WAITAK (L Allpress) – Hampered at the start by inside runner. LICKETY SPLIT (C Grylls) – Hampered at the start by outside runner. Raced wide without cover throughout.

ANDALUS (M McNab) – Began awkwardly hampering LICKETY SPLIT. DYNASTIC (O Bosson) – Hampered at the start. Made the final bend awkwardly, briefly hampering LICKETY SPLIT. When questioned O Bosson was of the opinion there may be something amiss with DYNASTIC.

After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee dismissed the protest with the placing standing, 1st MAVEN BELLE and 2nd WOLVERINE. S Weatherley (MAVEN BELLE) - Admitted a charge of careless riding in that he allowed his mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of WOLVERINE, which was hampered near the 75 metres. After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of his licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing today, 2 April until the conclusion of racing on Thursday, 14 April, 8 national riding days.

holy ravioli Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 2 weeks suspension but placings stand...NZ racing 'will become the envy...of the world'-quote from long gone C.E.O from Pomgolia who didn't like racing,but loved driving his new Jaguar around Welly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Will be interesting to read the full judicial report of the hearing. Some points of "interest": Trackside was refused permission to have a camera in the hearing room. The reason was Covid-19 restrictions. Really? That doesn't make sense - was there more than 200 in the room? Why not set up a camera in the room and record remotely? Don't we need more transparency and dare I say it entertainment? Weatherley gets an 8 day suspension for careless riding allowing his mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of Wolverine. Aside from the fact that Maven Belle didn't give Weatherley many options if it was serious enough to give an 8 day suspension was it serious enough to reverse the placings? Would the suspension have happened in OZ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't seen the full reasons for the decision yet. The protest would have only lasted five minutes in OZ before being dismissed. That's assuming a Trainer would be bothered lodging one. Bergerson was chancing his luck at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shad Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Thought wolverine was abit unlucky to be fair, mainly because of the ground she lost prior to the turn, when she was squeezed up on the the rail, that length or so may have made all the difference, that's racing for you, always need that luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistake was made by Innes before that. He was on Maven Belle's back and he pulled Wolverine up and lost two lengths. Maven Belle jogged the next sectionals. Why did Innes do that? Best Seller/Joe Kamaruddin were leaning in on him at the time but the Lethal of old would have hunted up and held his position. I just sense that our Senior Jockeys are all getting a bit gun shy.

nod Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I suggest you measure the amount of ground W made up from the 150m to the 75m and apply the same rate to the final 75m and the answer would be different -she was certainly interfered with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assumes that Wolverine could keep up the rate I.e. hadn't come to the end of its run. Momentum wouldn't have been enough alone. Maven Belle kicked again.

holy ravioli Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Love to know the last time a protest went against NZ racing 'royalty'. I'haven't seen one in the last few years,so saying do not watch that many NZ races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only a long neck in the Jungle Magnate case. The rider didn't stop riding but the horse shied and slowed both times it was hit on the nose. Innes had stopped riding before the interference. Just as he did when he chose not to get on Maven Belles back early in the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
