Kumara RC 8 January 2011 – R 8 (request for a ruling)
ID: JCA13722
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Kumara RC - 8 January 2011
Meet Chair:
RMcKenzie
Meet Committee Member 1:
KHales
Race Date:
2011/01/08
Race Number:
R 8
Decision:
Mr Pitman’s application for leave to withdraw the request for a ruling was granted.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 8, Anthony Shearer Limited Prime Melamine Sprint, an information requesting a ruling was filed by Licensed Trainer, Mr M R Pitman, pursuant to Rule 632, “to determine whether TRADEMARK (B Moore) received a fair start”.
Rule 632 provides 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 by its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.
TRADEMARK finished in 11th placing.
Submissions for Decision:
Miss Moore explained that, prior to the start; her horse had been getting its head down and turning it to the side. She had called for assistance from a starter’s assistant. The assistant had climbed on the side of the gate and was about to help her when the gates opened. The horse’s head was turned, but the starter’s assistant did not have a hold of it, Miss Moore said.
A head-on video replay of the start was shown. TRADEMARK had drawn at barrier No. 1 in the twelve-horse field at the 1150 metres starting point. Mr Pitman accepted, after viewing the video replay that the horse had its head round, that it was not being held by the starter’s assistant and that it was not denied a fair start.
Mr Pitman then sought the leave of the Committee to withdraw the request for a ruling.
Reasons for Decision:
The Committee was satisfied that TRADEMARK was not denied a fair start but was, clearly, slow away of its own accord. It was therefore not appropriate to declare the horse a non-starter.
