Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Canterbury Racing - 3 October 2015
Meet Chair:
KHales
Meet Committee Member 1:
DAnderson
Race Date:
2015/10/03
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
As Mr Jogoo has admitted the breach, it is thereby deemed to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Jogoo is suspended for two race riding days.
He has applied for a deferment of penalty as his employer wishes him to ride at Timaru on Friday 9th October 2015. That application is granted.
The period of suspension will therefore encompass meetings at Winton on Sunday 11th October and Ashburton on Saturday 17th October 2015.
Facts:
As a result of an incident near 100 metres from the winning post, in Race 2, the "Plough Hotel Rating 75", Apprentice Jockey GA Jogoo was charged with careless riding. The Stipendiary Stewards alleged in the information as follows:
"Apprentice G Jogoo permitted his mount "Madam Bentley" to shift outwards near the 100 metres crowding and checking
"La Veuve" (D Prastiyou)"
Mr Jogoo was accompanied in the hearing, by Apprentice Mentor W Harnett. Mr Jogoo admitted the breach.
The incident was demonstrated on the video coverage, by Stipendiary Steward L Tidmarsh, from the head on and side on camera views. It was a keenly fought finish, which was demonstrated by the margins at the winning post, namely, a short head between first and second, a long head between second and third, a nose between third and fourth and a long head between fourth and fifth. Mr Jogoo's horse finished in fifth position. At the point where the incident occurred, horses were spread across the track and all were under a hard ride for the winning post.
Mr Jogoo's mount was for a time racing on terms with "La Veuve" but whilst under a hard ride, "Madam Bentley" began to move outwards, with Mr Jogoo making no apparent effort to straighten. The result was that "crowding" began to occur, with Mr Prastiyou being the most affected.
Mr Harnett pointed out that Mr Jogoo was whipping his horse on the shoulder in an endeavour to straighten it, but this action was ineffectual.
Mr Jogoo got the better of Mr Prastiyou, and continued on an outward movement with the consequence being that Mr Prastiyou had to "check" his mount in order to avoid heels. The video showed that Mr Jogoo moved out at least five horse widths overall.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson told the hearing that Mr Jogoo has had one suspension in the last two years, namely for two days on 1st January 2015 and has had 98 raceday rides since that suspension. He said that Mr Jogoo is demonstrating good skill as a jockey, and is sought after when an apprentice rider is required by trainers, other than his employer. Mr Davidson submitted that in the Stipendiary Stewards' assessment, the degree of carelessness was mid to low range. In response to a question from the Chair, Mr Davidson agreed that "La Neuve" was always a "beaten" horse. Nevertheless, he submitted it was entitled to the racing line it was on. He called for a suspension of 2-3 days. Mr Davidson said that Mr Jogoo was classified as a South Island rider.
Mr Harnett, on Mr Jogoo's behalf, submitted that the degree of interference was not high, and that credit should be given for Mr Jogoo's good record.
Reasons for Penalty:
Having carefully assessed the incident which gave rise to the breach and having satisfied ourselves that Mr Jogoo is classified as a South Island Rider, we therefore adopt as our starting point, a suspension as recommended by the Judicial Control Authority's Penalty Guide, of three days.
We do not consider that there were any particular aspects of Mr Jogoo's riding, or the consequences thereof, which warrant an uplift on our starting point.
However, considering that Mr Jogoo has a good record, and that the degree of carelessness was medium to low, it is appropriate to allow him a discount of one day by way of mitigation on our starting point.
