Facts:
Following the running of Race 11, Peninsular Beachfront Resort “Mooloolaba” Mobile Pace, an information instigating a protest was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr N G McIntyre, by PARADISE CITY (M J Williamson), which lost its driver, against TEN DIAMONDS (R T May) placed 4th by the judge, alleging that, “in the early stages of the run home TEN DIAMONDS shifted outwards severely checking PARADISE CITY causing this horse to lose its driver”.
Mr L J Hanrahan, part-owner of TEN DIAMONDS, was present at the hearing of the information.
Rule 869 provides as follows:
(8) The Judicial Committee may in addition to any other penalty which may be imposed pursuant to Rule 1003 thereof place any horse which:
(a) may have gained an advantage by any conduct or interference prohibited by any preceding provision of this Rule and/or
(b) may have interfered with, or whose horseman may have interfered with, the progress or chance of any other horse or horses –
immediately after any horse from which it may have gained an advantage or whose chances or progress may have been affected thereby.
Submissions for Decision:
At the commencement of the hearing, Mr Hanrahan indicated that the protest was not contested by the connections of TEN DIAMONDS.
Mr McIntyre showed a video replay of the final stages of the race. He pointed out TEN DIAMONDS, driven by Mr May, which was racing outside the leader PADDY BROWN, veer out quite sharply, approximately 250 metres from the finish, and come into contact with PARADISE CITY on its outside. As a result PARADISE CITY broke from its gait and dislodged its driver, Mr Williamson.
Reasons for Decision:
It was clear that TEN DIAMONDS had caused severe interference to PARADISE CITY as alleged. The latter runner was still in contention at that stage of the race and its chances were completely extinguished. Mr Hanrahan, on behalf of the connections of TEN DIAMONDS, did not contest the protest. It was a clear case for relegation.
