Race Date:

Race Number:
R 2
Decision:
The charge was found to be proved.
Penalty:
Miss Edmonds was fined the sum of $200.
Charge:
Alleged excessive use of the whip.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 2, the Christchurch Casino Mobile Pace, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr N G McIntyre, against Junior Horsewoman, Miss A D Edmonds, alleging a breach of Rule 869(2)(a) in that she used her whip excessively.
The charge reads as follows:
“I the above named informant allege that the above named Respondent committed a breach of Rule 869(2)(a) (in that) you used your whip in a manner deemed to be excessive whilst driving out “Flyover” in the run home.”
Rule 869(2)(a) reads as follows:
“(2) No horseman shall during any race:-
(a) use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.”
Miss Edmonds is a Junior Horsewoman and she was assisted during the Stipendiary Stewards’ enquiry by Open Horseman Mr S. R. McNally. Miss Edmonds had indicated on the information that this breach was admitted, and Mr Ydgren advised that she had advised him that she did not wish to attend the hearing.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Ydgren gave evidence and used video coverage to show that Miss Edmonds had used her whip on about 19 occasions in the run home. It was accepted that some strikes were on the sulky shaft, but the strikes were “quick fire”.
Reasons for Decision:
As Miss Edmonds had admitted this breach, it was found to be proved in accordance with Rule 1111(1)(d).
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty, Mr Ydgren advised that Miss Edmonds had one previous relevant breach of this Rule back in February 2011 when she was fined $150, but that her overall record was good. As the breach was admitted, Mr Ydgren submitted that a fine of $200 should be imposed in this case.
Reasons for Penalty:
We took into account Miss Edmonds' relatively good record, and also her admission of the breach. Taking into account all these matters, we decided that a fine of $200 should be imposed in this case.
