RACEDAY JUDICIAL COMMITTEE DECISION
--Informant: N G McIntyre
--Defendant: N/A
--Information No: 13985 (instigating a protest)
--Meeting: New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club
--Date: 9 April 2010
--Venue: Addington Raceway
--Race: 9
--Rule No: 869 (8) (a) & (b)
--Judicial Committee: R G McKenzie, Chairman – J M Phelan, Committee Member
----
DECISION AND REASONS:
--Following the running of Race 7, Garry Thompson/Fred Shaw NZ Trotting Championship, Information No. 13985 instigating a protest was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr N G McIntyre, by SPRINGBANK RICHARD (N P Williamson), placed 12th by the judge, against I CAN DOOSIT (M Purdon), placed 3rd by the judge, on the grounds of interference in that “I CAN DOOSIT struck the wheel of SPRINGBANK RICHARD with approximately 400 metres to run”.
----
Mr Purdon was present at the hearing of the information. He indicated that he was representing the connections of I CAN DOOSIT at the protest hearing.
----
Rule 869 provides as follows:
--(8) The Judicial Committee may in addition to any other penalty which may be imposed pursuant to Rule 1003 thereof place any horse which:
--(a) may have gained an advantage by any conduct or interference
--prohibited by any preceding provision of this Rule and/or
--(b) may have interfered with, or whose horseman may have interfered
--with,the progress or chance of any other horse or horses-
--immediately after any horse from which it may have gained an advantage or
--whose chances or progress may have been affected thereby.
----
Mr McIntyre said that Stipendiary Steward, Mr N M Ydgren, had been on duty at the stables gate following the running of Race 9. He questioned Mr Williamson regarding the performance of SPRINGBANK RICHARD in the Race. Mr Williamson informed Mr Ydgren that his sulky wheel had been struck by I CAN DOOSIT rounding the final bend.
----
Mr Williamson confirmed that to the hearing. He said that he had been travelling 4-wide and had elected to drop back in behind LLEYTON H in the 3-wide line. He then went to come out again and go 4-wide when his wheel was struck by I CAN DOOSIT. Mr Williamson said that the tyre (the right-hand side tyre) had not gone fully flat until well into the home straight, at approximately the 200 metres, he said.
----
Mr Williamson said that, when he pulled the horse out to improve, it was “just battling”. I CAN DOOSIT had gone straight past him. He did not believe he was going to finish in the first five placings at that stage.
----
Mr McIntyre informed the Committee that SPRINGBANK RICHARD had finished in 12th placing, 14.5 lengths from the winner.
----
Mr Purdon said that he was trailing Mr Williamson and was intending to progress forward when Mr Williamson came back out from the 3-wide line. He admitted that his horse “clipped” the wheel of SPRINGBANK RICHARD at that point. Mr Williamson agreed that Mr Purdon was in the 4-wide line at that point.
----
It was acknowledged by all parties that I CAN DOOSIT had struck the wheel of SPRINGBANK RICHARD with approximately 400 metres to run and, as a consequence, had punctured the tyre of the right wheel of that runner’s sulky. Mr Williamson told the Committee that the tyre did not become completely flat for approximately another 200 metres. It is difficult to gauge the extent to which SPRINGBANK RICHARD’s progress was affected by the flattened tyre. However, Mr Williamson was quite unequivocal in stating that, in any event, he did not believe that his horse’s chances of finishing in a dividend or stakes bearing placing were affected. In the Committee’s view, this was borne out by the video replays that the Committee viewed.
----
Whilst the striking of the wheel by I CAN DOOSIT and the consequent puncturing of the tyre of SPRINGBANK RICHARD can amount to interference, the Committee was satisfied that any interference did not affect the progress or chance of the latter.
----
The protest was dismissed and the judge’s placings for the Race stand.
