Decision:

Following Race 3 an information was filed by Mr A Coles, under Rule 871(1)(d).   He alleged that RUM ā€˜n’ RICE (S Patchimuthu) shifted in sharply under pressure resulting in a check to SO UNIQUE (A Peard) and resultant tightening to LADY OF PETERSBURG (M Sweeney).  



Following Race 3 an information was filed by Mr A Coles, under Rule 871(1)(d).   He alleged that RUM ā€˜n’ RICE (S Patchimuthu) shifted in sharply under pressure resulting in a check to SO UNIQUE (A Peard) and resultant tightening to LADY OF PETERSBURG (M Sweeney).   This occurred near the 400 metre mark.

--

Mr Patchimuthu pleaded guilty and was represented by Mr A Peard.

--

Mr Williamson demonstrated the video film and showed at the 400 metre mark Mr Patchimuthu riding RUM ā€˜n’ RICE allow his mount to move in sharply when using the whip.   This inward movement caused quite a sharp check to SO UNIQUE on his inside which in turn tightened LADY OF PETERSBURG.   Mr Williamson said Mr Patchimuthu continued riding with the whip, which the Stewards deemed careless.

--

Mr Coles said this was Mr Patchimuthu’s first charge but there was significant movement from him and he continued riding forward hitting his mount a second time.    He suggested a suspension of 4-5 days would be appropriate.

--

Mr Peard asked the committee to consider Mr Patchimuthu’s inexperience and that it was the horse’s first start.

--

Penalty:

--

The committee considered all submissions and before imposing a penalty took into account the following –

--

1.            Mr Patchimuthu’s first charge.

--

2.            His inexperience

--

3.            The horse’s greenness.

--

4.            The severity of the check to SO UNIQUE.

--

Accordingly, we impose a suspension to start after racing on the 26th of March 2008 and conclude after racing on the 3rd of April 2008 – 4 days.
