Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Riverton RC - 31 March 2018
Meet Chair:
GHall
Meet Committee Member 1:
PKnowles
Race Date:
2018/03/31
Race Number:
R 1
Decision:
As Mr Mudhoo has admitted the breach, we find the breach proved.
Penalty:
Mr Mudhoo is suspended from the end of racing on 7 April up to and including 19 April. This is eight National days.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 1, the TODD & CO REALTY & INSURANCE BROKERS ALLIANCE HANDICAP, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr Davidson, against Mr Mudhoo, alleging careless riding in that he permitted his mount CIVIC RECEPTION to shift inwards near the 1400 metres when not sufficiently clear of BRAVO SUPREMO, which was crowded and checked.
Mr McLaughlin demonstrated on the videos that near the 1400 metres the respondent commenced to shift inwards and Mr Callaway had to check his mount, BRAVO SUPREMO. Mr Mudhoo was not his length and another clear of Mr Callaway, who was placed in difficulty for some time.
Mr Davidson said it was a misjudgement on the part of the respondent and BRAVO SUPREMO had been placed under continued pressure because Mr Mudhoo had continued to ease the pace.
Mr Walsh said when Mr Mudhoo crossed it was just marginal. With respect to the easing of the pace, he said the fact that apprentices were given instructions not to lead did not help as it “stops apprentices rolling to the front”. He said it removed initiative from apprentice jockeys. He believed BRAVO SUPREMO had over-reacted when Mr Mudhoo had come across, although he accepted Mr Mudhoo had initially caused the incident.
Mr Mudhoo said Mr Skerrett had said to him to “let me go”, as he was intent on leading.
Mr Davidson said BRAVO SUPREMO had never had a chance to settle and had over-raced for some time.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson produced the respondent’s record, which evidenced four previous breaches of this rule since November 2017, including two in the last six weeks. He said Mr Mudhoo had had a very good record prior to this. He said no credit could be given for this record. He described the breach as low to mid range. That BRAVO SUPREMO had over-raced had made it look worse, but Mr Mudhoo had set this off.
Mr Walsh said Mr Mudhoo was a quality rider who rides very well. He was on a rollercoaster of suspensions and riding winners. These were all slight misjudgements but they were adding up.
Mr Mudhoo asked for a deferment of the penalty until after Riccarton on 7 April. Mr Davidson had no objection to this.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Mudhoo has allowed his mount to shift inwards on the track when not clear of Mr Callaway on BRAVO SUPREMO. He has then eased the pace and allowed Mr Skerrett on PACIF TAP to go to the lead. Mr Callaway was clearly inconvenienced for some distance although it is accepted that BRAVO SUPREMO has over-reacted to the check it received and has taken time to settle. Nonetheless, the difficulty Mr Callaway found himself in was due to the respondent’s actions.
We view the breach as being at high end of low range. An assessment of low end mid range would not be of the question, but we take a seven-day starting point. A two-day uplift is appropriate for Mr Mudhoo’s record, which is beginning to become one of concern in recent weeks. After a one day deduction for admission, the penalty is one of eight National days.
