ID: JCA16057
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 1 December 2012
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2012/12/01
Race Number:
R10
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
From the standard starting point of 5 days and having particular regard to the mitigating factors above, the committee discounts this penalty to one of a 4 day suspension.
Accordingly we order a suspension of Mr Waddell's license from after racing on 8 December and concluding after racing on 14 December 2012 (4 days).
Charge:
Careless Riding
Facts:
Following race 10 an information was filed pursuant to rule 638 (1) (d). Mr Oatham alleged that Mr J Waddell, rider of XALTED, permitted his mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of SAVED BY THE BELL which was checked near the 500 metres.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Oatham demonstrated the video films which showed XALTED racing in the trail passing the 600 metres. At this point Mr Waddell (XALTED) looked to come out for clear space so he angled his mount out which the films verified through XALTED'S head being turned sideways. Mr Oatham submitted that Mr Waddell was approximately 3/4 length clear of SAVED BY THE BELL (M Sweeney) when he moved into its line. He said that Mr Sweeney had to check quite sharply but conceded SAVED BY THE BELL did overreact which makes the check appear more severe than necessary.
Mr Waddell, in admitting the breach, said he was disappointed in himself by putting Mr Sweeney in the position he did. He did say that rider, Mr Dell, who was on his outside was tending to lay in but conceded he himself made an error by coming off the fence and he was to blame for the check to Mr Sweeney.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham stated that Mr Waddell had only incurred 1 suspension in the last 12 months which was a very good record. He said Mr Waddell had admitted the breach and had been very cooperative with the stewards. Mr Oatham submitted that, while the check was midrange, he said, because of the over reaction by SAVED BY THE BELL, he believed the penalty should be at the low end of the scale.
When Mr Waddell was asked what commitments he needed to fulfil in the next 7 days he said he had engagements up to and including 8 December. He added that he rode extensively throughout the country but admitted that he was not going to the Winton meeting on 10 December.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all submissions and evidence. In Mr Waddell's favour are his very good record, his admission of the breach and the over reaction to the interference of SAVED BY THE BELL. However he was obviously not the required distance clear when he angled out resulting in the check to SAVED BY THE BELL. The committee independently assesses this breach to be at the low end. They also commended Mr Waddell on his cooperation with the stewards and his honesty regarding his future riding engagements and their locations.
