At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of SPEEDY DEMON, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding SPEEDY DEMON in this race in that he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of GOOD WARRIOR and MY MONEY shortly after the start, subsequently allowed his horse to shift in, which resulted in THE STORM, QIJI LOVE and STEEL CUTTER being carried in and thereafter approaching the 1100M, again allowed his horse to shift in which resulted in THE STORM and QIJI LOVE being tightened which contributed to STEEL CUTTER clipping heels and its rider being dislodged.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AM Aizat’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, to be deferred, with effect from 31 December 2023 and to expire on 14 January 2024, both dates inclusive.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App M Lukman’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 25 December 2023 and to expire on 6 January 2024, both dates inclusive.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey WW Cheah, the rider of NEW GARDEN, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding NEW GARDEN in this race, at approximately the 1100M, he eased the pace to the extent that it contributed to QIJI LOVE becoming awkwardly placed on heels and having to ease and in turn, causing STEEL CUTTER positioned behind QIJI LOVE, to become awkwardly placed and clip heels, which resulted in App R Nuqman being dislodged.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey WW Cheah’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of five (5) Malaysian race days with effect from 14 January 2024 and to expire on 4 February 2024, both dates inclusive, to be served consecutively with any other penalty.

Between the 500M and the early part of entering the straight, he switched JOKER NINE SIX into a racing line directly behind another runner, INTENT (App H Haikal) despite a clear run presenting itself ahead of him prior to the switch and a clear run being available outside of INTENT;
Between approximately the 450M and leaving the 400M, after adopting a racing line behind INTENT, his riding is passive, lacking in vigour and unresponsive to INTENT gaining an advantage of JOKER NINE SIX; and
After switching out for clear running leaving the 400M, from this point to the 200M mark, despite having the opportunity to ride with the requisite vigour, his riding again lacked INTENT, was passive and non-vigourous.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AM Aizat’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of six (6) months with effect from 11 December 2023 and to expire on 10 June 2024, both dates inclusive.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AM Aizat’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty.

7	CAPONE (J Low)	*(See Report)
8	MOONGATE (L De Souza)	Fly-jumped at the start.

Jockey J Low (CAPONE) appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his riding on CAPONE. In this regard, his attention was specifically drawn to the fact that after jumping well and obtaining the position behind the leader, he allowed his mount to drift back and WECANDO (SU Lim) to take his position in the running.

Jockey J Low explained to the Board that it was his instructions to ride this horse midfield therefore, he did not want to overly pressure this gelding to hold the position behind the leader as it would have been contrary to his instructions. Accordingly, he attempted to settle his mount, finding a position where it was comfortable and allowed it an opportunity to settle and run on in the straight. However, he further explained that despite travelling well in the running, this horse had nothing to come in the straight and faded tamely. The Board noted the explanation of Jockey J Low. Additionally, the Board interviewed Trainer HY Cheng who confirmed the statements of Jockey J Low in so far as they related to him.

RACE 10 (R1228) CLASS 3 – 1200M (SC C4)

1	SPEEDY MISSILE (App M Seelan)	Restless in the gates. Jumped out slowly. Raced wide throughout.
3	CHEVAL BLANC (KC Tham)	Hung outwards and brushed outwards in the straight. *(See Report)
4	HANDSOME BENZ (App R Nuqman)	Jumped out slowly.
5	MALAYSIA CAPTAIN (S Ruzaini)	Brushed outwards in the straight. *(See Report)
6	PERFECT (App I Fikri)	Raced wide throughout.
8	BALKAN (KP Lim)	Over-raced in the early stages.

Jockey S Ruzaini reviewed the footage of the race pertaining to the incidents involving CHEVAL BLANC and MALAYSIA CAPTAIN. This was followed by an objection being lodged by the Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of the second placed horse (MALAYSIA CAPTAIN) against the winner, CHEVAL BLANC (KC Tham) on the grounds of interference and intimidation from the 450M. After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection. In arriving at this decision, the Board considered that, the distance between 2^nd and 1^st at the finish was 0.75L, notwithstanding the incident, MALAYSIA CAPTAIN appeared to have every opportunity to race past CHEVAL BLANC in the concluding stages and from the footage, and in particular the side-on angle, it appeared that CHEVAL BLANC always had the measure of MALAYSIA CAPTAIN.

Consequently, the Board could not be satisfied that but for the above incident, MALAYSIA CAPTAIN would have finished ahead of CHEVAL BLANC, therefore it overruled the objection and allowed the Judge’s result to stand.

STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER MEETING 2023

SATURDAY, 4 NOVEMBER 2023

STATE OF TRACK: Yielding

Track Two (II)

Panel of Stewards:

2 Members of the Panel selected by the Committee

Mr Jarry Chong (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward)

Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward)

RACE 1 (R1187) CLASS 5 B – 1175M (Track II)

2	NAMBIAR ROCKET (AK Lim)	Raced wide in the early stages.
3	ALWAYS AFRAID (A Suriya)	Was outpaced in the early and middle stages. Thereafter, this gelding ran on well in the straight.
5	RAINBOW FISH (S Ruzaini)	Prior to the running of this race, the Stipendiary Stewards observed that the ear-muffs impeded the gelding’s vision. Accordingly, Trainer EP Tan was advised of this occurrence and it was ordered by the Stewards that this equipment be removed. Trainer EP Tan was also issued with a reprimand. Had no pace despite being urged.
6	ZAZU (App I Fikri)	Was ridden aggressively from the jump in order to obtain a forward position. Thereafter at the 900M, the gelding obtained the lead, however, was unable to cross to the rail and raced in a one-off position until entering the straight.
7	D’GREAT EMPRESS (KC Tham)	Vet inspection: No significant finding.
9	NATUREISSPEAKING (App H Haikal)	Vet inspection: No significant finding.

