R6
Hearing Date:
21/07/2024
Hearing Location:
Oamaru
Outcome: Proved
Penalty: Jockey Krishna Mudhoo is suspended for 4 days
Mr Davidson alleged that Mr Mudhoo allowed his mount JING JING in Race 6, to shift ground outwards when not clear, crowding and checking FRIENDOFTHEDEVIL (Mr Toolooa) passing the 300 metres.
Miss Haley demonstrated on the videos that Mr Mudhoo was racing mid-field 3 off the rail, when he shifted ground outwards and into the line of Mr Toolooa, who had to check his mount. Mr Mudhoo was not his length and another clear when his mount drifted out.
Mr Mudhoo agreed he had shifted ground and that it was clear on the video. Mr Mudhoo added that JING JING was very green and was an awkward horse to ride, in that it had been racing in and out.
DecisionÂ
As Mr Mudhoo has admitted the breach, it is found to be proved.
Submissions as to Penalty
Mr Davidson produced the Respondent’s record, which is very good. Mr Mudhoo has only one previous breach of the Careless Riding Rule in the past 12 months and that was almost a year ago. Mr Mudhoo has had 173 rides his season. Mr Davidson described the breach as low range. Mr Mudhoo had drifted wider on the track and had not pulled the stick.
Mr Mudhoo stated he wished the suspension to commence after racing on 26 July.
Reasons for Penalty
Mr Mudhoo has shifted ground outwards by allowing his mount to drift wider on the track when not clear. This is his second breach of the Careless Riding Rule in the last 12 months. It is a low range breach and from a 5-day starting point, there is a one-day deduction for admission of the breach and his very good record.
Conclusion
Mr Mudhoo is suspended from the end of racing on 26 July 2024, up to and including 3 August 2024. This is 4 National Riding Days.
