RACE 1 (R660) CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M (SHORT COURSE)
READY TO STRIKE (KC Wong) which was restless in the stalls, threw its head as the start was effected and then bounded, veering outwards with Jockey KC Wong restraining the mare. Shortly after this, READY TO STRIKE was ridden forward to a prominent position.
When questioned regarding this, Jockey KC Wong said that he had become concerned when READY TO STRIKE jumped badly and tried to follow his instructions by riding in a prominent position. He was advised that under similar circumstances in future, he should use his initiative to ride his horses more diligently. In light of this, Trainer R Lines was advised that READY TO STRIKE will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.
LINCOLN CITY (J Shankar) bounded in the air as the start was effected with Jockey J Shankar striking the cross beam. As such, LINCOLN CITY was slow to begin and lost ground. In light of this, Trainer AB Abdullah was advised that LINCOLN CITY will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again. After the running of this race, Jockey J Shankar was examined by the Club Doctor who passed him fit to fulfill his riding engagement for the remainder of the day.
FRENCH VINTAGE (App A Suriya) was slow into stride and raced fiercely in the early stages.

RACE 7 (R666) OPEN MAIDEN – 1400M (LONG COURSE)
A Stewards’ objection was lodged under the provisions of MRA Rule 124(3) to consider interference to dead-heater for 3rd placing, GLOBAL ARMY (S Ruzaini) against the equal dead-heater, UNSHADOWED GENERAL (App A Suriya) related to interference at about the 150M. The Racing Stewards upheld the objection and amended the placing to:
1st – OSCAR ECLIPSE (KC Wong)
2nd – ISFAHAN (Y Aify)
3rd – GLOBAL ARMY (S Ruzaini)
4th – UNSHADOWED GENERAL (App A Suriya)
SENA SIXTYNINE (HS Gill) and STAY SOUND (App K Pavinthran) were slow to begin.
Passing the 150M, UNSHADOWED GENERAL bore out quickly and shunted GLOBAL ARMY outwards. ISFAHAN which was following, was inconvenienced. Shortly after this, GLOBAL ARMY tended to lay inwards and after passing the winning post, brushed UNSHADOWED GENERAL. On inquiry, App A Suriya, the rider of UNSHADOWED GENERAL, 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 out, bumping heavily with GLOBAL ARMY near the 150M.
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) Malaysian race days with effect from 7 September 2020 and to expire on 13 September 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:30pm).

RACE 10 (R669) CLASS 5 (A) – 1600M (LONG COURSE)
The Stewards permitted Jockey AK Lim to be the substitute rider for App L De Souza on GOLD MOSA given the latter’s relative senior apprentice status.
YULONG HONOR (S Ruzaini) was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon at the start and was passed fit to race.
On inquiry, Jockey S Ruzaini, the rider of YULONG HONOR, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that shortly after the start, he shifted in, tightening GHOST BAY (HS Gill) onto GOLD MOSA (AK Lim) which in turn crowded ALL MY EYE (App CK Khaw) and SMIDDY BYRNE (Y Aify) which shifted in causing GOD OF WAR (J Low) to be checked severely.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey S Ruzaini’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 7 September 2020 and to expire on 13 September 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal (6:15pm).
The saddle on SMIDDY BYRNE slipped backwards at about the 1400M, placing Jockey Y Aify at a disadvantage.

RACE 11 (R670) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M (LONG COURSE)
When the start was effected, READY TO SEVENLUCK (KC Wong) jumped very awkwardly and refused to race, veering outwards. Before the “All Clear” was given, the Starter and Jockey KC Wong reviewed the film and it was ascertained that READY TO SEVENLUCK was unruly in the stalls and the Starter had effected the start when the gelding had straightened. In light of this, the Stewards ruled that READY TO SEVENLUCK will be required to pass 1 Starting Stall test before being declared to race again.
READY TO SEVENLUCK raced erratically in the straight.
An inquiry will be conducted into riding tactics adopted on JUBILATION (App A Suriya), NEW SENSATION (J Shankar), COME AND TAKE ALL (HS Gill) AND ARECIBO (App CC Foo) related to them being in a rearward division in the middle stages of the race.
