Kurow JC 30 December 2011 – R 6 (instigating a protest)
ID: JCA13014
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Kurow JC - 30 December 2011
Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:

Race Date:
2011/12/30
Race Number:
R 6
Decision:
We are not satisfied that KIRKIE suffered interference when MISS MAXIMUSS first shifts out, as Mrs Allpress is clear at this time. When MISS MAXIMUSS moves out again, Mr Bullard does not have to check his horse and there is no loss of momentum. While KIRKIE, from that point, mounted its run wider on the track than Mr Bullard would have wished, we are satisfied that that horse merely followed out MISS MAXIMUSS and the run of 170 metres from that point to the line was uninterrupted, with MISS MAXIMUSS running straight. While MISS MAXIMUSS moved out when not a length and another clear of KIRKIE at the 200 metre mark, and KIRKIE continued to make ground on MISS MAXIMUSS, we are not satisfied that the interference was of such a nature, or to such a degree, that KIRKIE would have beaten MISS MAXIMUSS.
Placings are as the horses crossed the line.
Facts:
This was a protest by Mr Bullard, the rider of KIRKIE, placed 2nd, who alleged that the winner MISS MAXIMUSS, had breached the provisions of r 642(1) by interfering with KIRKIE over the concluding stages. The margin between 1st and 2nd was a nose. Placings were:
1st - (4) MISS MAXIMUSS
2nd - (2) KIRKIE
3rd - (1) SHOTOUTOFAGUN
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Bullard alleged MISS MAXIMUSS had twice come into his line of running and that he had been forced to take corrective action, check, and had been held up for a run. The first alleged incident was at the 300 metres, the second from after the 250 metre mark. Mr Cowan confirmed Mr Bullard’s allegations, and said that KIRKIE had lost momentum in that KIRKIE had had to check, and that Mr Bullard had had to stop using the whip. He asked us to note the extent to which MISS MAXIMUSS had moved outwards and, that in so doing, had forced KIRKIE to race wider on the track.
Mrs Allpress said that Mr Bullard had elected to come out when he could have gone for a run on the inside of MISS MAXIMUSS. Mr Pitman said that the videos demonstrated that Mrs Allpress was clear of KIRKIE when that horse first moved out. He said from that time, there was always a run for KIRKIE.
Mr Ray, Stipendiary Steward, was asked to comment. He said that he believed Mrs Allpress was clear of KIRKIE when she first moved out. He said that Mr Bullard was in some trouble when he moved up onto the heels of MISS MAXIMUSS and, although MISS MAXIMUSS had shifted out a second time, KIRKIE was not inconvenienced as a consequence of that movement.
Reasons for Decision:
Mr Bullard and Mr Cowan alleged that there were two incidents that were of concern. First, near the 300 metres, when Mrs Allpress moved out into the line of KIRKIE, and then, at about 200 metres, when MISS MAXIMUSS shifted out, forcing KIRKIE wider on the track.
We are satisfied, that from looking at the synchronised videos, when MISS MAXIMUSS first moves out, Mrs Allpress is clear of KIRKIE. KIRKIE then progresses up onto the heels of MISS MAXIMUSS, at which time Mr Bullard has to pull KIRKIE off MISS MAXIMUSS, and then elects to go for a run on the outer of MISS MAXIMUSS. A run was also presenting itself for KIRKIE on the inside of MISS MAXIMUSS. However, Mr Bullard had, by this time, decided to go for the run on the outside. MISS MAXIMUSS then shifts wider on the track and KIRKIE follows MISS MAXIMUSS. We are satisfied that Mrs Allpress is also clear of KIRKIE at this time. Mr Bullard then continues to ride out KIRKIE to the finish. KIRKIE makes ground gradually on MISS MAXIMUSS, but is still a nose behind MISS MAXIMUSS at the winning post.
