The Stewards questioned Trainer N Azman, the trainer of LUCK DRAGON (F Yap) into
the improved performance of the gelding today. He stated that he was unable to explain
the gelding’s poor performance in Penang on 03/6/2017. However, he stated that he had
freshened up the gelding and the removal of blinkers may have contributed to the
gelding’s improved performance today. His explanation was noted and he was reminded
of his obligations under MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running.
The Stewards questioned Jockey SU Lim, the rider of ZHAN SHEN into that gelding’s
poor performance today. He stated that the gelding failed to respond to his riding early in
the race and when he urged ZHAN SHEN from the 600M, it again failed to respond to
his riding and finished the race poorly. His explanation was noted.
The Stewards also questioned Trainer KP Hoy, the trainer of ZHAN SHEN who could
offer no tangible explanation to the gelding’s disappointing performance today. He was
advised to report back to the Panel of Stewards if he detects any abnormality with the
gelding after cooling down.
The Stewards questioned Trainer K Coetzee, the trainer of BALBOA who stated that his instructions were to be midfield and that he was disappointed with the gelding’s performance today and noted that BALBOA lost its near fore plate during the running.
Jockey HS Gill confirmed the instructions and felt that BALBOA failed to respond to his
riding throughout the running of the race and when placed under the whip from the
400M, was disappointing in the running.
Post-race veterinary examinations of ZHAN SHEN, COCONUT and BALBOA revealed no obvious abnormality. BALBOA returned having cast its near fore plate.
