ID: JCA16033
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Whangarei RC - 16 May 2018
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Race Date:
2018/05/16
Race Number:
Race 5
Decision:
As Mr Kareem admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
The Committee grants a deferment to Mr Kareem’s suspension pursuant to Rule 1106(2).
Accordingly, Mr Kareem had his license to ride in races suspended for a period to commence after racing on 19 May and conclude after racing on 27 May 2018.
The race meeting scheduled for Riverton on 20 May was not included in the penalty because the declaration of riders had closed.
Facts:
Following the running of race 5, The Homestead Sports Bar Reuben Lewis Memorial, an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 638 (1)(d). The Informant, Mr Coles, alleged that near the 1000 metres Mr Kareem allowed his mount WALKIN’ BY to shift in when insufficiently clear of SLEEK SECRET which was dictated into the line of OHCEEDEE which was checked.
Rule 638(1) (d) provides: A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless.
Mr Coles read the Rule aloud to Mr Kareem.
Mr Kareem acknowledged that he understood the Rule and confirmed that he admitted the breach. Mr Harris assisted Mr Kareem at the hearing.
Mr Jones demonstrated the incident using the available video footage. He identified that near the 1000 metres Mr Kareem allowed his mount to shift in from a 5 wide position to a 4 wide position when only a bare length clear of SLEEK SECRET. As a result that runner was dictated into the line of OHCEEDEE which was checked.
Mr Kareem said that he accepted Mr Jones’ interpretation of the incident.
Mr Harris pointed out on the video films that Mr Kareem lost concentration when riding his mount forward. He said that Mr Kareem took his eye off where he was going.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Coles said that today was Mr Kareem’s 2nd race day ride and he made an error of judgement which caused a check to OHCEEDEE. He said to Mr Kareem’s credit was his admission of the breach and also that he was an inexperienced apprentice rider. He described the level of carelessness as low end and a penalty in line with that should be imposed.
Mr Kareem advised that he had a firm engagement on 19 May at Te Rapa and requested a deferment to his proposed suspension.
Mr Harris said that Mr Kareem would learn from today’s experience. He was of the view that Mr Kareem would be placed riding on heavy tracks.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented.
The video films showed that Mr Kareem allowed his mount to shift in 1 horse width near the 1000 metres when not the required distance clear of SLEEK SECRET. This result in that runner being crowded onto OHCEEDEE which suffered a small check. The Committee deemed the level of carelessness as low range and the JCA starting point of 6 national riding days was adopted.
The mitigating factors were Mr Kareem’s admission of the breach and his inexperience for which he was afforded a 1 day reduction in penalty.
After taking into account all the above factors the Committee considered that an appropriate suspension was 5 national riding days.
