REQUEST FOR A RULING:
----
Mr M. R. Pitman has asked the Stipendiary Stewards that he be allowed to late scratch three horses which he trains because of the track conditions. These horses are “Coup Align” (1) in Race 9, “Deeday” (1) in Race 10 and “Fellini” (3) in Race 11. Stipendiary Steward Mr S. C. Ching has laid an information seeking a ruling on these matters.
----
Mr Pitman gave evidence that he has four horses entered for the last three races to day. He has no problems with starting “Coup Pie” (2) in Race 10. Mr Pitman said that none of these three horses would be suited by the present track conditions. It was established that the track was rated at Good3 at 7-30am this morning, which was the latest time for scratching. It was also established that it had started to rain at about 8-00am, and this rain had resulted in the track being down graded to Dead4.
----
Mr Pitman gave reasons why he believed his horses would not be suited by the present track conditions. Mr Ching did not have any disagreement with Mr Pitman’s evidence.
----
The Rule that applies in these circumstances is Rule 828(7), and this provides as follows.
----
“(a) If, after the time referred to in sub-Rule (1) of this Rule, [7-30am] an Owner or his authorised agent wishes to scratch a horse from a race he must …. attempt to satisfy the Stipendiary Steward that there are circumstances which warrant the horse being scratched and that he is therefore entitled to scratch it after that time. If the Stipendiary Steward is so satisfied the Owner or agent may scratch the horse.
--(b) If the Stipendiary Steward is not so satisfied he shall complete an information and file it with the Registrar of the Judicial Committee and the Judicial Committee shall then determine whether there are such circumstances and whether the Owner or his authorised agent is entitled to scratch the horse after that time.
--(c) A material change in the condition of the track, occurring after that time, shall be deemed by the Stipendiary Steward and the Judicial Committee to constitute such circumstances.”
----
Having heard the evidence from Mr Pitman and Mr Ching we were satisfied that the track conditions did change after 7-30am this morning, and that this change amounted to circumstances justifying Mr Pitman’s horses being scratched. We therefore made a ruling that the three horses involved should be allowed to be scratched.
