SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS
From Cunnamulla 18-08-09
Stewards today concluded an inquiry into jockey R Tilley’s riding of MIDORI LAD over the concluding stages of Race 4 – Murrawondah Coban Poll & Merino Stud Class 4 H’Cap 1200m. After submitting evidence and viewing the Stewards patrol films Jockey Tilley pleaded guilty to a charge under Ar137(b) in that as the rider of MIDORI LAD he did fail to ride his mount out to the end of the race. Jockey Tilley’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period commencing midnight 3-10-09 to expire midnight 16-10-09. In considering penalty Stewards were of the belief that jockey Tilley’s actions cost his mount 2nd position.
As C Bryen was indisposed rider changes were made as per the Stewards Summary. C Bryen was advised that he would be required to obtain a Medical Certificate prior to riding again.

Near the 700m, TWO SHINKO’S (A Hozack) commenced to hang out and away from SHE’S ALL GREEK (R Tilley) which shifted out slightly. As a result NORTHERN MAN (B Thomson) which was racing to the outside of TWO SHINKO’S was severely crowded for room and forced to check. Whilst Stewards acknowledged that TWO SHINKO’S was hanging out App. A HOZACK was advised to exercise more care and to take greater effort to prevent her horse from shifting ground when in similar circumstances in the future.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of SHE’S ALL GREEK jockey R Tilley advised that the mare was inclined to hang out for the majority of the event after being unable to hold the lead.

Stewards opened an inquiry into the reasons why jockey R Tilley was dislodged as the rider of BREAD’N’WATER near the 700m. After taking evidence from all riders and viewing the patrol films Stewards found that near the 700m, BREAD’AND’WATER shied away from JE SUIS ROCKSTAR (D Monaghan) which improved to that gelding’s inside. As a result of shifting out abruptly, BREAD’N’WATER blundered after clipping the heels of GO ON GREG (S Stanbridge) dislodging R Tilley. As Stewards ruled that no rider was responsible for this incident no further action was taken.
