Manawatu HRC 13 February 2018 – R 10 – Chair, Mr T Utikere
ID: JCA16489
Meet Title:
Manawatu HRC - 13 February 2018
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Race Date:
2018/02/13
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the Committee deemed the charge proved.
Penalty:
Mr Dickson is fined $200.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 10 (Silvester Clark Mobile Pace 2000m) Information A2346 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It alleged a breach of Rule 869(2) and alleged that Mr Dickson "used his whip excessively driving MARSHAL STAR over the final 400 metres". Mr Dickson signed the Information acknowledging that he admitted the breach. He also endorsed the Information indicating that he did not wish to attend the hearing.
Rule 869 states: "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."
Using the side-on film Mr Muirhead identified MARSHAL STAR racing in second place, and was positioned to the outside of the leading horse as the field turned for home. From that point he was observed to use his whip on 13 occasions.
Submissions for Penalty:
It was identified that Mr Dickson had a clear record under this rule and the stipendiary stewards submitted a $200 fine as appropriate. Mr Dickson was not present to make any submissions to the contrary.
Reasons for Penalty:
It is clear from the films that Mr Dickson used his whip 13 times over the concluding 400 metres of the race. This number is outside the number permitted under the Use of Whip Regulations. While the Committee notes the Respondent's early admission and that this is his first breach of the rule, it considers a fine as identified in the Regulation's sliding scale as appropriate.
