Meet Title:

Meet Chair:
GHall

Meet Committee Member 1:
DSteel

Race Date:
2013/11/08

Race Number:
R 6

Decision:

Mr Walkinshaw admitted the breach and indicated on the information that he did not wish to be present at the hearing. We thus find the breach proved.

Penalty:

We view the breach as mid-range and having regard to the admission of the breach and clear record, we fine Mr Walkinshaw the sum of $200.

Facts:

Mr Ydgren alleged that Mr Walkinshaw used his whip excessively in the run home in Race 6, the DON CUTTANCE MEMORIAL PACE, when driving MINSTREL BOY.

Mr Ydgren demonstrated that as the horse turned for home and in the run home Mr Walkinshaw used his whip some 26 or 27 times. The majority of the strikes were to the sulky rather than to the horse.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Ydgren produced Mr Walkinshaw’s record, which he described as very good. There were no previous breaches of this Rule.

Reasons for Penalty:

We find that Mr Walkinshaw used the whip some 26 or 27 times. There was some respite and it was clear many strikes were to the dust cover.
