오늘은 Canterbury Racecourse에서 경마가 있는날
경마 시작전에 Racing Academy에 들렸더니 오늘 내 얘기를 Racing NSW Magazine에 기사를 쓴다고 한다.
나같은 외국인이 Steward 과정을 밟으러 온게 여기서도 신기한다보다. 사진도 찍고 인터뷰도 했다.
1경주에서는 경주 중 안장이 뒤로 밀린 사안이 발생하였다. 여기서는 안장이 밀린 것에 대해 특별히 소홀함이 발견되지 않으면 제재처분을 하지 않는다.
경쟁성이 높은 경마환경이어서 안장이 변위된 것에 대해 특별한 제재처분을 하지 않는 것 같다.
N Rawiller reported that the saddle commenced to slip back on The Shooter approaching the 600m and from that point on he was placed at a disadvantage in riding the gelding out to the finish.
아래는 안장변위가 있을때 작성하는 리포트 양식이다. 안장변위가 일어나지 않기 위해 사안별로 정리를 해 두는 것 같다.
2경주에서는 결승선 통과직전 추진동작을 소홀히 해 3위로 도착한 기수에게 기승정지 처분 3주를 한 심의가 있었다.
App. M McGuren pleaded guilty to a charge under AR137(b) for having failed to ride out third placegetter, Southern Shimmer, to the winning post. After considering matters in relation to penalty, including his inexperience and good record, App. McGuren’s permit to ride in races was suspended for period of three weeks to commence on Sunday, 9 September 2012 and to expire on Sunday, 30 September 2012, on which day he may ride.
4경주에서는 후검량에서 3위로 도착한 기수의 후검량이 800g 부족한 상황이 발생하였다. 장구는 특별하게 바뀐 것이 없었고 기수의 진술에 따르면 3경주에서 전검량하고
바로 4경주 전검량을 했으며 3경주 중량이 4경주보다 1kg 부족하다는 것을 확인하였다. 여기 호주에서는 검량시 체중계에 올라가 기수와 검량위원이 서로 중량을 확인
하게 되어있다. 아마도 전검량시 부족한 중량을 검량위원과 기수가 실수로 재고 경주에 출전한 것 같았다. 여기서는 500g이 초과해서 부족할 때는 실격을 하도록
규정상 되어 있다. 그래서 그 마필은 실격이 되었고 기수는 2주 기승정지 처분을 당했으며 해당 검량위원은 클럽에 리포트가 제출되게 되었다.
Correct weight was delayed when J McDonald, rider of third placegetter, Charge Account, was found to have weighed in 800 grams underweight on the gelding. The Stewards opened an inquiry and interviewed J McDonald, trainer Mr J O'Shea and Clerk of Scales Mr N Cuthbert, as well as his assistant Ms R Fowler. It was established that, whilst Charge Account had carried a breastplate and girth cover, it had been included in the gear in the weigh. J McDonald gave evidence that he had hurriedly weighed out for Charge Account in the same gear that he had used in the previous race when he rode Spurs And Sashes, which carried one kilo less than Charge Account in this race. Acting under the provisions of AR143(a), the Stewards disqualified Charge Account for carrying less weight than the weight it should have carried and amended the placings to:
1st King Cobia
2nd Complicate
3rd Tralfaz
4th Furious Jet
At a subsequent inquiry J McDonald pleaded guilty to a charge under AR143(b) in that as the rider of Charge Account he was at fault for that gelding carrying less than the weight it should have carried, resulting in its disqualification. J McDonald was suspended for a period to commence on Sunday, 8 September 2012 and to expire on Sunday, 23 September 2012, on which day he may ride. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into account J McDonald’s guilty plea and also that he would be missing two Saturdays involving Group 1 races.
5경주에서도 후검량이 전검량보다 부족한 상황이 발생하였다. 이번에는 300g이 부족해서 실격은 되지 않았지만 기수에게 책임을 물어 300달러의 과태금을 부과하였다.
N Rawiller, rider of Daymo, was found guilty of a charge under AR143(b) of having weighed in 300 grams underweight. N Rawiller was fined $300.
후검량에 대한 호주 규정은 아래와 같다.
AR 143. If a horse carries less weight than the weight it should carry -
(a) it shall be disqualified for the race, provided that a rider shall be allowed by the Clerk of
the Scales a half kilogram for the weight of his bridle. [amended 1.10. 2007]
(b) notwithstanding paragraph (a), the rider and/or any other person at fault may be penalised.
