STIPENDIARY STEWARDS’ REPORT
SELANGOR TURF CLUB NOVEMBER SPECIAL MEETING 2019
SATURDAY, 9 NOVEMBER 2019
STATE OF TRACK: Yielding
(Course B)
Panel of Stipendiary Stewards:
Mr Fin Powrie (Chief Stipendiary Steward), Mr Thanaraja Kasinathan (Stipendiary Steward) & Mr Nigel Chong (Stipendiary Steward).
Veterinary Surgeons:
Dr James Yu & Dr Edwards Samuel.
RACE 1 (R1404) CLASS 5 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
GHOST BAY (HS Gill) was slow to begin.
On straightening, SCORPION KING and MUSANG KING bumped.
Jockey Y Aify (EMPEROR WARRIOR) was questioned as to the reasons he had ridden EMPEROR WARRIOR wide in a leading position throughout the race. He advised that it had been his intention to ride off the pace but when crossing, believed there were horses inside of him when he had heard several calls. He could offer no explanation as to why, after clearing MUSANG KING (S Anandan) near the 900M, he had not moved closer to the leader, SCORPION KING (AK Lim), and had stayed approximately 4 horses wide until straightening.
In considering Jockey Y Aify’s riding, the Stewards believed that they could not substantiate a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) but severely reprimanded Jockey Y Aify as they were of the opinion that his ride was unsatisfactory.
Jockey S Ruzaini, when questioned regarding his riding of SATELLITE GENIUS, advised that after jumping awkwardly, SATELLITE GENIUS had been reluctant to stride on the soft track. Further, the gelding was inclined to over-race in its previous races, but today SATELLITE GENIUS relaxed in a mid to rearward position. After straightening, he pushed the gelding out and it had tended to lay outwards in the straight.
When questioned, Trainer S Edwards advised the Stewards that he wished SATELLITE GENIUS to be ridden in a midfield position, and was not unhappy that the gelding was more rearward given that it was in touch with the field. The Stewards adjourned this inquiry at a date to be fixed.

RACE 3 (R1406) CLASS 5 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
ELITE CONQUEROR (S Anandan) and MOON BABY (HS Gill) were slow to begin.
Shortly after the start, SATELLITE GOLDEN (S Ruzaini) shifted out, bumping with SUPER DRAGON (KC Wong).
SEGAR THE BEST (App R Nuqman) commenced to race fiercely and struck the running rail at about the 1050M with App R Nuqman having trouble controlling the gelding. Trainer BT Lim was advised to engage a stronger rider for SEGAR THE BEST in future.
MOON BABY was obliged to race wide in the middle stages.
A post-race veterinary examination of D’GREAT ACHIEVER revealed that the gelding bled and will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.

RACE 5 (R1408) CLASS 4 (B) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
Trainer AB Abdullah was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for failing to declared the Blinkers on RADICAL FORCE (R Shafiq) within the stipulated time.
ENCOSTA ZONE (Z Khairil) was slow to begin, and was inclined to lay inwards in the straight.
SILVER POWER (App CK Khaw) was inclined to lay outwards in the straight and near the 225M, bumped the hind-quarters of RADICAL FORCE. When questioned as to why he had led on SILVER POWER by a significant margin, App CK Khaw explained that he had been instructed to go forward and attempt to lead but SILVER POWER commenced to over-race and he had subsequently let the gelding stride.
DAHEES (S Muniandy) raced wide on straightening. Jockey S Muniandy (DAHEES) was questioned as to why DAHEES was so far back in the early stages. He stated that although beginning well enough, DAHEES had been impeded shortly after the start and then when following SHANGHAI NIGHTS (AK Lim), had again been blocked. He had taken DAHEES wide in mid race as he was of the opinion that the gelding resented the state of the track.
When questioned regarding his ride on ENCOSTA ZONE, Jockey Z Khairil stated that the mare was reluctant to stride out in the early stages, and that today’s distance was considerably shorter than the mare’s optimum.

RACE 6 (R1409) CLASS 4 (A) – 1300M (LONG COURSE B)
HARVEYWALLBANGER (R Shafiq) bounded in the air at the start, losing considerable ground.
On jumping, LIGHTNING KING (AK Lim) shifted in at the same time as SUN SEEKER (SU Lim) shifted out, squeezing ELITE SILENCER (App R Nuqman) which lost ground.
Approaching the 1000M, HARVEYWALLBANGER commenced to race fiercely and shifted out at the same time as PREMIUM RUSH (App S Uzair) shifted in slightly. This caused FIRST DANCE (J De Souza) to be steadied. App S Uzair was reminded of his obligations to afford runners sufficient galloping room. PREMIUM RUSH then drifted wide in the straight.
When questioned, Jockey O Chavez (CONFEAT) advised that CONFEAT was at no stage comfortable with the state of the track, and he had attempted to get the gelding to change legs in the straight but the gelding was a spent force by the 300M.
Jockey SU Lim, the rider of SUN SEEKER, was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for dropping his whip at about the 400M.

RACE 7 (R1410) COMBINED CLASSES 1&2 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)
Trainer C Leck was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) in that he wrongly declared the riders of NOVA STRIKE and NOVA SWISS.
AFFLECK (R Rueven) was inclined to over-race in the early stages.
HIGH COUNCIL (App A Suriya) and NOVA STRIKE (S Ruzaini) were slow into stride.
When questioned regarding his ride on AFFLECK, Jockey R Rueven advised that although the gelding was travelling well in the early stages, he had allowed AFFLECK to stride to the lead as he believed the pace was true. He had been marginally crowded on straightening when STICK SEEKER (App S Uzair) rolled in but was of the opinion that AFFLECK was not suited by the “yielding” nature of the track, and had faded in the straight.
Trainer S Ellis stated that in his opinion, AFFLECK had raced in an uncharacteristic fashion and although he considered that the gelding was not suited by the track today, he was of the opinion that AFFLECK raced considerably below its ability.
RACE 8 (R1410) CLASS 3 – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)
SATTAR (R Shafiq) bounded in the air at the start. When questioned, Jockey R Shafiq (SATTAR) stated that the gelding was agitated in the stalls and on jumping awkwardly, it then commenced to be pulled fiercely and he had been reluctant to take a run on the inside horse near the 1000M. Trainer AB Abdullah was advised that SATTAR will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.
Jockey KC Wong (PANCA DELIMA) stated that he had been instructed to ride in second or third positon but had to push PANCA DELIMA to go forward with the gelding hanging outwards near the 1000M, finishing wide on the track. He believed that PALTROW (S Anandan) may have broken down and had not ridden it out in the straight.
Jockey KC Wong reported that PANCA DELIMA was not striding out freely. A post-race veterinary examination of PANCA DELIMA revealed no significant finding. Trainer AB Abdullah was advised that PANCA DELIMA will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance.
The Stewards warned App WW Cheah (DESIRE SKY) for looking back prior to the finish.

MEWTWO (C Goon) and STREET CHAMP (App A Suriya) were slow into stride.
Due to the delay, ELF’S DREAM (App WW Cheah) dwelt and jumped awkwardly, losing considerable ground.
