Meet Title:
Invercargill HRC - 4 May 2019
Meet Chair:
GHall
Meet Committee Member 1:
DAnderson
Race Date:
2019/05/04
Race Number:
R 6
Decision:
As Mr Larsen has admitted the breach, the breach is found to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Larsen is fined the sum of $300.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, the Neville Cleaver Fishing Mobile Pace, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr Wallis, alleging that Mr Larsen, the driver of THE WHITE RABBIT, used his whip on more occasions than is permitted by the Use of the Whip Regulations.
Rule 869 provides as follows:
(2) No horseman shall during any race use a whip in a manner in contravention of the Use of the Whip Regulations made by the Board.
The Use of the Whip Regulations 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.
Mr Larsen admitted the breach and signed the information stating he did not wish to be present at the hearing.
Mr Wallis demonstrated on the race films that the respondent, who was racing in the trail, shifted outwards at the 400 metres before making a run to the inside of BUNTER’S DREAM. Mr Larsen used his whip 15 times.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Wallis produced Mr Larsen’s record. Mr Larsen drives primarily his own team. He has had 64 drives this season, and 124 last season. His record is clear under the whip rule.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Larsen has used the whip on THE WHITE RABBIT 15 times from the 400 metres. The breach is thus mid-range (14 to 16 strikes). Whilst there were some pauses, many of the strikes were quite forceful.
Mr Larsen’s record is clear under this rule. The Penalty Guide provides a penalty of $300 for a first mid-range breach.
