Submissions for Decision:
Mr. Muirhead went immediately to the video of the final bend of race 7 and identified for the committee Mr. Stormont three deep on the running line. In front of him was Mr. Z Butcher and in the front leading the field was Mr. T Mitchell. Mr Mitchell then ran clear of the field, and the chasing two were Garndor (Z Butcher) and La Norvic De Milo (J Stormont). These two then locked wheels and Mr. Stormont could not progress forward. Mr Muirhead informed the committee of the right of the person to take the passing lane, and at this point in the race Mr. Butcher whilst using the whip elects to follow Mr. Mitchell and does not take the passing lane but Mr. Stormont does. The head on film was then shown where it was clear that Garndor moves inwards and takes the line of La Norvic DeMilo who runs into a couple of pylons.
At this point of the hearing Mr. D Butcher informed the committee that their party did not wish to contest the protest.
Reasons for Decision:
Mr. D Butcher was asked by the committee to confirm his comments to which Mr. D Butcher repeated on behalf of Mr. Scaife they would not contest the protest.
