Race Date:
2011/10/21
Race Number:
R6
Decision:
Mr Bagrie having admitted the breach, the charge was found proved.
Penalty:
Mr Bagrie was fined the sum of $200.
Charge:
Careless driving
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, Canterbury Aluminium Pace, an information was filed by Stipendiary Steward, Mr N G McIntyre, against Licensed Junior Driver, Mr T D Bagrie, alleging a breach of Rule 869 (3) (b) in that Mr Bagrie, as the driver of CODE RED in the race, “at about the 1300 metres when attempting to shift his runner outwards struck the sulky of PEGLEG WEBB (R T May) causing his horse CODE RED to falter and cause interference to other horses”.
Mr Bagrie was present at the hearing of the information and he indicated that he admitted the breach. He was assisted at the hearing by Licensed Open Horseman, Mr D J Dunn.
Rule 869 provides as follows:
(3) No horseman in any race shall drive:-
(b) carelessly.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr McIntyre said that, near the 1300 metres, Mr Bagrie driving CODE RED attempted to shift from the markers out on to the back of the eventual winner, PEGLEG WEBB. However, in doing so, CODE RED contacted the sulky of PEGLEG WEBB resulting in CODE RED breaking. As a result, STERLING LUSTRE (S J Ottley), which was racing directly behind, and SALEM (S F Golding) were checked.
Mr S W Wallis, Stipendiary Steward, showed a video replay of the incident. Mr McIntyre pointed out Mr Bagrie racing 6-deep on the markers. Runners on his outside progressed out and forward and Mr Bagrie attempted to fill the gap but ran into the back of Mr May, Mr McIntyre said. He pointed out the other two runners receive interference.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr McIntyre said that Mr Bagrie had no previous breaches. He is a relatively inexperienced Junior Driver – this drive being only his 4th raceday drive. Mr Bagrie would learn from this experience, he said. The breach was in the low to mid range and Mr Bagrie’s inexperience should be taken into account. Mr McIntyre submitted that a fine of $200-250 was appropriate.
Mr Dunn, on behalf of Mr Bagrie, said that Mr Bagrie accepted that he had driven carelessly but he stressed Mr Bagrie’s inexperience. Mr Dunn said that driving conditions were “terrible” with poor visibility. He said that Mr Bagrie’s “game plan” was right but the execution was not. Mr Dunn agreed with Mr McIntyre that Mr Bagrie would learn from the experience. Neither was the horse the most tractable horse to drive, Mr Dunn said.
Mr Anderson said that he had tried to do a bit too much in the circumstances and his is goggles were fogged up and dirty.
Reasons for Penalty:
In determining penalty, the Committee took into account Mr Bagrie’s admission of the breach and his inexperience. It also took into account the weather and track conditions, which made driving difficult. The Committee accepted Mr McIntyre’s submission that the breach was in the low to mid range.
