--Judicial Committee: N.D Skelt Chairman - A G Dennis Committee Member

--Also Present: Mr C J Allison (Stipendiary Steward)
----
CHARGES:
--An information (67446) was lodged by stipendiary steward Mr P T Knowles, under rule 869 (4) alleging that horseman A. Armour (Pele) allowed his horse to drift outwards causing interference to Von Regal (J Cox) with approximately 20 meters to run.
----
The rule reads: “no horseman shall during any race do anything which interferes or is likely to interfere with his own horse or any other or its progress”.

----
Mr Armour admitted the breach stating that his horse has always been difficult to drive and had several gear changes.
----
SUBMISSION(s) ON PENALTY:
--Mr Knowles stated that in his opinion the breach was at the lower end of the scale. Mr Knowles also stated that Mr Armour had no previous breaches under this rule in the past twelve months Mr Knowles believed a fine would be an appropriate penalty.
----
Mr Armour asked the committee to take into account his early admittance of the breach and the horse’s wayward racing manners.
----
DECISION:
--The committee was satisfied a breach of the rule had occurred. Clearly Mr Armour had moved his horse Pele outwards when not sufficiently clear.
----
In assessing penalty consideration was given to Mr Armour’s early admittance of the breach and that he has no previous breaches under this rule in the past twelve months.
----
The committee in fixing penalty also deemed the breach to be at the lower end of the scale.
