Following Race 1 an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 871 (1) (d). The Informant Mr J Oatham alleged that Mrs T Thornton angled her mount outwards near the 250 metres when insufficiently clear of ‘Young Zeus”’ (M Sweeney).
--Mrs Thornton pleaded guilty.
--Mr Coles demonstrated the video films which clearly showed Mrs Thornton riding ‘Gembra’, which was racing on the fence near the 250 metres, angle her mount out into a gap but in doing so take the line of ‘Young Zeus’ (M Sweeney) who had to check his mount. Mr Coles said Mrs Thornton was only a bare length clear of Mr Sweeney and not the required distance clear. He considered it was an error of judgement on Mrs Thornton’s part.
--Mrs Thornton accepted Mr Coles’ interpretation of the incident.
--PENALTY SUBMISSIONS
--Mr J Oatham said Mrs Thornton had an excellent record with no charges in the last 12 months. He considered the interference was midrange but believed a suspension was warranted at the lower end.
--PENALTY
--The Committee considered all submissions and before imposing a penalty took into account the following:
--Mrs Thornton’s outstanding record
Her guilty plea
Her level of carelessness which we believe is at the lower end.
Accordingly we impose a suspension to start after racing today 28/3/09 and conclude after racing on 4/4/09 (4 days).
