Mr J. Parkes, rider of REBECCA RULES in the Stella Artois Desert Gold Stakes, admitted a breach of rule 871(1)(d), the careless riding rule.
----
Mr N. Goodwin, Stipendiary Steward, used the head on film to support the stewards’ view that at the 250 metre mark Mr Parkes racing near the rear of the field, and behind a ‘wall of horses’, angled his mount four to five horse widths out in search of a run and in doing so severely checked JUICE (L. Innes). REBECCA RULES made contact with JUICE on two occasions. Mr Parkes made no effort to relieve the interference to JUICE and effectively extinguished that horse’s chances.
----
On the issue of penalty Mr Oatham, acting Chief Stipendiary Steward, acknowledged Mr Parkes very good riding record and his frankness with the stewards, but also drew attention to the Group III status of the race ($100,000 stake) and the severe interference caused to JUICE. He called for a six day suspension and a fine of $1000 - $2000.
----
Mr Parkes generally accepted Mr Oatham’s assessment, but asked for some leniency in relation to the fine.
----
The level of interference on this occasion is in the mid range of carelessness. It warrants in our view both a suspension and a fine. Mr Parkes’ actions were sustained and uncompromising in terms of their effects on JUICE.
----
We have given Mr Parkes credit for his excellent riding record and his forthright admission of the charge. But Mr Oatham rightly notes that the penalty on this occasion must also reflect the status of the race.
----
Taking those matters into account and the penalties set in previous similar circumstances in recent months Mr Parkes is suspended from the close of racing on 24 January 2009 until the close of racing on 14 February 2009, a three week suspension and fined the sum of $1,000.
