Feilding JC 25 April 2014 – R 3
ID: JCA17595
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Feilding JC - 25 April 2014
Meet Chair:
NMoffatt
Meet Committee Member 1:
TCastles
Race Date:
2014/04/25
Race Number:
R 3
Decision:
As Mr Tinsley admitted the breach the charge was found to be proved.
Penalty:
Taking into account all of the submissions we fined Mr Tinsley $250.00.
Facts:
Mr Goodwin lodged an information with the Judicial Committee alleging a breach of Rule 330 (3) (c) in that H S Tinsley failed to make the weight for PLATINUM LINCOLN in Race 3.
Mr Tinsley accepted the ride on PLATINUM LINCOLN at a weight of 57kgs however it became apparent to him on the morning of the races that he would not be able to make that weight. Mr Tinsley contacted Ms Latta, the trainer, by text at 10.30am as soon as he realised he would have a problem.
Mr Goodwin said Mr Tinsley notified him as soon as he arrived on course and he was subsequently replaced by Mr M Cameron.
Mr Tinsley explained that recently he caught chickenpox which required him to stand down for Oaks Day at Wellington. He has not really returned to full health since then and has, on various occasions, had to forfeit rides due to cramping. Mr Tinsley said he did not want to use that as an excuse for being overweight today however he has been having difficulty with his health.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Goodwin said in light of Mr Tinsley’s comments he was of the opinion that a fine at the lower end be imposed. Mr Tinsley’s record showed the following breaches dealt with by the minor infringement scheme.
16/5/2013 $100
25/1/2014 $100
8/2/2014 $200
Mr Tinsley said he understood that Judicial Committees had to be consistent and accepted that a fine was appropriate.
Reasons for Penalty:
In setting penalty the Committee took into account Mr Tinsley’s record which we considered a good one. For a rider with recognised weight issues three breaches in a year proves Mr Tinsley’s effort and commitment to keeping his weight under control. We also had regard to the fact that Mr Tinsley was replaced by another senior rider ensuring the connections and betting public were not disadvantaged by the late rider change.
Taking into account other penalties it appeared that the usual step up from the minor infringement scheme was a fine of $300. In Mr Tinsley’s case we accepted his recent ill health as a mitigating factor and therefore we reduced the penalty to reflect this.
