Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
DAnderson
Race Date:
2017/12/08
Race Number:
R8
Decision:
As Mr Beeharry had admitted the breach, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, Mr Beeharry’s Class B Jockeys licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing 15 December up to and including 21 December 2017.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 8, the Helston & Associates Rating 75, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr J McLaughlin, against Class B Apprentice Rider, Mr R Beeharry, alleging careless riding near the 350m, in that he permitted his mount, MYSTERY MAN, to shift outwards when not clear of HONOUR THAT, ridden by Mr T Moseley which clipped a heel.
“(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless”
Mr Beeharry had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted, which he confirmed at the hearing. Mr Beeharry also agreed that he understood the charge and the Rule it was brought under. Mr Beeharry was assisted at the hearing by trainer Mrs K Parsons.
Mr McLaughlin, with the assistance of Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Davidson, gave evidence and used video coverage to show that shortly after turning for home and near the 350m, MYSTERY MAN, ridden by Mr R Beeharry, was racing approximately 6 wide with HONOR THAT racing on its outer. Mr Davidson pointed out Mr Beeharry, who drew the whip and began to ride the horse out. Mr Davidson stated that Mr Beeharry allowed his mount to drift outwards into the line of HONOUR THAT, who had to ease, touching a heel and dipping. Mr Davidson estimated that Mr Beeharry had shifted out approximately 1 to 1½ horse widths when not clear of Mr Moseley.
Mrs Parson stated that the horse was a difficult horse to ride and tended to drift when ridden out. She said that Mr Beeharry got excited as he was in contention at the home turn and failed to steer the horse.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr McLaughlin stated that Mr Beeharry’s penalty record was clear. Mr McLaughlin stated the JCA Penalty Guide provided for a 6 National day suspension for a low range breach. He said that the breach was low level and submitted that a 5 National day suspension be considered as penalty.
Mr Beeharry and Mrs Parsons elected to make no submissions on penalty.
Deferment was discussed with Mr Beeharry and Mrs Parsons who requested a 7-day deferment as Mr Beeharry had commitments at the upcoming meeting at Dunedin on 15 December.
Reasons for Penalty:
The JCA Penalty Guide starting point for a low-range breach of this rule is a 6-day suspension. The Committee agreed with the Stewards that this was a low-range breach so therefore adopted the 6-day starting point. We determined there were no aggravating factors to consider, therefore no uplift in penalty was warranted.
However, we were able to afford Mr Beeharry a combined discount for his admission of the breach and his clear record. This we set at 1 day. We therefore determined that a 5-National day suspension was an appropriate penalty.
Mr Beeharry's request for a 7-day deferment until after racing on 15 December was granted.
