Meet Title:
Canterbury Racing - 27 October 2018
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 1:
DAnderson
Race Date:
2018/10/27
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the Committee deemed the charge proved.
Penalty:
Considering that Mr Jogoo will be under a period of suspension until the conclusion of racing on 4 November 2018, the period of suspension relative to this breach will commence from the conclusion of racing on 4 November, until the conclusion of racing on 16 November 2018.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6 (ZACINTO STAKES 1600m), a Listed Race, Information A7738 was filed with the Judicial Committee.
It alleged a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) and stated that: ”G Jogoo (FIRESHOW) permitted his mount to shift inwards passing the 200 metres causing MISS CURIOUS (B Murray) and EMILY MARGARET (K Mudhoo) to check.”
Rule 638(1)(d) states:
“A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be: … (d) careless.”
Mr Jogoo, assisted by Mr D Walsh, indicated to the committee that he understood Rule 638(1)(d), and that he did admit the breach.
Using the available head-on film, Mr McLaughlin identified all three runners as they approached the 200 metres. FIRESHOW was racing to the outside, but slightly ahead of, MISS CURIOUS and EMILY MARGARET. Mr Jogoo was observed to shift inwards with a drawn stick. As a result of his inwards movement he had caused a check to Mssrs Murray and Mudhoo. Using the side-on film, Mr McLaughlin identified that Mr Jogoo was barely a length clear when he lay in, causing significant checks to both runners.
Mr Walsh stated that the incident was pretty clear cut, and he had nothing further to add.
Submissions for Penalty:
In presenting Mr Jogoo’s record, Mr Oatham identified that this was his fourth breach within the previous 12 month period. Those previous breached being: 3 December 2017 - Otago, 8 days; 28 September 2018 - Gore, 7 days; 24 October - Otago, 5 days. He identified that a fourth breach for a South Island rider was getting concerning, and that Mr Jogoo should watch that he did not allow his record to spiral any further. He submitted that the breach was within the mid-range as there was a significant check to both runners, especially EMILY MARGARET.
He also informed the Committee that connections of that runner had viewed the films post-race with a view to lodging a protest, but given the margin they elected not to do so.
Mr Oatham also identified that the race was a black-type one with significant stakes for South Island connections, and that it was a rare opportunity for three year old fillies to obtain black-type placings.
Mr Walsh believed that Mr Jogoo had got caught up in the moment, as this was a pick-up ride for him. It was clear that he had made an error, and once he was in the clear he should have straightened, but had instead decided to give FIRESHOW two slaps with the whip, which was not the best choice in these circumstances.
In response to a question regarding any potential deferment of any period of suspension, Mr Oatham advised the Committee that given Mr Jogoo’s breach on 24 October, he was already due to commence a period of suspension from the close of racing on 27 October until the close of racing on 4 November 2018.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee considered all of the submissions placed before it. It is clear from the side-on film that Mr Jogoo was barely one length clear when he opted to move inwards as he passed the 200 metres mark. This resulted in a significant check to MISS CURIOUS and EMILY MARGARET over the concluding stages of a black-type race. This is clearly visible on the head-on film. We assess the level of carelessness to fall within the mid-range, which in line with the JCA Penalty Guidelines attracts a starting point of an 8 day period of suspension. When we consider the aggravating features; namely that Mr Jogoo’s record indicates this is his third breach within a month for a South Island rider, along with the fact that this occurred in a Listed Race, where there are limited opportunities for races of this nature in the South Island, we uplift this to one of 10 days. In mitigation we apply Mr Jogoo’s admission of the breach. The end result will be a 9 day period of suspension.
