Meet Title:
NZ Metro TC - 21 October 2011
Meet Chair:
RMcKenzie
Meet Committee Member 1:
JPhelan
Race Date:
2011/10/21
Race Number:
R3
Decision:
Mr McGrath having admitted the breach, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Mr McGrath was fined the sum of $200.
Charge:
Horse presented in incorrect gear
Facts:
Following the running of Race 3, Clarkson Sign Studio Pace, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr N G McIntyre, against Licensed Public Trainer, Mr N R McGrath, alleging a breach of Rule 865 (2) in that Mr McGrath, as the trainer of DEMOCRACY in the race, failed to advise that DEMOCRACY would not be presented with a pacifier.
Mr McGrath had signed the Statement by the Respondent on the information form indicating that he admitted the breach. Mr McIntyre informed the Committee that Mr McGrath did not wish to be present at the hearing of the information.
Rule 865 (2) provides as follows:
(2) Every horse entered in a totalisator race shall be presented in the assembly area prior to the race in the same notifiable gear as that notified under sub-rule (1).
Submissions for Decision:
Mr McIntyre said that Mr McGrath had presented DEMOCRACY, trained by him, in Race 4 without the pacifier that had been notified.
Mr McIntyre said that the offence was one included in the Minor Infringement System. However, Mr McGrath had two previous breaches of Rule 865 on his record – both at Rangiora HRC on 30 March 2011 – within the preceding period of 365 days. For that reason, an information was filed pursuant to Rule 1105A (3) (c).
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr McIntyre submitted that a fine of $200 was appropriate.
Reasons for Penalty:
In determining penalty, the Committee had regard to Mr McGrath’s admission of the breach. The Committee noted that the penalty prescribed by the Minor Infringement System for a breach of Rule 865 is a fine of $100. The penalty for a third breach of the Rule has to increase.
