Mr G Noakes, the trainer/driver of GEORGE and representing that horses connections noted the Information to the effect that :
(a) He did not wish to be present at the hearing, and
(b) He did not contest the protest.
Rule 870(3) states 'Any horse which breaks from its gait shall promptly regain its proper gait'.
The Breaking Horse Regulations (b) provide that 'Any horse which breaks from its gait within the final 200 metres of any race and continues on in a break for a distance of 50 metres or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of Rule 870(3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its proper gait'.
Submissions for Decision:
Using the films Mr Muirhead identified the horse GEORGE as it neared the 150 metres marker in the final straight. Just past that marker GEORGE went off-stride and galloped wildly until the finish. The horse finished in 5th place. Mr Muirhead submitted that the horse should accordingly be disqualified from the race.
Reasons for Decision:
The Protest was uncontested. The Committee were satisfied after viewing the films that the horse had breached the relevant Rule and Regulations.
