REQUEST FOR A RULING:

--

Stipendiary Steward Mr Ching has laid an information seeking a ruling as to whether “Dr Zeuss” (12) was denied a fair start in Race 9 and also whether that horse should be declared a non-starter. 

--

 

--

Video coverage of the start of this race was shown, and it could clearly be seen that the outside gate of “Dr Zeuss” was late in opening.  Ms Tetzlaff said that her horse lost at least two lengths because of this delay.

--

 

--

Mr Ching said that he believed that the problem with the gate had denied “Dr Zeuss” a fair start, and that such occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of that horse.

--

 

--

The race Starter, Mrs Payne, said that she was not aware there had been a problem until she saw the video replay, and she agreed that the gate was slow in opening.

--

 

--

  After seeing the video coverage, and after hearing from the persons involved we were satisfied that, in terms of Rule 865A, “Dr Zeuss” was denied a fair start because the starting gate was slow in opening.  We were also satisfied that “Dr Zeuss’s” chances were materially prejudiced.

--

 

--

Accordingly we made a ruling that “Dr Zeuss” be declared a non-starter and that all bets on the horse be refunded.
