Hearing

Thoroughbred

Meet Title:
Kurow JC - 30 December 2010

Meet Chair:
Ghall

Meet Committee Member 1:
JEagles

Race Date:
2010/12/30

Race Number:
R 1

Decision:

Mr Kennedy had admitted the breach which we thus find proved.

Penalty:

Mr Kennedy is fined the sum of $200.

Charge:

Mr McLaughlin, stipendiary steward, alleged that Mr S Kennedy the trainer of CAVORTS in race 1 had failed to scratch that horse by the required time.

Facts:

Mr Kennedy rang Mr McLaughlin at 8 am today to say that he had forgotten to scratch CAVORTS from race 1. Mr Kennedy indicated he was in Timaru and thus had insufficient time to return to the stable at Riccarton and get CAVORTS by the start time of the 1st race.

There were horses balloted out in race 1 and thus a horse had been denied a start due to the defendant’s actions.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr McLaughlin stated that Mr Kennedy had been called to Blenheim at short notice due to a family illness.

He produced the defendant’s record, which was clear under this rule. He submitted a fine in the range of $200 to $300 was appropriate.

Reasons for Penalty:

We accept the defendant has simply forgotten to scratch CAVORTS. His record is excellent. Balancing the mitigating factor of a family illness against the aggravating factor that another horse was denied a start, we believe a penalty at the bottom of the range identified by Mr McLaughlin is appropriate.
