DECISION AND REASONS:
--Following the running of Race 6, the PGG Wrightson 133rd Grand National Steeplechase, Chief Stipendiary Steward Mr C. George laid an information pursuant to Rule 530(2)(b) alleging Jockey P. J. N. Turner, the rider of "Repete" (9), used the whip excessively inside the 600 metre mark.
----Mr Turner admitted this breach of the Rules and confirmed that he understood the Rule and the charge. Mr Turner also confirmed that he was aware of the guidelines with respect to acceptable use of the whip.
--Mr George used video coverage of the incident to show the manner in which Mr Turner had used the whip from the 600 metre mark.
--In response Mr Turner said that "there was not much he could say", and that the video coverage said it all.
--Penalty: In relation to penalty Mr George advised that Mr Turner had not breached this rule in the last 12 months, and recommended a fine in the vicinity of $200-00. We adjourned to consider penalty.
--We took into account Mr Turner's clear record and his early guilty plea. On the other hand this was a Prestige Jumping Race and therefore high profile. Taking all these matters into account we decided that a fine of $250-00 was appropriate in this case. On returning to the Enquiry Room Mr Turner was advised that he was fined the sum of $250-00.
