Meet Title:
Winton HRC - 28 September 2017
Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:

MConway
Race Date:
2017/09/28
Race Number:
R 3
Decision:
As the respondent has admitted the breach, it is found to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Barclay is fined $300.
Facts:
Mr S Wallis lodged an information alleging Mr Barclay allowed BELMONT INVASION to strike the wheel of SCARLETT LANE causing the tyre to deflate and the horse to be pulled out of the race passing the 1800 metres in race 3, the Macca Lodge Trot.
Mr Barclay admitted the breach and signed the Statement by the Respondent on the information indicating this. He also wished not to be present at the hearing.
Mr Wallis, with the aid of the video footage, identified Mr Barclay in 5th place at the 1850 metres. Mr Barclay eased back to take cover and struck the sulky wheel of SCARLETT LANE. He further stated that Mr Barclay had only “marginally” struck the wheel, with the tyre deflating immediately. SCARLETT LANE was withdrawn from the race shortly thereafter. He said the respondent was “careless for a split second” and, had he waited an extra second, there would have been plenty of room for Mr Barclay.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Wallis stated that Mr Barclay was a busy Southland driver with 300 drives last season and 17 drives to date this season. Mr Barclay’s record was very good; there was nothing in the last 12 months on his record and Mr Barclay should be given credit for this.
Mr Wallis submitted a fine of around $300 would be appropriate.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Barclay has made a misjudgement when he has eased BELMONT INVASION and moved down on the track to take cover near the 1850 metres mark. In so doing, he has struck the sulky wheel of SCARLETT LANE.
We take a starting point of $500. The offending is towards the lower end of the scale. Personal mitigating factors are the respondent’s frank admission of the breach and his excellent record over the past 12 months.
