Meet Title:
Riverton RC - 22 April 2019

Meet Chair:
GHall

Meet Committee Member 1:
MConway

Race Date:
2019/04/22

Race Number:
R 10

Decision:

Mr Turner has admitted the breach. We thus find the breach is proved.

Penalty:

We impose a fine of $300.

Facts:

Following the running of Race 10, the AK SWANN SOUTHERN CONTRACTING & BLAIN ALLEN BUILDER MAIDEN, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr McLaughlin alleging that D Turner (BEAM ME UP SCOTTY) used his whip excessively prior to the 100 metres.

Mr Davidson, Stipendiary Steward, demonstrated on the videos that the respondent used his whip 8 times on his mount without the necessary respite. There were some breaks but not for the required five strides.

Mr McLaughlin agreed with the Committee that the strikes were not rapid fire.

Mr Turner accepted that the count was correct.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr McLaughlin produced Mr Turner’s record which was clear over the past 12 months.

Reasons for Penalty:

We believe that the breach is low-range. The Penalty Guide provides for a fine of $300 where there are no previous breaches of the whip rule in the past 12 months.
