ID: JCA18141
Meet Title:
Manawatu HRC - 21 May 2019
Meet Chair:
NMcCutcheon
Race Date:
2019/05/21
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
As the charge was admitted it was deemed to be proved.
Penalty:
Mr Abernethy was fined $200.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 4 (Roydon Williams Photography Mobile Pace) Information No. A10270 was filed with the Judicial Committee. It was alleged by the Informant that Mr Abernethy attempted to shift RED RIVER DASH outwards inside the 800m which resulted in the mare breaking and losing some lengths.
Mr Abernethy said that he knew the Rule and confirmed that he admitted the breach.
The films were shown with Mr Mulcay identifying horse and Driver. He said that inside the 800m Mr Abernethy attempted to shift out when there was insufficient room to do so and as a consequence his horse made contact with KATAMACH’s sulky, became unbalanced and broke.
Mr Abernethy said that he admitted the breach, that his horse only lost a little ground and that it made no difference to his finishing position.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Mulcay said that the JCA Penalty Guideline for such a breach was a fine of $300. He said that Mr Abernethy had a clear record and that the mitigating features were the admission of the breach and that his horse did not lose very much ground.
Mr Abernethy said that Mr Mulcay had covered the matter very well and had nothing further to add.
Reasons for Penalty:
The Committee took into account that Mr Abernethy had a good record and that no other runner was affected by his shift. His admission of the breach was also a mitigating feature. Taking all those matters into consideration it was determined that a discount from the JCA Penalty Guideline starting point of a $300 fine was justified.
