Race Date:
2018/06/14
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
As Mr Nason admitted the breach the charge is found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Nason is suspended from the close of racing on Sunday 17 June 2018 to the close of racing on Sunday 24 June 2018.
Facts:
Following the running of race 6, the “Wickham Clan 1200”, Information A10396 was filed by Senior Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Williamson under Rule 638(1)(d). The Information stated “in that Jordan Nason allowed his mount to shift inwards near the 900m when not clear of “Dashper” which was checked”.
Mr Nason signed the Information stating he admitted the breach and at the beginning of the hearing confirmed that was correct and that he understood the Rule under which he was charged. He was assisted by Trainer, Mr G Cullen.
Rule 638 (1) (d) states “A rider shall not ride a horse in a manner which the Judicial Committee considers to be .....careless”.
Using the available films Stipendiary Steward, Mr Goodwin identified Mr Nason approximately 300m after the start approaching the first bend in a position one from the outside racing just in advance of midfield. Mr Goodwin said to the inside of and behind Mr Nason was “Dashper” ridden by Mr Parkes. Mr Goodwin said the film showed Mr Nason moving inwards across Mr Parkes when only a bare length in front which caused a check to “Dashper” and denied Mr Parkes the run he was entitled to. He added that to the inside of Mr Parkes was “Vatican News” ridden by Ms O’Beirne and whilst there was some slight outward movement by Ms O’Beirne at the same time this did not play a part in Mr Parkes having to check his horse.
Mr Nason said that he did look to his inside as he came across and mistimed his move just a fraction. He said he believed as Mr Parkes’ horse had moved up into a gap it had over reacted and as a result the incident looked worse than it actually was. He said he did not hear any calling from Mr Parkes as he came across.
Mr Cullen said Mr Nason had moved across to try and get some cover for his horse. He thought Ms O’Beirne’s horse on the inside of Mr Parkes had rolled out perhaps half a horse width which in his view had contributed to the interference. He added that he thought the films showed Mr Nason was the required distance clear and it was the overreaction of Mr Parkes horse which meant it had to be restrained.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson said Mr Nason had been charged twice with a breach of the Rule in the previous 12 months – on 17 February 2018 when he was suspended for 6 national riding days and on 28 April when in a Group 3 race he was suspended for 8 national riding days. He described Mr Nason’s overall record as reasonable. He said that whilst Mr Nason has clearly moved in he was also steadying at the same time which meant the gap between him and Mr Parkes closed more quickly than otherwise might be the case and for this reason the Stewards considered the severity of the breach to be at the low end. He submitted that a period of suspension was an appropriate penalty and that it should be not less than five days.
Mr Nason asked the Committee to note he was a hungry Apprentice trying to make a go of things and prove to everybody that he was a good rider. He said his riding record was a reasonable one and he did not intend to cause interference to Mr Parkes. After consideration he said he did not wish to seek any deferment of any suspension that might be imposed.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee has reviewed films of the incident which show that approaching the first bend in the 1200m race Mr Nason can be seen to angle his horse inwards from a position on the outside of “Dashper” ridden by Mr Parkes. In doing so he was not the required two lengths clear and as a result Mr Parkes had to take a hold and was checked. The Committee believes Mr Parkes’ horse did overreact to some degree as Mr Nason’s horse came across but nevertheless Mr Parkes was denied his rightful line of running. The Committee notes the comments made by all parties about the possible effect on Mr Parkes by Ms O’Beirne’ horse but it is far from clear whether the actions of “Vatican News” also contributed to the incident. The Committee considers Mr Nason’s record over the previous 12 months to be a neutral factor.
The Committee believes on this occasion a period of suspension is an appropriate penalty. We categorise the severity of the breach in the low range with the starting point for such a breach being a suspension of six national riding days. Taking all of the above into consideration we have decided from that start point the penalty should be reduced by one national riding day and Mr Nason is suspended for five national riding days.
