Meet Title:
Levin RC - 23 September 2011
Meet Chair:
TCastles
Meet Committee Member 1:
PWilliams
Race Date:
2011/09/23
Race Number:
R8
Decision:
The charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Tinsley, this committee has decided to suspend you from race riding after the completion of racing on Sunday the 25th of September until the completion of racing on Thursday the 29th September – 3 days (Waimate 26th Sept - Awapuni – 25th Sept - Tauranga – 29th Sept).
Charge:
Alledged breach of Rule 638 (1) (d)
Facts:
Mr H Tinsley was charged under Rule 638 (1) (d) in that he permitted his mount Surrounded By Sin to shift outwards passing the 250 metres when not sufficiently clear of So Phenomenal (J Riddell) which was checked.
After the Rule was read Mr Tinsley confirmed he did not admit the charge.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Neal asked Stipendary Steward J Oatham to take the committee through all the available films. He submitted that at approximately the 250 metres Mr Tinsley's mount Surrounded By Sin, which was travelling adjacent to the running rail, moved out onto the line of So Phenomenal causing that horse to lose ground.
Contact was made by that outward movement and Mr Riddell had to take hold. Mr Oatham believed that Surrounded By Sin was barely a length clear when the horse moved out.
Mr J Riddell, rider of So Phenomenal, was called as a witness.
He submitted that although his mount was battling it was travelling straight and entitled to be on the line it was. He did feel pressure from the horse on his inside which was travelling better than his mount. Contact was made as Surrounded By Sin moved, out, he had to take hold of his mount and in a stride Mr Tinsley's mount was away.
He reiterated that So Phenomenal was weakening slightly and was battling.
Mr Tinsley had no questions to Mr Riddell.
Mr Tinsley, using the available films, took the committee through the incident. He believed that he was always going to win the race – he was travelling well. He felt he left as long as possible time to make his run. There was, in his opinion, no room along the rail to mount his run – his only option was to pull out. He felt that Mr Riddell's mount was tiring, but under questioning agreed that So Phenomenal was entitled to the line he was on.
Mr Tinsley told the committee that he believed there is a fine line between competitive and careless riding and as a senior and experienced rider on a horse travelling well he was duty bound to put his horse into the race. He moved out to win the race and he did push Mr Riddell's mount off its line. He felt it was an error of judgement on his part.
Reasons for Decision:
All available films of the incident were re-visited. Surrounded By Sin was travelling and was pulled out to make his run. The films confirmed he was barely a length clear when Surrounded By Sin commenced his outwards movement. So Phenomenal was entitled to be where he was, even though he was tiring slightly and in Mr Riddell's words, only battling.
Contact was made and Mr Riddell did have to take hold of his mount.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Neal in his submission classed Mr Tinsley as a busy rider who rides throughout New Zealand. He has had two suspensions for careless racing in the last 12 months – one on the 2nd of November in Wellington (4 days) and the other at Riccarton on the 12th of November (6 days). Mr Neal informed the committee that Mr Tinsley has had approximately 450 race rides since last charged and this is an excellent record. He is an experienced and sought after rider who rides throughout New Zealand. Mr Neal classed the incident at the lower end of the scale and asked for a period of suspension. He felt it was an error of judgement on Mr Tinsley's part but his excellent record should be, he believed, recognised in any period of suspension imposed.
Mr Tinsley reiterated that he did move out to win the race and yes he did bump Mr Riddell off his line but he did believe that So Phenomenal was weakening.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Tinsley in coming to our decision to impose a period of suspension for this breach we have begun our deliberations from a five day starting point.
Your excellent record under this rule must be reflected in a reduction of days from that starting point.
The committee is of the opinion that the incident can be classed at the lower end of the careless riding scale. We have noted also that you are a busy and sought after rider who does ride in both the North and South Island. You yourself believed it was an error of judgement on your part when you pulled out onto Mr Riddell's line and bumped him to put your mount into the race.
