RACE 2 (R212) CLASS 4 (A) – 1100M (SHORT COURSE A)
At about the 1000M, SUN LION (SU Lim) which was over-racing, was brushed by THANK YOU BOSS (Y Aify), which was taken slightly inwards by D’GREAT RICH (KC Wong) and as a result SUN LION shied inwards and bumped with FRANKLY MY DEAR (R Shafiq). SUN LION continued to over-race until settled with cover at about the 800M.
Approaching the 500M, Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SUN LION, took a precautionary check to avoid the heels of FRANKLY MY DEAR and in doing so, SUN LION laid inwards and raced awkwardly for a few strides.
Between the 500M and the 400M, LUMINIFF LAD (HK Cheng) was disappointed for a run on the heels of FRANKLY MY DEAR.
Approaching the 400M, MAREA NEGRO (C Goon) was shifted outwards to obtain clear running on the outside of STEP BY STEP (HS Gill) and in doing so, caused SUPER LINE (App A Zaimuddin) which was following, to be taken wide.
Jockey C Goon, the rider of MAREA NEGRO, was questioned by the Stewards on why he appeared to ride quietly between the 400M and the 200M. He stated that MAREA NEGRO is ideally suited by a longer distance than the 1100M of today’s race and that he was trying to ensure that she was fully balanced to give her the best chance of running on to maximum effect. The Stewards warned Jockey C Goon to ride all his mounts in the concluding stages in such a manner so as to leave no room for query.

RACE 3 (R213) MAIDEN – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
MOONSHINE MISTRESS (J Mallyon) was slow to begin.
GHOST SPIRIT (HS Gill) was unsettled in the barrier and kicked the back gate just before the start was effected. GHOST SPIRIT was then slow to find its stride.
Approaching the 1000M, GHOST BAY (SU Lim) ducked abruptly inwards and crowded BEAUTIFUL ONE (Y Aify). Jockey SU Lim was briefly unbalanced in this incident. BEAUTIFUL ONE, when crowded, lost ground, causing MOONSHINE MISTRESS which was following, to be checked. Jockey SU Lim, the rider of GHOST BAY, was shown the vision of this incident and warned that he must attempt to exercise greater control of his mount under similar circumstances in future.
Approaching the 1000M, MERCHANT MARINE (App A Suriya) was baulked by BEAUTIFUL ONE, which lost ground when crowded by GHOST BAY, and veered abruptly before App A Suriya had an opportunity to correct.
MERCHANT MARINE wandered in the straight under pressure.
At about the 150M, MISE EN GARDE (Z Khairil) laid inwards under pressure and brushed with RUNNING FLAME (R Shafiq).
SECKILL (App A Zaimuddin) laid inwards under pressure from the 100M.
Jockey Y Aify, the rider of BEAUTIFUL ONE, reported that his horse raced greenly.

Between the 400M and the 200M, LIM’S SINCERE laid slightly outwards under pressure.
From the 200M, STAR CHOICE shifted outwards for clear running to avoid the heels of GENTLEMAN.
A post-race veterinary examination of GENTLEMAN revealed that the gelding bled and as such it will be permanently banned from racing in terms of MRA Rule 92(7).

At about the 500M, ORDER OF THE SUN was shifted inside for clear running to avoid the heels of ODE TO JOY (S Salee).

