BULL AND BEAR, a course scratching as it had sustained a cut off fore, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Acting on a report from the Club Medical Officer that Jockey F Yap, the rider of GOOD LUCKY had injured his right arm and was unfit to ride, the Panel of Stewards ordered the withdrawal of GOOD LUCKY at 6.15pm.

After being withdrawn, GOOD LUCKY which was being held by a Handler on the inside track, lunged forward, knocked the Handler over and broke free.  The gelding then galloped back on the Number 2 track, broke through the railing at the crossing and ran towards the on-coming field.   At about the 200M, GOOD LUCKY ran back onto the field, resulting in TRIPLE COIN and LOYALTY’S ANGEL (S Anandan) being hampered.  As a consequence, SUVARNABHUMI (J Chuah) and THONG’S JIAQING (SU Lim) had to avoid the riderless GOOD LUCKY.

Over the concluding stages, LOYALTY’S ANGEL which was hampered earlier, laid in, resulting in TRIPLE COIN having to be steadied and changed course outwards to obtain a clear running.

Prior to the “All Clear” being given, the Panel of Stewards reviewed the films and called all Jockeys who rode in this race.  They were all shown the vision of the race and Jockeys S Anandan, App I Firdzriel, J Chuah and SU Lim were questioned.    After reviewing the vision, the Panel of Stewards were satisfied that the incident did not affect the results of the race and the Judges’ placings stood.

An inquiry into App I Firdzriel’s (TRIPLE COIN) use of the whip over the concluding stages will be held on a date to be fixed.

Jockey Z Khairil was exempted from weighing-in and was sent to hospital for observations.
