GENERAL REPORT(S)
RACE 5 (R933) CLASS 4(B) – 1300M, SATURDAY, 20TH NOVEMBER 2021
1ST DAY, PENANG NOVEMBER MEETING 2021
The Stewards today (21st November 2021) concluded their Inquiry into the running and handling of KRATOS (App P Haris). After taking further evidence from App P Haris in the presence of his Employing Master, Trainer HS Lim, and Trainer CC Ooi, the trainer of KRATOS, Senior Track Rider Razali bin Musa (witness for App P Haris) and reviewing the films, App P Haris was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(8) as read with MRA Rule 44(8)(a) in that whilst riding KRATOS in the above race, he failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that KRATOS was given full opportunity of obtaining the best possible placing.
The particulars of the charge were that:-
-
he sat against his horse at approximately the 500M for some distance;
-
upon entering the straight, he had a strong hold of his horse with his right hand;
-
from the 300M, he unbalanced KRATOS by bouncing up and down on his horse whilst continuing to restrain it;
-
he feigned the use of his whip on several occasions in the straight.
When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of this case, App P Haris’s riding record and his points of mitigation. After considering the provisions of MRA Rule 44(8)(a), App P Haris was disqualified for a period of one (1) year with immediate effect from Sunday, 21st November 2021 and to expire on Sunday, 20th November 2022, both days inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (5.45pm).
