Charge:
Alleged breach of Rule 869(2)(a)
Facts:
Following the running of Race 2, the Magpies Rest Café “Vivace Coffee” Mobile Pace , an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr N. M. Ydgren against Open Horseman Ms P. J. Wakelin alleging a breach of Rule 869(2)(a) in that she used her whip in an unnecessary manner.
The charge reads as follows.
“I the above named informant allege that the above named Defendant committed a breach of Rule 869(2)(a) in that Horsewoman P. Wakelin used her whip in an unnecessary manner while driving “The Velvet Rainbow”.
Rule 869(2)(a) reads as follows.
“(2) No horseman shall during any race:-
(a) use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.”
Submissions for Decision:
Ms Wakelin had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted, and she also agreed that she understood the charge and the Rule it was brought under.
Mr Ydgren gave evidence and used video coverage to show that Ms Wakelin’s horse was a beaten runner well before the home bend, and that she used her whip on several occasions when it was clearly not necessary.
Ms Wakelin explained that her horse was having its first start and that she didn’t want it to stop altogether as it may have affected its later racing manners.
Reasons for Decision:
As Ms Wakelin had admitted this breach of the Rules it was found to be proved in accordance with Rule 1111(1)(d).
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty Mr Ydgren advised that Ms Wakelin had no relevant previous convictions, and had admitted this breach of the Rules. He submitted that a fine of $200-00 should be imposed in this case.
Ms Wakelin submitted that she thought the fine was a bit much.
Reasons for Penalty:
We were satisfied, in line with previous penalties imposed for similar breaches of this Rule, and after hearing submissions, that a fine of $200-00 was an appropriate penalty in this case.
