ID: JCA15520
Meet Title:
NZ Metro TC - 14 November 2017
Meet Chair:
GHall
Meet Committee Member 1:
RMcKenzie
Race Date:
2017/11/14
Race Number:
R 5
Decision:
Mr DeFilippi admitted the breach and thus the breach is found proved.
Penalty:
Mr DeFilippi is suspended from the end of racing on 17 November 2017 up to and including 2 December. This is 3 days — Banks Peninsula 26 November, Addington 1 December and Oamaru 2 December.
Facts:
Mr Ydgren alleged that Mr DeFilippi used his whip excessively in race 5 the RNP HOMES LTD MOBILE PACE.
Rule 869 provides as follows:
(2) No horseman shall during any race:
(a) use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.
The Use of Whip Guidelines (effective from 1 December 2016) provide:
The whip shall not be used more than 10 times in the last 400 metres of a race, otherwise this will be deemed excessive use pursuant to these Guidelines.
Mr DeFilippi indicated on the information that he admitted the breach and did not wish to be present.
Mr Ydgren demonstrated on the videos that the respondent was racing 3 back on the inner. In the last 250 metres there were 12 strikes to his horse SANS LE SOU. Mr Ydgren said the respondent accepted the count and had offered no explanation.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Ydgren produced Mr DeFilippi’s record, which evidenced breaches of this rule on 26 March and 28 May last.
Reasons for Penalty:
We agree that there are 12 strikes free of the rein.
Mr DeFilippi's most recent breach of this rule was on 28 May last. This is within the 6 month reset period and thus the starting point is a 3 to 5 day suspension.
The number of strikes is just above the threshold. A penalty at the lower end of the range is thus appropriate.
We take a 3-day starting point and make no alteration to this. Mr DeFilippi has requested a deferment until after Showday.
