Meet Title:
Morrinsville TC - 8 December 2011
Meet Chair:
JHolloway
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2011/12/08
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
As the breach was admitted, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Butcher is fined $200.
Charge:
Mr D J Butcher, the driver of CLIVE BROMAC in race 1, drove carelessly when he moved in and struck the sulky wheel on the horse, JEN MARIE, resulting in CLIVE BROMAC breaking with 500 metres to run.
Facts:
Stipendiary Steward, Mr Taumanu, referred to video footage of the relevant stage of the race and identified Mr Butcher approximately 4 to 5 wide moving inwards and Mr Mangos moving from the running line outwards. As Mr Butcher moved in behind Mr Mangos, his horse struck the sulky wheel which caused his own horse to break. Mr Butcher's horse lost all chance but Mr Mangos was unaffected by the contact.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu said that the breach was right at the lower end of the scale and that Mr Butcher had an excellent driving record. He sought a fine of $200.00.
Mr Butcher told the hearing that the horse was renowned for its bad manners and in similar circumstances, normally such minor contact would not have resulted in the horse breaking. He admitted his actions were careless but the horses behaviour had been the most contributing factor. He submitted the breach was very minor and that a lesser fine would be appropriate.
Reasons for Penalty:
We accept that the breach was very much at the lower end of the scale and that the horse's manners have contributed to the breach. We also accept that Mr Butcher is a senior horseman with an excellent driving record who acknowledged his liability. The JCA penalty guidelines and penalty record list for this breach indicate a minimum penalty of $200.00 which we consider to be fair.
