Meet Chair:
DJackson
Meet Committee Member 1:
DAnderson
Race Date:
2018/11/25
Race Number:
R 5
Decision:
In light of Ms Jerard’s admission of the charge and the clear video evidence of excessive use of the whip the breach was found proved.
Penalty:
Ms Jerard is fined $200.00.
Facts:
Ms Jerard admits an information laid by Stipendiary Steward, Mr S Mulcay, alleging that during Race 5 of this meeting she used her whip excessively over the concluding stages of the race when driving I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU.
This is a breach of Rule 869(2), which provides 'No horseman shall during any race use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive, or improper manner'.
The Use of Whip Guidelines (effective 1 November 2017) provides (b) No horseman is permitted to use their whip in a striking motion on more than ten occasions inside the final 400 metres. This is inclusive of “backhanders” and the use applies to the horse, harness and/or sulky.
Ms Jerard countersigned the information admitting the charge and asking that the information be determined in her absence.
Through video evidence Mr Mulcay showed Ms Jerard strike her drive with the whip 13 times during its run down the home straight to the finish. Her drive finished third in the race but was later disqualified for excessive galloping during the early stages.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Mulcay submitted that Ms Jerard is a junior driver with a clear record. He submitted that the 13 strikes called for a fine in accordance with the JCA Penalty Guidelines in the amount of $200 and we agree.
Reasons for Penalty:
There are no aggravating or mitigating factors here justifying departure from the Guidelines.
