RACE 1 (R801)         CLASS 5(A) – 1400m(lc)         LABU LABU 2002 HANDICAP

CHERISH, a course scratching as it had fever, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

KEEN DRAGON (Z Khairil) jumped away awkwardly.

DARCI SUPER (App S Hafis) and ROSES FOR ME (HS Gill) bumped on jumping away.

PARAGON STAR (SU Lim) shifted in racing to the 800M, resulting in HAPPY VALLEY (App I Firdzriel) being taken inwards, making contact with ROSES FOR ME, resulting in ROSES FOR ME being taken in, causing D’GREAT TALENT (R Shafiq), which was over-racing, had to be steadied.

KEEN DRAGON raced wide from the 700M until entering the straight.

HAPPY VALLEY laid in under pressure passing the 100M.

Jockey WK Yan, the rider of MORE THAN FAST reported that his mount was not striding out freely.  A post-race veterinary examination of MORE THAN FAST which raced poorly, revealed no obvious abnormality.   The gelding will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

Post-race veterinary examinations of ROSES FOR ME and HAPPY VALLEY revealed no obvious abnormality.

At the conclusion of an inquiry today, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of PARAGON STAR pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that passing the 300M, he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of BM POWER (HK Cheng), resulting in BM POWER having to check and change course to obtain a clear running.

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s guilty plea, disciplinary record and mitigating factors.   He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days.

Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Panel of Stewards deferred the commencement of Jockey SU Lim’s suspension to take effect from Monday, 8th July 2019 and to expire on Saturday, 20th July 2019, both dates inclusive.  He was advised of his right of appeal (1.28pm).

At the conclusion of an inquiry today, App I Firdzriel, the rider of HAPPY VALLEY pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that racing to the 1200M, HAPPY VALLEY bumped ELAINE LOVER (KC Wong) on several occasions and shortly thereafter, he permitted his mount to shift inwards when insufficiently clear of  ELAINE LOVER, resulting in ELAINE LOVER having to check and lost its position.

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into consideration App I Firdzriel’s guilty plea and his disciplinary record.   As App I Firdzriel held an apprentice jockey licence at the Penang and Perak Turf Clubs only, he was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from Monday, 1st July 2019 and to expire on Saturday, 27th July 2019, both dates inclusive.   He was informed of his right of appeal (3.30pm).
