RACE 1 (MRA 0098)   CLASS 5 (B) – 1400M

App P Haris arrived late on course.  After investigation, the Stewards warned him that a repetition may lead to a penalty being imposed in the future.       

SUNNY STAR (App P Haris) was slow into stride.

The bridle of POWER EXPRESS (App SN Shiva) came adrift shortly after the start, placing the rider at a disadvantage throughout the race.  This matter will be investigated further.  App SN Shiva dismounted on pulling up.

MERRY BELL (J Daniel) was racing keen in the early stages of the race.

SUNNY STAR was obliged to race wide rounding the turn and into the straight.

PENANG MAN (App N Sharonnizam) switched outwards to obtain clear running passing the 300M-mark.

Arising from an incident involving Jockey J Daniel in the unsaddling area after the running of this race, an Inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.

BIG POWER which was up 17 kgs in body weight since its last run, was checked by the Club Veterinary Surgeon prior to the race and was passed fit to start.

Acting on veterinary advice that PARISBAS (AM Aizat) cast its off fore plate which could not be re-shod, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of PARISBAS at 2.46pm.

YES BOSSY (S Ruzaini) jumped awkwardly. 

Approaching the 200M-mark, FLYING SPIDER (R Narendran) shifted inwards away from the whip.

LEGEND WAR (S Ruzaini) and VETRI (AM Aizat) were scratched at 2.44pm under MRA Rule 12(2)(p).  As the Trainers/Assistant Trainers concerned were not on course, an Inquiry into this matter will be held at a date to be fixed.

GHOST MARI (App R Nuqman) was fractious in the barrier, reared up and stumbled on jumping.  App R Nuqman subsequently reported that GHOST MARI was not striding out freely.  A post-race veterinary examination revealed that GHOST MARI returned lame off fore and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.

The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that GENERAL NIX (App P Haris) cast its near hind plate on returning and bled.  The gelding will be barred from racing for a period of three (3) months under MRA Rule 92(3)(a)&(b) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
