ID: JCA13662
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Banks Peninsula RC - 4 February 2013
Meet Chair:
JPhelan
Meet Committee Member 1:
SChing
Race Date:
2013/02/04
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
The parties were advised that “Raggio Speranza” was declared to be a non-starter. As this horse did not finish in a dividend or stake bearing place no amendment to the placings was required.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, the Cargoking.co.nz Maiden, an information requesting a ruling was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr M. Zarb as to whether “Raggio Speranza” (11) should be declared a non-starter.
The information reads as follows:
“I the above named informant seek a ruling in relation to Rule 632 from the Judicial Committee (as to whether) No. 11 – Raggio Speranza denied a fair start as its barrier gate was slow to open”.
Rule 632 reads as follows:
“If, in the opinion of the Judicial Committee, a horse which does not finish in the first three placings was prevented from taking an effective part in a race owing to the mechanical failure of starting stalls, or is denied a fair start and such occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of that horse (but not where the horse is slow away of its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Zarb gave evidence and used video coverage to show that gate two was slow to open in this race. The side on video showed that “Raggio Speranza” lost 3 – 4 lengths at the start as a result of this incident.
Reasons for Decision:
It was clear from the evidence that “Raggio Speranza” was prevented from taking an effective part in this race because of the mechanical failure of starting stalls. We were therefore satisfied that this horse should be declared a non-starter.
