 SUNDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 2020

STATE OF TRACK: Good            

Course C (Rail @ 6M & Cutaway)

Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:

RACE 1 (R924)         CLASS 5 (B) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)

LINCOLN CITY (Z Zuriman) which cast its near fore plate before the start, was replated, checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to race.

When the start was effected, LINCOLN CITY which had been kicking in the stalls, kicked out, got its left hind leg up on the partition and subsequently missed the start by a considerable margin. In light of LINCOLN CITY’s continued poor barrier manners, Trainer AB Abdullah was advised that 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. Further, should the gelding’s barrier manners continue in this way, consideration would be given to barring it from racing.

SMART WARRIOR (App A Suriya) dwelt as the start was effected and missed the start at approximately 10 lengths. SMART WARRIOR will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

NOVA DASHING (KC Wong) dwelt at the start and missed the start by a considerable margin. NOVA DASHING will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.

GOLD MOSA (App CK Khaw) threw its head on jumping, losing ground.

Approaching the 1000M, FORTUNE SPIRIT (R Shafiq) which was racing fiercely, had to be restrained off the heels of LIM’S MASTER (HS Gill).

Near the 50M, LINCOLN CITY was inclined to lay in, crowding RELIC WARRIOR (S Ruzaini).

Post-race veterinary examinations of SMART WARRIOR and LINCOLN CITY revealed no significant finding.

On arriving at the start, it was ascertained that E SUPREME (S Ruzaini) had lost its tongue-tie. As no substitute was available, E SUPREME raced without a tongue-tie. The representative of Trainer MP Thwaites was advised that he should ensure that all equipment is properly secured.

WINNING WAR (R Rueven) shifted in at the start, tightening ELITE CONQUEROR (App R Nuqman). Jockey R Rueven was reprimanded for failing to straighten at this stage.

STAY SOUND (KC Wong) veered outwards at the start, bumping ZILFIKAR (Y Aify). Shortly after this, STAY SOUND shifted in, crowding MURDOCH (App A Suriya) which in turn caused ORION (App CK Khaw) to steady.

MURDOCH (App A Suriya) shifted in near the 1500M, crowding SHA NA NA (J Daniel) which brushed the running rail. App A Suriya was reprimanded for shifting in at this stage.

This race was rescheduled to start at 2:25pm.

HAVANA (R Shafiq) was ridden wide throughout. Jockey R Shafiq explained that with the slow early pace, he attempted to pull the gelding back but had been unable to do so and thus, had been stuck in a wide position at the rear of the field.

Passing the 150M, CHER (S Ruzaini) checked severely when GOLDEN SLAM (Y Aify) shifted in with Jockey S Ruzaini losing his stirrup irons. TRINITY FLYING (SU Lim) which was following, was inconvenienced. After taking initial evidence, this inquiry was adjourned until 2pm on Tuesday, 17 November 2020.

RACE 7 (R930)         CLASS 4 (A) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE)

TEH TARIK (HS Gill) was slow into stride and tended to lay inwards in the straight.

On straightening, LINCOLN MOONLIGHT (Y Aify) shifted out, causing I AM THE BOSS (App S Zulfikri) to steady from its heels and dipped. An inquiry into this incident will be conducted on Tuesday, 17 November 2020 at 2:30pm.

The whip of App S Zulfikri (I AM THE BOSS) broke near the 400M. App S Zulfikri continued to use his whip. As such, App S Zulfikri was reprimanded for the manner in which he had used his whip and advised that a repetition would lead to suspension.

Jockey R Shafiq (CONDADO), when questioned as to why he was so far back, stated that the gelding was reluctant to stride in the early stages and although he had urged the gelding mid-race, he had only become competitive on straightening but failed to make any ground in the straight.

App CK Khaw (MYO) reported after the race that his saddle slipped backwards shortly after the start, placing him at a considerable disadvantage throughout.

A post-race veterinary examination of TEH TARIK revealed that it returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.
