RACE 1 (R757) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M
JET ACE, a course scratching as it was bruised near fore fetlock, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
MR RIGHT, which was up 17kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.
LEE’S SURPRISE (SS Vanan) was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 12.55pm as there was no suitable rider available to replace Jockey SS Vanan who had failed to arrive on-course within the prescribed time. Jockey SS Vanan was charged for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as read with MRA Rule 44(2) which states that every jockey shall be on-course at least one hour prior to the advertised time of his first carded engagement and was fined RM1,000/- due to his adverse history.
RED SAPPHIRE (App WW Cheah) cast its off fore plate behind the barriers and had to be re-shod, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

ACIPENSER (KC Wong) was slow into stride.
Racing to the 1150M, RED SAPPHIRE had to steady off the heels of MR RIGHT which was shifting in and shortly thereafter, SPARKLER (AK Lim) which was over-racing, shifted in, tightening RED SAPPHIRE onto VALBERRY (Z Khairil) which was taken in, resulting in MR MIURA (J Low) having to be checked and lose its position. The Stewards showed Jockeys Y Aify and AK Lim the vision of the incident and warned both jockeys that they should exercise more care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.
RICH AND SMART (HS Gill) commenced to shift in from the 200M and at the 100M, RED SAPPHIRE which was racing on the inside, had to steady to avoid its heels and shifted out for clear running. Jockey HS Gill was shown the vision of the incident and warned to exercise greater care in similar circumstances.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that VALBERRY returned lame near fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
A post-race veterinary examination of BLIXEM (S Salee) revealed that the gelding returned with a cut into its near fore and having cast its off fore plate.
Post-race veterinary examinations of EASTWOOD (C Goon) and D’GREAT EASY (R Shafiq) revealed no obvious abnormality. D’GREAT EASY which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
