SHANG CHI

(App AB Riduan)

The saddle slipped backwards near the 1000M, then slipped sideways at about the 150M with the Apprentice becoming unbalanced in the final 3 strides.

When questioned regarding the performance of MOONGATE LIGHT, Trainer R Lines advised the he had instructed the gelding to be ridden forward or even lead, if able to do so with no pressure. Although from its outside gate, he considered this task could be difficult.

App M Seelan stated that he had pushed MOONGATE LIGHT hard from the start but it had shown sufficient pace to be in a prominent position, and that although he had slapped the gelding several times, it had failed to improve its position in the straight. It was evident from the patrol film that the apprentice had ridden to the level of his vigorous from the start but that the gelding had failed to accelerate quickly to attain a leading position. He was advised, however, that he must endeavor to improve his position mid-race when in similar circumstances.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 11 (R847) Class 5 – 1200M (A sc), SUNDAY, 6 AUGUST 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2023 

The Stewards, on Thursday, 10 August 2023, inquired into running and handling of QUASAR in the above race. Evidence was taken from Jockey Z Khairil and Trainer NM Selvan, the rider and trainer of QUASAR respectively. 

Trainer NM Selvan stated that he had instructed that QUASAR be ridden in a midfield position as was customary over the 1200M. Whilst he believed the gelding was best suited by racing on a softer track, he was comfortable with the state of the track as being suitable. 

Jockey Z Khairil confirmed the instructions and advised that after jumping well, he had been in a nice position midfield, given that the leaders had gone very hard. Running to the 800M turn, he had been outside PACIFIC ARMANI (App R Nuqman) (placed second) and in advance of MARTIN VJ (App A Suriya) (winner) when he attempted to take up a better position closer to the fence but had received an appeal from App A Suriya who he believed was being crowded slightly. He had thus stayed in his three (3) wide position until straightening where he had struck QUASAR back handed on two (2) occasions. He had then ridden in his consistent manner using the whip on numerous occasions. He was of the opinion QUASAR had neither stopped nor progressed finishing a well beaten seventh (7th). 

The Stewards advised Jockey Z Khairil that they had concerns related to his true purpose when he had remained in three (3) wide position early in the race. He was advised that he must ride every mount in a purposeful and diligent manner. 

Trainer NM Selvan was advised that it was expected that QUASAR be ridden in a similar fashion at its next starts.

RACE 10 (R846) Open Maiden – 1200M (A sc), SUNDAY, 6 AUGUST 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2023 

In review of races from 5th and 6th August 2023, the Stewards reprimanded Jockey KP Lim for continuing to use his whip on MAGIC TURBO in the above race, when the gelding was clearly winning.

 RACE 7 (R843) Class 4B – 1100M (A sc), SUNDAY, 6 AUGUST 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2023

App H Haikal who rode his 10th winner on MR HANKS in this race, would only be entitled to claim 3kgs allowance as from Monday, 7 August 2023. 

WITHDRAWAL OF APPEAL BY JOCKEY Y AIFY AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF SIX (6) MONTHS AND FINE OF RM20,000/- FOR CONTRAVENTION OF MRA RULE 44(10) IMPOSED BY THE PANEL OF STEWARDS RELATED TO HIS RIDING OF RACEHORSE “TORNADO PEGASUS” IN RACE 5 (R662) ON SUNDAY, 18 JUNE 2023 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB JUNE MEETING 2023 

Jockey Y Aify (TORNADO PEGASUS) who lodged an appeal against his suspension of six (6) months and fine of RM20,000/- under MRA Rule 44(10), applied to withdraw his appeal on 15 August 2023. Pursuant to MRA Rule 149(1)(h), the Appeal Panel acceded to his request and his deposit shall be forfeited. His suspension commenced on 16 August 2023 and to expire on 15 February 2024, both dates inclusive.

AMENDMENT

RACE 10 (R783) Class 5b – 1075M (II),    SATURDAY, 22 JULY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2023 

The Stewards acceded to Jockey S Saddam’s (NEW GARDEN) request to amend the dates of his suspension of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 25 July 2023 and to expire on 6 August 2023, both dates inclusive.

