ID: JCA11054

Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 1 January 2013
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 1:
RSeabrook
Race Date:
2013/01/01
Race Number:
R9
Decision:
As Mr Jago admitted the breach we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, we impose a suspension on Mr Jago which will commence after racing on 3rd January and conclude after racing on 10th January 2013 (4 days).
Charge:
Following race 9, an information was filed pursuant to Rule 638(1)(d). The informant, Mr Neal alleged that Mr Jago permitted his mount, STORMING THE TOWER to shift inwards when not sufficiently clear forcing SAVVY DANCER inwards crowding TEMPLETEN which was checked near the 1800 metres.
Facts:
Mr Oatham demonstrated the incident by using all the available films. He pointed out to the committee that Mr Jago permitted his mount to shift in from a 3 wide position to a 2 wide position when not the required distance clear. He said the jockeys were riding quite tight when Mr Jago allowed his mount to shift in which resulted in 2 runners being checked.
Mr Jago informed the committee that the incident occurred at the point of a turn when his horse rolled in slightly.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Neal produced Mr Jago record which showed 1 previous breach under this rule in the last 12 months, this occurred on 2nd January 2012. He submitted the mitigating factors were his excellent record and his admission of the breach. The aggravating factors were the interference occurred in a Group 2 race worth $100,000, and the level of carelessness was assessed as mid range. He said although the movement was minor TEMPLETEN received a relatively significant check. He submitted a suspension was the appropriate penalty and would leave it up to the committee to determine the number of days.
Mr Jago submitted that he no commitments and requested his proposed suspension start immediately. Mr Jago confirmed he rode only in the North Island.
In response to a question from the committee, Mr Neal confirmed that declaration of riders had closed for Whangarei on the 3rd January, therefore Mr Jago's proposed suspension will commence at the completion of that race meeting. Mr Jago acknowledged that he understood the situation surrounding penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented. We have adopted 5 riding days as the starting point in considering the term of suspension for this careless riding charge. The mitigating factors are Mr Jago's admission of the breach, excellent riding record and the level of carelessness which we assess as low range. However, this has to be balanced against the aggravating fact the status of the race was a Group 2 worth $100,000. Taking into account all the above facts and placing emphasis on the mitigating factors we believe an appropriate penalty is 4 North Island days.
