DECISION AND REASONS:
Information No. 0792, filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr M R Davidson, against Licensed Trainer, Mr J F Parsons alleged a breach of Rule 614 (2) in that Mr Parsons, as the co-trainer of ENVEE and JACKSON BONES, runners in Race 7, Peninsular Resort Mooloolaba Rating 80, presented those horses for Race 7 with the incorrect saddle cloths.
Mr Parsons was present at the hearing of the information and he indicated that he admitted the breach. The breach was found proved accordingly.
--Rule 614 provides as follows:
(2) A person must not be neglectful or careless in saddling a horse.
Mr Neal informed the Committee that Assistant Stipendiary Steward, Mr M G Humphries, was checking the gear on the runners prior to Race 7. On checking the gear, he noticed that there was an irregularity with a lead bag on horses number 8 (ENVEE) and 9 (JACKSON JONES), both trained by Mr Parsons and his wife, Mrs K G Parsons. Upon looking into the matter, it was discovered that the horses had been correctly saddled but that the saddlecloths had been transposed – ENVEE was carrying saddlecloth number 9 and JACKSON JONES saddlecloth number 8.
--It was fortunate that the error had been detected at an early stage and the situation was rectified, Mr Neal said
--Mr Neal informed the Committee that this was the first time in a long, distinguished career that Mr Parsons had breached the Rule. He had a busy day with nine horses racing at the meeting and having two runners in Race 7.
--Mr Neal said that a fine was appropriate. He referred to a recent case in Otago (November 2009) where a trainer was fined $150 for a breach of the same Rule. He recommended a fine of between $150-200.
--Mr Parsons said that it was “just one of those things” that should not have happened but it did. He said that he had no excuse to offer for the breach.
--The Committee, in determining penalty, had regard to Mr Parson’s excellent record and his admission of the breach and to Mr Neal’s submissions.
--Mr Parsons was fined the sum of $150.
