Mr Laking was present at the hearing of the information and admitted the breach which was found proved accordingly.
----
Rule 858 (1) (c) provides as follows:
--Every rider commits a breach of these Rules who:
--(c) touches (other than accidentally) any person or any thing other than an article of his own equipment before weighing in provided, however, that a Stipendiary Steward may waive a breach of this sub-Rule if, in his opinion, the integrity of the weighing in process has not been prejudiced by such breach.
----
Mr Ching said that, prior to weigh in following Race 10, he was observing the unsaddling of the horses in the birdcage. He observed that Mr Laking, on dismounting, was offered a hand by one of the part-owners of the winner, Mr Reardon, which Mr Laking shook. This was prior to Mr Laking’s weighing in.
----
Mr Ching advised the Committee that Mr Laking had not previously been charged under the particular Rule. He recommended a fine of between $100-200.
----
Mr Laking explained that Mr Reardon had been happy that his horse had won. He offered his hand and he shook it, Mr Laking said. He had not breached this Rule before. He did not think at the time.
----
The Committee took into account Mr Laking’s admission of the breach, his previous good record under the Rule and the minor nature of the breach.
----
Mr Laking was fined the sum of $150.00.
