Facts:
Following the running of Race 1 (Waitotara Bulk Supplies 2200m) Information A6823 was filed with the judicial committee. It instigated a protest under the provision of Rule 642(1) alleging that RED THUNDER placed first by the judge interfered with the chances of ALTIPLANO placed second by the judge. It alleged "interference in the final straight".
The provisional placings were:
1st (3) RED THUNDER
2nd (1) ALTIPLANO
3rd (10) ASH PALACE
4th (8) BELLE ZED
5th (12) MOORISH
6th (2) QUANTUM MAELSTROM
The margin between first and second was a long neck.
Submissions for Decision:
Stipendiary Steward Mr Goodwin identified the runners concerned on the available side-on and head-on films as they approached the final 200m.
Mr Wheeler submitted that the field had entered the straight and initially there was room for Mr Tinsley to go up on the inside of RED THUNDER. As he moved into the gap he believed Mr Tinsley was then required to restrain his horse as there was no room because Miss Hemi had rolled in. He stated that Mr Tinsley was using his whip but then had to ease and, in his estimation had lost around half a length. He also believed the gap had re-presented itself 10 strides later and ALTIPLANO had pushed through and was making ground on the leader. He believed that if the gap had been there for the duration of the straight there was no doubt he would have beaten the winner.
Mr Tinsley stated that RED THUNDER had rolled outwards after the turn, presenting a gap, for which he rode forward. Three to four strides later, RED THUNDER had rolled inwards requiring him to stop riding for four to five strides. He said he was on a big-striding horse and he could not afford to be held up at a vital stage of the race. He submitted that he had lost momentum as a result and with the margin being a long neck, believed he would have beaten the winner if the interference had not occurred.
Miss Hemi conceded that her horse had rolled in marginally, and that her horse was going quite strongly. She indicated she was approximately 3/4 length in front and had pulled RED THUNDER back out when he had rolled inwards. She did not hear any yelling, had taken corrective action and did not believe her horse would have been beaten.
Mr McKenzie identified an inside gap at the top of the straight, stating that ALTIPLANO was not going good enough to go through that gap. It was clear that Mr Tinsley had used his whip and the horse had simply not responded. He believed RED THUNDER had rolled in slightly but that ALTIPLANO had ample opportunity to get past RED THUNDER in the final 150m, even though ALTIPLANO been very momentarily held up, but that RED THUNDER had gone to the line full of running.
Mr Goodwin was invited to make comment on the incident, but not the merits of the protest. In doing so, he submitted that Mr Tinsley was entitled to be where he was at the top of the straight. It was clear that a gap was presented and that Mr Tinsley had elected to take that run. The stewards believed Mr Tinsley was established in that gap and that interference had occurred when RED THUNDER rolled inwards. As a result, Mr Tinsley was held up for a minimum of four strides. When looking at how both runners finished the race, he submitted that RED THUNDER appeared to be holding its margin over ALTIPLANO.
Reasons for Decision:
It was clear that approaching the 200m interference had occurred. This was supported by the head-on film. It was also clear that ALTIPLANO had established itself into the gap, supported by the side-on film and Miss Hemi's own submission. RED THUNDER had rolled in onto ALTIPLANO hampering the inside horse for approximately five strides. Miss Hemi had taken corrective action, when this occurred. When reviewing the run to the line over the concluding stages, it was clear that RED THUNDER, under a hands and heels ride, was holding its own over ALTIPLANO. While Mr Tinsley was using his whip and riding his mount out with vigour, the committee was not satisfied that, had the interference not occurred, ALTIPLANO would have beaten RED THUNDER.
