Meet Title:

Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2017/10/21
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
As the breach was admitted it was deemed to be proved.
Penalty:
Ms Schwerin’s Apprentice Jockey’s License was suspended from the end of Racing on 28 October to the conclusion of Racing on 10 November 2017 (5 days).
The days being:
1 November - Auckland
4 November - Tauranga
7 November - Auckland
8 November - Te Awamutu
10 November - Auckland
Facts:
Following the running of Race 4 (T.W. Moore 1950) Information A10016 was filed with the Judicial Committee. The Informant alleged that Ms Schwerin, the Rider of ESKIMO PRINCE, allowed her mount to shift out when not sufficiently clear of VIVA LA JOUR which was checked near the 125m.
Rule 638(1)(d) provides:
A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be:
(d) careless
Ms Schwerin acknowledged that she understood the Rule, the charge and confirmed that she admitted the breach.
Mr Coles, Stipendiary Steward, showed all relevant film replays and identified the two horses involved. He said that prior to the 125m ESKIMO PRINCE was racing one-off the fence with VIVA LA JOUR back and to its outside. He said that Ms Schwerin then let her mount shift out more than she possibly anticipated, resulting in a sharp check to VIVA LA JOUR. Mr Coles concluded by saying that ESKIMO PRINCE was only a bare length clear of VIVA LA JOUR when it shifted.
Ms Schwerin said that her horse had been travelling well and was zigzagging between horses and when angled out it went further that she anticipated. She added that her horse had got its tongue back and as a result felt uncomfortable.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham said that Ms Schwerin had had two careless riding breaches during the past twelve months, with the most recent being on 17 May 2017 when a 5-riding day suspension was imposed.
He placed the carelessness in the mid-range or just above and said that a term of suspension in line with that would be the appropriate penalty.
Mr Oatham told the committee that Ms Schwerin had had only 64 rides since January 1 and that she rides predominantly in the Northern area.
Ms Schwerin said that she had rides on 28 October and would like any suspension to commence after that date.
Mr Harris said that Ms Schwerin had won a trip to Mr Waller’s stable in Sydney, listens well to his advice and asked for leniency.
Reasons for Penalty:
The JCA starting point for Careless Riding is a 5-Riding Day Suspension. A discount of 1 day was afforded Ms Schwerin due to the admittance of the breach and the relatively good record. An uplift of 1 day was deemed appropriate due to the Committee being satisfied that the carelessness exhibited by Ms Schwerin was at least mid-range.
