Hearing Date:

Hearing Location:
Trentham Racecourse
Outcome: Proved
Penalty: Apprentice Jockey Toni Davies is suspended for 4 days
Evidence:
Following Race 4, Mr Goodwin presented an Information charging Apprentice Jockey Ms T Davies with careless riding in breach of Rule 638(1)(d).
Ms Davies, assisted by Ms Clapperton, admitted the charge.
It was alleged, and confirmed from the race films, that Ms Davies, the Rider of “MOSSRAAJ” permitted her mount to shift inwards in the home straight when not sufficiently clear of “NO BIZZ” and “DOLLYBIRD”. The former horse was dictated inwards onto “DOLLYBIRD” which had to be checked near the 350 metres mark.
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, it was deemed proved.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Goodwin submitted that the degree of carelessness was in the low range. Ms Davies has had 308 rides over the last 12 months, with 2 careless riding breaches since March. She made no submissions as to penalty, other than state that commencement of any suspension ought not be deferred after today.
Reasons for Penalty:
From a starting point of 5 days suspension, the Adjudicative Committee affords her a small discount for a generally good record and therefore deemed it appropriate that the penalty be a 4 day suspension.
Conclusion:
Accordingly, Ms Davies’ Licence to ride is suspended from the conclusion of racing today, 15 December 2024, until the conclusion of racing on 21 December 2024.
