Race Date:
2010/12/03
Race Number:
R 10
Decision:
The Charge having been admitted is accordingly proved.
Penalty:
The Committee imposes a fine of $250.00 on Mr Cooney.
Charge:
Driving ROWLON THE DREAM carelessly when crossing over at the start of the Race and tightening ANVIL JUSTICE (Driver I Brownlee) for racing room.
Facts:
Stipendiary Steward Mr TW Taumanu lodged an Information alleging that horseman Mr FD Cooney when driving ROWLON THE DREAM in Race 10 drove carelessly when he crossed over at the start tightening ANVIL JUSTICE (Driver I Brownlee) for racing room and locking sulky wheels racing into the first turn.
Mr Cooney appeared at the Hearing and admitted the charge. Mr Cooney also acknowledged that he understood the Rule.
Mr Taumanu demonstrated the incident by use of the video films which clearly showed Mr Cooney crossing over from the outside of the front line and tightening up Mr Brownlee’s horse which had drawn one on the second line.
Mr Cooney said he was going to cross to try and get the trail and he thought he could get there but Mr Brownlee had slapped his horse up to keep Mr Cooney out and get the trail himself. He said he took corrective action but acknowledged that he was a bit late. Mr Cooney also acknowledged that Mr Brownlee was entitled to be where he was.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu referred to the JCA Guidelines and submitted that a fine of $200.00 to $300.00 was appropriate. He also said that the incident was at the lower end of the scale and that Mr Cooney had a very good record.
Mr Cooney asked that the mitigating factors be taken into account.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Cooney is to be given credit for admitting the charge and also his very good record. The Committee notes Mr Taumanu’s advice that this matter is at the lower end of the scale of seriousness but the Committee is also mindful of the fact that the chances of 2 horses were affected by this incident and this needs to be taken into account. The Committee believes that a fine of $250.00 is appropriate.
