Meet Title:
Hawera HRC - 26 March 2016
Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Meet Committee Member 1:
TUtikere
Meet Committee Member 2:
TBird
Race Date:
2016/03/26
Race Number:
R 1
Decision:
As the breach was admitted it was found to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Briskie was fined $450.
Facts:
Subsequent to the running of Race 1 (Got It Covered / Baker Builders Handicap Trot 2100m), Information No. A7472 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It alleged that Mr Briskie had used his whip excessively over the final stages on NOTRE DAME.
Rule 869(2)(a) provides:
No horseman shall during any race use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.
The Rule was read and Mr Briskie confirmed that he understood the Rule; the charge preferred against him and confirmed that he admitted the breach.
Mr Muirhead showed the films, identified Mr Briskie and his horse and said that Mr Briskie had hit his horse 3 times with the whip early in the run home, then changed the whip from his left hand to his right hand and hit the horse a further 17 times with only one short pause during this time.
Mr Briskie agreed with the number of times (20) that he had hit his horse.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Muirhead referred to the penalty guidelines and considered that the matter could be dealt with by way of a fine due to the admittance of the breach and Mr Briskie’s good record. Mr Muirhead added that Mr Briskie does not drive on a regular basis. Mr Briskie said that he is naturally left-handed and should have stayed using the whip left-handed instead of trying to use it in the right hand. With regard to penalty he said that he agreed with Mr Muirhead’s submission.
Before a penalty was determined it was brought to the attention of the committee that on 27 February 2016 Mr Briskie was fined $200 for a whip breach.
Mr Briskie confirmed that this was correct.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee when considering penalty took into account the following matters:
1) The penalty guideline
2) The admission of the breach
3) Mr Briskie’s record
4) The relatively high number of strikes
