Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 12 January 2013
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 1:
AGodsalve
Race Date:
2013/01/12
Race Number:
R3
Decision:
As Mr Rennie admitted the breach we find the charged proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, we impose a $150 fine on Ms Latta.
Charge:
Following race 3 an information was filed pursuant to rule 649(4)(b). The informant, Mr Williamson, alleged that gear (towel) was added after the rider had weighed out.
Facts:
Mr Williamson advised the committee that Mr Innes weighed in 0.9kg overweight. He said when Mr Rennie was interviewed by the Stewards he admitted to adding a towel.
Mr Rennie said he was at a loss as to explain why he added a towel. He said it was a completely innocent and genuine mistake. He further stated that he is used to saddling up horses at trials and jumpouts where a towel is part of their gear.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson submitted Ms Latta had a clear record under this rule and Mr Rennie was very co operative with Stewards. He said the only other breach of this rule in 2010 resulted in a Trainer being fined $150. He submitted the same penalty for this offence.
Mr Rennie made no submissions on penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered the evidence and submissions presented. The mitigating factors are Ms Latta's clear record and the admission of the breach. The aggravating fact was clearly a towel was added after the rider had weighed out. Mr Rennie showed genuine remorse for his actions. In the interest of consistency we determine a $150 fine to be an appropriate penalty.
