PERAK DECEMBER RACE MEETING 2024 – SATURDAY, 14TH DECEMBER 2024 – RACE 6(R1113)            CLASS 5(B) -1100M(sc)

The Panel of Stewards on Monday, 6th January 2025 concluded an Inquiry into the riding and handling of HORSE KING, trained by Trainer HS Lim and ridden by App H Haikal

Evidence were taken from Trainer HS Lim and App H Haikal, in the presence of his Master Trainer HY Cheng and after reviewing all angles of the video, App H Haikal, the rider of HORSE KING was found guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards.

The particulars of the charge are that:

  • From the 1000M-mark to the 400M-mark, he failed to make sufficient effort to improve his position to race behind PROVOCATEUR (HK Cheng), as per his riding instructions to be handy, thus preventing his mount to race to its best advantage.

  • From the 400M-mark to the end of the race, App H Haikal failed to ride with sufficient vigour and determination when his mount was running on strongly.

In assessing the penalty, the Panel of Stewards took into account App H Haikal’s riding records and mitigating factors.   App H Haikal was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) months to be served consecutively from the suspension incurred from his ride on ASIAN JET in Race 3 (R1110) on 14th December 2024, i.e. effective from 6th March 2025 and to expire on 5th May 2025, both dates inclusive.   In addition, he was fined a sum of RM20,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit: Twenty Thousand Only).  He was advised of his right of appeal (1.05pm).

Subsequently, App H Haikal lodged an appeal against the findings and severity of the penalty imposed for his ride on HORSE KING in the above race. The appeal proper will be held on a date to be fixed.
