Race 9
Decision:
An information filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr T Taumanu, against Mr I Marks, driver of FREIGHT TRAIN, alleging a breach of Rule 869 (3) (b) - Careless driving - in that he moved his horse inwards with about 300 metres to run, causing a severe check to HUNTER HILLS
An information filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr T Taumanu, against Mr I Marks, driver of FREIGHT TRAIN, alleging a breach of Rule 869 (3) (b) - Careless driving - in that he moved his horse inwards with about 300 metres to run, causing a severe check to HUNTER HILLS driven by Ms A Donnelly. Mr Marks admitted the breach and was present at the hearing.
--Stipendiary Steward Mr J Muirhead demonstrated the incident by use of the video film. Mr Marks moved FREIGHT TRAIN to a four wide position and then moved the horse back to a three wide position and in so doing caused severe interference to HUNTER HILLS. The chances of HUNTER HILLS were seriously affected. Mr Marks acknowledged Mr Muirhead's interpretation was correct.
--PENALTY
--Mr Taumanu said Mr Marks had a clear driving record and did not drive very often. He suggested suspension of Mr Marks' horseman's licence up to and including 23 November - effectively 4 days. If a fine was to be imposed, he suggested it should be in the range $300.00 - $400.00. Mr Marks said he preferred a suspension.
--In fixing penalty I took into account the following :
--- --
- The guilty plea. --
- Mr Marks' clear driving record --
- The offending was above the midpoint on the scale of seriousness. --
- The submissions of Mr Taumanu. --
- The submissions of Mr Marks. --
- Mr Marks only drove infrequently.
Balancing those matters, I suspended Mr Marks' horseman's licence until the conclusion of racing on 23 November 2007, which is effectively 4 days.
