2008/04/12
Race Number:
Race 5
Decision: --

--
DECISION AND REASONS:
--Information 6101 alleging a breach of the Rules of Racing, Rule 871(1)(d) in that Mr OP Bosson, Licensed Jockey, being the rider of LADY SAKURA allowed his mount to shift inward near the 100 metres causing WAITUI BAY to check.
--The Facts:
--As a result of an incident in Race 5 at the Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting on Saturday 12th April 2008, Mr Bosson was charged with careless riding pursuant to Rule 871(1)(d).
--Mr Bosson pleaded guilty to the charge, which is therefore deemed to be proved.
--The information alleged that Mr Bosson, being the rider of LADY SAKURA allowed his mount to shift inward near the 100 metres, causing WAITUI BAY to check.
--The Committee reviewed the incident on the head-on, side-on and rear view cameras.
--Mr Bosson allowed his mount to move at least two and a half to three horse widths inwards, and as a consequence took the line of WAITUI BAY and caused a check to that horse. Mr Bosson did not comment at length on the incident except to say that the winner CLASSIC TYCOON did move slightly, contributing to a degree, to the incident.
--Penalty Decision:
--With regard to penalty, Mr Oatham took the view that Mr Bosson did not make any attempt to correct his mount from making the inwards movement. He did acknowledge the mitigating feature of the movement of CLASSIC TYCOON.
--Mr Oatham called for a suspension of a minimum of four days. He said that the chances of WAITUI BAY finishing in a better position could well have been affected.
--In response, Mr Bosson submitted that he would be happy with three days suspension and a fine.
--Having considered the evidence, and the submissions of Mr Oatham and Mr Bosson, we have reached the conclusion that a suspension is the only way in which this matter can be dealt with.
--In terms of degree, the carelessness was mid-range, but the aggravating feature was the real possibility that the chances of WAITUI BAY finishing in a better position were affected.
--Our starting point for penalty is a suspension of six days. However, we give Mr Bosson credit for his guilty plea, and his good record as a national and international jockey. He has not been charged pursuant to this Rule for nearly one year, and I am sure that he has had a lot of rides in that time.
--Decision:
--We therefore elect to impose a suspension of four days, which will come into effect as from the close of racing today, 12th April 2008. That period of suspension will encompass meetings on 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th April 2008, those meetings being at Te Aroha, Wairio, Counties and either Tauranga, Canterbury or Hawkes Bay, whichever meeting Mr Bosson would otherwise have ridden at.
--Finally we record that Mr Bosson elected to have the suspension commence at the conclusion of racing today.
--KG Hales
--Chairman
