ID: JCA17160
Meet Title:
Nelson HRC - 5 January 2014
Meet Chair:
PWilliams
Race Date:
2014/01/05
Race Number:
R2
Decision:
As Mr Orange admitted the breach it is found proved.
Penalty:
Facts:
Following the running of race 2, the “Jennex Signs Mobile Pace” Information A3207 was filed by Co-Chief Stipendiary Steward, Mr R Neal under Rule 869(2)(a). The information stated “(B Orange) used his whip excessively throughout the final straight when driving “Remiss”.
Mr Orange signed the information admitting the breach and that he did not wish to be present during the hearing.
Rule 869(2)(a) states:- “No horseman shall during any race use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Neal used the side-on film to identify Mr Orange driving “Remiss”. He said Mr Orange had struck his horse mainly in a back handed manner and not particularly forcefully approximately 24 times in the home straight.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Neal said Mr Orange was a busy and very experienced driver who drove throughout the country on a regular basis who had admitted the breach at the earliest opportunity. He said Mr Orange had previously breached this Rule at Addington on 6 September 2013 when he struck his horse 3 times after the finishing line. He submitted a fine of $200 was an appropriate penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
I have reviewed the film of the incident and note that Mr Orange used his whip approximately 24 times in the home straight with almost all of them being not forceful and in a back handed manner. As such I believe the breach of the rules is at the low end of severity. I have also noted that whilst Mr Orange breached this Rule 4 months ago that breach was his first breach of the Rule in at least the previous 3.5 years. As such I believe Mr Orange has an outstanding record under this Rule. I believe on this occasion a fine is an appropriate penalty.
