Facts:
Following the running of race 3, the Southland Farm Machinery Ltd Mobile Trot, a Protest Information was lodged by Stipendiary Steward, Mr Tidmarsh alleging LITTLE ROCKET broke in excess of 50 metres in the final 200 metres. He was seeking the disqualification of LITTLE ROCKET under rr 870(3) and 1003(2).
Rule 870(3) reads: that any horse which breaks from its gait shall promptly retain its gait.
The Breaking Horse Regulations part (b) reads: that any horse that breaks from its gait within the final 200 metres and continues on in the break for a distance of 50 metres or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of r 870(3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its proper gait.
Rule 1003(2) reads: Every horse which commits a breach of any Rule shall be liable for the following penalties: (a) to be disqualified … from any race.
The official placings were:
(1) EAGLE GALLEON - 1st
(3) I’LDOITMYWAY - 2nd
(7) SUGAR CANE - 3rd
(10) LITTLE ROCKET - 4th
(9) TAKENOPRISONERS - 5th.
Submissions for Decision:
With the aid of the videos Mr Tidmarsh demonstrated that LITTLE ROCKET driven by Mr Barclay was leading the race. The horse, when free of interference, went into a gallop 140 metres from the finishing line and continued galloping for over 60 metres. The horse regained its gait and finished 4th. He was seeking the disqualification of the horse.
Mr Barclay signed the information and indicated he did not contest the protest.
Reasons for Decision:
After viewing the video the Committee was satisfied that LITTLE ROCKET was in breach of r 870(3) in that it failed to regain it proper gait promptly and had galloped in excess of 50 metres. As the horse had gained an advantage over the rest of the field it was disqualified from 4th placing pursuant to r 1003(2).
