Meet Committee Member 1:
PKnowles
Race Date:
2018/01/27
Race Number:
R 5
Decision:
Mr Williamson admitted the breach and it is found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Williamson is fined $200.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 5, the PGG Wrightson 3-Year-Old Mobile Pace, an Information was filed by Mr Renault, alleging that Mr Williamson, the driver of “LAWRENCE”, “used his whip in contravention of the use of whip Regulations.”
Rule 869 provides as follows:
(2) 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.
The Use of the Whip Regulations provide:
(b) No horseman is permitted to use their whip in a striking motion on more than ten occasions inside the final 400 metres. This is inclusive of “backhanders” and the use applies to the horse, harness and/or sulky.
Mr Williamson admitted the breach and did not attend the hearing.
Mr Renault, with the aid of the video replays, stated Mr Williamson was in the parked position as the field passed the final 400m mark. He said that Mr Williamson used his whip 13 times. He said when spoken to, Mr Williamson admitted the breach, agreed to the number of strikes and did not wish to attend the hearing.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Renault stated Mr Williamson had a clear record of the whip rule inside the last 12 months, so this was his first breach of the rule under the new penalty guidelines. He said the number of strikes with the whip (13) fell inside the lower scale and he sought a fine of $200.
Reasons for Penalty:
Mr Williamson admitted the breach and had a clear record under the new whip guidelines. A fine at the lower end of the scale is appropriate.
