STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT

SELANGOR TURF CLUB MARCH MEETING 2019

SUNDAY, 10 MARCH 2019

STATE OF TRACK: Good

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

Mr Marcus J Weedon (Acting Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

RACE 1 (R308) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

Jockey R Shafiq admitted a breach under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) as read with MRA Rule 107(9) in that he accepted the ride on SOKOR GEDEBE which was allotted to carry 52.5kgs, which is below his stated normal riding weight of 54kgs. However, he did not apply or instruct Trainer M Sukri to apply to the Stewards for overweight to be carried under the provisions of MRA Rule 107(9).

Jockey R Shafiq was fined RM500/-. As the Stewards considered that no other suitable rider was available, he was allowed to ride SOKOR GEDEBE at the weight of 54kgs.

MEGUSTO (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin.

At about the 1000M, ANAK WARRIOR (J Mallyon) became awkwardly placed on the heels of SMIDDY BYRNE (App S Uzair) causing Jockey J Mallyon to check and shift inside.

At about the 300M, NASI LEMAK (R Rueven) was inclined to lay inwards.

At the 200M, SEMIFREDDO (HS Gill) laid inwards under pressure and briefly crowded HAHA BABE (S Anandan).

Approaching the 100M, RED EMPRESS (Y Aify) was denied a clear run on the heels of PHANTASOS (S Ruzaini) and MAGICAL TALENT (App WW Cheah), and had to be eased and shifted outside to obtain a clear passage.

Jockey SU Lim, the rider of VALERIUS, was observed to use his whip forward off the shoulder in the forehand position in the last 100M. The Stewards deemed this to be unnecessary and he was warned that a repetition of such in future may lead to action being taken.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of PHANTASOS (S Ruzaini), Trainer C Leck stated that he had varied the gelding’s training regime to freshen him before this race. He also considered today’s field to be weaker than which PHANTASOS had previously faced.

RACE 2 (R309) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

RAMIFICATIONS (App A Zaimuddin) jumped awkwardly inwards and had to be eased and corrected.

SUPER EIGHT (O Chavez) had to be urged in the early stages.

At about the 900M, LION CITY GOLD (App CK Khaw) rolled inwards on the bend causing ACME (App A Suriya) to be eased in order to avoid his heels.

LOVE GOES AROUND (App N Varmah) raced wide throughout, and laid outwards approaching the 400M. App N Varmah reported that his saddle had slipped backwards, and therefore his ability to control his mount was limited.

Approaching the 400M, ELEGANT DANCER (HS Gill) was disappointed for a run on the heels of LIM’S RANGER (Y Aify).

At about the 200M, RANT AND RAVE (J De Souza) was denied a clear run as the gap between LIM’S RANGER on his inside and SUPER GOOD (SU Lim) on his outside narrowed. After reviewing the vision of this incident, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

At about the 100M, SEA HORIZON (App L De Souza) was denied a run on the heels of RED SAPPHIRE (App WW Cheah).

RACE 3 (R310) OPEN MAIDEN (WFA) – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

RUNNING FLAME (R Shafiq) reared slightly on jumping and was then tightened between HYDRANT (S Ruzaini), which jumped outwards, and E SUPREME (S Anandan).

ASIA (App CK Khaw) laid outwards shortly after the jump and had to be corrected.

READY TO RULE (App L De Souza) was slow to begin and had to be urged to recover.

SUN COIN (SU Lim) laid outwards under pressure from the 200M.

Jockey R Shafiq reported that RUNNING FLAME, which suffered interference at the jump, over-raced in the early stages. RUNNING FLAME was also inconvenienced at the 400M by D’GREAT RUN (HK Cheng) which laid outwards.

Jockey R Rueven, the rider of INDOMITABLE SPEED, reported that his horse raced greenly.

