).

MR EPIC (D Chong) had a tendency to lay in from the 200M resulting in the rider having to be straightened and ran home strongly.

Upon returning to scales, Jockey S Anandan, the rider of GHOST ACE, reported that his horse raced greenly throughout the race. GHOST ACE which distanced, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

The Stewards questioned Jockey D Chong into the tactics that were adopted on MR EPIC throughout the event. Jockey D Chong reported that his instructions were to try and gain a midfield position, however, informed the Stewards that prior to mounting the gelding, he was informed to try and be in a more handy position.

Jockey D Chong reported that after beginning well from a wide barrier, he attempted to improve his position, however, it failed to respond to his riding and as a result, found himself further back than he had anticipated. Jockey D Chong stated that he placed the gelding under pressure shortly after entering the front straight where it ran home strongly into 3rd position.

The Stewards, after reviewing the official patrol films, advised Jockey D Chong that in future he would be expected try and improve his position in the middle stages in an endeavour to get closer to the leaders and he would have been able to finish better than 3 ½ lengths. The Stewards were satisfied with his explanation and noted his comments for future reference.

RACE 3 (R426) OPEN MAIDEN – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A)

NOVA GENERAL (App A Zaimuddin) reared as the gates opened upon jumping.

MASTER OF SUCCESS (App S Saddam) shifted outwards and bumped STEERING (Lou Ho) and as a result, STEERING, having received the bump, shifted outwards and inconvenienced NOVA DASHING (App WK Lee) and RUSH-MORE (J Shankar).

Making the turn at the 1000M, WAWA MASTER (M Zairi) which was over-racing, had to be eased off the heels of SEMIFREDDO (S Ruzaini) which rolled in at this point.

NOVA DASHING had a tendency to over-race at the rear of the field and had to be continuously checked off the heels of runners in front.

Approaching the 200M, RUSH-MORE had a tendency to lay inwards under pressure when being struck with the whip.

Leaving the 200M, STEERING rolled in marginally and as a result, NOVA GENERAL shifted in and away from that gelding and brushed the running rail resulting in the rider becoming unbalanced and losing some ground.

Upon returning to scales, App WK Lee, the rider of NOVA DASHING, reported that his horse raced greenly throughout the race. NOVA DASHING which was beaten 21 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

SATELLITE KING (M Zairi), HAPPY SIXTYSIX (S Sandana), FLAMING FIREHEART (App KC Wong), MISTER MIYAGI (S Anandan) and POLO BOY (App SU Lim) were all caught racing wide throughout the event.

The Stewards questioned Jockey M Ganeesh into the tactics that were adopted on GREENSTONE in particular why in the last 300M, he failed to continue his use of the whip as the gelding was improving its position. Jockey M Ganeesh stated that at this point, he had to gather his reins in an endeavour to shift outwards to gain a clear run and as a result, lost minimum momentum, however, once in the clear, the gelding ran home well. He also added that GREENSTONE may have suited further distance than today’s 1400M.

The Stewards were not fully satisfied with his explanation, however, took no action on this occasion given the circumstances. His explanation was noted for future reference.

SLTC, Saturday, 1 April 2017

RACE 6 (R429) CLASS 4 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)

Upon jumping, LUCKY DAPPER (S Sandana) shifted outwards and as a result, SPIN FIRE (L Sofhan) was taken out onto SACRED KLASS (App T Krisna).

TOTALITY (F Yap) jumped awkwardly.

SPIN FIRE, LUCKY DAPPER, RED SAPPHIRE (Lou Ho) and D’GREAT EMINENCE (J Low) were all caught racing wide in the early and middle stages from wide barriers.

TOTALITY had a tendency to race ungenerously throughout the event.

Approaching the 450M, D’GREAT EMINENCE had to shift out over the heels of MAZANDARAN (S Anandan) in order to gain a clear run.

LUCKY DAPPER had a tendency to lay inwards under pressure approaching the 200M.

SPIN FIRE which was beaten 19¾ lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

The Stewards questioned Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of DANCING TSURU, into the reasons why he appeared to lose some ground at approximately the 1000M mark. Jockey S Ruzaini stated that he had pressure from TAKEAIM (App A Zaimuddin) from his outside and as a result, had to check his horse and lost ground.

The Stewards, after reviewing the official patrol films, were of the opinion that approaching the 1000M, MOGAN’S PRIDE (HK Cheng) had a tendency to lay inwards resulting in TAKEAIM being taken inwards which placed DANCING TSURU and HAPPY EDDINGTON (J Shankar) in restricted racing room and as a result, DANCING TSURU lost some ground. It was also noted that DANCING TSURU ran home well into third position.

