The Panel of Stewards questioned Jockey J Low, the rider of REDOUBT and Trainer HY Cheng, the trainer of REDOUBT into its performance today. Trainer HY Cheng explained that his instructions were to be midfield so as the horse could finish the race off as compared to its last start, where it led and weakened over the concluding stages.
Jockey J Low confirmed the instructions were to be midfield. He stated that on jumping away, REDOUBT was awkward and shortly after the start, brushed PERFECT COMMANDO (KC Wong), resulting in his mount being unable to hold his position and lost ground.
Jockey J Low further stated that although he was able to sit midfield as instructed, but was placed further back than he had anticipated. From the 200M, when he commenced to ride with the whip, REDOUBT failed to respond. The Panel of Stewards noted the explanations tendered. A post-race veterinary examination of REDOUBT revealed no obvious abnormality. Trainer HY Cheng was advised to report back to the Stewards, should he find anything amiss with the horse during the week.

Prior to the ‘All Clear’ being given, an objection was lodged by App S Saddam, the rider of FRANKLY MY DEAR, placed 2nd against KING POWER (CK Tan), the winner on grounds of alleged interference passing the 150M. After considering all the evidence, the Panel of Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the results of the race. The objection was overruled and the results stood.
The Panel of Stewards questioned Trainer P Lee, the trainer of KING POWER into the improved performance of KING POWER today. He stated that the gelding was suited by today’s soft going. His explanations were noted.
At the conclusion of an inquiry today, Jockey CK Tan, the rider of KING POWER pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding KING POWER, he permitted his mount to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of FRANKLY MY DEAR (App S Saddam), resulting in FRANKLY MY DEAR having to check and shift out over the heels of KING POWER for clear running at about the 150M.
When deciding on a penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into account his riding record and mitigating factors. Jockey CK Tan was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Penang race days, as he holds a licence to ride in Penang and Perak Turf Clubs only. His suspension will take effect from Monday, 28th September 2020 and to expire on Sunday, 11th October 2020, both dates inclusive. He was informed of his right of appeal (5.30pm).
