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.

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 2nd and 1st 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.

Prior to the running of this race, the Stipendiary Stewards observed that the ear-muffs impeded the gelding’s vision.

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.

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.

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.

Jockey AM Aizat advised that BLEU MARINE had laid inwards considerably from the 300M.

Rider advised he should ride all his mounts so as to present no question to his true purpose.  

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.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

The Stewards, on Friday, 29 September 2023 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into Jockey M Ewe’s riding of ROYAL FLUSH in the above race. Further evidence was taken from Jockey M Ewe, who did not present any further witnesses.

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of ROYAL FLUSH, the Stewards found Jockey M Ewe guilty under MRA Rule 44(8) for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that ROYAL FLUSH was given full opportunity of winning or of obtaining the best possible placing in that he had failed to ride the mare out in the straight from the 200M mark.

The Stewards took into consideration Jockey M Ewe’s riding record, mitigating factors and his submissions on penalty. He was disqualified for a period of one (1) year with immediate effect from 29 September 2023 and to expire on 28 September 2024, both dates inclusive. He was also fined RM50,000/- and advised of his Right of Appeal (3:35pm).

Jockey M Ewe subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Panel of Stewards considered the application for a stay which was not granted. The appeal hearing will be held at a date to be fixed.

Further, as Trainer HY Cheng was unable to attend the inquiry, he will be called at date to be advised for the continuation of the inquiry related to his evidence as the Trainer of ROYAL FLUSH.
