Meet Title:
Canterbury JC - 22 September 2018
Meet Chair:
SChing
Meet Committee Member 1:
GClapp
Race Date:
2018/09/22
Race Number:
R11
Decision:
As Mr Bakar had admitted the breach, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Bakar’s Class B Jockeys licence is suspended from the conclusion of racing on 5 October up to and including 13 October 2018.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 11, the Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Rating 72, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Davidson, against Class B Rider, Mr N Bakar alleging careless riding in that he permitted his mount, WIDE AWAKE, to shift inwards near the 1000m, when not clear of DIRECTOR, ridden by Mr J Laking.
“(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless”
Mr Bakar had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted, which he confirmed at the hearing. Mr Murray also agreed that he understood the charge and the Rule it was brought under. Mr P Richards assisted Mr Bakar at the hearing.
Mr Davidson, with the assistance of Stipendiary Steward, Mr J McLaughlin, gave evidence and used video coverage to show that nearing the 1000m, WIDE AWAKE, ridden by Mr Bakar, was racing 3 wide on the outside of DIRECTOR, ridden by Mr Laking. He showed on the films that Mr Bakar then opted to direct his mount inwards into a 2 wide position when only barely 1 length clear of Mr Laking and as a result, Mr Laking had to check.
Mr Richards stated that it was obvious Mr Bakar has shifted in when not sufficiently clear. He said it was an error of judgement on his behalf.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson stated that Mr Bakar’s record showed a previous breach, his first in a short career, today in Race 2 where he received a 7 National Day suspension for a mid-range breach. Mr Davidson stated that this breach was low-range and it was clearly inexperience which contributed to the breach. Mr Davidson submitted that a term of suspension in keeping with a low range breach be considered in this case.
Mr Richards stated that Mr Bakar’s inexperience was a factor and that he had made a misjudgement. He said that he has only ridden on about 12 occasions to date, with 6 winning rides to date, so thought it was easy.
Reasons for Penalty:
The JCA Penalty Guide for a low-range breach of this rule is a 6 National day suspension. The Committee also assessed this breach as low-range and therefore adopted the 6 National day starting point. The aggravating factor was Mr Bakar’s record which showed a breach only several races previous, which warranted an uplift in penalty, which we set at 1 day. We were however able to afford Mr Bakar a discount for his frank admission of the breach and his relative inexperience, which we set at 1 day. We therefore determined that a 6 National-day suspension was an appropriate penalty in this case.
Deferment was not discussed as this was an extension of a suspension already received at today’s meeting.
