Mr Malcolmson did not contest the protest rule 870 (4) (A) and was not present at the hearing.
Rule 870 (4)(a) reads:
Any horse which breaks from its gait in any race and which fails to promptly regain its proper gait may (in addition to any other penalty imposed pursuant to r 1003 hereof) subject to the provisions of the Breaking Horse Regulations made by the Board, be placed by the Judicial Committee immediately after any other horse in respect of which any advantage may have be gained.
The breaking horse regulations provide in part:
For the avoidance of doubt and in order to clarify the situation for all parties concerned, the following shall apply with regard to breaking horses:
(a) Any horse which breaks from its gait either at the start or during the running of any race and continues on in the break for a distance of 150 metres or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of Rule 870 (3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its proper gait,
Where a protest has been duly lodged against the placing of an offending horse, the Judicial Committee shall either:
(i) relegate such horse under Rule 870 (4) to behind any other horse in respect of which an advantage may have been gained; or
(ii) disqualify it from the race under rule 1003 (2)
