STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT
SELANGOR TURF CLUB JANUARY MEETING 2020
SATURDAY, 18 JANUARY 2020
STATE OF TRACK: Good
[Course A (True Position)]
Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:
Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward), Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Jarry Chong (Stipendiary Steward).

Dr Shri Kanth (Chief Veterinary Surgeon) & Dr James Yu.
RACE 1 (R095) CLASS 5 (B) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
LIM’S MYSTERY (App R Nuqman) was slow to begin.
Approaching the 800M, FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) rolled out, bumping BUKIT SUBANG which in turn shifted, carrying TRINITY ROCKET (SU Lim) which checked from the heels of GOOD VIBRATIONS (App L De Souza). In assessing this incident, the Stewards considered that FRENCH VINTAGE, in shifting out, had tightened the horse on its outside, whereby TRINITY ROCKET had to steady from GOOD VIBRATIONS which had been hanging in prior to this.
D’GREAT STRIKE raced fiercely with its head in the air and was taken wide from the 700M, and was inclined to lay inwards in the straight with Jockey R Shafiq having to straighten on several occasions.
CAVATINA (App P Mogun) was forced to race wide.
A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT STRIKE 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.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that MIROTIC (App CK Khaw) returned having cast its near hind plate.
On inquiry, App S Rosmizan, the rider of JUST DUIT, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, Trainer S Hamilton, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that near the 1000M, D’GREAT STRIKE (R Shafiq) had to check when crossed by JUST DUIT (App S Rosmizan), bumping the hind-quarters of BUKIT SUBANG (AK Lim).
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App S Rosmizan’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 20 January 2020 and to expire on 1 February 2020, both dates inclusive. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of his suspension. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (4pm).

RACE 3 (R097) CLASS 5 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
Prior to the “All Clear” being given, the Stipendiary Stewards viewed the patrol film of the final stages of the race.
CHERON WARRIOR (App CK Khaw) was unruly prior to the start.
LINCOLN CITY (KC Wong) dwelt on jumping, losing considerable ground.
Although pushed hard in the early stages, BEIJING STAR (C Goon) was reluctant to go forward, racing in rearward positon. When questioned regarding the performance of BEIJING STAR, Trainer S Edwards advised that the gelding was having its second start after a severe tendon injury and was again disappointing. He believed that BEIJING STAR may be better suited over a longer distance but had reservations related to the gelding’s mental state.
MY GOODNESS (App A Suriya) was obliged to race wide in the middle stages.
PERFECT RUN (App WW Cheah) was inclined to lay outwards over the concluding stages.
KING COBRA (AK Lim) drifted out and near the 50M, made contact with PERFECT RUN.
App CK Khaw the rider of CHERON WARRIOR, reported that his horse was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of CHERON WARRIOR revealed that it was lame near fore and as such will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again.

RACE 4 (R098) CLASS 4 (A) – 1200M (SHORT COURSE A)
This race was rescheduled to start at 3:05pm.
After dipping at the start, ASHHAB (HS Gill) was bumped when FUNKADELIC (C Goon) shifted out quickly and shortly after, steadied when crowded by SUNTZU (App S Rosmizan). When questioned regarding the performance of ASHHAB, Jockey HS Gill advised that after being interfered with at the start, ASHHAB was reluctant to progress and failed to respond to his urging. On straightening, he had taken the gelding wide, looking for a clear passage, and although the gelding had run somewhat in the straight, it had peaked on its run near the 200M.
STAR INVINCIBLE (App CK Khaw) and MARTIN VJ (R Shafiq) were slow to begin.
MARTIN VJ raced wide until straightening. Jockey R Shafiq was questioned regarding his ride on MARTIN VJ. He stated that he had been instructed to see how the gelding jumped and to ride it where it was “comfortable”. MARTIN VJ had been slow into stride and failed to show early pace being ridden rearward by the 1000M, he had progressed into the race well and after riding MARTIN VJ strongly on straightening, it had not responded and was inclined to be one-paced. Further, the gelding had shifted in when struck with the whip causing him to steady. He reported that MARTIN VJ had made a bad noise. A post-race veterinary examination of MARTIN VJ revealed no significant finding. This inquiry was adjourned to allow for MARTIN VJ’s Trainer, PS Kumaran to be called.
ORIENTAL SPIRIT (App AR Aiman) raced wide in the early and middle stages.
A post-race veterinary examination of LUKE MAN (R Rueven) 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.

LARSON (KC Wong) raced wide in the middle stages.
BIG TRUCK (App A Zaimuddin) raced awkwardly when crowded on the rails between the 900M and the 600M.

SECRET WIN (J Low) was slow to begin.
On jumping, AFFLECK (R Rueven) shifted inwards, crowding DIRECTOR (App R Nuqman) which contacted BEST TOTHELIGN (App L De Souza). After taking into consideration Jockey R Rueven’s excellent riding record, the Stewards issued a warning rather than preferring a charge of careless riding.
NOVA STRIKE (App CK Khaw) was slow into stride and drifted out in the straight, finishing wide on the track.
SHOWBOY (J De Souza) was inclined to shift in passing the 200M.
WAR DRAGON (KC Wong) drifted out from the 200M and near the 100M, Jockey KC Wong accidentally struck Jockey J De Souza (SHOWBOY) on two (2) occasions, dislodging his whip. In considering this incident, the Stewards believed Jockey KC Wong had ridden carelessly by failing to stop riding with his whip when his mount shifted out. He was subsequently fined RM500/- under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii).
