RACE 1 (R303) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M
SUPER GOOD (KC Wong) was slow into stride and shortly after the start, was tightened for room by D’GREAT LORD (J De Souza) and was unable to hold its position.
SUPER GOOD was held up for clear running over the final 50M when GHOST SPIRIT (SS Vannan) rolled out.
Jockey K Eirwan, the rider of BLACK GHOST, reported that his saddle slipped backwards from the 600M.
App S Saddam, the rider of SUPREME SASSO, reported that his mount was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding revealed no obvious abnormality.
Post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT LORD and SUPER GOOD revealed no obvious abnormality.
The Stewards questioned App CK Khaw in the presence of his Employing Trainer R Lines and Trainer S Siva, the trainer of LION CITY GOLD into that mare’s performance today. Trainer S Siva stated that his instructions were to get a good jump and settle mid-field. App CK Khaw stated that from barrier 1, the mare began well and he was able to settle mid-field as instructed. He had elected to ride quietly in the middle stages so as to enable LION CITY GOLD to finish the race off. The Stewards noted the explanations and advised App CK Khaw that he must ride his mounts out in a manner so as to leave no room for query.

Trainer HS Lim was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours for RACING TALENT (App CC Foo).
The Stewards permitted Jockey HK Cheng to replace Jockey HS Gill as the rider of BAOYE CHAMPION as the latter was medically stood down by the Club Medical Officer.
BAOYE CHAMPION was slow to begin and shortly after the start, spun around and dislodged Jockey HK Cheng and ran back riderless into the field.
Prior to the “All Clear”, the Stewards reviewed the vision of the race and spoke to Trainer S Edwards, the trainer of SHENBAO and Trainer S Cook, the trainer of LADY LAKSHMI. The Stewards also interviewed Jockey S Muniandy, the rider of WILDFIRE and also App P Haris, the rider of SHENBAO. After viewing the video, it was established that after dislodging Jockey HK Cheng shortly after the start, BAOYE CHAMPION turned back into the field riderless. At about the 50M, BAOYE CHAMPION ran in behind SHENBAO and in doing so, caused WILDFIRE to be checked. After reviewing the video, the Stewards were satisfied that the placings were not affected. The “All Clear” was given. BAOYE CHAMPION will be required to pass two (2) starting stall tests (at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again.
