--Mr Khairil admitted the breach of the Rule 866 (1) (c) which states every person commits a breach of this Rule who, being the rider of a horse in a race fails to ride his horse out to the end of the race if there is a reasonable chance of it running into first, second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth place.
--Mr Khairil was supported throughout the hearing by Mr S Marr, his employer.
Mr Ching, for the Stipendiary Stewards, said that Mr Khairil stopped riding his horse SWEET ABOUT ME two strides from the winning post. In his opinion Mr Khairil was relaxed, and may have misjudged the finishing line. Mr Ching used several video clips of the alleged incident, highlighting Mr Khairil’s riding, stating that he had pushed his horse up until the last two strides. Mr Ching stated the horses were tiring, after racing in very heavy ground (11.5 pentrometer reading) however Mr Khairil did not give his horse a reasonable chance of finishing third.
Mr Khairil and Mr Marr agreed with Mr Ching’s summation of the incident.
The charge was found proven and submissions on penalty were requested.
Stipendiary Steward Mr Davidson stated that Mr Khairil had no previous breaches under this Rule in the past twelve months, and that a penalty by way of suspension would be appropriate.
Stipendiary Steward Mr Ching stated that Mr Khairil had made him aware on weighing in after the race that he had been suffering severe stomach cramps. This statement was also supported by Assistant Stipendiary Steward Mr M Lawson, who had been made aware earlier in the race day that Mr Khairil was not well. Mr Khairil had not been checked by a doctor.
--In concluding Mr Davidson said some concession may be considered when fixing penalty due to Mr Khairil’s early admittance of the breach and the additional information surrounding his illness.
--Mr Khairil stated he had had stomach cramps over the final 100 metres of the race, and as a result was unable to ride his horse out fully.
--Mr Marr asked the Committee if this breach could be dealt with by way of a fine. Mr Marr outlined Mr Khairil’s up and coming riding engagements which included the Canterbury Jockey Club (19 September), Te Aroha (23 September), Otaki (24 September) and Banks Peninsula (25 September).
--Mr Ching verified that Mr Khairil had confirmed riding commitments at the two North Island meetings – Te Aroha and Otaki.
--DECISION ON PENALTY
Mr Khairil was suspended to the conclusion of racing on Friday 25 September 2009 (3 days). In fixing penalty, consideration was given to Mr Khairil’s recent riding record and his early guilty plea. Mr Khairil’s ill health may have contributed to the incident, however in the Committee’s opinion he has failed to fulfill his professional obligations to ride his horse out.
The owners of the horse have been denied the third placed stake money of $600.00 by Mr Khairil’s inaction, and investors on the horse have also lost out.
--It was also noted for the official record that Mr Khairil’s suspension would not commence until the completion of racing on Saturday 19 September (Canterbury Jockey Club) as the official raceday fields had been declared prior to Mr Khairil’s breach of the Rule.
