RACE 1 (R699)          CLASS 4 (B) – 1200m(lc)     JUVENTUS HANDICAP

As Jockey AK Lim has been medically stood down, the Panel of Stewards permitted Jockey Z Khairil to replace him as the rider of OVER LIMITS.

Trainer W Lim was fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c)  for failing to produce the declared colours on FLASH (Y Aify).

SOON YOU THINK (HS Gill) which cast its near fore plate behind the barriers, had to be re-shod, was examined by the Club Veterinary Surgeon and was passed fit to start.

SHARON’S STAR (App J Daniel) stood when the gates were released and lost ground.

SOON YOU THINK showed no early pace, despite being urged.  Jockey HS Gill reported that he was hit by a clod of mud at about the 800M and his vision was impaired for some distance.

The saddle on DOUBLE RAINBOW (App P Mogun) slipped backwards during the running of this race.

FLASH which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

Post-race veterinary examinations of FLASH, SOON YOU THINK and SUPERWISE (M Hanif) revealed no obvious abnormality.  A post-race veterinary examination of OVER LIMITS (Z Khairil) revealed that the gelding had returned with respiratory distress and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

The Panel of Stewards questioned Trainer PK Leong, the trainer of FIELD FORCE into the gelding’s improved performance today as against the last start on 25th May 2019.    He stated that the gelding had worked normally during the week.  The Panel of Stewards noted that the gelding was down 7kgs in body weight today as compared to its weight from its last start.  He further stated that the track suited the gelding today and FIELD FORCE was racing in a weaker field.  His explanations were noted.  Trainer PK Leong was reminded of the provisions of MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running. 

The Panel of Stewards reviewed the vision of FIELD FORCE’s run in Race 4 of 25th May 2019 and noted that FIELD FORCE had failed to show the same early speed in the early stages of the race, despite being urged as it did in today’s race.

The Panel of Stewards questioned Mr. Jody Ward, Assistant Trainer to Trainer R Lines, the trainer of D’GREAT VULTURE (R Shafiq) regarding the apparent weight drop of 100kgs reported today, as compared to its previous 3 starts which was recorded in the race card.  It was established that the 3 previous body weights were wrongly-recorded in the race card and the normal body weight of D’GREAT VULTURE is within the range of 448kgs to 465kgs.  Today’s body weight of 465kgs is within the normal range.

Post-race veterinary examinations of TILSWORTH FREDDIE (SU Lim) revealed no obvious abnormality, JUST NAME IT returned lame near hind and GABBAR (S Anandan) returned broken-winded.  As such, JUST NAME IT and GABBAR will each be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
