Following Race 1 an information was filed pursuant to Rule 864(2)(d).The informant Stipendiary Steward Mr J Muirhead alleged that Trainer Mr R Brosnan failed to affix the hopple carrier straps so as not to come adrift resulting in BALTIC WARRIOR galloping and being pulled up.
--Mr Brosnan admitted the breach and was present for the hearing.
--Stipendiary Steward Mr Muirhead demonstrated on the video films the carrier strap coming adrift causing Baltic Warrior to break and lose all chance at the start. He said the gear was in good order.
--Mr Brosnan said he had no explanation as to how the carrier strap came adrift.
--PENALTY SUBMISSIONS
--Mr Muirhead referred to the JCA penalty guide, which recommended a $250.00 fine; he submitted a $200.00 fine was appropriate.
--Mr Brosnan had nothing to offer on penalty.
--DECISION
--The Committee assessed the evidence presented to it. The Committee however has the benefit of a schedule of all harness racing penalties imposed by the JCA Committee’s throughout the country; this disclosed previous penalties of a $100.00 fine for this type of offence .One of which was at Oamaru meeting on the 28th April 2009 and, more importantly, one which was at Cambridge on 17th September 2009.
--The circumstances of the Cambridge case are very similar to this case, although the Cambridge race happened 500 metres after the start, where as in this case it was at the start. There was no issue with possible interference to any horse or driver.
--This committee is mindful of the fact that gear coming adrift during a race can present a safety issue however this committee is also mindful of the fact that it needs to treat all parties that come before it the same.
--Based on all the evidence and also the requirement for consistency this Committee imposes a fine of $100.
