--Information 157 alleging a breach of the Rules of Racing, Rule 636 (1)(c) in that
Izuan Khairil (Apprentice Jockey), the rider of “Lifter” failed to ride his horse out to the finish of the race.
Informant - Mr A Coles, Stipendiary Steward
--As the result of an incident in the concluding stages or Race 1, Apprentice Jockey Izuan Khairil, the rider of “Lifter”, was charged pursuant to Rule 636 (1)(c) of the Rules of Racing. It was alleged that Mr Khairil had failed to ride his horse out to the finish of the race.
--Mr Khairil admitted the breach of the Rule, which is therefore deemed to be proved.
--THE FACTS
--The incident was demonstrated to us by Mr J McLaughlin, Stipendiary Steward. He pointed out how Mr Khairil was, in the concluding stages of the race, running in second place and was riding vigorously, using the whip. However, with approximately two strides to go, Mr Khairil stopped riding with vigour, he “stood up” in the stirrups and was beaten by a nose. Mr Coles explained that it was a “short nose”. In other words, Mr Coles said that the margin was very fine.
--Mr Khairil was accompanied by Mr Marr, Licensed Trainer.
--Mr Khairil, with the assistance of Mr Marr, said that he made an error of judgment. He realised that he was not going to win the race because of the distance that the eventual winner was away from him, and therefore, he relaxed too soon and did not notice the fast finishing “Star Catcher” on his outside.
--PENALTY SUBMISSIONS
--Mr Coles said that Mr Khairil was suspended pursuant to this Rule in September 2009 (although we believe that the correct date was probably 16 August 2009) when Mr Khairil was suspended for three days. Mr Coles said that he felt that that penalty was modest as according to his records, when charges pursuant to this Rule had been preferred before, that penalties of three weeks to one month were imposed. He, therefore, believed that a suspension of between three and four weeks should be imposed.
--In response, Mr Khairil, with Mr Marr’s assistance, said that he had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. He said that he had ridden a lot since his last suspension in September 2009, without incident. Mr Khairil finishes his apprenticeship at the end of this month, and Mr Marr said he wanted to be riding at that time.
--PENALTY DECISION
--We have given careful consideration to the penalty in this matter. Insofar as the betting public is concerned, the impact would not be that significant. Effectively, only quinella bettors would have been affected by Mr Khairil failing to finish in second place. However, the connections of the horse will receive a reduced stake as a result of Mr Khairil not continuing his ride with vigour, which would probably have meant that he would have finished in second place. That is an aggravating feature.
--We agree that a suspension ought to be imposed in this instance. We are conscious of
Mr Khairil’s comparatively good riding record, but this charge is, in itself, a reasonably serious charge. We therefore set the suspension in terms of weeks. Mr Khairil will be suspended from race riding from the conclusion of racing on Wednesday 17 February until the conclusion of racing on Wednesday 10 March, i.e. three weeks. This will mean that Mr Khairil will be unable to ride at the following South Island meetings:
Invercargill 20 February
Canterbury Jockey Club 27 February
Omakau 5 March
Cromwell 7 March