RACE 4 (R311) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

DETERMINETOSTRIKE (App L De Souza) jumped awkwardly and then threw its head up. When questioned, App L De Souza stated that the gelding, which was wearing Blinkers for the first time, was frightened when he brushed the quarters of ELEGENT (R Shafiq) shortly after the jump, and shied away. He further explained that having got a bad jump, he found himself with no opportunity to improve his position in the early stages and was therefore positioned well-back. He commenced his effort at about the 600M whereupon DETERMINETOSTRIKE responded just fairly and kept on at one pace. He also reported that DETERMINETOSTRIKE laid outwards under pressure, but as this took him towards the outside where a clear run was available, he did not attempt to correct.

MORALES (R Rueven) and D’GREAT WALL (HS Gill) were slow to find its stride.

Approaching the 1000M, SEGAR THE BEST (App A Zaimuddin) laid inwards causing TAUROS (Y Aify) to be taken inwards towards DETERMINETOSTRIKE which was crowded.

At about the 400M, MORALES laid inwards and brushed with TAUROS.

At about the 300M, NOVA BATTLE (HK Cheng) shifted outwards in response to SEGAR THE BEST laying outwards towards him and in doing so, NOVA BATTLE brushed with DETERMINETOSTRIKE.

Between the 200M and the 100M, JUBILATION (App A Suriya) shifted outwards under pressure.

App A Suriya who rode his 10th winner on JUBILATION in this race, would only be entitled to claim 3kgs allowance as from Monday, 11 March 2019.

RACE 5 (R312) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (SHORT COURSE A)

LIM’S GREETING (App A Zaimuddin) was difficult to load and observed to be kicking out behind the barrier. Trainer BT Lim was advised that the Stewards placed a warning on the gelding’s barrier manners, and action may be taken unless LIM’S GREETING improves in this regard.

BULLISH LUCK (Y Aify) was bumped inwards by D’GREAT HAWK (App CK Khaw) at the jump, and was slow to begin.

SNOW DANCER (S Anandan) had to be urged in the early stages.

ASHQAR (S Ruzaini) which was drawn outside, raced wide throughout.

Approaching the 300M, D’GREAT HAWK was briefly denied a run on the heels of BULLISH LUCK.

LIM’S GREETING raced wide throughout. When questioned, App A Zaimuddin, the rider of LIM’S GREETING, stated that he would have preferred to go forward in the early stages and thus avoid being trapped wide. However, he was hampered in his efforts to do so as the bit was only in partial contact with the gelding’s mouth. A post-race veterinary examination of LIM’S GREETING revealed that the gelding returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

HAPPY GHOST which could not be boxed, was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 3:32pm. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

MERCHANT MARINE (App N Varmah) stood still as the gates opened and was slow to begin.

At about the 1200M, SRIKANDI (R Shafiq) was eased to avoid the heels of GOOD PEOPLE (SU Lim) which was taken inwards by CHAMPION FACE (HK Cheng). Jockeys HK Cheng and SU Lim, the riders of CHAMPION FACE and GOOD PEOPLE respectively, were both shown the vision of the incident and warned that they must take greater care to keep their mounts straight in the early stages and leave sufficient space for runners on their inside.

GOOD PEOPLE which was beaten 16 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 7 (R314) CLASS 4 (B) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Acting on veterinary advice that CASEY (S Ruzaini) had become cast in the barrier, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 3:59pm. CASEY will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again.

REAL MEAN (J De Souza) laid inwards on jumping causing LIM’S BATTLE (HS Gill) to be taken inwards.

APOLLO (App CK Khaw) was slow to begin and forfeited ground.

At about the 700M, WILLIAM KING (App A Suriya) was disappointed for a run on the heels of MACHUNG STAR (App A Zaimuddin) and was then unable to improve his position and repeatedly denied clear running until about the 500M. At about the 500M, WILLIAM KING (App A Suriya) was shifted outwards to obtain a clear passage and in doing so, brushed with WINNING STAR (HK Cheng).

REAL MEAN which was following WILLIAM KING, was disappointed for a run at about the 600M.

