Facts:
Following the running of the STALLIONS AUSTRALASIA 4YO RUBY (Mobile Trot) an Information instigating a Protest was lodged by Co-Chief Stipendiary Steward Mr NG McIntyre against the 4th placing of ROYAL SHINE on the grounds of galloping in excess of 150 metres over the initial stages of the race.
Rule 870(3) provides that any horse that breaks from its gait shall promptly regain its proper gait.
The Breaking Horses Regulations part (a) provide that any horse that breaks from its gait either at the start or during the running of the race and continues on in the break for a distance of 150 metres or greater shall be deemed to be in breach of Rule 870(3)
Mr D Dunn the Driver of ROYAL SHINE endorsed the Information with the words " I do not contest the Protest." Mr Dunn also did not wish to be present at the Hearing.
Mr McIntyre demonstrated the incident by use of the race films and showed where shortly after the start ROYAL SHINE broke from its proper gait and he said it continued in a break for approximtely 230 metres.
The race films clearly showed this and in the Committee's view ROYAL SHINE galloped well in excess of 200 metres and Mr McIntyre's calculation was accurate.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr McIntyre submitted that as ROYAL SHINE had galloped for more than 150 metres it was in breach of Rule 870(3) and should be disqualified from the Race.
Reasons for Decision:
The Protest is not contested and is therefore upheld.
The Committee has power under Rule 870(4) to relegate the offending horse or power under Rule 1003(2) to disqualify the offending horse from the Race. The Committee believes that ROYAL SHINE should be disqualified from the Race.
