Apprentice Fadzlei Ismail
was today suspended three months for his handling of WHO DARE WINS who
finished second to GOLDEN MIGHT in a Class 3 - 1200m handicap at Sungei Besi
on Jun 6. The
Stewards concluded an inquiry into the running and handling of WHO DARE WINS
here today. Evidence was taken from Fadzlei in the presence of his master,
trainer Johnny Lim.
Fadzlei pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride
to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that
whilst riding WHO DARE WINS in this race, between the 400m mark to the 250m
mark, he failed to ride his horse with sufficient vigour to the satisfaction
of the Stewards.
When deciding on penalty, the Stewards took into consideration the facts of
this case, Fadzlei’s points of mitigation and his record. Fadzlei was
suspended from riding in races for a period of three months with effect from
today and to expire on Sep 13, both days inclusive. He was advised of his
right of appeal. |
