On inquiry, App A Suriya (NORTHERN KNIGHT) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under MRA Rule 44(9)(a)(ii) in that he used his whip shortly after the start thereby allowing it to shift in, crowding M ELEVEN onto ASIAN TIGER and LET’S COME ON BABY.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App A Suriya’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of two (2) Malaysian race days, to be deferred, with effect from 28 August 2023 and to expire on 9 September 2023, both dates inclusive. He was advised of his Right of Appeal.
