R Taupo 19 August 2013 – R 4 (request for a ruling)
ID: JCA15581
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Taupo RC - 19 August 2013
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Race Date:
2013/08/19
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
Accordingly, I declared GOLD to be a non- starter.
In conclusion I ordered that dividends be paid in accordance with the decision.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 4, SHOWCASING 1200, an information was filed Requesting a Ruling pursuant to Rule 632. The Informant, Mr Coles alleged that GOLD was denied a fair start when her barrier gate was slow to open.
Rule 632 states: “If, in the opinion of the Judicial Committee, a horse which does not finish in the first three placings was prevented from taking an effective part in a race owing to the mechanical failure of starting stalls, or is denied a fair start and such occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of that horse (but not where the horse is slow away of its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Oatham demonstrated the incident on the head on film which showed that all the other barriers had opened and GOLD barrier was still closed. He said the films were perfectly clear that GOLD's barrier failed to function correctly.
Mr Bradley advised the Committee that his barrier did not open and GOLD had to force the barrier open. He added GOLD was denied a fair start.
Reasons for Decision:
The Committee carefully considered all the submissions presented. The films were very clear that GOLD was denied a fair start which cost her approximately 2 lengths. The films confirmed that GOLD's chances were materially prejudiced when her barrier had to be forced open.
