DECISION:
--Following race 7 an information was lodged against D G Bradley alleging careless riding under Rule 871(1)(d). The charge read as follows:
--"I, the abovenamed informant allege that the abovenamed defendant committed a breach of Rule 871(1)(d) in that he shifted inwards when not sufficiently clear of SALSA (L Innes) dictating that runner inwards until SALSA had to be checked off the heels of D Bradley's mount VIENNETTA."
----Mr Bradley admits the breach.
----Mr Oatham demonstrated the careless riding incident on head-on and side-on race videos. He said that Mr Bradley's mount moved in 7 horse widths and was one length ahead of SALSA ridden by L Innes, consequently causing a check to SALSA.
----PENALTY:
--The Committee heard submissions from Mr A Coles and Mr D Bradley on penalty. Mr Coles sought a suspension of 3 weeks and referred us to Rule 1122(2).
----Rule 1122(2) provides:
--"On finding a breach proved the Judicial Committee may impose any penalty provided by these Rules. In imposing a penalty provided in these Rules the Judicial Committee may have regard to such matters as they consider appropriate including:
--(a) the status of the race;
--(b) the stake payable in respect of the race;
--(c) any consequential effects upon any person or horse as a result of the breach of the Rule;
--(d) the need to maintain integrity and public confidence in racing."
----This was a group one race and there was a substantial stake (1st $75,000, 2nd $24,000, 3rd $12,000). In this race there was a protest and a relegation. Mr Coles acknowledged Mr Bradley had a good record.
----Mr Bradley acknowledged his riding was careless and said that he made an error of judgement.
----We have determined that a suspension be imposed. Taking into account the guilty plea, submissions, Mr Bradley's explanation, good riding record and Rule 1122, we impose a suspension from the conclusion of racing on 12 April 2006 up to and including 3 May 2006 (3 weeks).
