--

Thornton) who had to check.

--

Mr. C. Lammas admitted the breach.

--

Mr J Oatham demonstrated the video films which clearly showed MISS SHARAPOVA ridden by Mr Lammas shifting in when under pressure dictating the rightful running line of 3 horses on his inner. He said Mr Lammas did not take the necessary corrective action to avoid the interference which resulted in RIVIERA PRINCESS ridden by Mrs Thornton receiving a sharp check.

--

Mr Lammas said MISS SHARAPOVA was laying in prior to the incident, but ducked in quickly in the last 50 metres and while he straightened his mount, it was too late.

--

PENALTY SUBMISSIONS

--

Mr. Coles said Mr Lammas had three previous suspensions in the last 12 months. He said Mr Lammas rides in the North Island and submitted a suspension at the bottom end.

--

Mr Lammas said he had firm commitments at Tauranga on January 2 2010, and would like the suspension to start after that race day.

--

PENALTY

--

The committee carefully considered the evidence and submissions presented. We took into account the guilty plea; Mr Lammas’s good riding record and the level of carelessness being at the low end. We grant Mr Lammas request that the suspension starts after racing on January 2 2010.

--

Accordingly we impose a suspension from race riding to start after racing on the 2nd of January 2010 and to conclude after racing on the 7th January 2010 (4 days)
