RACE 1 (R1133) CLASS 5(B) – 1400M (LONG COURSE A)
SATELLITE GENIUS (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly, striking the hind quarters of IMMORTAL LEGACY (App M Lukman), losing ground.
SMIDDY BYRNE (KC Wong) which was sitting back when the start was effected, lost ground. SMIDDY BYRNE was then obliged to race wide throughout.
Passing the 1250M, SATELLITE GENIUS shifted in, causing SUPER EIGHT (O Chavez) to be steadied.
Near the 350M, SUPER EIGHT stumbled for no apparent reason. Jockey O Chavez explained that SUPER EIGHT was reluctant throughout the race, and was inclined to shy from the kick back.
When questioned, Trainer WC Lim (IMMORTAL LEGACY) advised that after studying the race, he believed IMMORTAL LEGACY could race in a prominent position although having drawn the outside barrier. He had instructed App M Lukman to ride for pace but was surprised that he had led so easily. Whilst accepting that App M Lukman had ridden IMMORTAL LEGACY diligently to secure the lead, the Stewards suggested to Trainer WC Lim that he educate App M Lukman with regards to the pace and tempo he applies in races.

Near the 1000M, COMMODORE LINCOLN struck the heels of EXCALIBUR (R Shafiq) and blundered, dislodging Jockey B Pinheiro. GOLD POWER (J Low) and NORMAN which were following, were inconvenienced.

The Stewards inquired into Jockey R Shafiq’s riding of EXCALIBUR, in particular his whip use in the straight. Trainer S Ellis advised that when EXCALIBUR ran second in mid-July, Jockey R Shafiq had advised him that the gelding was inclined to resent being struck with the whip, as such he had instructed at subsequent starts (including this one), that the riders use the whip sparingly on EXCALIBUR.
In accepting this, the Stewards advised Trainer S Ellis and Jockey R Shafiq that there was an expectancy that a horse to be ridden in a consistent manner and made a notation that EXCALIBUR would be ridden in future with a moderate whip use.

RACE 4 (R1136) STAYER STAKES A – 1800M (LONG COURSE A)
STAR INVINCIBLE (Y Aify) raced wide in the middle stages.

Near the 275M, MOZART ECLIPSE (O Chavez) shifted out off the heels of CALVADOS (KC Wong) and in doing so, made contact with MAYBE (J De Souza).
