Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Rangitikei RC - 25 November 2017
Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Meet Committee Member 1:
TCastles
Race Date:
2017/11/25
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
Due to the charge being admitted it was deemed to be proved by the Committee.
Penalty:
Mr O’Malley was fined $200.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 7 (Harris Contracting McVerry Crawford Handicap), Information No A8792 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It was alleged by the Informant that Mr O’Malley the rider of CONSTANT BARRAGE weighed in 1kg over his weigh-out weight.
Rule 648(5) provides:
If the rider of a horse weighs in at a weight of 0.5kg or more in excess of that at which he weighed out: (a) that rider; and (b) any other person who a tribunal conducting an enquiry finds was at fault, commits a breach of these Rules.
Mr O’Malley acknowledged that he understood the Rule, the charge and advised the Committee that he admitted the breach.
Mr Goodwin said that on weighing in Mr O’Malley was 1kg over his weigh-out weight. He said that the weigh-out weight was 55.9kg with the weigh-in weight being 56.9kg.
Mr O’Malley agreed with the weight difference and in explanation said that he had had bad cramp in his hands and legs (due to wasting) and needed a drink to ease the problem.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Goodwin submitted that a fine be imposed.
Neither Mr O’Malley nor Mr Wallace had any comment to make regarding penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
It was clear to the Committee that Mr O’Malley had weighed in 1kg over his weight-out weight. The Committee had sympathy for Mr O’Malley as wasting can bring on bouts of cramp due to dehydration. However it is a Jockey’s responsibility under the Rules to ensure that their weight on weighing in corresponds with their weigh-out weight.
The JCA starting point for a breach of Rule 648(5) is a fine of $200. After taking all relevant matters into consideration the starting point was deemed to be an appropriate penalty.
