ID: JCA14617

Stipend Steward:
Mr J Oatham

Hearing Type:
Request Ruling

Rules:
632

Code:
Thoroughbred

Meet Title:
Racing Matamata - 2 December 2010

Meet Chair:
BRowe

Meet Committee Member 1:
AGodsalve

Race Date:
2010/12/02

Race Number:
R 1

Decision:

Accordingly PETER COLADA is declared a non-starter.

Facts:

Request for a ruling that PETER COLADA be declared a non-starter because it was denied a fair start.

Submissions for Decision:

Mr Oatham showed the video films of the start of the race. PETER COLADA started from barrier position five in a field of sixteen. When the field was released, the barrier gates on the stall of PETER COLADA opened but as the horse moved forward the inside gate flew back to the closed position striking PETER COLADA on the head and delaying the exit of the horse from the stall. As a result PETER COLADA was forced to settle at the tail of the field and from that point on never got into the race.

Reasons for Decision:

The video films provided clear evidence that PETER COLADA was denied a fair start and that such occurrence materially prejudiced its chances.
