Meet Title:
Canterbury Racing - 26 October 2013
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
SChing
Race Date:
2013/10/26
Race Number:
R8
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
After consideration of all the above facts the committee is satisfied that an appropriate penalty is one of 3 days. Accordingly Mr Moseley is suspended from after racing today, 26 October, until after the conclusion of racing on 5 November 2013 (3 days). These days are Invercargill, 1 November, Banks Peninsular, 3 November and Dunedin, 5 November.
Charge:
Following race 8, The Holloway Builder's Stakes, the informant, Mr Zarb, alleged that Mr T Moseley allowed his mount, LIBETTO, to shift inwards shortly after the start checking TIMY TYLER (R Black).
Rule 638 (1) (d) provides: a rider shall not ride a horse in a manner in which the judicial committee considers to be careless.
Facts:
Mr Zarb demonstrated the video films which showed LIBETTO (T Moseley) starting in a barrier position 2 from the outside. Mr Zarb told the committee it was laziness more than anything else on Mr Moseley's part as he allowed his mount to drift in soon after the start. He submitted that Mr Moseley was approximately 1/2 length clear of TIMY TYLER when moving in which caused Miss Black to take a hold and check her mount. Mr Zarb conceded there was some outward movement from the horse on the inside of Mr Moseley.
Mr Moseley, while admitting the breach, said he did consider defending the charge. He said his mount was racing erratically in the wind and it took him 300 metres to settle her down. He stated he did accept some responsibility for the check to Miss Black but his inward movement was minimal. He added the horse on his inside had contributed to the incident by moving out.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Zarb said Mr Moseley had an outstanding record which was clear of infringements in the last 12 months. He submitted today's carelessness by Mr Moseley was at the very low end as was the interference received by Miss Black. He said Mr Moseley had admitted the breach but reminded the committee this was a listed race.
Mr Moseley stated he did not know he had caused any interference and after seeing the films believed his inward movement was minimal. He said the inside horse had come out at the same time contributing to the incident. He said he only rode in the South Island and had no commitments in the next 7 days.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions. We have adopted 5 riding days as a starting point in considering the term of the suspension. We recognise that South Island riders get a concession in penalty because of their limited opportunities and this is reflected in our decision. Mitigating factors include Mr Moseley's outstanding record, his admission of the breach and the outward movement of the inside horse contributing to the incident. The committee finds the breach to be at the low end of carelessness as is the degree of interference caused by Mr Moseley. However we cannot ignore the fact this occurred in a listed race of $70,000.
