I wasn't really looking at that for the reason you state, but the quarterly data above shows a significant injury rate increase (p<.05) year on year from sample sizes of 9000+ starters. For those whose minds are boggled by statistics, that means that there is less than 5% chance that the increase in injury rates is due to chance. From the data I have seen, I don't see how you could possibly argue that injury rates haven't worsened in the last two seasons let alone that they have improved. -

A person is reckless when he/she acts in a way where they are heedless of, or indifferent to, the danger or peril of the consequences of their actions. That is when there is disregard or indifference to the danger of the situation or for the consequences of one’s actions. I think that sums up the Hastings race when you consider Opie's experience as a rider. -

How or why some decisions are made by the New Zealand judiciary is a mystery to many. I know how the reckless and careless rules read. The incident at Hastings on Alby's horse, in my opinion, was nothing short of reckless. Much worse than Lance's Auckland Cup win. Both horses kept the race. Imagine if those two races were the yardstick. We'd see more dodgems out there. History shows there has been a lot less interference resulting in the winner being put out. I call it inconsistency. -

Victorian-based jockey Jason Maskiell celebrates with the trophy after guiding the Phil Cole-trained Smuggling to back to back wins in the $100,000 Pioneer Sprint (1200m) on Alice Springs Cup Day at Pioneer Park last May. Picture: Nikki Westover Photography) Racing Victoria (RV) Stewards have concluded their investigation into jockey Jason Maskiell’s ride aboard My Schieller Wood in the Insuremyfleet Maiden Plate over 1600m at Seymour on Friday, November 15, 2024. The $10 PlayUp hope finished 12th out of 13 starters, trailing the winner by 25.55 lengths. Following a thorough inquiry, the Stewards issued Maskiell with two charges, one under AR 129(1) and an alternative charge under AR 129(2). Both charges pertain to the horse’s handling during the race. Jason Mskiell’s Summary of Charges Charge 1 – AR 129(1): Failure to Ride on Merits The Stewards allege Maskiell did not ride My Schieller Wood to its full potential, citing the following incidents: 300m to 250m: Maskiell restrained the horse and failed to improve its position between Just Riff Raff and Vidocq, despite the opportunity to do so. 250m to 150m: He continued to restrain the horse, neglecting another opportunity to improve. Post-150m: After Frontline Action shifted out, Maskiell allegedly persisted in restraining the horse for the remainder of the race, failing to capitalise on available opportunities. These actions are alleged to have resulted in the horse not being ridden on its merits. Charge 2 – AR 129(2) (Alternative): Failure to Ensure Best Possible Outcome During the Race, Mr Maskiell failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that My Schieller Wood was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible place in the field, in that: a) From approaching the 300m until approximately the 250m, he restrained My Schieller Wood and failed to improve his mount’s position between Just Riff Raff and Vidocq where there was an opportunity, and it was reasonable and permissible to do so; and/or b) From approximately the 250m until approaching the 150m, he restrained My Schieller Wood and failed to improve his mount’s position where there was an opportunity, and it was reasonable and permissible to do so; and/or c) After Frontline Action shifted out in advance of his mount at approximately the 150m, he continued to restrain My Schieller Wood for the remainder of the race and failed to improve his mount’s position when there was an opportunity, and it was reasonable and permissible to do so. Mr Maskiell’s actions resulted in My Schieller Wood not being given the full opportunity to win or to obtain the best possible place in the field. The charges, classified as serious offences under the Rules of Racing, will be heard by the Victorian Racing Tribunal (VRT). A hearing date is yet to be determined. Under Section 50O of the Racing Act 1958, serious offences such as those under AR 129(1) and AR 129(2) must be adjudicated by the VRT. The Stewards cannot impose penalties in these cases. If found guilty, Maskiell could face sanctions under the Rules of Racing. No mandatory minimum penalty applies to these charges, leaving the tribunal with discretion in determining any potential penalty. The tribunal’s decision will set a precedent in the ongoing effort to uphold integrity in Victorian racing. Horse racing news View the full article
