Meet Title:
Ashburton RC - 9 March 2017

Race Date:
2017/03/09
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
As Mr Jogoo had admitted the breach, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
We therefore determined that Mr Jogoo’s licence to ride be suspended from the conclusion of racing on the 12th March 2017 up to and including the 20th March 2017. This suspension encompasses the days racing at Riccarton on 16th March 2017 and Dunedin on 20th March 2017.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 1 the Fasttrack Insurance Rating 75, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Williamson, against Apprentice Jockey Mr G Jogoo, the rider of TANTELLA, alleging careless riding near the 1400m, in that he permitted his mount to shift inwards causing TRAVEL WISE (L Callaway) to check and PARANA (A Collett) to steady.
Rule 638(1)(d) reads as follows:
“(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless”
Mr Jogoo had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted and he confirmed this at the hearing. Mr Jogoo also agreed that he understood the charge and the Rule it was brought under.
Mr Jogoo was assisted at the hearing by Apprentice Jockey Mentor Mr W Harnett.
Mr McLaughlin, gave evidence and used video coverage to show that approaching the 1400m Mr Jogoo, who was racing three wide in mid -field and moving forward, allowed his mount to shift inwards across TRAVEL WISE (L Callaway) when not his length and another length clear.
Mr McLaughlin estimated that TANTELLA (Mr Jogoo) was only ¾ of a length clear.
This manoeuvre resulting in a check to Mr Callaway’s mount and to a lesser degree PARANA (Miss Collett) which had to be steadied.
Mr Williamson stated that TRAVEL WISE was a difficult horse to ride and did over race when he was taken a hold of, which was more the reason for Mr Jogoo to give him his length and another length before crossing his running line.
Mr Jogoo entered no submissions.
Mr Harnett stated that he thought Mr Callaway was partly at fault for riding a difficult mount too aggressively. He added that Mr Callaway may not have been aware that Miss Collett was to his inside because of TRAVEL WISE racing so fiercely.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson stated that Mr Jogoo had no breaches of this rule in the past 12 months and being a popular apprentice, this was a very good record. He added that the Stewards felt that the breach was at the lower end of the scale.
Mr Jogoo made no submissions but on his behalf Mr Harnett endorsed Mr Williamson's comments.
Reasons for Penalty:
In determining penalty, we have taken the JCA Penalty Guide starting point for a South Island rider which is a three-day suspension. There are no aggravating factors to consider an uplift in this case. We do find the mitigating factors of a very good record and the ready admission of the breach for which we can afford a discount of one day. We consider that a 2-day suspension is an appropriate penalty in this case.
When deferment was discussed it was discovered that riders were already declared for the Wyndham meeting on the 12th of March 2017 and the suspension would start immediately after that as Mr Jogoo advised that he had confirmed rides at that meeting.
