Meet Title:
Oamaru JC - 19 June 2019
Meet Chair:
GHall
Race Date:
2019/06/19
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
As Mr Prastiyou has admitted the breach, the breach is found to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Prastiyou is fined the sum of $300.
Facts:
Mr Davidson alleged that Mr Prastiyou used his whip excessively on his mount WENTWORTH prior to the 100 metres in race 4, the WHITE ACRES FISHING MAIDEN.
Rule 638(3)(b)(ii) provides: “A Rider shall not strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent, which is excessive.”
The “Guidelines with Respect to Acceptable Use of the Whip” provide:
“Without affecting the generality of r 638(3)(b) a rider may be penalised if their whip use is outside of the following guidelines: Inside the final 600 metres of any Race, official trial or jump-out a horse may be struck with the drawn whip up to five times after which the rider must cease their use of the whip for a minimum of five strides before striking the horse again with the drawn whip, with this restriction to apply prior to the final 100 metres….”
Mr Davidson demonstrated the breach using the videos. He pointed out there were 9 strikes before the 100 metres. There were some brief pauses but there was no clear break for five strides.
Mr Prastiyou said he accepted there were 9 strikes. He had believed he was closer to the 100 mark at the time than he actually was.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Davidson produced the respondent’s record, which was clear under this rule. He submitted a penalty as per the Penalty Guide of a fine of $300 was appropriate. Mr Prastiyou accepted this was the appropriate penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
This is the respondent’s first breach of this rule this season. There were 9 strikes before the 100 metres. There was no clear break for five strides.
The starting point in the Penalty Guide for a first breach of r 638(3)(b)(ii) is a fine of $300. There is no reason to uplift or reduce this figure.
