Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Cambridge - Te Awamutu HRC - 30 December 2011
Meet Chair:
GJones
Meet Committee Member 1:
JHolloway
Race Date:
2011/12/30
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
Penalty:
In consideration of the above factors we impose a fine of $200.
Charge:
Miss Chilcott drove inside a pylon and gained an advantage with her horse Leroy Brogden during the run home.
Facts:
Stipendiary Steward, Mr Taumanu told the Judicial Control Authority Committee (“the Committee”) that as the field approached the home straight, Leroy Brogden was racing three deep behind Ambros Favourite (P Ferguson), who was directly behind the leader, Clive Bromac (D Butcher). Leroy Brogden improved inside Ambros Favourite and in doing so crossed the marker line, knocking down one pylon and brushing at least one other. He said that in carrying out this manoeuvre Leroy Brogden gained an unfair advantage over the third placed horse, Nickys Passion.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu submitted that the Penalty Guidelines for Committees establish a fine of $200 for a breach of this particular rule. He submitted that as a result of the breach Leroy Brogden was relegated from 2nd to 3rd placing (following a Protest Hearing) and that this cost the connections of the horse the difference in stake money ($830 to $420).
Mr Taumanu also submitted that in his view the breach was at the lower end of the scale and that Ms Chilcott was a busy driver and had a good driving record.
Ms Chilcott submitted that there were mitigating circumstances i.e. that Mr Ferguson's horse was laying in on her. She also submitted that the Committee should take account of her good record and the fact that she has not previously breached this rule.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee carefully considered the submissions of the Informant and Ms Chilcott. The Committee independently assessed the incident and does not accept that Mr Fergusons horse was a contributing factor. But we do accept that the breach was at the lower end of the scale albeit that Leroy Brogden was relegated from 2nd to 3rd as a result of this breach and this did have a financial impact on the horse’s owners and may have had a financial impact on the betting public.
We noted that previous breaches of this particular rule have attracted a fine between $100 and $350.
