Video coverage of this incident was shown to illustrate that Mr Telfer had used his whip on about 22 occasions in the run home.

In relation to penalty Mr Renault advised that Mr Telfer had no previous relevant convictions and recommended a fine of $200-00.  Mr Telfer was asked if he would prefer a suspension to a fine, and he said that he would.  It was established that Mr Telfer had five horses in training and that if suspended he would employ other drivers for his horses.

We were satisfied that a suspension was appropriate in this case.  Accordingly Mr Telfer’s Graduation Horseman’s Licence was suspended from after the conclusion of racing on 20 February 2009, until after the conclusion of racing on 4 March 2009, this being a three (3) day suspension.
