Must of appealed the original decision although the RIB posts the 16th October
'
The Respondent requested a deferment of any suspension until after the meeting of Rotorua RC on 16 October 2023.
REASONS FOR PENALTY:
The Adjudicative Committee assessed the level of carelessness as being in the mid-range. The RIB Thoroughbred Racing Penalty Guide (February 2023) provides for a starting point for penalty for such a breach of a 7-days suspension. An uplift is appropriate for the Respondent’s record of careless riding and this is set at 2 days.
A discount from that adjusted starting point of 9 days for the Respondent’s admission of the breach is appropriate, and the Adjudicative Committee sets that discount at 1 day.
CONCLUSION:
The Respondent’s application for a deferment is granted. She is suspended from riding in races under her Class A Jockey’s Licence from after the close of racing on 16 October 2023, up to and including 27 October 2023 – 8 national riding days.
