Mr McNeill confirmed that he admitted the breach and understood the Rule and the Whip Guidelines.

Stipendiary Steward Mr Jones showed the film replays and said that Mr McNeill used the whip 10 times prior to the 100m without giving the required respite.

Mr McNeill said that it was obvious what had happened but that he did not do it intentionally.

The JCA Penalty Guideline for a first breach of the Rule is for a fine of $300. Taking all matters into consideration it was determined that there was no reason to depart from that figure.