The Stewards could not blame any rider for this incident, however, Jockey HK Cheng was shown the official patrol films of the incident and reminded of his obligation to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 5
SLTC, Saturday, 1 April 2017

GHOST HANA (App A Zaimuddin), SEA WORLD and THE OMEGA MAN (F Yap) were all caught racing wide throughout the event from wide barriers.

Approaching the 900M, GHOST EMPEROR (Lou Ho) had to be eased off the heels of FORTUNIQUE (L Sofhan) and shifted out to gain a clear run.

PERFECT PEARL (J Shankar) was held up for a clear run entering the front straight behind runners in front and had to be eased by its rider.

Approaching the 350M, CRAZY CLUB (App S Saddam) shifted out to obtain a clear run over the heels of MR ARMSTRONG (TK Barnabas).

Approaching the 300M, LISTEN (App S Zulfikri) shifted in several horses when ridden along with the whip and as a result, SEA WORLD had to be severely checked by its rider and JUSTICE WORLD (S Ruzaini) was inconvenienced.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App S Zulfikri, the rider of LISTEN, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer M Sukri, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at approximately the 200M when being ridden forward with the whip, he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of SEA WORLD (J Low) resulting in Jockey J Low having to severely check his mount. JUSTICE WORLD was also inconvenienced in this incident.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Zulfikri’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 3 April 2017 and to expire on 9 April 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:15pm).

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 6
SLTC, Saturday, 1 April 2017

LITTLE LION (App A Zaimuddin) was held up for a clear run in the early part of the home straight behind runners in front.

Leaving the 300M, KEEPER’S PRINCESS (App WK Lee) was placed in restricted room when NO MONEY NO TALK (D Chong) shifted in under pressure and as a result, KEEPER’S PRINCESS had to shift out from that gelding’s heels in order to gain a clear run.

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

The Stewards questioned Jockey J Shankar, the rider of JP SUMMER, into the reasons why he failed to ride his mount out with the required vigour from the 200M. He stated that he placed the gelding under pressure from the 500M but it failed to respond to his riding and after leaving the 200M, the horse was flat and in his opinion, he did not want to punish the horse.

The Stewards advised Jockey J Shankar that the minimum requirement that is expected by the Stewards is at least hands and heels unless he feels that there may have been something amiss with the gelding. The Stewards did not take any action on this occasion, however, reminded him of his obligations.

RACE 7 (R391) OPEN MAIDEN – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey C Goon, the rider of V FOR THAILAND, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at approximately the 800M, he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of MAGIC RANGER (App S Saddam) which was taken in onto ALL SILVER (J Shankar) which had to be severely checked by its rider.

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 8
SLTC, Saturday, 1 April 2017

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. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 27 March 2017 and to expire on 8 April 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5:30pm).

……………………….

SATURDAY, 1 APRIL 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2017

Prior to the running of the first event, the Stewards called the Club Doctor for his opinion on a report submitted by Jockey J De Souza in relation to a course of medication taken by him over the last several days. The Club Doctor informed the Stewards that the medication given to Jockey J De Souza contained several prohibited substances and was concerned for his safety whilst mounted on a horse given some side effects from this type of medication.

The Stewards advised Jockey J De Souza that for this reason, he was stood down from fulfilling his riding engagements at today’s meeting and a clearance certificate must be tendered prior to riding trackwork and races.

……………………….

RACE 9 (R393) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B), SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2017

The Stewards questioned Jockey Lou Ho into the riding tactics that were adopted on ESPERANZA in particular in the home straight as in the opinion of the Stewards, Jockey Lou Ho failed to show sufficient vigour from the 400M as expected.

Jockey Lou Ho stated that racing to the 1000M, the gelding had a tendency to over-race and as a result, had to shift out to gain clear racing room and found himself 4-wide for the remainder part of the event and he believed that he placed the gelding under pressure but it failed to respond to his riding. Jockey Lou Ho agreed with the Stewards’ observations that he may have been able to show a bit more vigour than he did on this occasion.

The Stewards, after giving consideration to the run that ESPERANZA had throughout the event and given the track conditions, did not take any action against Jockey Lou Ho, however, informed him that the Stewards expected him to show far greater effort than he did on this occasion. A warning was issued.

……………………….

