RACE 6 (R1049) SUPREME B (SW) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)
EL TORDILLO (R Rueven) was slow into stride.
In the early stages, SOUTHERN MAN (J Low) raced fiercely approaching the 500M, laid outwards and blundered when striking the heels of LISBOA STAR (J De Souza). The Stewards inquired into the tractability of SOUTHERN MAN in light of the fact that the horse has significantly impaired vision of the right eye.
After questioning Jockey J Low and Trainer HY Cheng, the Stewards permitted SOUTHERN MAN to continue racing at Selangor Turf Club but that each performance would be reviewed specifically related to the gelding’s tractability.
DUTROW (S Ruzaini) laid in considerably over the final 150M.
EL TORDILLO was blocked and had to be taken outwards across the heels of GALILEO’S APPROACH (App S Uzair) near the 150M.

RACE 7 (R1050) SUPREME B – 1400M (LONG COURSE)
In early stages PREMIUM RUSH (J Shankar) was reluctant to stride out and had to be urged by Jockey J Shankar who stated that he had eased near 1000M when crossed by NOVA FALCON (SU Lim). He had therefore felt that the gelding was uncomfortable in its stride when riding it out in the straight, PREMIUM RUSH had shifted in considerably. A post-race veterinary examination of PREMIUM RUSH revealed no significant finding.
Jockey SU Lim (NOVA FALCON) was questioned regarding his ride on NOVA FALCON in the early stages. He stated that from his wide barrier, he had been trapped wide and had eased back in an endeavour to race closer to the fence, however at the same time, the field sprinted and this had increased the distance between him and other horses. He believed that NOVA FALCON had only raced moderately in the straight although having been ridden strongly.

RACE 8 (R1051) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE)
An objection was lodged by App A Zaimuddin (SPIN FIRE), placed second, against MY GOODNESS (App K Pavinthran) being declared the winner, alleging interference over the final 150M. The Racing Stewards overruled the objection. SPIN FIRE shifted out passing 200M, brushing MY GOODNESS, which was then inclined to shift in, carrying SPIN FIRE inwards over the final 75M. App K Pavinthran was warned that he must straighten his mount more quickly and App A Zaimuddin was warned that he must not fend off another horse or rider with his extended arm and in particular with his whip hand.

D’GREAT LUCK (App CK Khaw) raced wide throughout.

GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 9 (R1023) CLASS 5 (B) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE), SATURDAY, 5 DECEMBER 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2020
The Stewards, on 6 December 2020 (Sunday), concluded the inquiry into Apprentice A Zaimuddin’s riding of ELEGANT. He explained that he had ridden ELEGENT in the same fashion as he had developed with a limited usage of the whip. He further stated that he had reacted quickly and pulled sharply on the gelding to stop it shifting in as App CK Khaw (D’GREAT LUCK) who was racing on his inside near the 100M had shouted. The Stewards accepted App A Zaimuddin’s explanation.
RACE 8 (R867) SUPREME A (SW) – 1600M (LONG COURSE), SUNDAY, 25 OCTOBER 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB OCTOBER MEETING 2020
The inquiry into App N Varmah’s riding of TARGET in the initial stages was concluded on 5 December 2020 (Saturday). The delay in reconvening was caused by Trainer C Leck having to adhere to Covid 19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and that App N Varmah was on medical leave outside of Selangor.
App N Varmah explained that his instructions and intention had been to ride in a handy position but TARGET was a poor mannered horse in the barrier and had not begun quickly. Trainer C Leck confirmed the instructions and TARGET’s intractability. The Stewards issued a warning to App N Varmah to be ready and vigilant at the start.
RACE 2 (R1016) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE), SATURDAY, 5 DECEMBER 2020, SELANGOR TURF CLUB DECEMBER MEETING 2020
The Stewards questioned Trainer WC Lim regarding his instructions to Jockey SU Lim on the riding of WONDER BB. He advised that as WONDER BB was a reluctant horse, that responded to whip encouragement that Jockey SU Lim should be vigourous in his usage.
Trainer WC Lim was advised of the provision of MRA Rule 41(6)(d) which preclude that any person being party to a breach by way of his instructions of the whip rules and that he should leave no uncertainty as to the proper riding of his horse within the Rules.

It was established that App S Zulfikri was unable to make the weight of I AM THE BOSS at 55kgs and had thus not attended the races.
App S Zulfikri was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to be present or advise. Further, an embargo was imposed on App S Zulfikri in that he could not accept a ride at less than 55.5kgs.
