--
DECISION AND REASONS:
--Following the running of Race 2, Phil Murfitt Orthodontist Mobile Pace, an information instigating a protest was filed by Chief Stipendiary Steward, Mr N R Escott, against SUPER KID (P T Court), placed 3rd by the judge, on the grounds of interference to JACCKA PISTOL (J R Dunn), placed 13th by the judge, with approximately 200 metres to run.
----Mr Court represented the connections of SUPER KID at the hearing of the information. Part-owner, Mr K T McCormack was also present.
----Mr J R Dunn stated that, with approximately 200 metres to run, YULETIDE (A D Hastie) had been in the 1/1 and pulled out. Mr Dunn had been 3-back on the markers and moved out on to the back of TIPTOETHRUTHETULIPS (M P Jones). As Mr Dunn was half-way through the gap with YULETIDE outside him, Mr Court, who had been in the trail, came out and the front legs of JACCKA PISTOL clipped the sulky wheel of Mr Court's horse.
----Mrs K R Williams, Stipendiary Steward, showed video replays of the incident. She had viewed the incident from the patrol box at the entrance to the home straight. She pointed out SUPER KID, racing in the trail, and JACCKA PISTOL behind it with
----both horses looking for runs. Mr Court angled SUPER KID out from the trail into the
--rightful line of JACCKA PISTOL and made contact with that horse and forced it out onto YULETIDE causing it to break. There was no room for Mr Court to move out, Mrs Williams alleged. All of the movement was from the inside, Mrs Williams alleged. The contact was apparent from the video replay.
----When questioned by the Committee, Mr Dunn stated that, when Mr Court came out, he had nowhere to go as he had YULETIDE racing outside him. He said that his horse was "still going all right". He had only commenced his run and his chances were affected, Mr Dunn said.
----Mr Court did not deny that he had caused the interference as alleged. He said that when he first went into the gap it was "touch and go".
----The Committee was satisfied that, firstly, SUPER KID driven by Mr Court did interfere with JACCKA PISTOL driven by Mr Dunn and, secondly, that the progress or chance of JACCKA PISTOL was affected by that interference. The Committee, therefore, has a discretion as to whether to relegate SUPER KID. Having regard to the clear-cut nature and the severity of the interference and to the fact that it occurred at a critical stage of the race, with 200 metres to run, and extinguished the chances of JACCKA PISTOL, the Committee exercised its discretion to uphold the protest and to relegate SUPER KID to 13th placing.
----Consequent upon the relegation of SUPER KID, the amended placings for the race are as follows:
--1st 7 Handichief
--2nd 8 Tiptoethruthetulips
--3rd 1 Sweet Emotion
--4th 3 Yuletide
--5th 14 Ruby Vale
