11

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.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

RACE 2 (R495) CLASS 5a – 1300M (A4 lc), SUNDAY, 7 MAY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2023 

The Stewards today, Friday, 9 June 2023, concluded the adjourned inquiry into Jockey L De Souza being dislodged from COSMIC SANDS at the 1000M in the above race.

Evidence was taken from App M Ekdihar (KIPEH) and his Employing Trainer, SY Lim, and App S Sia (READYTOSEVENLUCK), and his Employing Trainer, R Lines, and Jockey L De Souza (COSMIC SANDS).

After considering the evidence and incident, the Stewards determined that COSMIC SANDS had pulled up on the inside of KIPEH where there was insufficient room, after that horse rolled off the rail slightly. KIPEH was then held tight by READYTOSEVENLUCK which was on its outside, with KIPEH returning to its former position causing COSMIC SANDS to clip its heels and blunder, dislodging Jockey L De Souza.

No rider was held to blame in this incident.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey E Ferreira (SO BEAUTIFUL) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted out when blocked on straightening causing MISE EN GARDE to check. 

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey E Ferreira’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, to be deferred, with effect from 12 June 2023 and to expire on 18 June 2023, both dates inclusive.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC

APPEAL BY JOCKEY CALVIN GOON TUCK LEE (C GOON) AGAINST THE SUSPENSION OF TWO (2) 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 “BIG G” IN RACE 2 (R110) ON SUNDAY, 29 JANUARY 2023 AT THE SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2023

The Selangor Turf Club Appeal Panel heard the above appeal on Friday, 26 May 2023.

After considering submissions from Jockey C Goon, his legal representative, Mr. V.K. Raj from Messrs. A. Rajadurai P. Kuppusamy & Co., App A Suriya (Jockey C Goon’s witness) and the Chief Stipendiary Steward, the Appeal Panel dismissed the appeal.

The Appeal Panel substituted the sentence of 2-month suspension and RM20,000/- fine with a warning and advised that he should ride his mounts in a more positive manner to give his horse a chance to be more competitive.

The deposit was refunded. 

RACE 2 (R515) CLASS 5a – 1400M (E lc), SUNDAY, 14 MAY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2023

The Stewards investigated the essence of a report on post-race received from the analyst that OFFICIAL (unplaced) had “failed the pre-race testing criteria”.

USAINS Biomics has been asked to clarify certain significant aspects of their report including:

  • the reporting of an antibiotic;

  • the delay in reporting, given the result of the pre-race sample was advised only after the race;

  • the non-advice of the interruption to the pre-race analysis.

RACE 4 (R554) CLASS 4a – 1175M (II), SUNDAY, 21 MAY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB MAY MEETING 2023

App WW Cheah (MYO) subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Stewards considered the application for a stay which was allowed. The Appeal will be held at a date to be fixed.
