Meet Chair:
NSkelt

Meet Committee Member 1:
ADennis

Race Date:
2012/04/07

Race Number:
Race 7

Decision:

The Committee was satisfied a clear breach of the rule had occurred and as a result thus found the charge proved.

Penalty:

Mr Misbah was fined the sum of $350.00 and reminded of his professional obligations.

Charge:

At the conclusion of Race 7 Carriers Arms Hotel Riverton Cup Stipendiary Steward Mr M Davidson filed an information A5880 alleging that jockey M H Misbah failed to ride his mount ACQUIT out to the finish of the race, ACQUIT eventually finishing eleventh, with the sixth to tenth placed horses receiving $1000 in stake money.

Facts:

Stipendiary Steward Mr M Davidson told the Committee that the charge was a little unusual in that the sixth to tenth placed horses in this particular race received stake money.

Stipendiary Steward Mr J McLaughlin showed the Committee several video clips of the alleged incident, highlighting jockey Mr M Misbah's lack of vigour over the concluding stages of the race which allowed YA DREAMIN JONESY ridden by Miss J Morris to gain tenth placing shot of the finishing line.

Submissions for Decision:

Mr M Misbah stated that he had made an error of judgement as he had not realised the stakes placings were being paid from sixth to tenth. He realised his horse ACQUIT was well spent and that it would be racing on the second day of the meeting on the following Monday and that he needed to look after it.

Reasons for Decision:

The Committee was satisfied that Mr Misbah had not shown any urgency or vigour on his mount ACQUIT over the concluding stages of the race and had simply allowed his mount to just run to the line.

Submissions for Penalty:

Stipendiary Steward Mr M Davidson stated that Mr Misbah had an outstanding riding record and that the circumstances around this race were unique.

Mr Misbah asked the Committee to take into account his admittance of the breach and his riding record.

Reasons for Penalty:

The Committee agreed with the submission of both Mr Davidson and Mr Misbah and on this occasion believed Mr Misbah had made a simple error of judgement and that he clearly had the horse's interests at heart.