MACHUNG STAR which was beaten 17 1/4 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

When questioned about the improved performance of BACK TO THE TOWERS (SU Lim), Trainer C Leck stated that the gelding had suffered interference and been shuffled back during the early stages in his last start, and had then finished off the race disappointingly. He explained that BACK TO THE TOWERS was down in grade today and he considered this race to be significantly weaker.

RACE 8 (R315) CLASS 3 – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

Acting on veterinary advice that RACER KING (S Anandan) had sustained multiple skin lacerations to both of its hind legs (float injury), the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of the gelding at 3:05pm. RACER KING will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

MAJOR TOM (App N Varmah) stood still as the barrier opened and forfeited significant ground. When MAJOR TOM eventually did consent to jump, he shifted abruptly inwards causing the rider to become unbalanced. The gelding will be required to pass a 1000M/vet (from the starting stall) test before being declared to race again to establish that it is capable in jumping on terms.

STAR INVINCIBLE (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly.

At about the 1400M, D’GREAT VULTURE (App CK Khaw) laid inwards and briefly crowded I AM THE BOSS (App L De Souza). BROTHER WIND (R Rueven) which was following D’GREAT VULTURE, also laid inwards and thereafter commenced to over-race when placed in restricted room by FIRST DANCE (S Muniandy). Jockey S Muniandy was shown the vision of this incident and warned by the Stewards to leave sufficient space to runners on his inside under similar circumstances in future.

At about the 800M and the 700M, LA FAMILIA (R Shafiq) which was over-racing, had to be sharply checked to avoid running onto the heels of I AM THE BOSS as the pace of the race slowed.

At the 500M, OUT OF NOWHERE (Y Aify) was disappointed for a run on the heels of STAR INVINCIBLE and when shifted outwards to obtain a clear passage, brushed with LISTEN (J Mallyon). In doing so, OUT OF NOWHERE became briefly unbalanced and laid outwards between the 500M and the 400M.

When questioned on the tactics employed on LA FAMILIA (R Shafiq) which had led all the way when winning its previous start, Trainer SB Tan stated that in his opinion that today’s race was much stronger being a Class 3 rather than Class 4, and he felt that the gelding would not benefit from being put under pressure in the early stages. He therefore instructed Jockey R Shafiq to obtain a forward-midfield position but not to challenge for the lead. The Stewards noted his explanation but warned him that in future he must comply with his responsibilities under MRA Rule 35(8) which relates to changes of riding tactics and responsibilities of Trainers to notify the Stewards of such.

RACE 9 (R316) CLASS 4 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE A)

GOLD MOSA (App CK Khaw) was slow to find its stride.

MOON BABY (HS Gill) was slow to begin but soon recovered to take a prominent position. MOON BABY over-raced in the early and middle stages and did not settle when established in the lead. At the 100M, MOON BABY commenced to compound, laid outwards and became awkwardly placed on the heels of HERO CHAMPION (J Mallyon), forcing the rider to ease in the concluding stages.

At the 500M, VOLANTE GENERAL (App A Suriya) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running and in doing so, laid outwards, became unbalanced, and negotiated the bend with difficulty.

At the 300M and again at the 250M, VOLANTE GENERAL laid inwards under pressure and brushed with GREENSTONE (Y Aify) which attempted the same run.

BLOOD ROYAL (App L De Souza) laid inwards under pressure between the 200M and the 100M.

At the 50M, HIGH TENSILE (R Rueven) laid outwards under pressure causing HERO CHAMPION to take evasive action, shift outwards and bump VOLANTE GENERAL outwards. GOLD MOSA, which was following VOLANTE GENERAL, had to be checked to avoid its heels. Jockey R Rueven was shown the vision of this incident and warned that he must take greater care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future.

Jockey J De Souza, the rider of SACRED EMPIRE, reported that at the 400M he shifted his mount inwards to obtain a run to the inside of MR HOPKINS (S Ruzaini) but shortly afterwards, was forced to check as MR HOPKINS laid inwards and subsequently, from the 250M, was persistently denied clear running as MR HOPKINS shifted outwards in front of him. He stated that due to the interference, he was never able to fully test his mount.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of MR HOPKINS, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that at about the 300M, he allowed his mount to shift inwards when not clear of SACRED EMPIRE which had to be checked.

