Race Date:
2008/08/28
Race Number:
Race 6
Decision:
Under Rule 869 (7B) an Information was lodged by Stipendiary Steward Mr TW Taumanu against the second placing of horse number 3, Waihemo John (Trainer M Wallis) alleging that this horse had moved inside the marker line and its sulky had gone over four markers inside the last 600 metres of the race and on the home bend.
Under Rule 869 (7B) an Information was lodged by Stipendiary Steward Mr TW Taumanu against the second placing of horse number 3, Waihemo John (Trainer M Wallis) alleging that this horse had moved inside the marker line and its sulky had gone over four markers inside the last 600 metres of the race and on the home bend.
----
Mr B Mangos was present and represented the connections of the horse. The protest was contested.
----
Evidence was given by use of the video film of the race and this clearly showed Waihemo John hanging inwards prior to the home turn and its sulky ran over four pylons and this was inside the last 600 metres. Mr Taumanu stated that an official measurement of the track disclosed that the pylons on the home bend were 10 metres apart.
----
Rule 869(7B) states “Where any horse or its sulky wheel moves inside the track marker line for more than 30 metres in the last 600 metres of a race the horse shall be disqualified from that race except where it is established that the breach was caused by interference by another horse or horseman.”
----
Mr Mangos acknowledged the Rule and also after viewing the film acknowledged that his sulky had gone over four pylons and he acknowledged that the provisions of the Rule had been satisfied. He did state that by hanging the horse had cost himself the race but he acknowledged the strict liability nature of the Rule.
----
Taking all evidence into account I am satisfied that the sulky of Waihemo John did go over four pylons and accordingly the provisions of the Rule have been satisfied and the protest is upheld. I accordingly disqualify Waihemo John from second place.
----
The amended placings are now 8 first, 7 second, 5 third, 2 fourth and 3 fifth.
