RACE 1 (R012) CLASS 5 – 1600m(lc) – TRACK HERALD HANDICAP

EMPEROR QIAN LONG, a course scratching as it had sustained a bruised off fore sole, will be required to pass a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.

Trainer K Coetzee was fined RM250/- for negligence under MRA Rule 152(5)(a) for presenting ENLIGHTEN KNIGHT (S Sandana) without shadow-roll as declared.

ENLIGHTEN KNIGHT jumped away awkwardly and was slow to begin.

POLO MASTER (F Yap) and JETSTAR EAGLE (KT Cheng) were slow to begin.

LUCK DRAGON (App SU Lim) shifted out at the 450M, taking JETSTAR EAGLE and JACKWIN (WK Yan) wider on the track.

ENLIGHTEN KNIGHT was disappointed for a run racing to the 100M between LUCK DRAGON and LEAP OF FAITH (CK Tan) when LUCK DRAGON shifted in and racing to the 50M, ENLIGHTEN KNIGHT had to be steadied and shifted out across the heels of LUCK DRAGON to obtain a clear run to the finish.

A post-race veterinary examination of IWA ANTILIA (App KC Wong) revealed that the gelding had returned lame off fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

The Stewards questioned Jockey J Low, the rider of POWERFUL FIGHTER into that

gelding’s poor performance today. He stated that his instructions were to be mid-field

and that the gelding had raced well until entering the straight and when he commenced to

ride under the whip, the gelding failed to respond to his riding. In his opinion, the

gelding had not acted in the going. The Stewards noted his explanations. A post-race

veterinary examination of POWERFUL FIGHTER revealed no obvious abnormality.

The gelding was impounded.
