KATHELYNN

RE : OBJECTION IN RACE NO.44 – THE MAYOR'S TROPHY RUN ON 7^TH AUGUST, 2011 – JOCKEY C.RAJENDRA, RIDER OF "MARAUDER" – CARELESS RIDING ON HIS MOUNT :

The Stewards at their meeting held on Sunday, 14^th August, 2011 interviewed Jockey C.Rajendra in the above connection. The Stewards having considered all the submissions made by Jockey C.Rajendra and viewing the video recording of the race, were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him in the subject case and held him guilty of careless riding on his mount MARAUDER in the above race. In that, at about 200 metres, he used the whip with the left hand and shifted in thereby taking the ground of KATHELYNN (C.Alford) who had to stop riding at a crucial stage of the race and pull his mount out and Jockey C.Rajendra made no effort to correct his mount. However, considering that this was his first offence of careless riding during the current Pune Meeting, the Stewards took a lenient view in the matter and decided to suspend his Jockey's license for 3^rd September, 2011 (permitted to ride work/mock race).

 

ALL THIS IS OK BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MONEY OF PEOPLE WHO INVESTED IN KATHELYNN. THE PEOPLE INVOLVED MAY HAVE GAMBLED "MARAUDER" AND SO THE RESULT WAS UNCHANGED.

THE SYSTEM STINKS. WE NEED ANNA' HAZARE HERE TOO
