Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 26 December 2019
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 1:
GJones
Race Date:
2019/12/26
Race Number:
R10
Decision:
Accordingly, the Committee declared EN SOIE to be a non-starter.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 10, Mr J Oatham, lodged an Information requesting a ruling in relation to Rule 632 to establish whether EN SOIE was denied a fair start.
Rule 632 provides “If, in the opinion of the Judicial Committee, a horse which does not finish in the first three placing’s was prevented from taking an effective part in a race owing to the mechanical failure of starting stalls, or is denied a fair start and such occurrence materially prejudiced the chances of that horse (but not where the horse is slow away of its own accord), the Judicial Committee may declare such horse to be a non-starter.”
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Oatham said that when reviewing video footage of the start immediately after the race it became apparent that a Barrier Attendant still had a hold of EN SOIE’s head when the gates had opened. He said this impeded EN SOIE to get away on terms with the rest of the field.
Mr Sargent said the video footage showed that a Barrier Attendant had a hold of EN SOIE when the gates opened.
Mr Richardson said the Barrier Attendant made a mistake which cost his horse a fair start.
Mr McNab said the incident was clear on the video footage.
Reasons for Decision:
The Committee carefully considered the submissions presented and reviewed the video footage.
The Committee was satisfied the video footage showed that the Barrier Attendant still had a hold of EN SOIE when the start was effected. As a consequence that runner lost several lengths. Under the provisions of the Rule the Committee was satisfied that EN SOIE was denied a fair start.
