Race Number:
R7
Decision:
As Mr Marsh admitted the breach the charge was found to be proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly, we impose a monetary penalty of a $300 fine.
Facts:
Prior to the start of race 7, the West Brook Wines 1400, it came to the attention of Stewards that Licensed Trainer, Mr Marsh omitted the lead bag when saddling O’HE CAN. As a result, pursuant to Rule 614(2) A10386, an Information was filed with the Judicial Committee setting out the particulars of the charge.
Rule 614(2) provides that:
A person must not be neglectful or careless in saddling a horse.
Mr Marsh endorsed the Information “I do admit the breach and I do not wish to be present at the hearing”.
Mr Williamson said that Stewards spoke to Mr Marsh as soon as the omission was detected and the problem rectified. The lead bag was added prior to the horse leaving the birdcage. Mr Marsh freely acknowledged the breach adding it was a totally unintentional mistake.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Williamson submitted that this breach could be dealt with by way of a monetary penalty. He referred to the JCA guidelines which establish a $300 fine as a starting point.
On behalf of Mr Marsh, Mr Williamson submitted that Mr Marsh was extremely remorseful and embarrassed by the oversight. He said that Mr Marsh has a very good record and has not previously breached this particular rule.
Reasons for Penalty:
In determining an appropriate penalty the Committee had regard for the submissions by the Informant and those given on behalf of the Respondent. The Committee noted Mr Marsh’s admission, his clear record and his contrition. We accept that this was a genuine mistake and there are no compelling reasons to deviate from the Penalty Guide starting point of a $300 fine.
