Meet Title:
Egmont RC - 27 August 2015
Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
NMcCutcheon
Race Date:
2015/08/27
Race Number:
Race 6
Decision:
Accordingly the protest was dismissed and placings confirmed as:
1st (3) CHOP SUEY
2nd (8) PERFECT SUGGESTION
3rd (9) NEWSTEAD
4th (11) STUMBLING IN
5th (6) ALY'S BELT
6th (10) MORSE CODE
The committee authorised the payment of dividends and stakes in accordance with its decision.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6 (STRATFORD TRAINERS 1200m) Information A2747 was filed with the judicial committee. It instigated a protest under the provision of Rule 642(1) alleging that CHOP SUEY placed first by the judge interfered with the chances of PERFECT SUGGESTION placed second by the judge. It alleged interference near the 450m.
The provisional placings were:
1st (3) CHOP SUEY
2nd (8) PERFECT SUGGESTION
3rd (9) NEWSTEAD
4th (11) STUMBLING IN
5th (6) ALY'S BELT
6th (10) MORSE CODE
The margin between first and second was 3/4 length.
Submissions for Decision:
Stipendiary Steward Mr Goodwin identified the runners concerned on the available side-on and back-straight films as they approached the home turn.
Mr Auret submitted that it was clear that MORSE CODE (located to the inside of PERFECT SUGGESTION) had changed ground fractionally, but believed Mr Teeluck's horse to have moved inwards and had squeezed his horse for a prolonged distance. He used the film to point out that as they straightened for home, it was clear that CHOP SUEY had taken his horse's line, and that Mr Singh was required to stop riding. He believed this had cost his horse the race as his runner had regained his run and was gathering momentum at the line.
Mr Singh concurred with Mr Auret's perspective and submitted that he was checked approximately two to three times. He did not believe that MORSE CODE, located to his inside had moved outwards, but rather that CHOP SUEY had moved inwards.
Mr Teeluck used the films to confirm that he was approximately two lengths off Mr Singh's horse. He also acknowledged that while CHOP SUEY was racing a little greenly, and contact was made, the outwards movement from MORSE CODE was the major contributor to the interference. Mr Teeluck believed that regardless of the interference, CHOP SUEY was running away from Mr Singh's horse at the line.
Mr Gray believed that the major interference came from the outwards movement from MORSE CODE, which resulted in a squeeze to PERFECT SUGGESTION. With the interference occurring soon after the home turn he did not believe that CHOP SUEY would have been beaten as that horse was running away at the finish.
Mr Goodwin was invited to make comment on the incident, but not the merits of the protest. In doing so, he submitted that MORSE CODE had shifted outwards over some considerable distance and more than possibly had made contact with PERFECT SUGGESTION, causing tightening to that runner. He believed that the pressure onto PERFECT SUGGESTION had resulted in contact to CHOP SUEY's hind quarters which had given the visual impression that it had turned inwards. He also submitted that the winner was holding PERFECT SUGGESTION by at least 3/4 length at the line.
Reasons for Decision:
It was clear that shortly after turning for home interference had occurred. This was supported by the available films. It was also clear that MORSE CODE had moved outwards onto PERFECT SUGGESTION upon straightening. It was apparent that the movement from MORSE CODE contributed equally, if not more, than any interference that may have been attributed to CHOP SUEY. When reviewing the run to the line, the winner was holding its own and the committee was not satisfied that had the interference not occurred, PERFECT SUGGESTION would have beaten CHOP SUEY.