SATURDAY, 1 APRIL 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB APRIL MEETING 2017

The Stewards adjourned an inquiry into the reasons why Mr Budin b. Sahamid, an employee of Trainer Anna Scott, and Mr Jefrizal b. Hamid, an employee of Trainer PS Kumaran, were situated behind the barriers prior to the running of Race 7 today. These 2 employees will be stood down from their respective duties until an inquiry into this matter is completed.

STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT
SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2017
SATURDAY, 27 MAY 2017

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Philip Anderson (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Cadet Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R679) CLASS 5 – 1100M (SHORT COURSE C)

MY TOUCH stood flat-footed when the gates were released and failed to jump despite the efforts of Jockey J Shankar. 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.

KING OF SEAL (HS Gill) jumped away awkwardly and shortly thereafter, shifted in, taking ARLO (S Ruzaini) in which resulted in TAKE A BOW (App W Faizal) having to be steadied and lost its position.

LITTLE MAN (App S Saddam) raced wide from the 800M until entering the home straight.

MILITARY STAR (App M Hanif) which was difficult to settle, had to be steadied on several occasions racing to the 600M to avoid the heels of IKTO (App KC Wong).

The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck into ARLO’s improved performance as against its recent form. Trainer C Leck explained that the gelding had shown him little in his training and he elected to race him with blinkers which in his opinion, had contributed to the improved performance of the gelding today. His explanation was noted and he was warned in terms of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding inconsistent and unreliable running.

Jockey J Low stated that he got a good jump and settled midfield but from the 800M, he was taken wider and raced wider until entering the straight and when being put under pressure, the mare failed to respond to his riding and finished the race fairly. A post-race veterinary examination of FIORELLA revealed no significant finding.

App W Faizal, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was shown the video of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

JP REGIS (M Zairi) was disappointed for a run at the 200M and 100M when CHINO DIABLO (App SU Lim) rolled in resulting in insufficient room for a clear room.

The Stewards were unable to blame any particular rider for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

The Stewards questioned Jockey HS Gill into TWODOLLARMUPPET’S performance today. He stated that his instructions were to be mid-to-back and he decided to settle it back when the gelding showed no early pace. He said that it travelled well and he commenced to improve from the 600M and on entering the straight, the gelding failed to respond to his riding and finished the race off fairly.

The Stewards questioned Trainer PS Kumaran into the improved performance of JUST DUIT (S Anandan). He stated that the gelding was drawn well, better suited by today’s distance and the “good” going.

RACE 5 (R609) CLASS 4 – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A), SATURDAY, 13 MAY 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2017

The Stewards, on Friday, 26 May 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the riding of ARC CARA and took further evidence from Jockey M Ganeesh and Trainer S Dunderdale, the rider and Trainer of ARC CARA respectively.

Trainer S Dunderdale’s evidence was noted.

After reviewing the films and considering the evidence tendered, 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:

1. from the 300M to the 150M, in the Stewards opinion, he showed no initiative or purpose to obtain a clear run; and

2. at the 100M when the clear run was available to the gelding, he hesitated and failed to use sufficient vigour for some distance.

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 Ganeesh’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from 28 May 2017 and to expire on 27 September 2017, both dates inclusive.

Jockey J Shankar explained that he carried out his instructions but felt that the gelding was not travelling well and at the 800M, he used the whip on several occasions and again at the 600M, however, when DIRAC failed to respond to his riding, he elected to use his whip in the left hand in the straight in an effort to get the gelding to finish the race. Jockey J Shankar’s explanation was noted but he was warned to ride all his horses out in such a manner so as to leave no room for query, in particular on this occasion, his use of the whip.

RACE 1 (R771) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE C)

STREET CHAMP (M Zairi) was slow to begin.

SPARKLER (S Ruzaini) shifted in on jumping away, contacting SEA MASTER (App KC Wong) which was taken in onto CHAMPAGNE ROSE (SS Vanan) which was checked.

SPARKLER shifted in passing the 800M resulting in ESPERANZA (App SU Lim) being taken inwards, causing JUST VITAL (App KP Lim) to be checked and shift outwards abruptly resulting in CHINESE SILHOUETTE (App W Faizal) and CHAMPAGNE ROSE being checked and taken wider on the track. Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of SPARKLER, was shown the film of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.

Racing to the 100M, WILL BE BETTER (App AK Lim) was disappointed for a run on the inside of UNCLE GLORY (C Goon) and had to shift out across the heels of that horse to obtain a clear run.

App KP Lim was questioned into why he left the Jockeys’ Room without permission. He was submitted to a Breathalyzer test and was warned not to leave the Jockeys’ area until he has completed his rides.
