Following the running of Race 8 on the second day, Sunday 30 November 2025, an altercation occurred upon pulling up. 3. Mudhoo was riding ON FILE and finished 10th of 13 runners. Jacobson was riding UGO and finished 9th. 4. As Mudhoo was turning his mount to head back to the birdcage, Jacobson deliberately rode UGO into the side of ON FILE, with his horse’s nose contacting Mudhoo’s side, the impact causing him to become unbalanced in the saddle. 5. Jacobson made comment similar to “I told you not to f….n’ come in there” and the pair exchanged words. 6. The initial contact is captured on Trackside footage, but then the coverage ends. 7. Mudhoo reacted by attempting to strike Jacobson with his whip, but missed, hitting UGO forcefully in the top of the head area. As he recoiled his arm, he lost his grip on the whip dropping it. 8. Their remonstrations were loud enough to attract the attention of fellow riders and the pair continued to abuse each other as they cantered to the birdcage. 9. While in the weighing room, the pair continued their disagreement. Jacobson told Mudhoo there was no room for him to shift in when racing to his outside down the back straight. 10. The discussion intensified and the pair came together face-to-face. 11. Stipendiary Steward, Mark Davidson, asked both riders to desist, but was ignored. Their language and demeanour became more heated, resulting in Mr Davidson stepping in and pushing them apart. To separate the pair, he directed Jacobson go to the Jockeys’ room and Mudhoo to the Stewards’ room. 12. The Stewards’ review of the race footage did not reveal any breaches of the rules by Mudhoo during the running of the race. 13. A veterinary examination of UGO revealed no injury caused by the strike. 14. When interviewed by Stewards, Jacobson admitted trotting up to Mudhoo, but denied it was intentional, stating that he was trying to stop his horse. He admitted that he “lost his cool” when Mudhoo “got in his face”. 15. When interviewed by Stewards, Mudhoo admitted to trying to hit Jacobson with his stick and accidentally striking the horse after Jacobson had ridden his horse into him. He stated that he lost his temper and went on with it in the weighing room. Conclusion 16. The RIB investigation also concludes that Mudhoo has misconducted himself by attempting to strike Jacobson with his whip, unintentionally connecting with his horse’s head and then continuing the conflict aggressively in the weighing room. 17. Mudhoo has no previous NRI charges. THE VIDEO EVIDENCE: Video replays were shown to the hearing. One replay showed the field pulling up past the winning post after the race. Mr Jacobson’s mount could be seen at the back of the field, some distance behind the other runners, having been the first to pull up, Mr Irving said. On another replay, Mr Irving pointed out Mr Mudhoo’s mount, amongst runners, turning to return to the birdcage and Mr Jacbson approaching. He then showed Mr Jacobson deliberately riding up to Mr Mudhoo, and the nose of Mr Jacobson’s runner contact Mr Mudhoo’s midriff. Mr Mudhoo could be clearly seen to “shift sideways” from the impact. Mr Mudhoo’s reaction was not captured on a replay, but Mr Mudhoo demonstrated to the hearing how he reacted, and added that he missed Mr Jacobson, and struck Mr Jacobson’s mount on the head, he said. Mr Irving submitted that Mr Mudhoo’s reaction was a “normal human reaction”, to strike back. Mr Irving said that Mr Mudhoo was “pretty annoyed” at getting hit by Mr Jacobson’s horse. This was out of character for Mr Mudhoo, Stewards had confirmed to him. Mr Carston said likewise. PENALTY SUBMISSIONS OF INFORMANT Introduction 1. The Respondent, Ayush Mudhoo, is a Class B Licensed Jockey. He is 21 years old and is indentured to trainer Andrew Carston at Riccarton. He has held an Apprentice Licence since the 2023/24 season and has had 169 raceday rides in those three years. 2. He has admitted a charge of breaching Rule 800(1) – Misconduct, following an incident at the conclusion of Race 8 at the Otago RC meeting at Cromwell on 30 November 2025. Purpose of penalties 3. Penalties are designed to punish the offender for his/her wrongdoing. They are not meant to be retributive in the sense the punishment is disproportionate to the offence, but the offender must be met with a punishment. 4. In a racing context, it is extremely important that a penalty has the effect of deterring others from committing similar offences. 5. A penalty should also reflect the disapproval of the Committee for the type of offending in question. 6. The need to rehabilitate the offender should be considered. Principles of sentencing 7. The RIB Penalty Guide for misconduct breaches are “fact dependent”. Misconduct can take many forms and in assessing the level of seriousness of the misconduct, any physical violence must be considered as being at the higher end of the scale.

Roso gone too.
