Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Taranaki RC - 26 March 2021
Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Race Date:
2021/03/26
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As the charge was admitted together with film evidence the charge was proved.
Penalty:
Mr Diego Montes de Oca was fined $300 and advised that if he was to face a similar charge in the near future, he may receive a more significant penalty.
Facts:
Following Race 7 (Weatherley Bloodstock Mdn) Information A14138 was filed with the Judicial Committee. The Informant alleged that Mr Diego Montes de Oca used his whip excessively in the home straight.
Mr Montes de Oca said that he understood the Rule, Charge and confirmed that he admitted the breach. He was assisted by Ms Clapperton who was present for the entirety of the hearing.
Mr Jones showed the film replays and said that Mr Montes de Oca hit his horse twice consecutively early in the run home and then further on down the straight used the whip above his shoulder height on 4 occasions.
Mr Monte de Oca and Ms Clapperton agreed with the Stipendiary Steward's interpretation of the whip use.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Jones said that this was the first breach in 6 months (reset period) for Mr Montes de Oca however he said that he had been spoken to earlier in the day about his whip use when riding another horse.
Ms Clapperton confirmed that he had been spoken to early in the day and said that he needs to work very hard on changing his whip style. Mr Montes de Oca did not comment.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Montes de Oca’s whip style was entirely inappropriate, as by lifting his whip arm above shoulder height can result in significant more force being applied to the animal. As this was his first charge in 6 months, the JCA Penalty Starting Point of a $300 Fine was considered to be the appropriate penalty.
