RACE 2 (R982) CLASS 5 (A) – 1700M (LONG COURSE)
Jockey CK Khaw (D’GREAT SWIFT) dropped his whip prior to the finish when struck by the whip of App K Pavinthran (SMART WARRIOR).
App Clyde Leck and Trainer C Leck were questioned regarding the reason why ALL WHITE was ridden in a rearward position. Trainer C Leck advised that the mare was agitated and sweating badly pre-race. Although he had instructed ALL WHITE to be ridden in a forward position, the mare had been sitting back when the start was effected and was slow to begin. App Clyde Leck added that as a result, he was unable to secure a forward position although urging the mare throughout and in the straight, ALL WHITE had run on only moderately. Trainer C Leck stated that he will monitor ALL WHITE and report back to the Stewards.

Near the 200M, THUNDERGOD (App AB Riduan) baulked badly and lost ground. App AB Riduan explained that although not tightened by MIEJ (AK Lim) on his outside, THUNDERGOD had taken fright and mistrode at this stage. App AB Riduan was reminded of his obligations to report any incident that occurs during a race.
RACE 4 (R984) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE)

The Stewards questioned Jockey HK Cheng with regards to his riding of TOPMOST.

He had then been caught wide and when attempting to come in near the 1000M, he had stayed wide, not wishing to pressure CHONKY POTATO (App Clyde Leck) on his inside. Whilst accepting his explanation, the Stewards advised Jockey HK Cheng that he must endeavour to secure a more reasonable position in future.

SPORTS TOTO 4D JACKPOT STAKES

SHA NA NA (App N Varmah) was slow into stride and trailed the field in the early stages.
BIG G returned having cast its near fore plate.
The Stewards questioned App Clyde Leck and Trainer C Leck as to the reason why STAY SOUND was ridden in a rearward position. Trainer C Leck advised that he had instructed for the gelding to be ridden midfield, however, he believed that STAY SOUND was caught flat-footed when other horses passed him and he ended up with a wall of horses in front. He was of the opinion that although STAY SOUND was impeded slightly on straightening, this had denied him running a place as the horse had run on well. App Clyde Leck agreed that the field had crossed quickly in front of him and he was further back than desired, although he had worked to obtain a good position on straightening, he had been impeded shortly after.

RACE 11 (R991) CLASS 5 (A) – 1250M (SHORT COURSE)
This race was run in rain.
MURDOCH (App Clyde Leck) was slow into stride.
LADY BLA BLA (App N Varmah) and CAPONE (HS Gill) raced wide in the middle stages.
When blocked for a clear run on straightening, LEADING CELLIST (App A Suriya) shifted out, bumping the hind-quarters of TWENTY-SIXTWELVE (J Daniel). LEADING CELLIST was then blocked and shifted in. This caused ATLANTIC ARROW (S Ruzaini) to be checked near the 250M.
On inquiry, App A Suriya, the rider of LEADING CELLIST, in the presence of his Employing Trainer, C Leck, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he shifted in at this stage.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App A Suriya’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) race days with effect from 6 December 2021 and to expire on 18 December 2021, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
GRATUS (App S Uzair) had to be taken wide on straightening to secure a clear passage.
