ID: JCA12337
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Southland RC - 16 February 2019
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 1:
MConway
Race Date:
2019/02/16
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the Committee deemed the charge proved.
Penalty:
Mr Prastiyou’s Licence is suspended from the conclusion of racing on Sunday 17 February until the conclusion of racing on Sunday 24 February 2019.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 1 (SOUTHERN INSULATION MAIDEN 1200m), Information A9071 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It alleged a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) by Licensed Rider Mr D Prastiyou. The Information alleged that: ”D Prastiyou (PESHAWAR) permitted his mount to shift inwards passing the 300m when not clear of SHOCK AND AWE (T Moseley) which was checked”.
Rule 638(1)(d) states:
“A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be: … (d) careless.”
Mr Prastiyou confirmed to the committee that he understood Rule 638(1)(d), and that he admitted the breach.
Using the available back straight and side-on films, Mr McLaughlin identified Mr Prastiyou when approaching the 300 metres to move outwards before directing his mount back inwards and checking SHOCK AND AWE (T Moseley), which was located to his inside. Mr Mclaughlin said that the films had demonstrated that he had ended right up on Mr Moseley’s hind quarters, and that he was approximately a bare length to ¾ length clear at that time.
When invited to comment on the incident, using the back straight film, Mr Prastiyou said he was still clear until he had brushed Mr Turner’s horse (MUSTARD). At that point PESHAWAR had shifted in and blundered as a result of the brush; he said that the horse had also done this at its last start. Mr Prastiyou maintained that while he had kept control, the brush with MUSTARD and subsequent reaction of his horse moving inwards, related to his horse’s racing manners.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson advised that Mr Prastiyou had a clean record under this rule and had recently returned to riding in the South Island after previously riding up north. He said that he was a well-sought after rider who was getting plenty of rides. Stewards placed the carelessness at the low-end as while Mr Moseley had received a nasty check, there was still an obligation for Mr Prastiyou to steer his mount. While Mr Prastiyou had steered his mount inwards to avoid trouble, there was still an obligation on him, in doing so, to not pass the trouble on to others.
Mr Prastiyou advised that any period of suspension could commence as soon as possible, and he had nothing further to add.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee considered all of the submissions placed before it. It is clear from the films that approaching the 300m, Mr Prastiyou’s horse made an inwards move closer to the rail. This had resulted in an abrupt check to SHOCK AND AWE to his inside. While it appeared that Mr Prastiyou did attempt to take some action as part of the inwards movement, he was not the required distance clear. As such, we have independently assessed the carelessness on his part to fall at the low end and as identified in the JCA Penalty Guidelines adopt a six day period of suspension. In mitigation we consider his early admission of the breach and his good record under the rule. The end result will be a five day period of suspension.
