RE: RACE NO.134: THE FOURTH ESTATE CUP – RUN ON 6TH NOVEMBER 2022.

 

On a report from the Stipendiary Stewards that in race no.134 The Fourth Estate Cup, run on 6th November 2022, Jockey K. Nazil (ARABIAN PHOENIX, dr.3) had shifted out soon after the start thereby tightening MULTISTARRER (S. Saqlain, dr.4) on his outside causing the latter to clip and stumble which resulted in the rider being dislodged. On being questioned by the Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on 27th November 2022, Jockey K. Nazil was apologetic for the incident and attributed the interference to the bend that came immediately after the start also explained that he had carried the whip in his left hand and had done his best to avoid the accident.

 

Race no.134 was viewed and it was pointed out to Jockey K. Nazil that he had made no effort to correct his mount and/or keep a straight course, which resulted in the accident due to which the rider had fallen.

 

Having heard the submissions and after watching the video of the race in question the Stewards of the Club held Jockey K. Nazil guilty of dangerous riding for the above incident.

 

In view of the above, Jockey K. Nazil was informed that his Jockeys licence has been suspended for 4 race days i.e. on 18th & 25th December 2022, 6th & 15th January 2023, for dangerous riding.
