Auckland RC 1 January 2011 – R 9
ID: JCA14898
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 1 January 2011
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 2:
GTankard
Race Date:
2011/01/01
Race Number:
R9
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly we impose a suspension on Mr Bradley from riding in races which is to follow on from his earlier suspension which concluded on 12 January 2011. This means this suspension is to start after racing on 12 January and conclude after racing on 19 January 2011 (5 riding days). In addition we impose a fine of $500.
Charge:
Careless Riding.
Facts:
Mr Oatham demonstrated the video films and pointed out to the committee SHOWCAUSE, ridden by Mr D Bradley, racing in a 4 wide position approaching the 1700 metres. From this point and approaching the turn out of the straight, Mr Bradley allowed his mount to shift in to a 3 wide position. It was clearly evident on the films that Mr Bradley was insufficiently clear of NATSINGA (H Kasim) when moving in.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Oatham said that as a result of SHOWCAUSE coming in from a 4 wide position to one of 3 wide, this resulted in NATSINGA being taken in and into the line of DAWN GHOST .(D Johnson) which received quite a severe check.
Mr Bradley stated after seeing the films he agreed he had been careless and had not given Mr Kasim enough room when moving in.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr George reminded the committee this was a Group 2 race with a stake of $100,000. He said Mr Bradley had gained an advantage by moving in to a 3 wide position when he was not entitled to do so. He submitted a suspension of 5 - 6 days and a fine of $500 - $1000 would be appropriate.
Mr Bradley said he did not agree he had gained an advantage by moving in one horse width. He submitted a fine as well as a suspension would be unfair.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions. To Mr Bradley's credit he has admitted the breach and his record is excellent although he has already incurred a 4 day suspension in race 7. Aggravating factors are the status of the race being a Group 2 and the relatively severe check received by DAWN GHOST through Mr Bradley's carelessness. The committee is satisfied Mr Bradley did gain an advantage at a stage of the race when he was not entitled to. A suspension and a fine for the one breach should only be used in special circumstances. We have considered Mr George's submission that a fine of $500 - $1000 should be imposed in the case of Mr Bradley. The committee is satisfied that a fine at the low end of what Mr George has submitted is appropriate. The combined penalty of a fine and a suspension should not amount to a higher penalty than one which would have been imposed with riding days only. However it is there to act as a deterrent in races such as this which is the committee's reason for agreeing to the submission.
