Meet Title:
Waipukurau JC - 5 December 2010
Meet Chair:
TCastles
Meet Committee Member 1:
TUtikere
Race Date:
2010/12/05
Race Number:
R 6 and 7
Decision:
As the breaches of Rule 638 (1)(d) were admitted they were found proven.
Penalty:
Mr. Riddell on the first breach you are suspended from race riding after completion of racing today, 5 December until completion of racing on Friday 10 December (3 days).
On the second breach you are suspended from race riding after completion of racing on Friday 10 December until the completion of racing on Friday 17 of December 2010 (5) days.
Charge:
Careless Riding
Facts:
Mr. J. Riddell admitted two charges of careless riding brought under Rule 638 (1) (d). The first in Race 6 and the second in Race 7.
Mr. Neal asked if both charges could be presented together as they were both under the same rule and had been admitted by the defendant.
Mr. Riddell had no objection and this course of action was agreed to by the committee.
Rule 638 (1) (d) reads: A rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be careless.
Information 6784 was then proceeded with. That information reads passing the 800 metre mark, J. Riddell has angled his mount ‘Flemington’ out to improve and in doing so has dictated ‘Red Rhapsody’ out onto the heels of ‘Edison’ resulting in ‘Red Rhapsody’ being checked.
Submissions for Decision:
As the charge was admitted, Mr. Neal was asked to make comment on the available films. Mr. Neal informed the committee that at approximately the 800 metre mark Mr. Riddell shifted ground causing ‘Red Rhapsody’ to be checked. He believed to some degree his actions were dictated by ‘Jakes Mate’ who at that point in the race was tiring.
Mr. Riddell making comments on the available films did confirm that ‘Jakes Mate’ was tiring and he moved outwards to clear traffic, when not sufficiently clear.
Information Number 6786 was then proceeded with. That read: Passing the 300 metres, Mr. Riddell angled his mount ‘Mr. Mo’ inwards to improve and in doing so tightened ‘Carolina Bella’ (L. Allpress) which had to be checked and rebalanced.
Submission:
Mr. R. Neal, using the available films, informed the committee that ‘Carolina Bella’ was making up ground on the inside of ‘Mr. Mo’, was perfectly entitled to take the line that she did and after the movement inward by ‘Mr. Mo’ had to change ground.
Mr. Riddell agreed it was a case of careless riding, he didn’t realise or check on the horse on his inside when angling inward.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr. Neal informed the committee that Mr. Riddell had been suspended under this rule 3 times since December 2009. 23 January – 5 days. 25 March – 5 days. 28 August – 4 days. He confirmed that Mr. Riddell was a national rider and his record, considering the number of rides he undertakes, was good.
Both charges, he believed, were on the lower to middle range but the second charge he felt should be answered with a stronger penalty of suspension because of its closeness to the first charge.
He confirmed the recently promulgated guidelines with 5 days as the starting point in suspensions and invited the committee to consider this and the other submissions.
Mr. Riddell told the committee he was a busy rider who had major commitments in the next few weeks and asked if he could contact his jockey’s agent with a view of confirming when a period of suspension could begin.
After the adjournment, Mr. Riddell asked for a 7 day determent, but on being informed by the Chairman this may prejudice his chances of riding ‘Jimmy Chox’ on Boxing Day, then asked for any suspension to begin after racing today. Mr. Neal had no concerns with this course of action.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr. Riddell, in coming to our decision to impose a period of suspension to be served on both charges, we have taken into account your admittance of both breaches and your confirmed acceptance for the penalty of any suspension to begin immediately.
On Information 6784, Race 6, we have begun our deliberations from the starting point of a 5 day suspensions. We have decided to reduce that period by two days reflecting your acceptance of the breach and the fact that we believe the incident to be at the lower end of the scale. Your good riding record has also contributed to the reduction.
Mr. Riddell, you are suspended from race riding after the completion of racing today, the 5th Day of December, until the completion of racing on Friday the 10th of December. 3 days.
We then turn our attention to Information 6786. We have also used the approved guidelines of a 5 day starting point. Unlike the previous charge, we are unable to grant you any reduction. Even though you have admitted the breach, you yourself informed the committee it was a “dumb piece of riding”, you didn’t look when you moved inwards and were unaware ‘Caroline Bella’ was making ground on your inside. That horse had to be taken hold of and change ground. This breach was committed the very next race after being charged and admitting a charge of careless riding.
While we concur with the Stewards comments that his breach and the previous could be rated in the low to middle range, we are concerned that a senior jockey classed as a national rider would commit two breaches of this rule so close together.
We have acceded to your request for the period of suspension to begin immediately to ensure your availability for an important riding engagement on Boxing Day.
