Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Tapanui RC - 23 December 2018
Meet Chair:
GHall
Meet Committee Member 1:
MConway
Race Date:
2018/12/23
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As Mr Murray has admitted the breach, it is found to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Murray’s licence is suspended for 6 National days. This is from the end of racing on 28 December up to and including 5 January 2019.
Facts:
Mr Davidson alleged that Mr Murray (ABOLI) in race 7, the DYNES TRANSPORT TAPANUI CUP RATING 72 2000 metres, permitted his mount to shift inwards passing the 1600 metres causing SHANZINO to be crowded and to lose ground with ROAD TO REDEMPTION being placed in restricted room.
Mr Davidson informed the Committee that the respondent’s employer, Mr K Tyler, had viewed the videos with Mr Murray before the respondent decided to admit the breach.
Mr McLaughlin, Stipendiary Steward, demonstrated on the films that Mr Murray was 4 wide looking to shift closer to the rail. He shifted in just before the bend and took the running line of SHANZINO, which lost its position and ROAD TO REDEMPTION had to steady. He demonstrated that Mr Murray was not his length and another clear.
Mr Murray said that he had not turned the head of his horse very sharply into SHANZINO (Mr Chowdhoory). He believed Mr Chowdhoory was also trying to push ROAD TO REDEMPTION in, although he accepted this was not much. Mr Murray acknowledged he had put pressure on Mr Chowdhoory.
Mr Moseley spoke on behalf of Mr Murray and said in his view, despite the respondent’s actions, the horses had ended up where they would have been anyway. Thus Mr Murray’s actions had had minimal effect. Mr Murray had just caused slight tightening.
When questioned by the Committee, Mr Murray said he agreed the point of the bend was not an ideal place to shift in as horses tended to step in anyway. He said he thought that Mr Chowdhoory was going to move to the one off and he had not seen that Mr Muniandy (ROAD TO REDEMPTION) was to Mr Chowdhoory’s inside.
Mr Davidson responded that Mr Chowdhoory had said he had thought he would have ended up with a closer run had Mr Murray not tightened him.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson produced the respondent’s record which showed three suspensions under this rule. There were two at Riccarton in August when he was suspended for 8 and 10 days, respectively. His record had been clear until Invercargill on 22 November when the suspension was 7 days.
Mr Davidson said the breach was low end. Mr Murray had put pressure on inside runners. He believed that Mr Murray’s record had to be viewed in the context that he was a busy apprentice.
Mr Murray sought a deferment of any suspension that we were to impose until after Timaru.
Reasons for Penalty:
We believe that the breach is low-range. Mr Murray has shifted in close to the point of the bend and has tightened Mr Chowdhoory, which in turn has led to ROAD TO REDEMPTION being placed in restricted room. The check, as Mr Davidson has accepted, is not the worst check but Mr Chowdhoory has had to take hold briefly.
The starting point is 6 national days. We accept Mr Murray’s record is a neutral factor when consideration is given to the fact that he is a fairly busy South Island rider. We note also that he has admitted the breach. We do not increase or reduce the starting point.
