ID: JCA11828
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
South Canterbury RC - 11 April 2013
Meet Chair:
KHales
Meet Committee Member 1:
JPhelan
Race Date:
2013/04/11
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
Accordingly, both “Treviso” and “La vie Onze” were declared non-starters.
Facts:
“La Vie Onze” and “Treviso” were both subjected to slow opening gates and that these runners be declared non-runners.
RULE 632:
“If in the opinion of the Judicial Committee, a horse which does not finish in the first three placings was prevented from taking an effective part in a Race owing to the mechanical failure of starting stalls, or is denied a fair start and such occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of that horse (but not where that horse is slow away by its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr McLaughlin presented the Stipendiary Stewards’ case. He showed the head-on video coverage of the start from it could clearly be observed that “Treviso”(gate 4) and “La Vie Onze” (gate 3) were slow away as a result of the gates to the stalls not opening in synchronization with the remainder of the gates of the starting stalls. Neither horse finished in the first 3 placings. Mr Doherty said that his horse is normally a good starter and Mr Johnson said that there was no doubt in his mind that his mount was prejudiced.
Reasons for Decision:
The committee made the following findings:
• Neither horse finished in the first three placings;
• There was a mechanical failure of the starting stalls;
• Both horses were denied a fair start;
• The occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of both horses in the race.
