--| -- DECISION AND REASON --Information 32017 alleged a beach of Rule 876(1) in that CAPE PRINCE or its rider placed first by the Judge interfered with the chances of HADDLE McDADDLE placed second, the interference occurring prior to the final straight. ----Mr T McKee, trainer of CAPE PRINCE, was present and Mr J Collett represented the connections of HADDLE McDADDLE. ----The official margin between first and second was a half-length at the finish. ----Apprentice rider, Chad Ormsby, gave evidence confirming that he had been racing adjacent to the rail approaching the turn into the straight when he was checked by Mrs Tiley on CAPE PRINCE losing about two lengths as a result. At the time she was a quarter to a half-length ahead and outside him and he had to check as she rolled on to him and clipped heels. ----Stipendiary Steward J Oatham demonstrated the incident on the videos and pointed out that HADDLE McDADDLE had suffered interference losing considerable ground as a result. Each of the videos available showed CAPE PRINCE was not the required distance ahead when the interference, which was quite clear, he said, occurred. He suggested the videos showed the interference cost up to two lengths and HADDLE McDADDLE had then ran on strongly in the straight to be a half length away at the finish. ----Mr McKee asked Mr Ormsby if he had called and he said that he had. ----Mrs Tiley asked Mr Ormsby if she had moved off her line and taken his and he said, "Yes". Mrs Tiley then stated that she believed the videos were inconclusive and Mr Ormsby had simply poked up on the inside and caused the check himself. She insisted that she had maintained the same line at all times and therefore could not be blamed for the alleged interference. She believed although the film was inconclusive regarding her alleged movement it did support her belief that she did not move in to cause interference. ----Mr Collett pointed out that as a result of the interference HADDLE McDADDLE lost its position on the rails and its momentum and was forced to come out and go around CAPE PRINCE when mounting its run in the straight. ----Mr Coles' summing up confirmed that the incident occurred 550 metres from the finish. It had clearly cost HADDLE McDADDLE two lengths when it had been up inside CAPE PRINCE for at least 60 metres before being checked out. It was tight but Mr Ormsby had room to be there and the Committee had to decide whether Mrs Tiley rolled in or the other horse rolled out. ----After considering the evidence and viewing the videos the Committee finds that interference has occurred as alleged costing HADDLE McDADDLE two lengths with 550 metres to run. The Committee is satisfied on the oral evidence of Mr Ormsby, despite the inconclusive video, that interference was as a result of movement in by CAPE PRINCE and prefers Mr Ormsby's evidence which was clear and compelling, and also accepts Mr Collett's statement. It does not accept Mrs Tiley's contention that she did not move in. Given the stage of the race with the horses gaining momentum as they turned for home, the margin of half a length at the finish and that HADDLE McDADDLE finished on strongly and significantly was still making up ground on CAPE PRINCE at the finish, the Committee is satisfied that HADDLE McDADDLE?S chances were affected and accordingly exercises its discretion and upholds the protest. ----The amended placings are: ----1st HADDLE McDADDLE --2ND CAPE PRINCE --3RD WINE OH |
