ID: JCA16328
Meet Title:
Hawera HRC - 2 April 2018
Meet Chair:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 1:
TBird
Race Date:
2018/04/02
Race Number:
R10
Decision:
As the charge was admitted, the Committee deem the charge proved.
Penalty:
Ms Donnelly is fined $300.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 10 (ZODIAC SIGNS, FIBER FRESH & WRIGHTSON MOBILE PACE 2000m) Information A10560 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It alleged a breach of Rule 869(2) and alleged that Ms Donnelly breached the Use of Whip Guidelines “when she used her whip on WHALE RIDER excessively inside the final 400m”. Ms Donnelly signed the Information acknowledging that she admitted the breach. She also endorsed the Information indicating that she did not wish to attend the hearing.
Rule 869 states: "No horseman shall during any race use a whip in a manner in contravention of the Use of the Whip Regulations made by the Board."
Using the side-on film Mr Mulcay identified WHALE RIDER positioned closest to the pegs as the field was passing the 400m. Ms Donnelly had improved to the lead and had used her whip three times whilst holding the rein. She then switched to a freehand action. The stewards submitted that she had used the whip on 15 occasions in a striking action. Mr Mulcay identified that Ms Donnelly had simply lost count.
Submissions for Penalty:
It was identified that Ms Donnelly had a clear record under this rule and the stipendiary stewards submitted a $300 fine, in accordance with a second tier offence on the sliding scale, as appropriate. Ms Donnelly was not present to make any submissions to the contrary.
Reasons for Penalty:
It is clear from the side-on film that Ms Donnelly used her whip 15 times over the concluding 400 metres of the race. This number is outside the number permitted under the Use of Whip Regulations. While the Committee notes the Respondent's early admission and that this is her first breach of the rule, it considers a fine as identified in the Regulation's sliding scale for 14-16 strikes as appropriate.