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 (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 11 March 2019 and to expire on 17 March 2019, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:15pm).

RACE 10 (R317) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)

TAKE A BOW (App S Uzair) was slow to find its stride.

Prior to the race, Trainer C Leck, the trainer of FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya), informed the Stewards that the gelding, which was racing in different gear today with Blinkers instead of Pacifiers, would be ridden forward. FRENCH VINTAGE jumped only fairly, and App A Suriya had to urge his mount to obtain a forward position at the 1000M.

Approaching the 1000M, FRENCH VINTAGE laid outwards, and brushed with CHAIRMAN WIND (R Shafiq), in response to GHOST AFFAIR (HS Gill) on his inside shifting outwards.

At about the 400M, PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was disappointed for a run on the heels of TAIL SPIN (App CK Khaw) before being shifted inwards to obtain clear running.

SCORPION KING (S Ruzaini) laid inwards under pressure approaching the 200M.

The Stewards inquired into the improved performance and the different tactics employed on TAIL SPIN today. Trainer M Sukri explained that he had deliberately given the gelding a break of 8 weeks since its last race. He was confident that TAIL SPIN would race with enthusiasm and therefore instructed App CK Khaw to get the best jump possible and sit wherever his mount was comfortable. In the event, TAIL SPIN was able to lead without being put under serious pressure. The Stewards accepted the explanations tendered but advised Trainer M Sukri that he must comply with MRA Rule 35(8) which relates to changes in riding tactics and the responsibility of Trainers to inform the Stewards of such. They also drew Trainer M Sukri’s attention of the provision of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding “in and out running”, and warned him that TAIL SPIN’s future performances will be monitored.

RACE 11 (R318) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE A)

RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN (J Mallyon) reared on jumping and was slow to begin.

VELLENEX GENERAL (S Ruzaini) jumped inwards causing ELF’S DREAM (App WW Cheah) and ONCE A THIEF (App S Uzair) to be crowded between VELLENEX GENERAL and LIM’S ACTION (App A Zaimuddin), which jumped outwards. ONCE A THIEF lost significant ground as a result. After reviewing the vision of this incident, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.

Approaching the 1000M, VELLENEX GENERAL, which was over-racing, shifted inwards and crowded LIM’S ACTION.

At the 800M, LIM’S ACTION was tightened between PERCIUS on his inside and ELF’S DREAM on his outside, became unbalanced, and shifted abruptly outwards, causing ONCE A THIEF, which was following, to take evasive action. RUFFLE THE RUFFIAN, was eased to avoid contact with ONCE A THIEF’s heels. An inquiry into this incident will be held at a date to be fixed.

The Stewards inquired into possible interference between ELITE GUSTAVO (App CK Khaw) and PERCIUS (R Rueven); firstly approaching the 250M and secondly, at the 200M.

After reviewing the vision of these incidents and taking evidence from App CK Khaw and Jockey R Rueven, they determined that interference had taken place at the 250M when ELITE GUSTAVO shifted inwards causing PERCIUS, which was following, to change direction. The Stewards warned App CK Khaw, in the presence of his Master Trainer R Lines, that he must take greater care to keep straight under similar circumstances in future. They noted Jockey R Rueven’s evidence that the interference he received at the 200M was caused by VELLENEX GENERAL laying inwards as he shifted outwards in an attempt to obtain a clear run.

When questioned regarding the improved performance of VELLENEX GENERAL, Trainer C Leck stated that the gelding had not been suited by a shorter distance of 1100M on its last start. He added that VELLENEX GENERAL has lost a significant amount of weight since its last start on 25 February 2019 and was 20kgs lighter today. The Stewards observed that VELLENEX GENERAL has never previously won a race when its body weight was greater than 487kgs, and it was 485kgs today. They noted the explanation tendered.
