SMART INVESTMENT (App A Suriya) was slow into stride.

Passing the 600M, FORSA ECLIPSE (S Ruzaini) and TRINITY SPIRIT (SU Lim) buffeted heavily with TRINITY SPIRIT losing considerable ground. On inquiry, it was established that

FORSA ECLIPSE and TRINITY SPIRIT were racing tightly when LADRONE (R Rueven) progressed on their outside. Although held tight at this stage, FORSA ECLIPSE made contact with LADRONE. The Stewards were not satisfied that they could substantiate a charge in terms of the Rules.

Near the 600M, BLUE HAWAII (App N Varmah) shifted out and this caused HARVEYWALLBANGER (App L De Souza) to clip its heels and blundered badly. On inquiry, App N Varmah pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii).

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App N Varmah’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days with effect from 5 October 2020 and to expire on 11 October 2020, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal. 

FORSA ECLIPSE returned having cast its near fore plate and HARVEYWALLBANGER returned with a cut to the off hind coronary band. HARVEYWALLBANGER will be required to undergo a veterinary examination before being declared to race again.
