Facts:
Following the running of Race 1, Sarah Haworth – Harveys Real Estate 3yo Maiden an information was filed pursuant to Rule 638(1)(d). The informant, Mr Goodwin, alleged that Mr Bradley allowed his mount “High Tec” to shift out with 250m to run and checked “Stowaway” (R Hannam).
Mr Bradley acknowledged that he understood the rule, the charge and confirmed that he did not admit the breach. He also said that he understood his rights in an enquiry of this nature.
Rule 638(1)(d) reads:
“A rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the judicial committee considers to be careless”.
Submissions for Decision:
All available films were shown and Mr Whiterod said that Mr Bradley angled out for a run when there was not sufficient room to do so, that contact was made with Mr Hannam’s mount and it was forced off line. He said that there was minor movement from “Our Girl Kate” racing ahead of Mr Bradley’s mount but said that that horse was clear and did not dictate Mr Bradley’s horse. He added that Mr Bradley’s mount over-reacted and raced greenly after the interference had happened.
Mr Bradley did not question Mr Whiterod.
Mr Hannam, the rider of Stowaway, said that Mr Bradley was on his inside turning for home and had angled out to obtain a run. He said that there was not sufficient room for Mr Bradley to obtain a run; he said contact was made and his horse was put off balance and probably lost half a length. He added that the horse racing ahead of Mr Bradley “Our Girl Kate” may have shifted out slightly but at the time it was clear of his and Mr Bradley’s mount. He added that at the time Mr Bradley shifted out he was racing on level terms with his mount.
Mr Bradley did not have any questions of Mr Hannam.
Mr Bradley for his part said that turning for home Our Girl Kate was one off the fence and he believed that he would get a run between Our Girl Kate and Mr Hannam’s mount. He said that as they moved down the straight that Our Girl Kate had shifted out a good 3 horse widths off the fence. He said that this shift dictated his mount’s line of running, forcing him into putting more pressure onto Mr Hannam’s mount. He added that if Our Girl Kate had have kept a straight line he would have got a run between that horse and Mr Hannam’s horse. He reiterated that in his opinion Our Girl Kate was not clear of his mount when it shifted out and added that when his horse made contact with Mr Hannam’s mount, that due to being a colt, he layed his shoulder into the other horse, put himself off balance and over-reacted. He said that there were mitigating circumstances due to Our Girl Kate shifting out in front of his horse and he believed that under all the circumstances that he had not ridden carelessly.
In summation Mr Goodwin said that Mr Bradley made a decision to shift to the outside of Our Girl Kate when there was not sufficient room. He said Mr Bradley came out and pushed Mr Hannam’s horse outwards. He said firm contact was made and added that Our Girl Kate was clear and did not contribute to the incident. Mr Goodwin said that when Our Girl Kate was pushed out it forced Awesome Diva and Diamantine wider on the track. He added that Mr Bradley’s mount raced tractably up until the interference had occurred and only then raced greenly.
Reasons for Decision:
The committee after reviewing all films and considering all other evidence found that near the 250m, Mr Bradley angled his mount out for a run when he had been racing behind Our Girl Kate and to the inside of Stowaway, at that time he was racing on level terms with Stowaway. As a consequence of the shift very firm contact was made between the two horses resulting in Stowaway being forced outwards over a number of horse widths.
The film evidence showed that Our Girl Kate, who was racing ahead of Mr Bradley’s mount, did shift out, but that its movement contributed minimally if at all to the interference that occurred. The committee believed that Mr Bradley had ample time to correct his mount’s line of running to lessen the degree of interference, but only did so after securing a clear run and the interference had taken place. The committee noted that it was only after Mr Bradley straightened his mount that it was inclined to race greenly.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Goodwin said that Mr Bradley was a busy rider and had a relatively good record. His record showed that he had been suspended four times since March 2013, the most recent at Manawatu on 14 December 2013. He submitted that a term of suspension would be an appropriate penalty.
Mr Bradley confirmed that his record, as given, was correct. He said the he believed there were mitigating circumstances on this occasion. He said that he had been doing a lot of south island riding and intended riding at a number of south island meetings in the near future. He added that he was a central district and south island rider, but not a northern rider, and asked that this be taken into account by the committee.
Reasons for Penalty:
After considering all relevant matters pertaining to penalty, the committee determined that a suspension of five riding days was an appropriate penalty.
