Mr Michael Castillo (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Nigel Chong (Cadet Stipendiary Steward).
RACE 1 (R143) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)
SUCCESS ALL THE WAY STAKES
App R Fakruddin was fined RM100/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to utilize his claim fully on RUBICON.
SATELLITE LEGEND (Lou Ho) was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon behind the barriers at the request of Jockey Lou Ho as he felt that there was something amiss with the gelding’s actions. The gelding was subsequently passed fit to take its place in the field.
The start was further delayed when RUBICON (App R Fakruddin) was fractious behind the barriers and was difficult to be loaded into the barriers.
Upon jumping, ANGEL OF MINE (App WK Lee) shifted outwards and SIXDAY SEVENNIGHT (Y Aify) shifted inwards, severely crowding JUST NAME IT (App SU Lim) for room.
RUBICON jumped outwards and made contact with VALENTINE BABY (J Shankar).
WENONA’S LEGACY (J De Souza) was caught racing wide in the early stages before progressing forward and gaining a position outside the leader approaching the 800M.
SATELLITE LEGEND and POWERFUL FIGHTER (App CK Khaw) were both caught racing wide throughout the event.
RAINBOW CENTRE (App AK Lim) was held up for a clear run entering the front straight behind runners in front.
Approaching the 200M, ANGEL OF MINE was held up for a run and had to shift out off the heels of RAINBOW CENTRE in order to gain a clear run.
Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 1
SLTC, Monday, 30 January 2017
Approaching the 200M, RUBICON which was held up for a run, had to be eased off the heels of JERAM GLORY (M Ganeesh).
Upon returning to scales, App AK Lim, the rider of RAINBOW CENTRE, reported that his horse raced greenly.
The Stewards opened an inquiry into the tactics that were adopted on JERAM GLORY (M
Ganeesh) particularly in the home straight. The Stewards’ concern was Jockey M Ganeesh failed to take a run to the outside of WENONA’S LEGACY in the home straight when there was an opportunity to do so, and he elected to stay to the inside where in the opinion of the Stewards, there would be insufficient room to obtain a clear run.
After taking extensive evidence from Jockey M Ganeesh and Trainer WC Lim and after viewing the gelding’s previous race starts in particular its racing manners, the Stewards were satisfied with the Trainer’s explanations and gave Jockey M Ganeesh the “benefit of the doubt” on this occasion. Jockey M Ganeesh was cautioned in the strongest terms that when clear runs present themselves, he should ensure he attempts to take them if possible to gain the best possible placing.

RACE 4 (R146) CLASS 4 – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)
GOOD FORTUNE STAKES
MOGAN’S PRIDE (F Yap) and LOVE GOES AROUND (C Goon) were both slow to begin.

The Stewards showed App L De Souza the footage of the incident and reminded him of his obligations, however in not taking further action, took into consideration the racing manners of his horse, STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT.
The Stewards questioned Jockey F Yap, the rider of MOGAN’S PRIDE, into the tactics that were adopted during this event. The Stewards were concerned with the vigour shown throughout and his whip use in the home straight. After viewing the patrol films and taking into account the evidence tendered at the inquiry, the Stewards did not take any action on this occasion against Jockey F Yap, however, reminded him of his obligations of what is required by the Panel of the Stipendiary Stewards in future.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 7 (R141) CLASS 5 – 1400M (LONG COURSE A), SUNDAY, 29 JANUARY 2017, SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2017
The Stewards took evidence from App M Hanif, in the presence of his Master, Trainer LN Danis. At the conclusion of the inquiry, App M Hanif, the rider of KABALI, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he allowed his horse to shift in whilst riding with the whip causing IT’S DONE MATE (App AK Lim) being interfered with and should have straightened his horse sooner than he did on this occasion.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App M Hanif’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App M Hanif’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 5 February 2017 and to expire on 12 February 2017, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (12:40pm).
