Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2020/01/01
Race Number:
R3
Decision:
As Mrs Satherley admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
The Committee granted Mrs Satherley a deferment to her suspension pursuant to Rule 1106(2).
Accordingly, Mrs Satherleys licence to ride in races is suspended for a period of 13 days commencing after racing on 4 January and concluding after racing on 22 January 2020.
In affixing penalty dates we did not include 5 January 2020 as rider declarations for the Greymouth meeting on that date had closed. Also, we did not include the meeting at New Plymouth as this meeting is for Apprentice Riders only.
Facts:
This charge arises from the running of race 3 the Barneswood Farm Eclipse Stakes (Group 2). Chief Stipendiary Steward, Mr Oatham filed an Information pursuant to Rule 638(1)(d) alleging that Mrs Satherley permitted her mount AMOR FATI to shift in near the 1100 metres when insufficiently clear of TARGHEE and NOT AN OPTION which were dictated inwards crowding TIVAAN WARRIOR and DE LA TERRE which was severely checked. PREAKNESS which was following was also checked.
Mrs Satherley acknowledged she understood the Rule and confirmed her admission of the breach.
Rule 638(1) (d) provides: A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless.
Using all available video footage Senior Stipendiary Steward, Mr Williamson demonstrated the incident that gave rise to this charge and identified all horses and riders concerned. He told the Committee that nearing the 1100 metre mark AMOR FATI was angling across the field after jumping from barrier 7 at the 1200 metre start. He said that at this point AMOR FATI was only a ½ length clear of TARGHEE who was racing on its inner. In all there were four horses racing inside of AMOR FATI namely; TARGHEE, a neck to ½ a length back was NOT AN OPTION; and that same margin back to TIVAAN WARRIOR and DE LA TERRE. He said that Mrs Satherley continued the inward shift and applied pressure to the horses on her inside, with the worst affected horses being TIVAAN WARRIOR and DE LA TERRE.
Mr Williamson added that DE LA TERRE was lucky to stay on its feet and also the rider of PREAKNESS (V Colgan) had to take evasive action.
In response Mrs Satherley stated that the incident looked pretty bad on the films and there is little further she could add. She did however note that her mount was an awkward ride and was racing in blinkers for the first time. She also said that the rider of TIVAAN WARRIOR was pushing up on the inside which made the incident look worse.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham produced Mrs Satherley's riding record which indicated she has an excellent record in relation to the careless riding Rule, having ridden in 321 races in the past 12 months without a breach.
Mr Oatham said Stewards assessed the level of carelessness towards the high range and said that in assessing penalty Mrs Satherley ought to be given credit for her admission of the breach and excellent record. He added that a penalty uplift should be applied in recognition of the fact the breach occurred in a Group 2 race. He submitted a suspension commensurate with a high range breach would be appropriate.
In response Mrs Satherley advised she has confirmed commitments up until 4 January 2020 and any proposed suspension could commence immediately after the conclusion of racing on that date.
In terms of any proposed penalty Mrs Satherley offered no submissions.
Reasons for Penalty:
After considering the submissions the Committee reviewed the race film and determined Mrs Satherley’s carelessness to be high range and adopted a 10 day starting point. This is in conformity with the Penalty Guide for Judicial Committees which recommends a 10 national day starting point for high end carelessness.
On reviewing the available films the Committee noted that after leaving the barrier from an outside stall Mrs Satherley angled her mount across the face of the field and at no point was she ever her own length and one other length clear of horses on her inside. Although the shift was not abrupt the consequential effect on the horses to her inside was severe with 5 horses having their chances affected to varying degrees, due to being tightened. TIVAAN WARRIOR and DE LA TERRE were the worst affected, with PREAKNESS also being hampered when avoiding the heels of those runners. DE LA TERRE appeared to hit the running rail and lost several lengths. NOT AN OPTION and TARGHEE were affected to lesser degrees.
Aggravating factors are that this breach occurred in a Group 2 race with stakemoney of $100,000, and there were consequences to 5 runners. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 920(2) the Committee applied 5-day penalty uplift.
The mitigating factors we considered included Mrs Satherley’s admission of the breach and her excellent riding record under this rule. For those combined factors we afforded her a 2 day reduction from the 10-day starting point.
After taking into account all the above factors the Committee considered that an appropriate suspension was 13 days.
