Forbury Park TC 29 June 2017 – R 7 – Chair, Prof G Hall
ID: JCA15197
Meet Title:
Forbury Park TC - 29 June 2017
Meet Chair:
GHall
Race Date:
2017/06/29
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As the breach is admitted, it is thus found to be proved.
Penalty:
There is no addition to the starting point. After credit for the admission of the breach but more particularly the respondent’s excellent record, the penalty is a fine of $350.
Facts:
Mr Tidmarsh, Stipendiary Steward, alleged that Mr Orange drove carelessly when shifting ground inwards when not clear of OCH AYE THE NOO (Mr McIlwrick) which broke.
Mr Tidmarsh demonstrated on the video that Mr Orange when endeavouring to improve forward to the lead near the 950 metres shifted ground inwards when not quite clear of OCH AYE THE NOO causing that horse to break. He said it was an error of judgment in that the respondent had not allowed Mr McIlwrick sufficient room. He noted that in the protest hearing Mr McIlwrick had said that OCH AYE THE NOO was racing keenly at the time. Nonetheless, he emphasised OCH AYE THE NOO was entitled to room.
Mr Orange admitted the breach and indicated on the information that he did not wish to attend the hearing of the matter.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Tidmarsh produced the respondent’s record, which evidenced no breach of this rule this season. Mr Orange has had 825 drives last season and 1035 this season. Mr Tidmarsh described this record as excellent when regard was had to the fact the respondent is a very busy driver. He identified an aggravating factor as being that OCH AYE THE NOO had broken and galloped for some 80 metres. Trailing runners were inconvenienced although OCH AYE THE NOO had recovered quickly.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Orange’s carelessness has caused OCH AYE THE NOO to gallop. Mr Tidmarsh is correct when he describes the incident as a misjudgment. The starting point is a fine of $500. The breach is clearly mid-range. Mr Orange’s actions resulted in the field being disrupted when OCH AYE THE NOO galloped. That horse was able to settle two back rather than trailing and was able to get to the one/one when MADISON JANE galloped out of the race.
