RACE 7 (R1230) STAYER STAKES C – 2000M (SHORT COURSE A), THE ROYAL BANGKOK SPORTS CLUB TROPHY, SATURDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SEPTEMBER MEETING 2019
The Stewards, on 4 October 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the tactics and the riding of runners in the above race with the exception of the winner, SING EXPRESS (HS Gill). Evidence was taken from Jockey Y Aify and Trainer L Moy (TARZAN), Jockey J Low and Trainer SY Lim (SUNNY), Jockey KC Wong (ENCOSTA ZONE), Jockey B Pinheiro (MOONSHINE MISTRESS), Trainer S Edwards, Jockey S Ruzaini (NOVA SPIRIT), Jockey AK Lim (SHANGHAI NIGHTS), App A Suriya (WEATHER MAN), Trainer C Leck and Jockey R Shafiq and Trainer S Dunderdale (FIRST SUCCESS).
The Stewards relied on first extrapolated data of sectional times of individual runners collated from the patrol videos of the race. It was established that several runners had limited or no experience over the distance of 2000M. Whilst the sectional times run by SING EXPRESS (HS Gill) in winning were substantial, his winning time was outside the track record for 2000M (short course). Primarily, the Stewards focused on the reason that the entire field sat some 20 lengths behind SING EXPRESS between the 1000M to the 800M.
The Stewards were satisfied that after runners were put under pressure at this stage, that one horse, FIRST SUCCESS (R Shafiq) was tiring from having been checked badly at the 1600M, and of the remainder, four (4) horses were being ridden forward with two (2) horses impeded for clear running at this stage.
The Stewards considered that they could not substantiate a charge against any individual rider for failing to improve their positions in the middle stages, however, issued a reprimand to Jockey S Ruzaini (NOVA SPIRIT) and Jockey Y Aify (TARZAN) which were running third and fourth passing the 800M, for failing to attempt to make ground when in a position to do so.
