Meet Chair:

Race Date:
2011/08/06
Race Number:
R 5
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
After balancing all the above factors and placing emphasis on Mr Nolan’s excellent record and the breach was at the low end of the scale we impose a fine of $150.00.The committee advised Mr Nolan that any further breaches of this rule would result in an increased fine.
Charge:
Following race 5 the informant Mr J Oatham lodged an information pursuant to rule 638(3)(b).He alleged that Mr Nolan used his whip on TALE OF TERROR in an excessive manner.
Facts:
Mr Williamson demonstrated the video films and pointed out to the committee Mr Nolan striking his mount 14 times from the 500 metres until the final 200 metres. He said Mr Nolan failed to give his mount the required respite of 6 strides prior to the final 200 metres.
Mr Nolan when asked conceded that when Mr Oatham showed him the films he was not fully aware of the required respite needed prior to the last 200 metres.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham said Mr Nolan had never been charged before under this rule, which is a very good record. He said the long straight and heavy track may have contributed to the incident He submitted the breach was at the low end of the scale and a monetary penalty reflecting that would be appropriate.
Mr Nolan when asked for submissions had nothing to say.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions presented. Mitigating factors are Mr Nolan’s excellent record , his admission of the breach , we have assessed the breach to be at the lower end of the scale. The aggravating factor however was that Mr Nolan failed to give his mount the required respite prior to the final 200 metres.
