DECISION & REASON:

--

Following race 6 an information was filed pursuant to Rule 871(1)(d) when it was alleged by the informant, Stipendiary Steward Mr J Oatham, that Mr Jason Collett, rider of COLORADO, committed a breach of that Rule when he permitted his mount to shift inwards after the start when not sufficiently clear of CAPE FEAR (L Cropp) who was dictated inwards causing a check to STRIKER (T McMullen) and tightening LACYLINI (T Harris).

--

 

--

Mr J R Collett admitted the breach and was represented by Mr L V Goord (owner).

--

 

--

Stipendiary Steward Mr M Williamson demonstrated the video films and showed where shortly after the start Mr Collett came across on his mount when not the required distance clear tightening CAPE FEAR and L Cropp had to take a hold of her mount causing subsequent checks to STRIKER and LACYLINI. 

--

 

--

Mr Collett had nothing further to add.

--

 

--

Mr Goord stated that Mr Collett was marginally clear and Miss Cropp had over-reacted from the movement from her outside.

--

 

--

Mr Oatham produced Mr Collett’s record which was excellent – he has had approximately 100 mounts in his 4 month career and this was his first charge.  He pointed out that Mr Collett was never clear and dictated Miss Cropp’s line.  He submitted a 4 day suspension.  Mr Collett stated he had confirmed riding engagements for Taupo on 8 October.

--

 

--

The Committee carefully considered all submissions and before imposing a penalty took into account the following:

--

 

--

1.            Guilty plea.

--

2.            Mr Collett’s excellent record.

--

3.            Degree of carelessness.

--

4.            The interference suffered by Miss Cropp, Miss McMullen and Mr T Harris.

--

 

--

Accordingly the Committee imposed a suspension to be served by J R Collett starting after racing on 8 October and to conclude after racing on 15 October, 4 days.