RACE 2 (R1188) CLASS 5 B – 1175M (Track II)

2	COME AND TAKE ALL (AM Aizat)	Was bumped approaching the 1000M and inconvenienced by the fallen Jockey S Saddam. Raced wide in the middle stages.
3	NEW GARDEN (S Saddam)	Approaching the 1000M, ducked in sharply which resulted in Jockey S Saddam being dislodged. Jockey S was examined by the Club Doctor who stood him down from his riding engagements for the remainder of the races today, and was subsequently taken to the hospital for further observation.
6	HORSE KING (App H Haikal)	At the 1000M, was inconvenienced by the fallen Jockey S Saddam.
7	CHIPS (S Ruzaini)	Raced wide in the middle stages.
8	ELEGENT (App M Lukman)	At the 700M, was carried out when awkwardly placed on the outside of the loose horse. This resulted in this gelding losing momentum on the turn, having to ease and shifted in behind runners.
9	SO BEAUTIFUL (App R Nuqman)	Jumped awkwardly and lost many lengths. In view of this report, this mare will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again. Vet inspection: No significant finding.
10	YINYANG (App AB Riduan)	Was bumped in severely approaching the 1000M. In the straight, was hanging in, proving difficult to assist. This resulted in the Apprentice being unable to fully assist this gelding in the straight. *(See Report)

App AB Riduan appeared before the Stewards, was shown the patrol film of the race, and advised that when his mounts were demonstrating such behavioural traits, and was advised that when he is unable to use his whip in the correct hand, he should ride his mounts under strong hands and heels ride until the end of the race rather than risking them shifting away from the whip.

RACE 3 (R1189) CLASS 5 A – 1175M (Track II)

3	HANDSOME BOY (App AB Riduan)	*(See Report)
5	CANDY RAIN (App A Nazir)	Returned cast off fore plate.
7	GUILTY PLEASURES (A Suriya)	Vet inspection: Lame near fore – 1000M/Vet (2 weeks embargo)
8	SORBETA (App S Shazmin)	Slow into stride and outpaced in the early stages. Vet inspection: Lame near fore – 1000M/Vet (2 weeks embargo)

App AB Riduan and his Employing Trainer, HY Cheng appeared before the Stewards and was questioned regarding App AB Riduan’s riding of HANDSOME BOY in the straight. In this regard, the Stewards specifically drew App AB Riduan’s attention to his looking back whilst using his whip, HANDSOME BOY shifting in behind runners at the 300M and the non-vigourous nature of his riding between the 200M and the 100M.

App AB Riduan explained that it was his riding style to move his head back between the 200M to the 100M whilst using his whip and that after he struck HANDSOME BOY with the whip, this gelding shifted in which resulted in it becoming awkwardly placed on heels. Therefore, he allowed this gelding to shift further in order to obtain clear running. The Stewards noted and accepted the explanation provided.

In respect of his non-vigourous riding, neither App AB Riduan nor Trainer HY Cheng were able to provide the Stewards with an acceptable explanation. However, in determining what sanction to take in this matter, the Stewards were of the view that prejudice from the Apprentice’s riding between the 200M to the 100M could not be definitely established after considering the finishing position of HANDSOME BOY and the distance between the first and second placings. Accordingly, App AB Riduan was issued with a severe reprimand.

RACE 4 (R1190) CLASS 5 A – 1175M (Track II)

2	ROCK N ROLL (App R Nuqman)	Raced wide throughout.
3	LANKARAN (S Ruzaini)	Hung inwards in the straight.
4	RAHOTU (M Seelan)	At the 200M, shifted out to continue its run.
6	EL MACHO (HK Cheng)	Raced wide throughout. Hung inwards in the straight.
10	NATE’S HONOUR (App AB Riduan)	Cast off fore plate and was reshod at the start. Jumped awkwardly.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 6 (R491) Class 4b – 1200M (A4 sc), SATURDAY, 6 MAY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2023

The Stewards, on 23 October 2023 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded their investigation into the reason for BLOOD ROYAL (App KH Chong) falling.

Jockey CK Khaw (GUILTY PLEASURES) and App KH Chong (who has been unavailable due to injury), along with Trainer R Lines, the Employing Trainer of App KH Chong and Trainer of BLOOD ROYAL, gave evidence.

It was concluded that BLOOD ROYAL had clipped the heels of HAPPY THIRTYNINE (L De Souza) at about the 400M and fell. GUILTY PLEASURES was unable to avoid the fallen horse and it too, fell near the 400M.

The site of the fall was examined immediately after the incident and was observed to be unremarkable. Further, neither BLOOD ROYAL or GUILTY PLEASURES suffered any injuries other than minor abrasion and post incident swellings.

The Stewards concluded that the incident, though having serious consequences cases, was a race incident and no rider was considered to be at fault.

RACE 5 (R1138) OPEN MAIDEN – 1400M (LC A)

When the start was effected, the Starter was of the opinion that DRAGON SANDS (App R Nuqman) had breached its gate and as such the Starter effected the false start mechanism, all riders subsequently restrained their mounts.

The Panel of Stewards ascertained that DRAGON SANDS had reared and struck the gate, giving the impression it had prematurely opened. After veterinary examination of all horses, the Panel of Stewards was of the opinion that it was inappropriate to run the race and as such under the provisions of MRA Rule 114(1), the race was void.

Given the history of DRAGON SANDS in relation to its barrier manners, the gelding will be required to pass 2 Starting Stall tests before being declared to race again.
