ID: JCA13976
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Waikouaiti RC - 1 January 2017
Meet Chair:
GHall
Meet Committee Member 1:
PKnowles
Race Date:
2017/01/01
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
Mr Shaikh has admitted the breach, which we find proved.
Penalty:
Mr Shaikh has engagements at Omakau and Reefton. He is suspended for two days at the end of the Reefton meeting on 5 January up to and including 11 January. This is two South Island days (Greymouth 7 January and Hokitika 11 January).
Facts:
Mr Davidson alleged that Mr P Shaikh (LUKANDER) allowed his mount to shift inwards near the 100 metres when not clear of GALLANT DEFENDER (Mr S Muniandy). GALLANT DEFENDER was crowded and checked.
Mr Davidson demonstrated on the video that near the 100 metres the respondent was racing one off the rail with Mr Muniandy to his inside. He noted that the horse to the outside of the respondent had laid in a little and LUKANDER had shifted away. Mr Shaikh did not correct LUKANDER, and GALLANT DEFENDER, which was racing on the fence to the respondent’s inside, was crowded. Mr Davidson estimated the sideways movement to be one horse width.
Mr Pitman said the breach was “not the worst” and LUKANDER had rolled in when struck with the whip. He also highlighted the original movement by PATRICK ERIN.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson produced the respondent’s record, which evidenced one suspension this past year at Riccarton on 22 June where the penalty was three days’ suspension. He believed the breach to be low end. He said if Mr Shaikh had pulled the right rein he would not have been charged.
Mr Pitman agreed that the breach was low end and it was a matter of misjudgement. He emphasised that Mr Shaikh's record was good.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Shaikh is a busy South Island jockey. We take the 3-day starting point as provided in the JCA Penalty Guide. Mr Muniandy was inconvenienced and had to check his mount at a significant point in the race. We see no reason to increase or decrease the starting point having regard to the gravity of the breach.
After a one-day discount for good record (six months and no breach) and admission of the breach the penalty is two days’ suspension.
