RACEDAY JUDICIAL COMMITTEE DECISION
--Informant: Mr J Muirhead – Stipendiary Steward
--Defendant: Mr J Robinson
--Information No: 68604
--Meeting: Auckland Trotting Club
--Date: 30 April 2010
--Venue: Alexandra Park
--Race: 4
--Rule No: 869 (3) (b)
--Judicial Committee: Mr B Rowe, Chairman – Mr B Scott, Committee Member
--Plea: Admitted
----
This is an information filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr J MUIRHEAD against Mr J ROBINSON driver of NOBLESSE ROYALE alleging a breach of the above rule in that he drove his horse carelessly causing interference to FLOJO TWO driven by Mr S LAWSON with resultant interference to CHARDANAE driven by Mr T MacFARLANE with about 900metres to run.
----
Mr ROBINSON admitted the breach and was present at the hearing.
----
Mr MUIRHEAD showed the film of the incident. He said FLOJO TWO moved outwards from the one out position. NOBLESSE ROYALE improved quickly outside and past FLOJO TWO. FLOJO TWO was tightened and broke and came back on CHARDANAE which also broke. Both of those two horses lost ground and momentum at a time when they were looking to improve forward in the field. Mr MUIRHEAD said CHARDANAE recovered to finish 4th and but for the interference would likely have finished in a higher placing.
----
Mr ROBINSON said he was pushed out and thought he was entitled to hold his position.
----
Mr MUIRHEAD said the quick forward movement of NOBLESSE ROYALE was a mitigating factor.
----
PENALTY
--Mr MUIRHEAD said Mr ROBINSON had no breaches of the rules recorded against him in the last 12months. He said the offending was mid-point on the scale of seriousness, the recommended starting point for penalty was a fine of $400 and/or 2 weeks suspension, and the quick improvement of NOBLESSE ROYALE was a mitigating factor.
----
Mr ROBINSON said he had had 12 drives in the last 12months and would prefer a suspension to a fine.
----
In fixing penalty the committee takes into account the guilty plea, the submissions of Mr MUIRHEAD and Mr ROBINSON, the recommended starting point, the offending was mid-point on the scale of seriousness, Mr ROBINSON’s clear driving record, the stake payable for the race ($20.000) – rule 1114 (2) (b) – and that the chances of two horses were affected.
----
Balancing those matters but with emphasis on the fact that Mr ROBINSON drives infrequently, that the chances of two horses were affected and the stake money, a fine of $350 is imposed
