Forbury Park TC 29 June 2017 – R 6 – Chair, Prof G Hall
ID: JCA16118
Meet Title:
Forbury Park TC - 29 June 2017
Meet Chair:
GHall
Race Date:
2017/06/29
Race Number:
R 6
Decision:
As the breach is admitted it is thus found to be proved.
Penalty:
The starting point is a fine of $500. There is no alternation to this figure due to the nature of the breach, which is mid range. After a reduction for good record having regard to the frequency with which Mr Homes drives, and his admission of the breach, the penalty is a fine of $350.
Facts:
Mr Tidmarsh, Stipendiary Steward, alleged that Mr Holmes (JACKALACK SUE) drove carelessly when striking the wheel of FOUR STARZZZ SHIRAZ near the 300 metres of race 6, the FIREMECH CLAIMER FINAL MOBILE PACE.
Mr Tidmarsh demonstrated on the video that Mr Holmes, who was trailing the leading horse driven by Mr Orange, was held up for a run as the field rounded the final bend. He said half a run presented itself upon straightening. As Mr Holmes shifted in to take this run the off side fore leg struck the wheel of Mr Orange’s cart. The tyre eventually came off and this placed Mr Orange in difficulty. This was evident on the video and it was also apparent that Mr Orange did not drive his horse out to the winning post because of the deflated tyre.
Mr Holmes admitted the breach and indicated on the information that he did not wish to attend the hearing of the matter.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Tidmarsh described the respondent as a relatively busy driver, with 316 drives this season and 310 last season. He had had a previous breach of this rule this season, on 8 December 2016 when he was fined $300 at Addington. His record had been clear since that time. The JCA Penalty Guide starting point is a $500 fine or 10 drives. Mr Tidmarsh submitted a fine in the vicinity of $350 was appropriate.
Reasons for Penalty:
The breach is the result of a misjudgement by the respondent. Had he waited only a fraction longer a full run would have been available to him to the inside of Mr Orange. The aggravating factor is that the chances of Mr Orange’s horse were affected adversely by Mr Holmes’ actions due to the tyre deflating and coming off the rim.
