Facts:
Following the running of Race 8 an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr Renault alleging a breach of Rule 869(2) by Junior Driver Miss K Tomlinson. The information alleged, You used your whip on more occasions than permitted by Clause (b) of the Use Of Whip Regulations.
Miss Tomlinson signed the information admitting the breach and stated she understood the Rule.
Rule 869 provides as follows:

The Use of Whip Regulation (effective from 30 November 2017) provide:
(b) No horseman is permitted to use their whip in a striking motion on more than ten occasions inside the final 400 metres. This is inclusive of “backhanders” and the use applies to the horse, harness and/or sulky.

The JCA Penalty Guide provides a sliding scale starting point of a $200 fine for a breach involving 11 strikes mitigation inclusive.
There are no aggravating factors to warrant an uplift from this starting point.
