ID: JCA15097
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Tapanui RC - 23 December 2012
Meet Chair:
PKnowles
Meet Committee Member 1:
NSkelt
Race Date:
2012/12/23
Race Number:
R7
Decision:
Miss Black had admitted the breach and the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Miss Black’s Apprentice Jockey’s Licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing on 26th December until the conclusion of racing on the 1st January 2013, incorporating three South Island racing dates.
Charge:
Rule 638 provides as follows:
(1) A rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be: (d) careless.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 7, AON INSURANCE BROKERS & TAPANUI FOUR SQUARE HDCP, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr Davidson, against Licensed Apprentice Jockey, Miss R Black, alleging a breach of Rule 638 (1)(d) in that Miss Black, as the rider of “Shatarka” in the race, “…allowed her mount “Shatarka” to shift out when not sufficiently clear causing a check to “Halo Flight” (A Frye) passing the 150 metres”
Miss Black was present at the hearing and indicated that she admitted the breach. She was assisted at the hearing by Mr Tyler, Licensed Trainer.
Submissions for Decision:
Stipendiary Steward, Mr Davidson, with the assistance of the head and side-on Race Videos, illustrated how Miss Black, when riding her mount out, allowed her mount to shift outwards coming into contact with Halo Flight, causing a check to that runner. He said Halo Flight was attempting to improve into a gap on the outside of Shatarka prior to the incident. He said there was room for Halo Flight initially. Mr Davidson said Ms Black hadn’t moved much but it was enough for interference to occur.
It was evident from the race video Miss Black had allowed her mount to shift out causing a significant check to Halo Flight.
Miss Black accepted the Stipendiary Stewards submissions. She told the Committee she wasn’t aware that Halo Flight was attempting to improve on her outer. She did not feel her mount had shifted a lot.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson told the committee that Miss Black had resumed her race riding apprenticeship after a break. This current season she had ridden approximately 76 times for 7 wins. He said it was the first charge for Miss Black under this Rule and could not recall Miss Black having been charged for a similar offence in her career. Miss Black had a good record and had admitted the charge and had fully co-operated with the Stewards. He viewed the level of interference at the mid to low end of the scale. However, he viewed the consequences of the interference as high and sought a suspension of two to three South Island race days. He said Miss Black had confirmed rides at Wingatui on Boxing Day (December 26th).
Miss Black accepted Mr McLaughlin’s submissions. She said she had never been charged with a similar offence when riding previously over jumps as an apprentice. She did not want a deferment of any penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee determined a starting point of 5 days suspension as appropriate.
We took into account Mr Davidson's submissions regarding Miss Black's good record and the severity of the interference caused, her early admission and co-operation. We also took into account Miss Black’s submissions regarding her good record.
Accordingly we considered a suspension of 3 South Island racing days as an appropriate penalty.
