Facts:
Following the running of the CROMBIE LOCKWOOD INSURANCE HANDICAP TROT, an Information instigating a Protest was lodged by Senior Stipendiary Steward, Mr S Mulcay against the first placing of GERSHWIN on the grounds that it galloped in excess of 150 metres in the early stages of the Race.
Rule 870(3) provides that any horse that breaks from its gait during a race must promptly return to its proper gait.
The Breaking Horses Regulations provide that any horse which breaks from its gait during a race and gallops in excess of 150 metres is in breach of Rule 870(3).
The Protest was not contested and Driver Mr T Mitchell endorsed the Information accordingly.
Mr Mulcay demonstrated the incident by use of the race films and showed where GERSHWIN approaching the first bend broke and galloped in excess of 150 metres. He calculated that it galloped for over 170 metres.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Mulcay said that as GERSHWIN had galloped for over 150 metres it was in breach of Rule 870(3) and should be disqualified from the race.
Reasons for Decision:
The protest is not contested.
