Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Wanganui JC - 8 May 2016
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 1:
TBird
Race Date:
2016/05/08
Race Number:
Race 4
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
Apprentice Singh's Licence is suspended from the close of racing on Thursday 12 May until the close of racing on Saturday 21 May. The three day suspension incorporates the Taranaki (14th), Hawke's Bay (19th) and Rangitikei (21st) meetings.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 5 (G Bristol & Sons Maiden 1360m), Information A7662 was filed with the judicial committee. It alleged a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) in that "M Singh allowed his mount to shift out from the start and cause checks to DUPLICITY and DALRIADA when not the required distance clear."
Mr Singh, assisted by Mr Auret, confirmed that he understood the rule and that he did admit the breach.
Using the head-on film, Stipendiary Steward Mr Goodwin identified Mr Singh's mount SEA STAR which had drawn barrier number one. He also identified DUPLICITY (M Tanaka) and DALRIADA (R Hannam), which had drawn barriers two and three respectively. Soon after the jump Mr Singh's mount had shifted outwards and had dictated both of those runners. It was clear that Mr Hannam had lost his position as a result of the carelessness and had to settle at the rear of the field. Mr Goodwin believed that while it was clear that Mr Singh had some difficulty in holding his horse soon after the jump, he had nonetheless been careless for three to four strides.
Mr Singh reinforced the view that SEA STAR was racing very greenly, and asked the committee to take this factor into consideration.
Submissions for Penalty:
In presenting Mr Singh's record, Mr Goodwin identified him as an apprentice who had no previous breaches of this rule. He stated that Mr Singh had a obligation to keep his mount straight and on this occasion this did not occur. He believed the level of carelessness was at the low end, but submitted that a period of suspension was appropriate.
Mr Auret stated that the films clearly identified that Mr Singh should have acted much quicker than he did. He agreed that the level of carelessness should be placed at the low end and that a period of suspension was appropriate. He said that Mr Singh had commitments at Otaki on 12 May, and sought a deferment of any period of suspension to allow him to fulfil those commitments. Mr Singh confirmed that he was an apprentice that only rode in the Central Districts region.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee considered all of the submissions placed before it, and determined that a period of suspension was appropriate. Mr Hannam was entitled to be where he was, and Mr Singh's carelessness, albeit for three or four strides, meant that DALRIADA had to settle well back in the field at an early stage of the race. In the context of this incident, we have independently assessed the level of carelessness to fall at the low end. Adopting the JCA Penalty Guidelines starting point of a five day period of suspension, the committee determined that there were a number of mitigating factors. In addition to the low level of carelessness, factors applied in mitigation included Mr Singh's admission of the breach, his very good record, his apprentice status and the racing manners of SEA STAR. Accordingly, a three day period of suspension was an appropriate penalty to impose on this occasion. The committee also noted Mr Singh's request to defer any period of suspension until the conclusion of racing at Otaki on 12 May.