REPORT OF ANALYSIS OF POST MORTEM SAMPLE                                                                       

The report dated 4 July 2023 (PM/V23/004) from the Chief Analyst of Veterinary Forensic Laboratory stated that 1 set of coded urine sample and 1 set of coded blood sample were received on 18 June 2023, for analysis under the MRA Rules and Regulations. The sample was analyzed for the presence of prohibited substances which Sample Coded “09972” revealed the presence of “3-Hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan”. After decoding the sample number, it was established that this sample was reported to have been taken from the deceased horse “SATURDAY”.

INQUIRY INTO A REPORT RELATING TO POST MORTEM SAMPLE CODED “09972” WHICH WAS TAKEN FROM THE DECEASED HORSE “SATURDAY” ON FRIDAY, 16 JUNE 2023 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB AND THE SAMPLE WAS FOUND TO CONTAIN “3-HYDROXY-N-METHYLMORPHINAN” 

The Stewards, on Tuesday, 25 July 2023, inquired into the analyst’s report of a sample taken from the deceased racehorse SATURDAY (K178) on 16 June 2023.

Evidence was taken from Trainer BT Lim and SLTC Chief Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Shri Kanth.

It was established that SATURDAY had last raced on 16 April 2023 and had subsequently been diagnosed to have a carpal fracture. Dr Shri had recommended that, given the prognosis that SATURDAY be retired. Trainer BT Lim had kept SATURDAY in his stables but had not “deleted” the gelding from MRA registration as he was attempting to find a suitable home for the gelding.

SATURDAY has suddenly died on the afternoon of 16 June 2023, at which time samples were taken. The analysis found to contain “3-Hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan”.

Whilst the inquiry failed to establish the origin of the substance, which is not registered for veterinary use in Malaysia, under the provisions of MRA Rule 135(11), Trainer BT Lim was deemed to be in control of SATURDAY at the time of sampling and was subsequently fined RM2000/- under the provisions of MRA Rule 135(7) in that “3-Hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan” is a prohibited substance which is not currently approved for veterinary use in Malaysia.

RACE 9 (R782) Class 5b – 1075M (II), SATURDAY, 22 JULY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2023

The Stewards, on Thursday, 27 July 2023, inquired into Jockey App K Pavinthran’s riding of SPEEDY DEMON in the above race. Evidence was taken from App K Pavinthran, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, C Leck and Trainer V Sivan, the trainer of SPEEDY DEMON.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of SPEEDY DEMON, App K Pavinthran 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 being that:

  1. He restrained SPEEDY DEMON unduly near the 900M mark;

  2. He continued to restrain SPEEDY DEMON on straightening and made no attempt to keep the horse out or ride it out, until the 300M until he shifted in;

  3. Considerable lack of vigour to his riding when he was on the fence, having passed M ELEVEN (App I Fikri) over the last 150M.

The Stewards took into consideration App K Pavinthran’s guilty plea, riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months, with effect from 23 July 2023 and to expire on 22 October 2023, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R725) CLASS 5b – 1200M (E lc), SATURDAY, 8 JULY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JULY MEETING 2023

The Stewards, on Friday, 21 July 2023, concluded the adjourned inquiry into Jockey MM Firdaus’ riding of D’GREAT STRIKE in the above race. Further evidence was taken from the gelding’s Trainer, EP Tan and Jockey MM Firdaus.

Several of Jockey MM Firdaus’ witnesses were questioned, namely; Jockey M Ewe who had ridden D’GREAT STRIKE on 2 occasions, App A Nazir who had ridden the gelding at its previous start to the race in question and App S Shazmin who had ridden the gelding on 3 occasions.

It was further established that at its seventh (7th) start in 2023 (prior to the race in question), the Stewards had made notations on 6 occasions related to D’GREAT STRIKE “racing erratically”, “laying in considerably” and “hanging inwards”.

Given the evidence tendered, and after review of numerous patrol films, the Stewards took no further action related to Jockey MM Firdaus’ riding of D’GREAT STRIKE.

