Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Avondale JC - 17 September 2014
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Race Date:
2014/09/17
Race Number:
Race 9
Decision:
As Mr Nolan admitted the breach the Committee finds the charge proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, Mr Nolan is fined the sum of $150.
Facts:
Following the running of race 9, Avondale Appliance Centre 1400, an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 638(3) (b). The Informant, Mr Coles, alleged that Mr Nolan used the whip excessively on his mount BULLDOZER.
Mr Nolan endorsed the Information “I admit the breach and do not wish to be present at the hearing”. Mr Nolan was granted permission to leave the course by the Stewards.
Rule 638(3) (b) provides: A rider shall not strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent which is unnecessary, excessive or improper;
Mr Oatham demonstrated on the video films that Mr Nolan used his whip 12 times prior to the 200 metres when riding BULLDOZER.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Coles produced Mr Nolan’s record which showed no previous breach under this Rule in the last 12 months. He noted Mr Nolan last breached this Rule in August 2011. Mr Coles submitted a fine of $150 would be appropriate for today’s breach.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented. The mitigating facts are Mr Nolan’s admission of the breach and his excellent record under this Rule. The number of strikes (12) is assessed as low range and the severity is assessed at the low end.
Before imposing penalty the Committee referred to similar breaches under this Rule to determine a consistent penalty.
After taking into account all the above factors the Committee considers a fine of $150 is appropriate.
