Saimee Jumaat, who has been
booting home winners at amazing strike rate since resuming last September
after a disqualification, will have to take a breather for the next one
month.
The Singaporean, who became the first local rider to chalk up 1,000 winners
two weekends ago, has been suspended one month for careless riding which
resulted in two jockeys being dislodged in the third race at Kranji last
Saturday.
At the conclusion of an inquiry today, Saimee, the rider of SUCCESS WONG,
was found guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(c) in
that whilst riding in the third race on Saturday, near the 750m, he shifted
his mount outwards from behind DUSTIN (B Vorster), when insufficiently
clear, thereby carrying ROYAL KNIGHT (O Bosson) out into the running of LORD
OCTAGON (S John), which clipped the heels of ROYAL KNIGHT, fell and
dislodged its rider. As a consequence, STANDBYME (V Sivan), which was
following, was also severely inconvenienced resulting in its rider being
dislodged. When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into account his
record and the degree of interference and carelessness. Saimee was suspended
from riding in races for a period of one month with immediate effect from
today to December 11 and was advised of his right of appeal.  |
