ID: JCA16782
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Waikato RC - 19 March 2011
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 1:
BTims
Race Date:
2011/03/19
Race Number:
R2
Decision:
Accordingly the protest is upheld and the placings are now:
3 HOT IN BLACK 1st
6 LADY LUCILLE 2nd
8 VIDUKA 3rd
It was ordered the dividends and stakes be paid in accordance with the final decision.
Facts:
Following race 2 Mr J Oatham, Stipendiary Steward, lodged a protest pursuant to rule 642(1). He alleged that VIDUKA or its rider (placed 2nd by the judge) interfered with LADY LUCILLE (placed 3rd by the judge). The interference occurred in the final straight.
The judge’s placings were as follows:
3 HOT IN BLACK 1ST
8 VIDUKA 2ND
6 LADY LUCILLE 3RD
The official margin between 2nd and 3rd was a short neck.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Williamson demonstrated the incident using all the available video films. He showed at the 150 metres that VIDUKA shifts in and crowds LADY LUCILLE resulting in Miss A Collett being unable to ride her mount out for 100 metres. He showed that once LADY LUCILLE did gain its rightful running line back she made considerable ground in the last 50 metres when clear. He submitted that LADY LUCILLE would have beaten VIDUKA with a clear run.
Mr Norvall submitted his mount was tending to hang inwards in the final straight. He attempted to straighten his mount but conceded when asked by the committee he denied LADY LUCILLE a clear run for 100 metres.
Mr Thomas said VIDUKA was rolling in and out in the final straight. He agreed that Mr Norvall attempted to straighten his mount. He believed VIDUKA was getting tired over the last 100 metres.
Mr Priscott said the video films were self explanatory. He said it was clear looking at the grass mown strips on the track that VIDUKA had shifted over and into LADY LUCILLE’S rightful running line.
Miss A Collett said she had her line dictated to by VIDUKA and ran out of racing room for 100 metres. She said her mount was travelling well and once the gap opened up again in the last 50 metres LADY LUCILLE ran on strongly to the finish.
Mr Oatham when asked for his submissions said it was clear on the films that at the 150 metres VIDUKA shifts in and crowds LADY LUCILLE when she was ¾ length inside VIDUKA’S hind quarter. He said it was clear LADY LUCILLE had her rightful running line taken. He told the committee LADY LUCILLE made up good ground in the closing stages and believed that if interference had not occurred LADY LUCILLE would have beaten VIDUKA.
Mr Norvall when given the opportunity to sum up had nothing further to add.
Reasons for Decision:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions presented. The video films clearly showed that VIDUKA did take the rightful running line of LADY LUCILLE for 100 metres. It was evident that Miss Collett was unable to ride her mount forward from the 150 metres to the 50 metres when full of running. However in the last 50 metres when the gap was presented she took ¾ of a length off VIDUKA to finish a short neck from 2nd placing. Therefore we are satisfied that LADY LUCILLE would have beaten VIDUKA had interference not occurred.
