GENERAL REPORT – SLTC
RACE 10 (R1014) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE A), SUNDAY, 11 AUGUST 2019, SELANGOR TURF CLUB AUGUST MEETING 2019
The Stewards, on 13 August 2019 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the riding of NOVA DASHING. Evidence was taken from Jockey AK Lim and Trainer S Siva, the rider and trainer of NOVA DASHING respectively.
When questioned, Trainer S Siva advised that after NOVA DASHING’s win on 23 June 2019, the horse had injured its forehead and had subsequently missed considerable work for about 9 months thereafter. Further, it had been ascertained that NOVA DASHING suffered from ulcers and had been medicated accordingly. He also said that he expected NOVA DASHING would take up a prominent position and hopefully lead, although having a wide barrier. He had been very disappointed in the performance of the gelding.
After assessing NOVA DASHING’s work regime and particularly its last piece of work on Wednesday, 31 July 2019, the Stewards instructed that NOVA DASHING be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having performed poorly. Further, both Trainer S Siva and Jockey AK Lim would be expected to give correct and concise evidence to all Stipendiary Stewards’ inquiries in future.
TUESDAY, 13 AUGUST 2019, SLTC OFFICIAL BARRIER TRIAL
CHAMPION FACE which played up in the barrier, will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.
