Steward Comment

Jockey S Sheargold pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of AR131(a) in that he allowed his mount Lily Allez (NZ) to shift out under hard riding over the final 200 metres checking Sirianni. Jockey S Sheargold’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 8 days to commence midnight 29 January 2022 and expire midnight 6 February 2022 (8 days). In assessing penalty, Stewards considered Jockey Sheargold’s good riding record in relation to the rule.

Steward Comment

Correct weight was delayed when the third placegetter, Jockey L Morrison (SIRIANNI) requested to view the patrol films to ascertain whether he had grounds to lodge a protest against the first placegetter Lily Allez (NZ) (S. Sheargold) After viewing the stewards patrol films jockey L Morrison advised that she did not wish to proceed with the protest.

Shifted out to improve at the 300 metres and bumped Boomalina (A. Layt) placing that mare off balance. Over the concluding stages Glorious Express continued to shift ground outwards hampering Boomalina and again made heavy contact at the 120 metres. Stewards intend to question jockey’s R Wiggins and A Layt in relation to this matter at a time and date to be fixed.
