Meet Title:
Racing Tauranga - 18 November 2017
Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
ASmith
Race Date:
2017/11/18
Race Number:
R3
Decision:
As Mrs Satherley admitted the breach the Committee find the charge proved.
Penalty:
Mrs Satherley was fined $200.
Facts:
Following the running of race 3, Fertco 3YO, an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 636(1)(d).The Informant, Mr Williamson, alleged that Mrs Satherley failed to ride LADY ROSSA out to the finish when there was a reasonable chance of finishing into 5th placing.
Mrs Satherley acknowledged that she understood the Rule and confirmed her admission of the breach.
Rule 636(1) (d) provides: A person being the rider of a horse in a race must ride his or her horse out to the end of the race if there is a reasonable chance of it running into a position for which there is prize money to be awarded or a dividend to be declared.
Mr Williamson advised the Committee the official margin between 5th and 6th was a short head and produced the photo finish as evidence. He said LADY ROSSA finished in 6th position.
Mr Coles demonstrated the incident using the available video footage. He identified Mrs Satherley and showed that she stopped riding her mount out 3 strides before the finish line. He said that MOFARA (5th) was finishing quickly from the rear of the field and stated that Mrs Satherley misjudged the finish.
Mrs Satherley admitted that she “sat up” on her mount close to the finish line when it was getting tired.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson produced Mrs Satherley record which showed no previous breach under this Rule in the last 12 months. He said that 5th prizemoney was $625 and said that the RIU records showed that the 3 most recent breaches for the same offence incurred fines in the range of $200 to $250.
Mrs Satherley made no submissions on penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented. The Penalty Guide for Judicial Committees has a sliding scale for breaches of this Rule. The starting point relates to the potential placing deemed to have been lost as a result of the breach. A rider potentially missing out on 5th place faces a starting point of a $300 fine.
When reviewing the incident the Committee observed it was clear that Mrs Satherley “sat up” 3 strides prior to the finish line. We viewed that LADY ROSSA was weakening over the concluding stages of the race whereas MOFARA was finishing stronger down the outside of the track. We identified that Mr Bayliss the rider of MOFARA also sat up 2 strides prior to the finish line but his horse had more momentum than LADY ROSSA.
The Committee adopted the JCA Penalty Guide starting point of a $300 fine.
The mitigating factors were Mrs Satherley’s admission of the breach and her clear record in relation to this Rule for which we collectively afforded a $100 reduction.
