Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
KHales
Race Date:
2012/11/10
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
The charge was found to be proved.
Penalty:
On resuming the hearing we advised the parties of our reasons (as set out above) and that Ms Wynne’s Apprentice Jockey’s Licence was suspended from after the completion of racing today, the 10 November 2012, until after the completion of racing on 17 November 2012. This is a two (2) day suspension – the days being CJC on 14 and 17 November 2012.
Charge:
Alleged careless riding
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, the Millenium Hotels & Resorts Premier, an information was filed by Chief Stipendiary Steward Mr R. L. Neal alleging a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) by Apprentice Jockey Ms S. L. Wynne in that she rode carelessly. Ms Wynne was assisted at this hearing by Licensed Trainer Mr M. P. McCann.
The information reads as follows:
“I the above named informant allege that the above named Respondent committed a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) (in that) near the 1000m S. Wynne (Semper Plus) permitted her mount to shift in when not clear of Urunga resulting in that horse being carried in onto Platinum Dancer and Urunga, Platinum Dancer and Likeapins which was following, all being hampered and losing ground.”
Rules 638(1)(d) reads as follows:
“(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse: in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless…”
Ms Wynne had indicated on the information that this breach was admitted, and she confirmed this at the hearing. Ms Wynne also agreed that she understood the charge and Rule it was brought under.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Neal gave evidence and had Stipendiary Steward Mr Zarb use video coverage to show that near the 1000 metre mark Ms Wynne had allowed her horse to shift in gradually with resultant checks to horses as described in the charge. The shift inwards was gradual and resulted the horses inside Ms Wynne being squeezed for room and losing ground.
In explanation Ms Wynne said that “it all happened a little bit quick” and when she heard Kelly’s (Myers) voice she pulled out straight away.
Reasons for Decision:
As Ms Wynne had admitted the breach it was found to be proved in accordance with Rule 915(1)(d).
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty, Mr Neal advised that Ms Wynne has a clear record, and has just started riding and has had a limited number of rides. Mr Neal’s assessment of the breach is towards the lower end of the scale of seriousness. Mr Neal also submitted that this breach should be dealt with by means of a suspension, but that he would leave the length of that suspension to the Committee. It was also established that Ms Wynne only rode in the South Island.
Ms Wynne said that she did not want to delay the start of any suspension.
We adjourned to consider the matter of penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
In considering an appropriate penalty in this case we took into account that Ms Wynne had admitted the breach and has a good record. It was also relevant that the breach was assessed as being at the lower end of the scale, and that Ms Wynne only rides in the South Island. There were no aggravating circumstances.
Taking all the above matters into account we decided that a two (2) day suspension was appropriate in this case.
