Meet Title:
Manawatu HRC - 5 November 2016
Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
TUtikere
Race Date:
2016/11/05
Race Number:
R 2
Decision:
As the charge was admitted it was deemed proved.
Penalty:
Mr Dickson you are fined $300.
Facts:
After the running of race 2 at Manawatu (the Martin Beveridge Painters Mobile Pace) horseman Mr S Dickson admitted a breach of rule 869 (3) (B) in that he drove SUNDARA carelessly causing interference to SOLDIER (G Martin) near the 1700 metres resulting in that runner breaking and losing all chance.
Rule 869 (3) (B) reads: No horseman in any race shall drive carelessly. Mr Dickson confirmed that he understood the charge and the rule.
Mr Mulcay took the committee through the incident using the available films. Mr Dickson's drive was travelling at the back of the field when he looked to improve. SOLDIER (Mr Martin's drive) was improving down on his inside where he was entitled to be. Mr Dickson's movement onto Mr Martin's line caused his sulky's wheel to clip SOLDIER'S hind legs causing it to break. It galloped and was then pulled up. Mr Dickson agreed he may have come out a little but believed there was plenty of room for both horses.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Mulcay told the committee that Mr. Dickson's record is good. He was fined $250 for a breach of the rule at Stratford in February. Although it was Mr Dickson's second breach of the rule he asked for a monetary penalty or a two day suspension to be imposed. He believed the breach was at the lower end of the scale and Mr Dickson should be given credit for his admittance. He added that while the incident did cause SOLDIER to break, gallop and then be pulled up he pointed out that SOLDIER was down to start in race 7 on the programme and felt that may have had a bearing in SOLDIER being pulled up. Mr Dickson had no comment.
Reasons for Penalty:
In coming to its decision to pose a fine for the breach the committee took into account Mr Dickson's admittance and the belief that the breach was at the lower end of the scale. Mr Dickson's record was good and this should be reflected in a monetary penalty.
