A race review was called into this incident, which was followed by an objection being lodged by Jockey Clyde Leck, the rider of the second placed horse (NEVER ASK MORE) against the winner, BANKER’SSEVENTYTWO (CK Khaw) on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages.
After considering the evidence in this matter, the Board overruled the objection as it was satisfied that with or without the incident, NEVER ASK MORE would not have finished ahead of BANKER’SSEVENTYTWO.
Jockey Clyde Leck was fined RM5000/- under MRA Rule 122(3) as he lodged an objection which was deemed by the Stewards to be frivolous.
