SALATEEN (GB) - (P Dobbs): Tightened for room on jumping. Approaching the 1200 metres bumped heavily with another runner on several occasions.

Rider reported that after the horse received a heavy bump approaching the 300 metres he did not persist on riding ENCIPHER (USA) out, as he was unaware if the horse had gone amiss. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. General: Jockey J Crowley (GHAAMER (USA)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), the careless riding being that approaching the 1200 metres he permitted his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of SALATEEN (GB)(P Dobbs), resulting in that horse being taken inwards and bumping heavily on several occasions with AMERICAN HOPE (USA)(C Soumillon), which became unbalanced. J Crowley had his licence to ride in races suspended for 2 race meetings (14.01.2017 Meydan & 15.01.2017 Abu Dhabi). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account J Crowley’s guilty plea, good careless riding record in the UAE and deemed the interference to be in the mid-range. As a result of this interference, SHAISHEE (USA)(F Jara) had to be restrained off heels and shifted out bumping the hindquarter of ANAEROBIO (ARG)(B Fayd’Herbe) and BANAADEER (AUS)(D O’Neill) having to be restrained when racing close to heels. Jockey M Rodd (ELITE EXCALIBUR (AUS)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), the careless riding being that approaching the 300 metres he shifted out and bumped heavily with RENE MATHIS (GER)(T Eaves), which was taken out and bumped heavily with the hindquarter of ENCIPHER (USA)(T O’Shea). M Rodd had his licence to ride in races suspended for 2 race meetings, to commence following his suspension incurred at the Singapore Turf Club (19.01.2017 Meydan & 20.01.2017 Jebel Ali). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account M Rodd’s guilty plea, good careless riding record in the UAE and deemed the interference to be in the mid-range. Jockey M Barzalona (MUTAWATHEA (GB)) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of ERA Rule 69(i), the careless riding being that passing the 300 metres he permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of AMERICAN HOPE (USA)(C Soumillon), resulting in that gelding being tightened for room and having to be restrained.
