Post-race veterinary examinations of AIR BOSS (Y Aify) and QIJI DIAMOND (F Yap) revealed no obvious abnormality.

At the conclusion of an Inquiry, App A Najib, the rider of GEORGETOWN, in the presence of his acting trainer, Trainer K Coetzee, pleaded guilty to a charge for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards under MRA Rule 44(10) in that, whilst riding GEORGETOWN which was laying in from about the 450M-mark till the winning post, he over-corrected resulting in him failing to ride with sufficient vigour and determination.

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration App A Najib’s guilty plea, riding record and mitigating factors.  He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) months effective Monday, 11th July 2022 and to expire on Monday, 10th October 2022, both days inclusive.   He was informed of his right of appeal (7.10pm).
