Race Date:
2021/05/08
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
As Mr Jogoo had admitted that breach the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, Mr Jogoo’s Class A Jockey Licence is suspended from the conclusion of racing today 8 May up to and including 27 May 2021. Mr Jogoo is also fined the sum of $300.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 4, the Angus Meats Great Autumn Handicap, an Information was filed by Chief Stipendiary Steward, Mr J Oatham, against Class A Rider, Mr G Jogoo, in that he allowed his mount to shift in when not clear of POINT SCORE, ridden by Mr C Johnson, who was severely checked passing the 100m.
Rule 638(1)(d) reads as follows:
(1) A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless”
Mr Jogoo had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted, which he confirmed at the hearing. He also agreed that he understood the charge and the provisions of the Rule it was brought under.
Mr Oatham, with the assistance of Stipendiary Steward, Mr Davidson, gave evidence and used video coverage to show that after turning for home and passing the 350m, LETSBRINGITON, ridden by Mr Jogoo, was racing 4 off the rail with POINT SCORE, ridden by Mr C Johnson and VOLIK, ridden by Miss K Williams positioned inside Mr Jogoo. Mr Davidson pointed out LETSBRINGITON laying in when under a ride from Mr Jogoo and shifting in approaching the 100m. He demonstrated on the films that LETSBRINGITON began a shift inward when under a ride, forcing POINT SCORE inwards into the line of VOLVIK, who eventually had to check out of its rightful line. He showed on the replay that Mr Jogoo continued on in an inward movement eventually taking the rightful line of Mr Johnson who had to check and as a result POINT SCORE touched the rail and reacted, losing all chance of finishing in a stake bearing position. Mr Davidson stated that Mr Jogoo did take corrective action, but this was too late to prevent the interference to Mr Johnson. Mr Davidson stated added that VOLVIK’s chances of finishing in a stake bearing position were also affected.
Mr Jogoo stated that he did not realise that there was a horse inside Mr Johnson but conceded that he was not clear in the incident.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham stated that Mr Jogoo’s record showed one breach of this Rule in the previous 12 months being at Ashburton on 18 September where he received a 6 National day suspension for a mid to high breach. He stated that this breach was in the high range with the aggravating factors being the consequences to both Mr Johnson’s and Miss Williams' respective mounts where their chances of finishing in a stake bearing position were affected. Mr Oatham stated that Mr Jogoo finished up running into second place with a stake of $5,687. Mr Oatham stated that a penalty in relation to the level of the breach and aggravating factors should be taken into consideration when assessing penalty.
Mr Jogoo elected to make no submissions on penalty apart from stating that he did not require a deferment and requesting that any suspension begin as soon as possible.
Reasons for Penalty:
This Committee agreed with the Stewards that this breach was at a high level. The JCA Penalty Guide provides a 9-day starting point for high-range breach of this Rule and accordingly adopted the 9 National day starting point. Aggravating factors are the consequences of Mr Jogoo’s carelessness, as noted above, which warranted an uplift in penalty. This uplift we set at 3 days. Mitigating factors are Mr Jogoo’s good record and his frank admission of the breach which warranted a combined discount that we set at 1 day. We therefore determined that an 11 National day suspension was appropriate. In addition to the suspension, Mr Jogoo is fined the sum of $300.
