RACE 3 (R175) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)
In the early stages, LIM’S KEYWAY (App AR Raiyan), GOLDEN CRAFTSMAN (HS Gill) and SUN FORCE (SU Lim) raced wide.
Jockey CK Khaw (ORION) was questioned as to the reason he had ridden ORION wide throughout. He stated that it was his intention to sit midfield, however, he had been tightened shortly after the start, and was eased back when ORION commenced to pull hard. He then took the gelding wide as he believed it was better suited for being able to stride. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards reminded Jockey CK Khaw that he would be expected to ride in a diligent manner under similar circumstances in future.
Jockey AK Lim (JARL) was questioned regarding the use of his whip in the straight. Jockey AK Lim was fined RM250/- under MRA Rule 41(6)(b) for using his whip excessively in the final stages.
App K Pavinthran (SMART WARRIOR) was warned against the practice of looking around in races.
