Trainers B Ng and K Coetzee were each fined RM100/- under MRA Rule 65(5)(c) for failing to produce the declared colours for SUNNY FIGHTER (App N Shahronnizam) and THE JEWELLER (S Saddam).
SUNNY FIGHTER (App N Shahronnizam) and MYSTICAL STAR (R Narendran) were both slow into stride.

Jockey A Suriya was shown the video of the incident and warned against this practice. He was advised that a repetition may lead to a penalty being imposed.
THE JEWELLER and SUNNY FIGHTER were obliged to race wide on the turn.
Trainer K Coetzee was questioned regarding the improved performance of ADIRA PEGASUS. The only explanation he was able to offer was that this was an extremely weak field today. His explanation was noted.

SUNDAY, 14TH JULY 2024, PERAK JULY MEETING 2024
The Panel of Stewards today (21st July 2024) concluded their Inquiry into the running and
handling of USA CAPTAIN (AM Aizat) in the above race. Further evidence was taken from Jockey AM Aizat and Trainer K Coetzee, the rider and trainer of USA CAPTAIN respectively. After taking into consideration all evidence, Jockey AM Aizat was found guilty of a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride USA CAPTAIN to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge are as follows:-
- He failed to make sufficient effort to jump USA CAPTAIN with the field, resulting in it being slow into stride;
- He steadied his mount on several occasions for no apparent reason between the 800M-mark and the 500M-mark and he thereby failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards;
When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account the facts of this case, Jockey AM Aizat’s points of mitigation and his riding record. Jockey AM Aizat was suspended from riding in races for a period of four (4) months with effect from 21st July 2024 and to expire on 20th November 2024, both days inclusive. In addition, he was fined a sum of RM20,000/- (Malaysian Ringgit Twenty Thousand). He was advised of his Right of Appeal (11.55 am).
Jockey AM Aizat subsequently lodged a Notice of Appeal and applied for a Stay of Sentence against the 4 months’ suspension and fine of RM20,000/- imposed under MRA Rule 44(10). His application for a Stay of Sentence was GRANTED and the appeal proper will be held at a date to be fixed.
