At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of SPEEDY DEMON, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding SPEEDY DEMON in this race in that he allowed his horse to shift in when insufficiently clear of GOOD WARRIOR and MY MONEY shortly after the start, subsequently allowed his horse to shift in, which resulted in THE STORM, QIJI LOVE and STEEL CUTTER being carried in and thereafter approaching the 1100M, again allowed his horse to shift in which resulted in THE STORM and QIJI LOVE being tightened which contributed to STEEL CUTTER clipping heels and its rider being dislodged.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey AM Aizat’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 31 December 2023 and to expire on 14 January 2024, both dates inclusive.

At the conclusion of an inquiry, Jockey WW Cheah, the rider of NEW GARDEN, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that whilst riding NEW GARDEN in this race, at approximately the 1100M, he eased the pace to the extent that it contributed to QIJI LOVE becoming awkwardly placed on heels and having to ease and in turn, causing STEEL CUTTER positioned behind QIJI LOVE, to become awkwardly placed and clip heels, which resulted in App R Nuqman being dislodged.

In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey WW Cheah’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of five (5) Malaysian race days with effect from 14 January 2024 and to expire on 4 February 2024, both dates inclusive, to be served consecutively with any other penalty.
