ID: JCA12576
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Racing Matamata - 29 July 2011
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
GTankard
Race Date:
2011/07/29
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
Taking all the above into account we impose a fine of $150.
Charge:
Excessive whip use.
Facts:
Following race 4 an information was filed pursuant to rule 638(3)(b). The informant Mr Williamson alleged that Mr D Mo used his whip excessively on his mount CHLOE KEEPER.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Williamson demonstrated the video films which clearly showed Mr Mo, riding CHLOE KEEPER, strike his mount approximately 13 times before the 200 metre mark. Mr Williamson said this was clearly outside the whip guide lines and Mr Mo failed to give his mount the required respite. Mr Williamson also said it was obvious that CHLOE KEEPER was not responding to the whip but Mr Mo continued striking his mount.
Mr Mo said he was told the horse was lazy and he should ride it vigorously.
Mr O'Neill on behalf of Mr Mo said he had spoken to the trainer of CHLOE KEEPER who confirmed the horse was lazy and that she had instructed Mr Mo to try and go forward at the 600 metres. However he admitted Mr Mo had taken these instructions too far.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson said this was Mr Mo's first charge. However on this occasion was well outside the whip guidelines and had continued using the whip when his mount was well beaten. He submitted a fine would be appropriate which should be at the low end.
Mr Mo and Mr O'Neill had nothing to say regarding penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions. Mitigating factors are Mr Mo's admission of the breach and this is his first charge. However he was clearly in excess of the whip guidelines and as was explained to him the continued use of his whip when his mount was not responding is not acceptable.
