Burgess, the Licensed Trainer of “Shirley’s Boy” (11), alleging a breach of Rule 863 in that he started this horse after it suffered an injury en route to the course.
--Mr Burgess had indicated on the information that he admitted this breach of the Rules and also that he did not wish to attend the hearing.
--Mr Escott gave evidence that after the race Mr Burgess asked for veterinarian assistance for “Shirley’s Boy”. It was then found that the horse had been injured on its way to the course. In the opinion of the veterinarian “Shirley’s Boy” was not in a fit condition to have competed in the race.
--Mr Escott advised that there were no previous relevant convictions, and as the breach was admitted he recommended a fine of between $300-00 and $400-00.
--We adjourned to consider the matter of penalty. We were satisfied that as Mr Burgess had admitted the breach, and as there had been no previous breaches of the Rule, that the range of fines recommended by Mr Escott was appropriate. On the other hand this breach was relatively serious. We decided that an appropriate fine in this case was $400-00, and Mr Burgess was fined this amount.
