Trainer EP Tan and App S Shazmin were questioned regarding the riding of MOMENT OF JUSTICE. Trainer EP Tan said that he had instructed the horse to be ridden from mid-to-back position as it was its normal racing pattern. App S Shazmin confirmed those instructions but advised the gelding had shown no response on his riding and niggling, and he had attempted to improve his riding mid-race. Further, he was impeded and unable to secure clear passage in the straight which compounded when a gap had closed at the 200M. He further stated that this was his normal level of vigour albeit that it had been curtailed due to being impeded in the straight. The Stewards advised App S Shazmin that they were dissatisfied with his level of vigour, however, giving the elements of the race, they did not believe they could substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules.

On inquiry, Jockey KC Tham, the rider of UNDER OATH, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding UNDER OATH, he allowed his horse to continue to shift in causing MYSTERIOUS CAPTAIN to be checked from his heels.

The Stewards inquired as to the reason why FORSA ECLIPSE had not led. Trainer F Maynard advised that he had instructed that FORSA ECLIPSE to be ridden in a forward manner but not to be locked in a speed battle. He was very satisfied that App A Nazir had been able to get the gelding to settle early in the race and be in a positon of following the leader. Also it had been taken outwards on straightening but had failed to run on. App A Nazir confirmed the instructions and advised that FORSA ECLIPSE had settled for him easily and he was comfortable with the positioning and the fact that the gelding was travelling well within close proximity of the lead. The Stewards noted the explanations.

On inquiry, App R Nuqman (ANSU), in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he continued to ride his mount out when shifting outwards from the 200M, causing SELANGOR STAR to be carried outwards and TOP GUN to be carried outwards and  clipping the heels of TRINITY GRACE, thereby dipping.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App R Nuqman’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 27 March 2023 and to expire on 8 April 2023, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.

The Stewards, 5 March 2023 (Sunday), concluded an inquiry into Jockey S Ruzaini’s riding of INHERIT in this race. Further evidence was taken from Jockey S Ruzaini and Trainer HY Cheng, the rider and trainer of INHERIT respectively. 

After considering the evidence and also reviewing the performance of INHERIT, the Stewards found Jockey S Ruzaini 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 the manner in which he rode with regards to his arm action, in particular not allowing his horse sufficient room with his left arm to be able to gallop properly.

The Stewards, on 5 March 2023 (Sunday), inquired into App R Nuqman’s riding of DIAMOND SET in the above race. Evidence was taken from App R Nuqman, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, BT Lim and Trainer EP Tan, the Trainer of DIAMOND SET.

It was established that given its wide draw, the intention was for DIAMOND SET to be ridden off the pace. App R Nuqman had positioned the gelding behind the leaders as he had not wished for it to travel wide. It was evident also that he had put DIAMOND SET under pressure near the 600M when applying the whip. The Stewards noted that the gelding was inclined to lay inwards in the straight, requiring him to straighten on two (2) occasions.

 After considering this evident, the Stewards took no further action.

Trainer S Hamilton advised that MARCUS ANTONIUS (S Salee) which finished 8^th, was racing first-up for 9 months, had pulled up slightly short in its action. She would have the gelding fully vetted and present the finding to the Stewards before being entered to race again.

---

RACE 4 (R224) Class 4a – 1300M (C4 lc), SUNDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2023

Trainer S Dunderdale advised that he was disappointed with SUSPICIOUS MIND (J Low) performance in running 8^th, suggesting only that being trapped wide from its outside barrier after being bumped heavily on jumping (see Stewards’ Report), had taken its toll on the gelding. Further, that SUSPICIOUS MIND was racing in a more experienced Class 4 field as opposed to all its previous Maiden performances.  As SUSPICIOUS MIND had pulled up well, it was his intention to continue its training regime but advised that it would not start the gelding for approximately three weeks.

---

RACE 12 (R232) Class 5b – 1200M (C4 sc), SUNDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2023, SELANGOR TURF CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING 2023

Assistant Trainer Nagarajan a/l Supromaniam advised that SUPER LINE (App R Nuqman) had pulled up well after finishing 8^th beaten 7.5 lengths. He believed the impediment (See Stewards’ Report) mid-raced, after which SUPER LINE was then obliged to race wide, had affected the gelding’s performance. He intended to continue its training regime and would not start it in a race for approximately three weeks.

3	BIG KING	Withdrawn at 11:48am: Sustained multiple injuries on the off hind leg at the pre-race holding yard – Vet exam.
4	READY TO SEVENLUCK (App S Sia)	Rider questioned regarding the manner in which he had ridden the gelding by leading in a large margin in the middle stages. *(See Report).
5	SUCCESS STREET (S Ruzaini)	Raced wide in the middle stages.

The Stewards questioned App S Sia, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, R Lines. Trainer R Lines stated that he had instructed for READY TO SEVENLUCK to be ridden forward and hopefully would be able to secure an easy lead. The gelding was renowned for its recalcitrant manner and he was comfortable that App S Sia had been able to get the gelding to jump well and lead easily. App S Sia stated that READY TO SEVENLUCK had jumped well, given its previous poor stall history and he had found himself leading easily. He had not urged the gelding but after travelling well in stride, had attempted to steady READY TO SEVENLUCK but the gelding had raced very strongly. He was aware of the margin he was leading and had taken a second hold near the 1300M but was unable to restrain the gelding.

In considering this, the Stewards accepted the explanation, however, advised App S Sia that in similar circumstances, he should attempt some alternative strategies in riding his horses to secure an even pace.

Jockey HS Gill and App S Shazmin were both examined by the Club Doctor who stood them down from their riding engagements for the remainder of the races today.

Objections were lodged by Trainer S Dunderdale, the Trainer of SEMANTAN PRINCE (App T Ammar), placed fourth, against TRINITY GENERAL (KC Tham), being declared the winner, and GOLDEN FLAME (App R Nuqman), placed third, alleging interference over the final stages. The Panel of Stewards dismissed the objections.

A Stewards’ objection was lodged under the provisions of MRA Rule 124(3) on behalf of GOLDEN FLAME (App R Nuqman), placed third, against TRINITY GENERAL (KC Tham), being declared the winner, alleging interference over the final stages, given that both horses were trained by Trainer KC Tiang. The Panel of Stewards did not uphold the objection.

On inquiry, Jockey KC Tham, the rider of TRINITY GENERAL, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that over the final 50M, TRINITY GENERAL (KC Tham) was permitted to veer out quickly and cannoned into GOLDEN FLAME (App R Nuqman) which in turn shifted ground, bumping heavily with SEMANTAN PRINCE (App T Ammar). 

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey KC Tham’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 6 March 2023 and to expire on 12 March 2023, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
