Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2018/12/13
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
The breach is admitted and therefore the charge is proved.
Penalty:
This Committee imposes a suspension of Mr Dee's Riders Licence from the conclusion of racing on the 15th of December 2018 up to the conclusion of racing on the 23rd of December 2018. That is 6 national Riding days.
Facts:
Following the running of the FIRST GLOBAL LOGISTICS 1600 an Information was lodged by Senior Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Williamson against Class A Rider, Mr Michael Dee alleging that Mr Dee as the rider of THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT permitted his mount to shift inwards when not sufficiently clear of LIVVY LASS (Rider Miss S Spratt) which was checked approaching the 1300 metres mark.
Rule 638(1)(d) provides : A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless.
Mr Dee was present at the hearing and he acknowledged that he understood the Rule and he confirmed that he admitted the breach.
Chief Stipendiary Steward, Mr J Oatham demonstrated the incident by use of the race films and showed where approaching the 1300 metres mark THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT was back in the field and two out from the rail. At that stage LIVVY LASS was several lengths further back and on the rail but was being chased along by Miss Spratt. Mr Oatham said that there was an ever decreasing margin between Mr Dee's horse and Miss Spratt's horse as a result of Miss Spratt chasing her horse up. Mr Dee looked to his inside and believing that he was clear he began to move his horse in and he found that he was not sufficiently clear and his movement caused Miss Spratt to have to take hold of and check her horse.
Mr Dee said that when he first looked to his inside he had sufficient room and at that stage he moved in half a horse width. He said that when he looked again the margin had reduced but he did say that Miss Spratt had not established her line and he believed her actions contributed to the incident. He did say that Miss Spratt called out and he then took evasive action but it was too late.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson referred to Mr Dee's record in Victoria which showed 5 breaches for careless riding since the 10th of May 2018. The most recent of these was on the 16th of October 2018. He said that it was a poor record.
He did however say that the incident was at the low level of seriousness and that it was an error of judgement by Mr Dee. He submitted that a low level of suspension would be appropriate.
Mr Dee submitted that it was an error of judgement and that it was very low level. He submitted that Miss Spratt contributed by trying to get to a position that she was never going to be able to achieve.
The Committee advised Mr Dee that he was entitled to a 7 day deferment of his suspension and he said that he would like any suspension to start after racing on this coming Saturday 15 of December 2018.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee reviewed the race films and these showed the incident very clearly . Mr Dee looked to his inside and began moving in. At that stage he was sufficiently clear but when he was continuing the movement Miss Spratt was pushing her horse up along the rail and the margin was closing quickly to the extent that when Mr Dee continued his inwards movement he was not sufficiently clear.
The Committee suggested to Mr Dee that Miss Spratt was entitled to improve along the rail in what was her running line. He said that at the time of the interference she hadn't established her position.
We took into account the submissions of the parties and we take the view that this incident is at the low level of carelessness and for that the JCA starting point penalty is a suspension of 6 National Riding days. We explained this to Mr Dee. We give Mr Dee a one day reduction for his admission of the breach. We however impose a one day uplift for Mr Dee's poor record. The penalty will therefore be a suspension of License for 6 National Riding days.
Pursuant to Rule 1106(2) we grant Mr Dee a deferment of his suspension until after the conclusion of racing on the 15th of December 2018. We pointed out to Mr Dee that we did not include racing on the 16th of December 2018 in the penalty on the basis that Riders for those meetings would already have been declared.
