ID: JCA16539
Meet Title:
Auckland TC - 18 March 2011
Meet Chair:
BRowe
Meet Committee Member 1:
JHolloway
Race Date:
2011/03/18
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As the breach was admitted the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Balancing the above matters but with emphasis on the relative seriousness of the breach, a fine of $300 is imposed.
Charge:
Throughout the home straight on the final occasion Mr Argue used his whip in an unnecessary manner when racing out of contention.
Facts:
Mr Ydgren showed the video film of the run down the home straight. He said VENGEANCE was last into the straight, Mr Argue hit it with his whip on 16 occasions, the horse finished 2nd to last (in a field of 10) and at no stage in the run home did the horse have any chance of finishing in a stake bearing position – that is in the first five placings.
Mr Argue accepted what Mr Ydgren said regarding his use of the whip but said that he thought the conditions of the race were that the stake money payable to any runner depended on its finishing placing. He said the horse was having only its second start and he was trying to “teach her to find the line”.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Ydgren said the starting point for penalty was a fine of $250 or a one week suspension, the offending was above mid range, Mr Argue had no relevant breaches of the rules recorded against him and the Group One status of the race should be taken into account – Rule 1114 (2)(a). He submitted that a fine in the range $300 - $400 should be imposed.
Mr Argue accepted the submissions of Mr Ydgren.
Reasons for Penalty:
In fixing penalty the committee takes into account the admission of the breach, the submissions of Mr Ydgren and the acceptance of them by Mr Argue, the explanation by Mr Argue about stake money, the clear driving record of Mr Argue, the recommended starting point, the status of the race and our view that the offending is relatively serious.
