Cambridge - Te Awamutu HRC - 14 January 2011
Meet Chair:
BRowe
Meet Committee Member 1:
GJones
Race Date:
2011/01/14
Race Number:
R 2
Decision:
For the above reasons the charge is proved.
Penalty:
A fine of $250 is imposed.
Charge:
Trainers Messrs Purdon and Phelan failed to apply the side carriers on horse SUPREMACY’s hopples as to not come adrift.
Facts:
Mr Taumanu said that during the running of the race a side carrier hopple on SUPREMACY came undone and worked its way up. He said the gear was examined and found to be in excellent order. He said Mr Phelan was interviewed and said the carrier had been taped.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Taumanu said the same thing had happened when SUPREMACY raced on the 17th December 2010. Mr Taumanu said the tape might not have been put in the right place.
Mr Phelan did not cross examine Mr Taumanu. Mr Phelan said that after the previous incident all stable horses had this gear taped when racing. He confirmed the hopple carrier was taped prior to the race tonight and said “we can’t do any more”.
Mr Taumanu did not cross examine Mr Phelan.
Reasons for Decision:
Rule 1008 provides that rule 864(2)(d) is a strict liability rule. The facts are not in dispute. The gear did come adrift. It is the responsibility of the trainer to ensure such gear is properly affixed.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu said a $200 fine had been imposed for the previous breach referred to. He said the recommended starting point for penalty is a $250 fine. He said the defendants ran a professional stable and that this breach did not warrant any excessive increase on the previous fine.
Mr Phelan said he would leave the question of penalty to the committee.
Reasons for Penalty:
In fixing penalty the committee takes into account the submissions of Mr Taumanu and Mr Phelan, the previous breach of the rule, the recommended starting point and the efforts taken by the defendants to prevent any further breach of this rule occurring.
