Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Hawkes Bay RI - 1 January 2018
Meet Chair:
NMoffatt
Meet Committee Member 1:
TCastles
Race Date:
2018/01/01
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As Mr Marzuki admitted the breach we found the charge proved.
Penalty:
Mr Marzuki’s license is suspended from the close of racing on Saturday January 6th up to and including racing on Saturday January 20th.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 7 (JIMMY RURAL 1400), an Information was lodged by Mr D Balcombe alleging a breach of Rule 638(1)(d) in that Apprentice H Marzuki angled his mount out on entering the home straight when not clear of PINCANTO and WANDERING EYE.
Rule 638(1) (d) provides: A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless.
Mr Marzuki confirmed to the Committee that he understood the charge and that he admitted the breach.
Mr Goodwin explained the incident using all available videos. Prior to the incident Mr Marzuki was racing in a position behind other runners with no room to improve. His horse was racing in a tractable manner. He began to urge his mount forward and angled outwards for a run when there was no room for him to do so. As a result of his actions he caused interference to the two runners on his outside. WANDERING EYES recovered to run second in the race.
Neither Mr Marzuki nor Mr Bradley had any further comment to make on the films.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Balcombe produced Mr Marzuki’s careless riding record over the last 12 months:
18/2/17 Auckland - 6 days
5/6/17 Counties - 5 days
24/9/17 Counties - 7 days
8/11/17 Waipa - 8 days
6/12/17 Counties - 8 days
He described his record as “not great” and placed the degree of carelessness above midrange. While neither runner was checked there was very heavy contact with PINCANTO and slightly lesser contact with WANDERING EYES.
The Stewards’ submission was for a period of suspension.
Mr Marzuki admitted to having a poor record and said Mr Marsh (his employer) has been trying to help him by going through all his raceday videos with him. He said he hadn’t seen Mr Harris since the last apprentice school session and Mr Harris was currently on holiday.
Mr Bradley said he had spoken to Mr Harris recently and he told him he is doing his best to help Mr Marzuki with his riding. Mr Bradley said today’s incident was quite severe.
Mr Marzuki advised of riding commitments through until Saturday 6th January.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee assessed the degree of carelessness to be in the upper mid-range. On rounding the bend for home Mr Marzuki angled out and forced a run to his outside where there simply wasn’t a run available. He erred by not displaying more patience and waiting for a run in front of him.
We adopted a starting point of 9 days suspension.
Mr Marzuki has an unenviable record and his careless riding charges are of concern, particularly with regards to the safety of other horses and riders. We did not believe there was any other option but to impose another lengthy term of suspension.
Mr Bradley advised that he had spoken to Mr Marzuki about the manner in which he pushed out today and told him it was not acceptable to do what he did. We are grateful to Mr Bradley for his mentoring and hope that other senior riders will also assist Mr Marzuki with advice on racedays.
Balancing up all factors it was our opinion that a 10 day suspension was an appropriate penalty.
