STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2024

SATURDAY, 18 MAY 2024

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Track II

Panel of Stewards:

2 Members of the Panel selected by the Committee

Mr Deanthan Moodley (Chief Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Mukkesh Nair Murli Haran (Cadet Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Desmond Tan Wai Yuan (Cadet Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R0485)       CLASS 5A – 1275M (Track II)

1

I’M SMART GREY

(App A Nazir)

Jumped inwards at the start.

3

ICHIKA BACHIKA

(J Daniel)

*(See Report)

4

LEGEND NINETY TWO

(KC Tham)

Bumped and squeezed out at the start.

7

FARDUS

(App H Haikal)

Bumped and squeezed out at the start. Vet inspection: No significant finding.

Jockey J Daniel (ICHIKA BACHIKA) appeared before the Panel and was questioned separately regarding his riding instructions. In this regard, he advised that his instructions were to ride this horse in order to obtain a handy position from the jump.

Trainer S Dunderdale appeared before the Panel and was questioned regarding his instructions on ICHIKA BACHIKA. In this regard, he explained that his instructions to Jockey J Daniel were that this horse has a history of jumping moderately, therefore he was instructed to ride this horse in a manner that afforded it an opportunity to obtain a forward position. The Stewards drew Trainer S Dunderdale’s attention to the lack of similar intent in this gelding’s recent runs. Trainer S Dunderdale explained that today, the better track and a better rider were, in his opinion, a contributory factor to ICHIKA BACHIKA racing in a position that it did in the race.

The Panel noted the explanation of Trainer S Dunderdale, however, was of the view that as similar intent from the jump could not be established from the riding of this gelding in its last 4 runs, the instructions today were tantamount to a change of tactics. Consequently, Trainer S Dunderdale was found guilty of a contravention of MRA Rule 35(8) and a penalty of RM1000/- was imposed.

SAHM

(App H Haikal)

Vet inspection: Lame off fore – 1000M/Vet (2 weeks embargo)

Jockey J Daniel (SESON) appeared before the Panel and was questioned regarding his riding instructions. In this regard, he explained that his instructions were to sit in a handy position, however, after jumping as well as he did, he did not want to risk being caught wide and instead elected to commit his horse to a forward position which resulted in an unanticipated lead.

Trainer R Lines (SESON) appeared before the Panel separately and was questioned regarding his instructions on SESON. In this regard, he explained that he had instructed Jockey J Daniel to obtain a forward position and he had not specifically instructed him to lead, however, after jumping, he found it acceptable that Jockey J Daniel continued to commit SESON forward as failing to do so, would have resulted in him being trapped wide. The Stewards noted the explanation of Trainer R Lines.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey KC Tham, the rider of MR G, pleaded not guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that he failed to ride MR G to the satisfaction of the Stewards in this race. The particulars of the charge being that whilst riding MR G in this race, his riding was passive, non-vigourous, lacking in determination and inconsistent. In this regard, his body position, reins and whip motion were not the norm of the standard expected of a Jockey, particularly when his mount was in contention at the finish.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey KC Tham’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

(App R Nuqman)

Unable to secure clear running in the concluding stages and had to ease on at least 2 occasions.

Jockey Z Khairil (THE STORM) appeared before the Panel of Stewards, and was shown the patrol films of the race and questioned regarding the indecisive nature of his riding in the early stages. His attention was specifically drawn to the fact that the form of this horse suggested that it races in a handy position, however, upon jumping, there appeared to be no intent to either go back and take cover nor go forward and obtain a handy position on this horse. Jockey Z Khairil explained that his instructions were to obtain cover from a deep draw and that he had anticipated with this being a sprint race, he would be able to slot in behind the front runners as the pace would be fast in the early stages. However upon jumping the pace was not as quick as he had anticipated which resulted in him being positioned wider than he preferred. He further explained that once trapped wide, he did not want to concede further ground and elected to allow his mount to stride forward in the running. Jockey Z Khairil was further questioned regarding the stride of his horse in the straight where it appeared that his mount raced awkwardly. In this regard, he explained that this horse had previously had a tendon issue and therefore had a tendency to overreach and change legs in races as well as in training. The Panel noted the explanations of Jockey Z Khairil.

(App I Fikr)

Slow to begin.

Jockey O Chavez (JOJU) appeared before the Stewards and was questioned regarding the vigour of his riding in the concluding stages of the race. In this regard, he explained that at the points of concern of the Stewards, JOJU had taken a number of awkward strides and its head had dipped in the running, this resulted in him correcting and balancing his mount prior to continuing to riding it out to the finish. Additionally, he explained that after travelling comfortably and obtaining the lead, this mare had lost concentration in the running which contributed to PACIFIC WINDSOR defeating it on the line. In support of his statements, Jockey Chavez referred the Stewards to the ears of JOJU which at the point of concern of the Stewards, were flicking back and forth. The Stewards noted the explanation of Jockey O Chavez which were supported by the patrol films of the race. However, Jockey Chavez was reminded of his obligations to ride his mounts out with the requisite vigour to the end of the race so as to leave no room for query by the Stewards.

Jockey KC Tham was examined by the Club Doctor who subsequently stood him down from his riding engagement for his remainder rides.

In view of PACIFIC RIVER  performing below betting expectations (RM7 favourite), App PH Seow appeared before the Stewards and was afforded the opportunity to place on record any factors, which in her opinion contributed to the defeat of PACIFIC RIVER. In this regard, App PH Seow explained that it was her instructions to jump cleanly and attempt to acquire a soft lead. However, upon jumping, PACIFIC RIVER had not shown the speed that she had anticipated. Notwithstanding, her encouraging this gelding to challenge for the lead. Accordingly, she elected to take up the position outside the leader and trail it into the race. Upon entering the straight, she explained that PACIFIC RIVER had failed to produce any significant finishing burst and just stayed on to the finish. It was App PH Seow’s opinion that this gelding had been impacted by the softness of the track and it was likely that its comparative advantage that is, its early speed was blunted by the track conditions. The Stewards took note of the explanations of App PH Seow and ordered that PACIFIC RIVER be subjected to a veterinary examination.

Trainer CC Ooi further explained that there was no change to this horse’s feeding or training and confirmed that this gelding would continue to be ridden similarly, that is; aggressively from the jump, in future runs where practical.

ROYAL FLUSH

(R Shafiq)

*(See Report)

Jockey R Shafiq appeared before the Panel and was questioned regarding the riding tactics of ROYAL FLUSH. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to the fact that the pattern of racing for this mare in winning its last 2 races was to get back in the running and be produced late to finish its race of strongly. However today, the Panel noted that ROYAL FLUSH had been ridden in a more forward position.

Jockey R Shafiq explained that his instructions were to ride ROYAL FLUSH in the position where it was most comfortable and after jumping unexpectedly well, he allowed this mare to stride into a position whilst racing within itself. He further explained that he too, had anticipated when reading the race that he would settle near the back of the field and ride this mare to its pattern in its previous 2 runs, however, after jumping as well as it did, he took that stance that it would be more detrimental to his mount’s chances to restrain it to the rear of the field than to allow it the opportunity to take advantage of the good start it had gained. The Board noted his explanation.
