RACE 2 (R493) CLASS 5 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
MITAVITE SUSTAINA STAKES

The start of this race was delayed several minutes when LITTLE LION (HS Gill) proved difficult to be loaded into the barriers. The Stewards ordered the gelding to be loaded riderless and loaded straight in. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

GOLDHILL PRINCESS (App T Krisna) stood flat-footed, refused to jump and was very slow to begin. Trainer R Lines was advised that the mare will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

Upon jumping, SHAHPUR JAT (J Shankar) was crowded for room when D’GREAT VICTORY (App S Thai Yang) jumped outwards and AMI ELEVEN (J Low) jumped inwards and as a result, lost some ground.

Shortly after the start, LUCKY SIXTYSIX (S Sandana) received a bump on the inside of TILSWORTH MALI (TK Barnabas).

AMI ELEVEN had a tendency to over-race in the early stages and got its head up.

MR EPIC (HK Cheng) and ACE SURPRISE (SS Vanan) were both caught racing wide throughout the race.

LUCKY SIXTYSIX had a tendency to lay in over the concluding stages and had to be stopped and straightened by its rider.

The Stewards questioned Trainer MP Thwaites and Jockey S Vanan into the disappointing performance of ACE SURPRISE. Trainer MP Thwaites could not offer any tangible reason for the horse’s performance today, however, believed the horse is better suited over the 1300M than in today’s 1200M. Jockey SS Vanan stated that ACE SURPRISE was under pressure throughout the event and he used his whip in an endeavour to improve his position, however, it failed to respond to his riding. A post-race veterinary and endoscopic examinations of ACE SURPRISE revealed that it was lame near fore and returned with upper respiratory tract abnormality respectively, and as such will be required to undergo an endoscopic examination (after 2 weeks) at rest and thereafter pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again. ACE SURPRISE was impounded.

RACE 3 (R494) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
MITAVITE CUP

Upon jumping, BLOSSOMS SEQUEL (App L De Souza) jumped outwards and as a result, KUTTNER (HK Cheng) was inconvenienced.

MY POWER (CK Tan) jumped outwards and made contact with KUTTNER.

SPIN FIRE (L Sofhan) and TRUMPS UP (M Zairi) were both caught racing wide throughout the event.

Approaching the 200M, DANCING TSURU (App KC Wong) shifted in under pressure when being struck with the whip and as a result, MISTER MIYAGI (S Anandan) clipped heels and blundered. The Stewards in not taking action against App KC Wong, took into consideration he was making an attempt to straighten the gelding.

KUTTNER shifted wider entering the front straight and laid in under pressure over the final 150M resulting in the rider having to stop and straighten. A post-race veterinary examination of KUTTNER revealed no significant finding.

Jockey Lou Ho, when questioned in relation to his ride on CAPTAIN JAZZ over the concluding stages, explained to the Stewards that he lost his off side rein over the final 200M as in his opinion, the gelding was running straight and in an endeavour to win the race, he failed to pick up his off side rein and in his opinion, it may have lost some momentum had he done so. The Stewards were satisfied with his explanations and noted his comments for future reference.

The Stewards questioned rider Jockey S Anandan, the rider of MISTER MIYAGI, App SU Lim, the rider of REMEMBER ME, App T Krisna, the rider of HIGH TROJA and Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of BADCOE into the reasons why MISTER MIYAGI and REMEMBER ME had to be severely checked at approximately the 1050M.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of BADCOE, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1050M, he shifted in when insufficiently clear of HIGH TROJA resulting in that horse being taken in onto REMEMBER ME and MISTER MIYAGI. This resulted in REMEMBER ME and MISTER MIYAGI having to be severely checked, and REMEMBER ME clipped heels and blundered.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Ruzaini’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of three (3) Malaysian race days with effect from 17 April 2017 and to expire on 30 April 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:10pm).
