ID: JCA10823
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 1 January 2018
Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2018/01/01
Race Number:
R 9
Decision:
As Mr Bayliss admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved.
Penalty:
Mr Bayliss was fined $500.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 9, Sistema Railway (Group 1), an Information was filed with the Judicial Committee. The Informant, Mr Oatham, alleged that Mr Bayliss made a celebratory gesture prior to the winning post.
Mr Bayliss acknowledged that he understood the Rule and confirmed his admission of the breach.
Rule 638(2) provides:
A Rider shall not make a celebratory gesture prior to his horse passing the winning post.
Mr Coles demonstrated the incident using the available film replays. He identified Mr Bayliss and his mount (VOLPE VELOCE) and showed that he made a celebratory gesture well before the winning post.
Mr Bayliss acknowledged that he made a celebratory gesture prior to the winning post. He said that he was overwhelmed winning a Group 1 race and it was his biggest career win. He said the celebratory gesture would look good in the photo.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham said that Mr Bayliss had breached this Rule on 9 December 2017 and incurred a $300 fine in a Group 3 Race. He said it was of some concern that this was Mr Bayliss’ second breach in a short term. Mr Oatham submitted that a monetary penalty not less than $500 would be appropriate.
Mr Bayliss said that he got a “buzz’ from winning the race and considered that a $300 fine would be acceptable.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented.
The JCA Penalty Guide recommended starting point for a breach of this Rule is a $300 fine.
The aggravating fact was the breach occurred in a Group 1 Race worth $200,000 and this was Mr Bayliss’ second breach in the last 3 weeks. Theses combined factors warranted an increase in the penalty.
The Committee recognised Mr Bayliss’ excitement at winning his first Group 1 Race but the Rule is clear that a rider shall not make a celebratory gesture prior to his horse passing the winning post. This Rule was introduced for safety reasons which are paramount.
The only mitigating fact was Mr Bayliss’ admission of the breach which was unsurprising.
