ID: JCA17690
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Hawkes Bay RI - 18 July 2019
Meet Chair:
NMoffatt
Meet Committee Member 1:
TCastles
Race Date:
2019/07/18
Race Number:
R7
Decision:
As Mr Grylls admitted the breach, the charge was deemed proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, Mr Grylls is fined the sum of $300.
Facts:
Following Race 7, Mr Oatham lodged an information with the Judicial Committee alleging a breach of Rule 638 (3) (b) (ii) in that C Grylls used the whip excessively on his mount “JONNY RUSS” prior to the 100 metres.
Mr Grylls signed the information indicating that he admitted the breach but did not wish to be present at the hearing.
Mr Oatham played the videos from the home turn and counted Mr Grylls using the whip 12 times prior to the 100m mark. The longest pause was for four strides, which placed him just outside the guidelines.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham said he had taken Mr Grylls through the films and he agreed that the total number of times he struck his horse was 12. Mr Grylls has a clear record under this rule and the Stewards' submission was for a monetary penalty in line with the Judicial Penalty Guide.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Penalty Guide for Judicial Committees provides the following starting points for breaches of Rule 638(3) (b) (ii):
1st breach $300
2nd breach $500
3rd or subsequent breach 6-8 national riding days
In determining penalty, the Committee considered all submissions. We took into account that this was Mr Gryll's first charge of excessive use of the whip in at least 12 months. The number of strikes and the pauses between them showed Mr Grylls was close to complying with the guidelines. We therefore categorised it as a low-end breach. There were no aggravating factors requiring an uplift from the starting point.
