Meet Title:
Forbury Park TC - 9 June 2016

Meet Chair:
GHall

Meet Committee Member 1:
PKnowles

Race Date:
2016/06/09

Race Number:
R 4

Decision:

As Mr Walkinshaw has admitted the breach we find the breach proved.

Penalty:

Mr Walkinshaw is fined the sum of $200.

Facts:

Mr Renault alleged that Mr Walkinshaw permitted his horse RAPHOE to start from the incorrect barrier position in race 4.

Mr Renault stated that Mr Walkinshaw had drawn 1 on the unruly and should therefore have started from behind horse 5 or wider. As there was a scratching of horse 4 he should have started behind horse 6, CULLER CODED (Mr Williamson) whereas he had started behind horse 5, HUDSON SULLY (Mr Dunn). Mr Renault emphasised the respondent had not gained any advantage through his error.

Mr Walkinshaw explained he had not realised horse number 4 had been scratched. He accepted he should have been behind CULLER CODED.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Renault produced Mr Walkinshaw’s record for this and last season. He had had over 600 drives in total and had no breaches of this rule. Mr Renault submitted a fine of $200 was appropriate.

Mr Walkinshaw emphasised the Committee should consider his good record.

Reasons for Penalty:

Mr Walkinshaw has gained no advantage through his error. The starting point in the Penalty Guide is a fine of $400. Mitigating factors are the admission of the breach and the very good record.
