Race Date:
2016/02/13
Race Number:
R3
Decision:
As Miss Wynne had admitted this breach of the Rules it was found to be proved.
Penalty:
Miss Wynne’s application for a 7-day deferment was granted with her Class B Apprentice Jockeys licence being suspended from the conclusion of racing on 20 February up to and including 2 March 2016. This suspension encompasses the meetings at Invercargill (Feature Meeting) on 21 February, Wairoa on 25 February, Omakau on 26 February, Otaki on 27 February, Cromwell 28 February and Hastings on 2 March 2016.
Miss Wynne was advised by the Committee that with her current poor record, any further breaches of this rule in the near future, could result in a very lengthy suspension.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 3, the Punters Challenge on April 16 Enter Now Two & Three Year Old, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Davidson, against Class B Licensed Apprentice Jockey, Miss S Wynne, the rider of MOREIRA, who permitted her mount to shift outwards near the 100m causing TICKETS ON HER, ridden by Mr G Jogoo, to check and lose momentum.
“(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless”
Miss Wynne had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted and she confirmed this at the hearing. Miss Wynne also agreed that she understood the charge and the Rule it was brought under. Miss Wynne was assisted at the hearing by NZTR Apprentice Mentor, Mr W Harnett.
Mr Davidson gave evidence and used video coverage with the assistance of Stipendiary Steward, Mr J McLaughlin, to show that near the 100m, MOREIRA, ridden by Miss Wynne, was racing in a two wide position with TICKETS ON HER, ridden by Mr G Jogoo, in a four wide position on Miss Wynne’s outside. He pointed out Miss Wynne, who shifted outwards when looking to improve and in doing so shifted out into the racing line of TICKETS ON HER when only ¾ length to a length clear. He said TICKETS ON HER had to be checked and lost momentum in this incident and as a result may have cost TICKETS ON HER 4th placing as the margin between 4th and 5th was a head. Mr McLaughlin stated that there was sufficient room for Miss Wynne to improve out but that her mount had continued on out into the line of TICKETS ON HER with Miss Wynne continuing to ride her horse out with the whip.
Miss Wynne stated that her mount, MOREIRA, travelled well with cover throughout the race, and when she angled the horse out to gain clear running the horse, “got a little bit lost’ and kept on shifting out. She said she straightened her horse as soon as she realised she was shifting ground but agreed that she was too late in reacting. She also stated that MOREIRA was having only its 5th start and had its previous starts on the tight turning West Coast tracks.
Mr Harnett stated that MOREIRA had “over extenuated” the manoeuvre and continued on shifting out. He also stated that the horse was “a big raw horse’ and green, which did not help the situation. He said that Miss Wynne has taken corrective action but which was too late.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson stated that the Stewards assessed the breach as mid-range and the consequences of Miss Wynne’s carelessness as also mid-level. He said that Miss Wynne’s record over the previous 12 months showed 5 breaches of this rule. The details of these breaches were a 3-day suspension on 17 May at Riverton, 3 days and a $400 fine at Oamaru on 19 July, 4 days at Dunedin on 22 October, 4 days at Cromwell on 29 November, 5 days at Westland on 13 January 2016. Mr Davidson submitted that a suspension of a minimum 5 days be considered as penalty in this case. He also stated that Miss Wynne rode regularly in the Central Districts and had no objection to any relevant racing dates in the Central District be taken into consideration.
Miss Wynne confirmed that she rode regularly in the Central Districts and submitted that this be taken into account when assessing penalty. She appreciated that her record was not good and asked for leniency in penalty.
Deferment of penalty was discussed with Miss Wynne advising she had engagements at Christchurch on Friday 19 February and New Plymouth on Saturday 16 January. Miss Wynne sought a deferment of 7 days.
Reasons for Penalty:
In determining penalty, the Committee took into consideration all aggravating and mitigating factors. A major aggravating factor is Miss Wynne’s record which shows 5 breaches of this rule since May 2015, a period of 10 months. Another aggravating factor is the level of carelessness and consequences to which we agree with Mr Davidson, as being mid-level. Although Miss Wynne is a regular rider in the Central Districts, she is predominantly a South Island rider and as such have taken the JCA Penalty Guide starting point of a South Island rider of 3 days. The Committee determined that the aggravating factors in this case commanded an uplift on the starting point which we set at 4 days. However, we are able to give Miss Wynn a discount of 1 day for her frank and forthright admission of the breach. We therefore determined that a 6-day suspension was an appropriate penalty in this case.
