RACE 3 (MRA 0100) CLASS 4 (A) – 1100M
LEGEND WAR (S Ruzaini) and VETRI (AM Aizat) were scratched at 2.44pm under MRA Rule 12(2)(p). As the Trainers/Assistant Trainers concerned were not on course, an Inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.
GHOST MARI (App R Nuqman) was fractious in the barrier, reared up and stumbled on jumping. App R Nuqman subsequently reported that GHOST MARI was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination revealed that GHOST MARI returned lame off fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that GENERAL NIX (App P Haris) cast its near hind plate on returning and bled. The gelding will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3)(a)&(b) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
