The Stewards showed App L De Souza, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, the film of the incident and warned him that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future. The Stewards dealt with this incident separately to the incident shortly afterwards which was caused by UNION JAC (Z Khairil) becoming unbalanced on the inside of PISCES JET (App J Daniel).

At the conclusion of an inquiry, App J Daniel, the rider of PISCES JET, in the presence of his Acting Master, Trainer L Moy, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that approaching the 1100M, he did not leave sufficient space for UNION JAC (Z Khairil) to his inside when moving forward to the lead.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App J Daniel’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. The Stewards also took into consideration the evidence of Jockey Z Khairil, the rider of UNION JAC, who stated that his mount was over-racing on the inside of PISCES JET and it was his intention to slot in behind to obtain cover. He further stated that UNION JAC shied away from the rail which contributed to him clipping the heels of App J Daniel’s mount.  

Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App J Daniel’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 24 December 2017 and to expire on 31 December 2017, both dates inclusive.