RACE 7 (R217) CLASS 4 (A) – 1700M (LONG COURSE A)
TRIPLE ONE STAR (App WW Cheah) jumped inwards causing SUNNY (J De Souza) to be crowded between TRIPLE ONE STAR and GHOST EMPEROR (AM Aizat), and lose ground as a consequence. App WW Cheah, in the presence of his Master, Trainer R Lines, was shown the vision of the incident and warned that he must exercise greater care to keep his horses straight at the jump.
BLOOD ROYAL (App L De Souza) laid outwards on jumping, causing JJ STAR (HK Cheng) and CONFOUND (HS Gill) to be taken outwards in response and as a result CONFOUND was awkwardly placed on the heels of LA FAMILIA (R Shafiq) in the first few strides.
BACK TO THE TOWERS (SU Lim) raced keenly in the early stages and got its head up at about the 1200M when restrained to follow LA FAMILIA, which took the lead.
Approaching the 1000M, GROUND CONTROL (Y Aify) was eased to avoid the heels of D’GREAT ACHIEVER (KC Wong). GROUND CONTROL was again eased off the heels of D’GREAT ACHIEVER at about the 800M.
JJ STAR raced wide in the middle stages.
Approaching the 400M, D’GREAT ACHIEVER laid outwards causing AUSONE (S Ruzaini) to be angled outwards in order to avoid the heels of D’GREAT ACHIEVER and as a consequence, to be disappointed for a run on the heels of CONFOUND.
BACK TO THE TOWERS laid inwards under pressure from about the 300M.
Jockey Y Aify, the rider of GROUND CONTROL, was observed by a Stipendiary Steward to be shouting out to Jockey KC Wong, the rider of D’GREAT ACHIEVER, when their respective mounts returned to the unsaddling area. When questioned, Jockey Y Aify stated that he was upset as he felt that Jockey KC Wong had inconvenienced him during the race. The Stewards warned Jockey Y Aify to control his temper in future and that a recurrence of a similar behavior may lead to a penalty being imposed.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of CONFOUND, Trainer R Lines stated that he felt that the gelding has had a busy racing schedule and would benefit from a break. Accordingly, he will send CONFOUND for a spell.

RACE 8 (R218) CLASS 3 – 1700M (LONG COURSE A)
MAJOR TOM (App A Suriya) stood still as the gates opened, was slow to begin and forfeited ground.
At about the 1400M, SACRED GALAXY (KC Wong) shifted inwards causing SATELLITE PRINCE (Z Khairil) to be eased to avoid running onto his heels.
Jockey J Low, the rider of RUM N RAISINS, dropped his whip at about the 500M, RUM N RAISINS finished tailed out and was beaten 18 ¾ lengths. The Stewards observed that the dropped whip made no difference to the running of RUM N RAISINS and warned Jockey J Low that a recurrence may lead to action being taken against him. RUM N RAISINS will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.
At about the 200M, OUT OF NOWHERE (App J Daniel) commenced to shift outwards under pressure and at about the 100M, laid outwards towards TIGER BAY (J De Souza) which was taken outwards. At about the 75M, TIGER BAY laid inwards away from a right-handed drive and bumped once with OUT OF NOWHERE.
An objection was lodged by App J Daniel, the rider of OUT OF NOWHERE, placed second against TIGER BAY (J De Souza) being declared the winner, on the grounds of alleged interference at about the 75M which had affected App J Daniel’s momentum. After considering the evidence, the Racing Stewards were of the opinion that the alleged interference had not affected the result of the race. The objection was overruled and the result stood.
RACE 9 (R219) CLASS 4 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)
DANZEB (R Shafiq) brushed with RAINBOW FISH (App L De Souza) on jumping.
In the early stages, BROTHER WIND (J De Souza) showed a tendency to over-race and laid inwards and approaching the 1000M, bumped with JERAM VILLAGE (S Ruzaini) which was also racing greenly.
MAINDANZ BEAUTY (App A Suriya) shifted persistently outwards under pressure from the 100M, forcing the rider to ease and correct in order to avoid contact with BROTHER WIND. When questioned, App A Suriya stated that in the last 100M, MAIDANZ BEAUTY commenced to lay outwards when tiring. He felt that at this stage, his mount was only capable of one-pace and he rode with hands and heels only in an attempt to keep his balance and to straighten the mare who was in danger of causing interference.
Trainer C Leck was questioned regarding the improved form shown by MAINDANZ BEAUTY. He explained that the mare is dry-coated and as such will only maintain her best condition inside an air-conditioned stall. He stated that he has recently taken steps to improve the air-conditioning in his stables which seemed to benefit MAINDANZ BEAUTY.

- Appeal by Jockey M Ganeesh (CHAR KWAY TEOW) to the Racing Stewards on Deferment of the Commencement of his Suspension of One (1) Month under MRA Rule 44(10)
