Mr Philip Anderson (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Cadet Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).
RACE 1 (R679) CLASS 5 – 1100M (SHORT COURSE C)
MY TOUCH stood flat-footed when the gates were released and failed to jump despite the efforts of Jockey J Shankar. The gelding will be required to pass 2 tests (1000M/vet from the starting stall tests at consecutive weekly intervals) before being declared to race again.
KING OF SEAL (HS Gill) jumped away awkwardly and shortly thereafter, shifted in, taking ARLO (S Ruzaini) in which resulted in TAKE A BOW (App W Faizal) having to be steadied and lost its position.
LITTLE MAN (App S Saddam) raced wide from the 800M until entering the home straight.
MILITARY STAR (App M Hanif) which was difficult to settle, had to be steadied on several occasions racing to the 600M to avoid the heels of IKTO (App KC Wong).
The Stewards questioned Trainer C Leck into ARLO’s improved performance as against its recent form. Trainer C Leck explained that the gelding had shown him little in his training and he elected to race him with blinkers which in his opinion, had contributed to the improved performance of the gelding today. His explanation was noted and he was warned in terms of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding inconsistent and unreliable running.

The Stewards questioned Jockey J Low and Trainer R Lines into the performance of FIORELLA. Trainer R Lines stated that as the mare had led at its last start and stopped, his instructions were to be midfield. The Stewards noted his explanation.
Jockey J Low stated that he got a good jump and settled midfield but from the 800M, he was taken wider and raced wider until entering the straight and when being put under pressure, the mare failed to respond to his riding and finished the race fairly. A post-race veterinary examination of FIORELLA revealed no significant finding.

FULL BET (SS Vanan) and BIRRALEE ROAD (App S Uzair) bumped when the gates were released.

App W Faizal, in the presence of his Master, Trainer L Moy, was shown the video of the incident and warned that he would be expected to exercise greater care when shifting ground under similar circumstances in future.
JP REGIS (M Zairi) was disappointed for a run at the 200M and 100M when CHINO DIABLO (App SU Lim) rolled in resulting in insufficient room for a clear room.

The Stewards were unable to blame any particular rider for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.
The Stewards questioned Jockey HS Gill into TWODOLLARMUPPET’S performance today. He stated that his instructions were to be mid-to-back and he decided to settle it back when the gelding showed no early pace. He said that it travelled well and he commenced to improve from the 600M and on entering the straight, the gelding failed to respond to his riding and finished the race off fairly.

The Stewards questioned Trainer PS Kumaran into the improved performance of JUST DUIT (S Anandan). He stated that the gelding was drawn well, better suited by today’s distance and the “good” going.

The Stewards, on Friday, 26 May 2017 at the Selangor Turf Club, concluded an inquiry into the riding of ARC CARA and took further evidence from Jockey M Ganeesh and Trainer S Dunderdale, the rider and Trainer of ARC CARA respectively.
Trainer S Dunderdale’s evidence was noted.
After reviewing the films and considering the evidence tendered, Jockey M Ganeesh was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that:
1. from the 300M to the 150M, in the Stewards opinion, he showed no initiative or purpose to obtain a clear run; and
2. at the 100M when the clear run was available to the gelding, he hesitated and failed to use sufficient vigour for some distance.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey M Ganeesh’s 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 Jockey M Ganeesh’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from 28 May 2017 and to expire on 27 September 2017, both dates inclusive.
