GENERAL REPORT(S) – SLTC
RACE 5 (R1006) CLASS 4A – 1100M (SC A6), SATURDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2024, SELANGOR TURF CLUB SATURDAY MEETING 2024
The Stewards, on Tuesday, 12 November 2024 at SLTC, concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of BINTANG SIXTY-ONE. Evidence was taken from Jockey SU Lim and Trainer C Leck, the rider and trainer of BINTANG SIXTY-ONE respectively.
The Stewards reviewed the films of the incident and considered the evidence tendered. Jockey SU Lim was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge being that on 26 October 2024 in Race 5 run at the Selangor Turf Club, he failed to ride BINTANG SIXTY-ONE to the satisfaction of the Stewards in that his riding in this race was lacking in vigour and determination and passive, with the manner of his riding amounting to not only an unjustified variation of his normal standard of riding but was of a standard which was below expectation of a rider in such a position.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration Jockey SU Lim’s mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of 2 months with immediate effect from 18 November 2024 and to expire on 17 January 2025, both dates inclusive, to be served consecutively with any other penalty. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
Jockey SU Lim subsequently exercised his Right of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence. The Panel of Stewards considered the application for a stay which was granted. The appeal hearing will be held at a date to be fixed.
