Following Race 9 an Information was filed pursuant to rule 871 (1) (D). The Informant, Mr J Oatham, alleged that Mr L Innes, rider of CULMINATE, permitted his mount to shift inwards inside the final 200 metres when not sufficiently clear of ‘FRITZY BOY’ who was checked.
--Mr Innes admitted the breach.
--Mr N Goodwin demonstrated the film which showed that, soon after entering the home straight, Mr Innes, riding CULMINATE vigorously, move in and take the line of FRITZY BOY when insufficiently clear of that runner. This caused Mr Walker on FRITZY BOY to steady and take hold of his mount. Mr Goodwin said that ‘SARRERA (C Grylls) did move out slightly but this did not contribute to the check to FRITZY BOY.
--Mr Innes in his statement said that initially he was taken out slightly but admitted he did then move in which was an error of judgement on his part. He said he thought he was 1 ½ lengths clear but he realized subsequently he wasn’t. He said he shaved Mr Walker who he said was stopping at the time.
--PENALTY SUBMISSIONS
--Mr Oatham said Mr Innes had incurred 5 charges in the last 12 months. He said this constituted a good record. He submitted the interference was mid range as Mr Innes had moved in several horse widths over a considerable distance. However he believed Mr Innes’ level of carelessness was at the low end. He therefore suggested a fine of $1000 - $1500 with a suspension to reflect the low end of carelessness demonstrated which, in his opinion, should be close to 2 weeks.
--Mr Innes said he only had commitments until tomorrow 20 September 09.
--PENALTY
--The Committee carefully considered all submissions and evidence presented before them.
--In any charge in a Group 1 race the implications of Rule 1122 must be addressed. In this case they are the consequences and status of the race. Mitigating factors for Mr Innes are his guilty plea, his good record and his level of carelessness which the Committee considers low. The consequences were also relatively minor as FRITZY BOY appeared beaten when receiving the interference.
The aggravating factors are that this was a Group 1 race and Mr Innes continued riding forward for a considerable distance when taking the line of FRITZY BOY without correcting his mount.
Taking all the above factors into account we impose a suspension on Mr Innes from riding in races to start after racing on 20 September 09 and conclude after racing on 2 October 09. In addition we impose a fine of $1500.
