Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Wanganui JC - 30 May 2015
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 1:
NMcCutcheon
Race Date:
2015/05/30
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
Apprentice Oliver's licence to ride is suspended from the close of racing on Saturday 6th June up to and including racing on Wednesday 17th June. The suspension incorporates the Avondale (10th), Wanganui (11th), Whangarei/Manawatu (13th) and Whakatane (17th) meetings.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 4 (St Johns Club Maiden 1200m) Information A2727 was filed with the judicial committee. It alleged that "J Oliver allowed his mount JUSTABOUT READY to shift inwards near the 900 metres when insufficiently clear of NOT TODAY which was checked".
Mr Oliver, assisted by Mr Sharrock, confirmed that he understood the rule and that he admitted the breach.
Using the back-straight and side-on cameras, Mr Goodwin identified NOT TODAY (S McKay) racing to the inside of JUSTABOUT READY (J Oliver) as the field headed towards the turn at the end of the back straight and approaching the 900 metres. It was clear that Mr McKay had established himself to the inside of Mr Oliver. It was at this point that Mr Oliver allowed his mount to shift inwards when not the required distance clear, resulting in Mr McKay's horse receiving a check. Mr Sharrock stated that Mr Oliver was unaware that Mr McKay was positioned to his inside and that it was a case of slight negligence on Mr Oliver's part.
Submissions for Penalty:
In presenting Mr Oliver's record, Mr Goodwin acknowledged that he had three suspensions for a breach of this rule within the previous 12 months: at Matamata on 4 June (6 days), Rotorua on 27 December (5 days) and Wellington on 23 May (4 days). His most recent suspension was due to commence at the conclusion of racing on the date of this hearing. Mr Goodwin submitted that Mr Oliver's record was a reasonably good one and believed the level of carelessness sat within the low-range; submitting a 3 day period of suspension as appropriate.
Mr Sharrock asked the committee to take into consideration Mr Oliver's early admittance of the breach and that the level of carelessness was at the low end.
Mr Oliver asked the committee to defer any period of suspension to allow him to fulfil commitments at Waikato for his employer next Saturday. In response to a question from the committee, Mr Oliver confirmed that he had recently ridden in Christchurch, Riverton and the West Coast as part of a circuit, but he had no intention to ride at the upcoming Waimate Meeting.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee considered all of the submissions placed before it and believed a period of suspension was appropriate, adopting a five day starting point. The committee independently assessed the level of carelessness to fall within the low to mid range. It was clear from the films that Mr Oliver's inwards movement was not a result of him being dictated to as he was approaching the 900 metres. He simply moved inwards when not sufficiently clear, causing the check to Mr McKay.
In mitigation the committee considered his early admission of the breach, which was counterbalanced by Mr Oliver's record under this rule; having an existing period of suspension for a careless riding breach to commence at the conclusion of the day's racing. The committee considered that a four day period of suspension was appropriate. The committee noted that Mr Oliver was subject to a period of suspension that was to expire at the conclusion of racing at New Plymouth on Thursday 4 June. Under the provision of Rule 1106(2), the committee also noted Mr Oliver's intention to defer a period of suspension for the current breach until after racing at Waikato on Saturday 6 June to allow him to fulfil engagements he had made.
