Decision: Mr Holmes admitted a breach of rule 858(3) in that in race 10, being the rider of TRANSCEND he weighed in 1 kg in excess of his weigh out weight of 53.5 kg

Mr Holmes admitted a breach of rule 858(3) in that in race 10, being the rider of TRANSCEND he weighed in 1 kg in excess of his weigh out weight of 53.5 kg. He was adamant he did not wish to attend the hearing and his explanation that he had a small drink between weighing out and riding was conveyed to us by Mr Davidson.

--

Mr Holmes has had issues with his weight but has not previously been charged under this rule this season. He should have been aware of the difficulties inherent in his having a drink, no  matter how small, after weighing out.

--

 

--

Mr Davidson asked for a fine in the range of $150 to $200. Having regard to Mr Holmes’s explanation and his good record with respect to this rule, we fine him the sum of $200 and remind him of his obligations under the Rules of Racing.
