RACE 4 (R1168) OPEN MAIDEN – 1400M (LONG COURSE B)
On leaving the stalls, BIG GHOST (App A Zaimuddin) laid in causing ADMEISTER (F Yap) and D’GREAT ARES (SS Vanan) to race tight together and jostle each other for the first 100M.
At about the 1000M, GOLDEN CHOICE (App WK Lee) shifted slightly to the outside causing D’GREAT ARES to be pushed to the right and have to check off the heels of ADMEISTER. After taking evidence from Jockey F Yap and Jockey SS Vanan and reviewing the films, it was established that no particular rider was to be blamed for this incident and as such the Stewards deemed it as a racing incident.
Turning into the straight, BIG GHOST raced greenly, shifted out abruptly, lost momentum and finished tailed out.
HK DOLLAR (H Bukhari) raced greenly and continually laid out in the straight.
At about the 300M, HK DOLLAR laid out in response to the jockey drawing his whip causing ADMEISTER to check and lose momentum.
ECLIPSE FORCE (Y Aify) which was beaten 23 1/2 lengths, will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having a poor performance.

RACE 7 (R1171) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)
This race was rescheduled to start at 4:30pm due to rain delay.
The State of Track was downgraded to “Yielding” after the running of this race.
Acting on veterinary advice that TEDDY BEAR (Y Aify) was found to have sustained superficial skin laceration on the near hind and to be lame near hind (float injury), the gelding was withdrawn by order of the Stewards at 2:19pm. TEDDY BEAR will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
On leaving the stalls, App S Zulfikri, the rider of BANKERS CALL, had his feet out of the irons and never regained them at any stage during the race. The Stewards opened an inquiry into this incident and after taking evidence from App S Zulfikri, in the presence of his Master, Trainer PS Kumaran, the Chief Starter and the Assistant Starter, the inquiry was adjourned to a date to be fixed.
POLO BOY (App AK Lim) was slow to begin.
LIM’S INVINCIBLE (App A Zaimuddin) raced fiercely on the outside in the first half of the race. From the 600M to the 400M, DIRAC (Lou Ho) was forced to race wide on the outside of LIM’S INVINCIBLE.
At about the 400M, KUTTNER (SU Lim) began to lay in under pressure. At about the 300M, KUTTNER had to be straightened to avoid the heels of POLO BOY. At about the 200M, when passing POLO BOY on the outside, he again laid inwards causing POLO BOY to check and at the 100M, he had to be straightened to avoid the heels of LIM’S INVINCIBLE.

RACE 8 (R1172) CLASS 4 – 1200M (SHORT COURSE B)
This race was rescheduled to start at 5pm due to knock-on effect of rain delay in Race 7.
IMMORTALITY (App L De Souza) was late to get to the post due to a jockey change as App S Zulfikri felt unwell at a late stage and was subsequently stood down by the Club Doctor.
Jockey Lou Ho, the rider of CHIPS, felt unwell at the barriers and was subsequently declared unfit to ride by the Club Doctor. As there was insufficient time to arrange for a replacement rider, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of CHIPS at 5:02pm.
MR DREYFUSS (App AM Aizat) was slow to begin.
SO THE THING (SS Vanan) jumped out to the right causing ZHAN SHEN (App WK Lee) to be brushed to the right and bumped with MR DREYFUSS.
