ID: JCA18170
Meet Title:
Morrinsville TC - 16 January 2011
Meet Chair:
BRowe
Meet Committee Member 1:
JHolloway
Race Date:
2011/01/16
Race Number:
R 7
Decision:
As the breach was admitted the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Balancing the above matters but with emphasis on the fact that this is Mr Gillies first breach of this rule and also that he is only driving infrequently, a fine of $250 is imposed.
Charge:
Horseman G Gillies used his whip excessively and/or drew his whip further back than the sulky seat when driving ANZAC PARADE over the concluding stages.
Mr Gillies did not wish to be present at the hearing.
Facts:
Mr Taumanu showed the video film of the last 130 metres of the race. He said Mr Gillies struck his horse continuously with his whip on 14 occasions. On some occasions Mr Gillies drew the whip back past his shoulder and most of the blows were forceful.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu said Mr Gillies had returned from Australia about 3 months ago and had about 6 drives since then. He said Mr Gillies had a clear driving record and he viewed the offending as above mid range. He said the recommended starting point for penalty was a fine of $250 or a one week suspension. He submitted that a fine of $300 - $350 was appropriate.
Mr Gillies endorsed the information that he would prefer a suspension rather than a fine.
The Registrar Mrs C Shaw informed the committee Mr Gillies preferred a suspension due to his personal circumstances.
Reasons for Penalty:
In fixing penalty the committee takes into account the admission of the breach, the submissions of Mr Taumanu and Mr Gillies, the clear driving record of Mr Gillies, the recommended starting point and the fact that Mr Gillies at present is only driving infrequently. The committee views the offending as above mid range.
