Mr Wheeler had indicated on the information that he admitted this breach of the rules and he confirmed this at the hearing. He also agreed that he understood the charge, the Rule it was brought under, and the “Use of the Whip” guidelines.
----
Stipendiary Steward Mr Renault used video coverage to show that Mr Wheeler had used his whip on about 27 occasions in the run home. Mr Wheeler did not dispute the facts of the matter.
----
Penalty:
----
In relation to penalty Mr Renault advised that Mr Wheeler had a previous conviction for a breach of this Rule on 4 October 2008 when he was fined $200-00. A fine of $400-00 or a two day suspension was recommended. Mr Wheeler said that he preferred a suspension.
----
Taking into account Mr Wheeler’s guilty plea, and his previous conviction, we were satisfied that a two day suspension was appropriate in is case. Accordingly Mr Wheeler’s horseman’s licence was suspended from the completion of racing tonight, 21 November 2008, until after the completion of racing on 4 December 2008, which is two day suspension.
