Meet Title:

Meet Chair:
GClapp
Meet Committee Member 1:
TUtikere
Race Date:
2018/08/30
Race Number:
R 5
Decision:
As Mr Mudhoo had admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, Mr Mudhoo’s licence to ride in races is suspended for a period to of 2 weeks. That is from conclusion of racing Thursday 30 August 2018 up to and including 16 September 2018.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 5, the, BARNESWOOD FARM STAKES DAY 20th October R72 1400, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr D Wadley, against Class B Rider, Mr K Mudhoo, alleging careless riding in that he “… failed to ride his mount ‘FORGED’ out to the end of the Race when a reasonable chance of finishing in 4th position.”
Rule 636(1)(d) reads as follows;
(1) A Person:
(d) being the rider of a horse in a Race, must ride his horse out to the end of the Race if there is a reasonable chance of it running into a position for which there is prize money to be awarded or dividend to be declared.
Mr Mudhoo with the assistance of Mr McCann, acknowledged that he understood the Rule and confirmed his admission of the breach.
Mr Wadley, had Stipendiary Steward, Mr McLaughlin demonstrate the incident by video using the front and side on views. He identified Mr Mudhoo and his mount FORGED at the 50m mark. He identified where Mr Mudhoo had ceased hand movement and stood up in the irons and was beaten by a nose for 4th place, alleging that he had failed to ride the horse out.
Mr Mudhoo said that the horse had no more left in it.
Mr McCann said that the horse was vetted and found to be slightly distressed and had a slow recovery rate and that the horse had not raced for a while and was probably not suited to 1400m.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Wadley said that Mr Mudhoo had a very good record and was the leading apprentice. He confirmed that he has been riding for 3½ years had had 811 rides and had ridden 84 winners. He added that the Stewards believed that this was at the lower end of the scale and that Mr Mudhoo had a very good record. However, he submitted that a rider has a duty to ride the horse until the end of the race especially in this race as it was only a 5-horse field. Mr Wadley said that the JCA penalty guide recommended a 2-week suspension for a breach which related to 4th placing.
Mr McCann for Mr Mudhoo said that those were the rules and that they could not argue with that.
Deferment was discussed with Mr Mudhoo but he stated that he did not require a deferment for any period of suspension.
Reasons for Penalty:
The JCA Penalty Guide states that the starting point relates to the potential placing deemed to have been lost as the result of the breach. In this case, a 4th placing, it is a recommended 2-week suspension. The Committee agreed with the Stewards submissions that this was a low-range breach. We didn’t see there being any aggravating factors that would warrant a penalty uplift. A mitigating factor was Ms Mudhoo’s admission of the breach and good record. However, we believed a 2-week suspension was appropriate.
