Meet Committee Member 1:

Race Date:
2014/11/08
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge against Ms Moki to be proved.
Penalty:
After taking all of these factors into consideration the Committee considered that an appropriate penalty is a term of suspension which will commence after racing at Matamata on 12 November and conclude after racing on 21 November 2014 - 4 North Island days.
The meetings involved are:
Dargaville 14th November
Tauranga 15th November
Woodville 19th November
New Plymouth 21st November
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, DASHTICKETS.CO.NZ 1200 an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 638(1)(d). The Informant, Mr Oatham, alleged that near the 700 metres Ms Moki riding CARTELL allowed her mount to shift in when not clear of CASILLAS (Mr N Harris) which was checked.
The relevant Rule was read to Ms Moki who confirmed that she understood the Rule and that she admitted the breach. Ms Moki was assisted in the hearing by Mr A Peard, Licensed Trainer.
Rule 638(1)(d) provides: ' A Rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless'.
Using the available video films, Stipendiary Steward Mr M Williamson identified the subject horses. He pointed out that near the 700 metres CARTELL ridden by Ms Moki was in a position one-off the rail with CASILLAS ridden by Mr N Harris inside and about a half length behind her. ONLYAROSE ridden by Ms A Jones was ahead of CARTELL at the time and Mr Williamson stated there was a gap between these 2 horses. He then pointed out that ONLYAROSE commenced to shift inwards towards CARTELL which in turn moved inwards towards CASILLAS. As a result Mr Harris was forced to severely check CASILLAS as Miss Moki allowed CARTELL to continue shifting inwards. As a result CASILLAS lost between one and a half and two lengths and also lost its momentum.
Mr Peard, for Ms Moki, said he considered Ms Moki was unlucky to be charged. He said there were several horses racing in tight quarters at the time and that the horse CARTELL was known to over-race at times.
Ms Moki had nothing to add.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham produced Ms Moki's record which showed one previous breach of this Rule, when she was suspended for 4 days.
He added that there were some mitigating factors in Ms Moki's favour. He said there was significant interference prior to the incident when there was pressure to Miss Moki by Ms Jones outside her. He also considered Ms Moki's inexperience had been a factor in this incident. He felt she should be given credit for her admission of the breach which the Stewards felt fell into the mid-high range. However Mr Oatham told the Committee that the stewards felt Ms Moki's carelessness was at the lower end of the scale and that any period of suspension could reflect that.
Mr Peard had no comment regarding a likely penalty.
Ms Moki told the Committee she had ridden at Taranaki and was available to ride throughout the North Island when opportunities presented. She said she had rides at Matamata on 12 November and any suspension could commence after that. Mr Oatham confirmed that the Stewards viewed Ms Moki as a North Island rider.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee have adopted 5 riding days as the starting point in considering a term of suspension on Ms Moki. The mitigating factors are that Ms Moki admitted the breach; that there was contributing pressure from Ms Jones outside her which caused her to perhaps over-react due to her relative inexperience, and that her horse was known to over race at times. Balancing those factors was that due to this incident a protest was lodged by Mr Harris- which was not upheld- as his mount was affected to the extent that it lost momentum and up to 2 lengths.
The Committee also took into account that Ms Moki had only one previous breach of this Rule in her relatively brief career.
