Meet Title:

Meet Chair:
KHales
Meet Committee Member 1:
JPhelan
Race Date:
2013/04/11
Race Number:
R 6
Decision:
Accordingly, “Yazoom was declared a non-starter.
Facts:
“The gate of “Yazoom” was slow to open placing it at a significant disadvantage.
We request that this runner be declared a non-runner”.
RULE 632:
“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 that horse is slow away by its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr McLaughlin presented the Stipendiary Stewards’ case. He showed the head-on video coverage of the start from which it could clearly be observed that “Yazoom” (gate 3) was slow away as a result of the gate to the stall not opening in synchronization with the remainder of the gates of the starting stalls. “Yazoom” did not finish in the first 3 placings. Ms Payne, the Starter produced a broken rubber strand to the hearing which was the cause of the gate not opening. Mr Prastiyou said that his horse had to force its way out.
Reasons for Decision:
The committee made the following findings:
• “Yazoom” did not finish in the first three placings;
• There was a mechanical failure of the starting stalls;
• The horse was denied a fair start;
• The occurrence materially prejudiced the chances the horse in the race.
