Meet Committee Member 1:

Race Date:
2013/02/08
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
Charge admitted and is therefore proved.

Charge:
Horseman Mr M McKendry drove Meander with Pegasus carelessly causing his own horse to break with 600 metres to run.
Facts:
Mr Muirhead lodged an information charging Mr McKendry with driving Meander With Pegasus carelessly in Race 1.
Mr McKendry appeared for the hearing and admitted the charge.
Mr Muirhead using available video footage identified Mr McKendry driving Meander With Pegasus in the trail with about 600 metres to run.
He moved his horse to avoid the slowing leader (Boronova) and in doing so came into contact with Letz Hope on his outside. This resulted in Meander With Pegasus breaking and losing all chance.
Mr McKendry agreed with the summary of events and added that his horse had a bad tendency to run about and that in hindsight he should have made his move earlier.
Submissions for Decision:
Admitted.
Reasons for Decision:
Admitted charge established.
Submissions for Penalty:

Reasons for Penalty:
In arriving at an appropriate penalty the committee considered the submissions. They found the breach was at the lower end and took into account penalties for previous similar breaches. Mr McKendry enjoys an outstanding driving record and had admitted the breach. There were no aggravating features.
