ID: JCA21434
Hearing Type (Code):
thoroughbred-racing
Decision: Following race 4 an information was filed by the informant, Mr J Oatham, pursuant to Rule 871(1)(d). He alleges that Mr C Lammas permitted his mount CASABELLA LANE to shift out near the 200 metres when not clear of MISS TUPPY resulting in that horse being checked, clipping heels and blundering.
DECISION & REASON:
--Following race 4 an information was filed by the informant, Mr J Oatham, pursuant to Rule 871(1)(d). He alleges that Mr C Lammas permitted his mount CASABELLA LANE to shift out near the 200 metres when not clear of MISS TUPPY resulting in that horse being checked, clipping heels and blundering. Mr Lammas pleaded guilty to the charge.
----
Mr C George, Stipendiary Steward, demonstrated the video films and showed where at the 200 metre mark Mr Lammas angled his mount out, which was full of running at the time, and take the rightful line of MISS TUPPY on his outside. Mr Lammas was not the required distance clear.
----
Mr Oatham submitted that the Committee should consider Mr Lammas’ record which shows 2 charges in the last 6 months, and his guilty plea. He said that Mr Lammas was fortunate a fall did not occur as a result of Mr Lammas coming out, and believed it warranted a 5 to 7 day suspension.
--Mr Lammas said in his defence that his mount had ducked out more than he anticipated. He then asked for a 7 day dispensation as he was riding DESERT FLIGHT in the Rotorua Cup on 3 May.
----
The Committee considered all evidence as presented, and reviewed the films. Before imposing a penalty the Committee took into account the following:
--1. Mr Lammas’ riding record.
--2. His guilty plea.
--3. The level of carelessness which the Committee considers to be at the higher end. It was clear Mr Lammas angled his mount out without due regard to Mr McDonald on his outside. A fall very nearly occurred as a result.
----
PENALTY:
--Accordingly, the Committee agrees to Mr Lammas’ request for deferral and impose a suspension to start after racing on 3 May and conclude after racing on 17 May (6 days). Mr Lammas told the Committee he does not ride in the South Island.