However, in light of the reports and statements made by the 4 riders, the Stewards deemed that D’GREAT STRIKE must trial on 2 occasions to the satisfaction of the Stewards from an outside stall and when ridden by a senior rider. Further that if D’GREAT STRIKE performed satisfactorily in these trials, it may only be ridden in a race by a senior rider and should it present an issue whereby it races uncompetitively or intractably, consideration will be given to recommending that the gelding’s entries be rejected.

YULONG DREAM

(J Low)

Trainer fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 35(1) for presenting the gelding with an undeclared shoeing. Pulled hard, throwing its head near the 850M.

The Stewards inquired into the riding of ROTI KAYA. Evidence was taken from Trainer HY CHENG who stated that he had instructed the gelding be ridden in a mid-to-back position and had advised Jockey J Kamaruddin that ROTI KAYA was blind in one-eye. He further advised that it raced on the pace when a (default) winner, but at its previous start, it had begun badly and raced rearward despite the urging of the rider.

Jockey J Kamaruddin stated that ROTI KAYA had not begun quickly and he had been in a rearward position when crossed by DETERMINE TO WIN near the 800M where he had restrained to avoid that horse’s heels. He believed that ROTI KAYA had then raced reluctantly and was timid despite his mid-race urging. He explained that although failing to improve his position between the 550M and the turn into the straight, the gelding was inclined to lay outwards and he became concerned for his safety when steadying ROTI KAYA on two (2) occasions after DIAMOND SET had shifted in and was again blocked for a clear run near the 150M.

The Stewards were aware that ROTI KAYA had been permitted to race at Selangor Turf Club with one-eye after having performed several trials satisfactorily.

The Panel of Stewards advised Jockey J Kamaruddin that they were dissatisfied with his riding particularly the mid-race section where he had failed to improve his position and his lack of diligence in taking expedient action to best position ROTI KAYA when he received minor interference on two (2) occasions in the straight. The Stewards advised Jockey J Kamaruddin that they believe that whilst they could not substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules, as several elements of his evidence and defense were directly related to the fact that ROTI KAYA was blind in one-eye, they had grave concerns related to his true purpose and veracity in his riding of ROTI KAYA.

Trainer HY Cheng was advised that although permission had been given to permit ROTI KAYA to continue to race with one-eye under the provisions of MRA Rule 79, the Stipendiary Stewards were withdrawing such permission and would make a report to the Committee under MRA Rule 79(3) to revoke the registration of ROTI KAYA after considering that on the evidence tendered, the gelding posed a danger to other horses and riders in a race.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

TUESDAY, 11 JULY 2023, SLTC TRACKWORK

The Stewards inquired into the reason for STAR FIFTYTWO and ALPHA SONIC working on a non-designated section of the grass track on Tuesday, 11 July 2023.

The Trainer of both horses, Trainer KC Tiang stated that he had sent the riders to work on the better part of the grass and that there were no designated markers at that stage. It was ascertained that these markers had been removed in line with the policy to facilitate trials albeit that the grass track was still open.

Trainer KC Tiang, App R Nuqman (STAR FIFTYTWO) and Track Rider Muhammad Syafiq Bin Mohd. Hussain (TR.56) (ALPHA SONIC) were warned that a repetition to any work outside of the designated area and training regions would lead to a penalty being imposed.

BLACK TAIPAN

(App H Haikal)

*(See Report).

The Stewards questioned Trainer HY Cheng and App H Haikal related to the riding of BLACK TAIPAN. Trainer HY Cheng advised that he instructed the gelding to be ridden in a rearward position, given that he was drawn wide and he did not wish for it to be trapped wide with the rail at 9M. He stated that the Apprentice’s ride was his normal standard that he was accustomed to and further that he accepted.

App H Haikal stated that he had ridden to instructions and had restrained early in an endeavour to position in the field and in the straight, had ridden with his normal vigour, however, BLACK TAIPAN had taken a bad step near the 200M and had thereafter tended to lay outwards and that returned to scales having cast its off fore plate.

Whilst accepting these explanations, App H Haikal was reprimanded for using insufficient vigour and advised that a repetition would lead to a charge being levelled.
