Mr Kriechbaumer admitted the breach and was present at the hearing.
--Mr Muirhead showed the video film of the incident. Mr Kriechbaumer turned his whip and momentarily lost control of RICO GEAR which veered outwards causing JOHNNY KNOXVILLE to change its running line. RICO GEAR went on to win the race and JOHNNY KNOXVILLE was placed second. The margin between the two horses was seven lengths.
--PENALTY
--Mr Muirhead said Mr Kriechbaumer was inexperienced and he suggested leniency – he said Mr Kriechbaumer had been very frank. He suggested a fine in the region of $200 to $250. Mr Kriechbaumer accepted Mr Muirhead’s account of the incident and his recommendations. In fixing penalty the committee takes into account the following:-
--the guilty plea
the inexperience of Mr Kriechbaumer
the submissions of Mr Muirhead
the acceptance of those submissions by Mr Kriechbaumer
the offence was in the lower half of the scale of seriousness
the recommended starting point is a fine of $400 and/or two weeks suspension
other penalties imposed for a breach of this rule.
Balancing those matters a fine of $200 is imposed.
