Race Date:

Race Number:
R6
Decision:
As Mr Payne had admitted this breach of the Rules it was found to be proved in accordance with Rule 1111(1)(d).
Penalty:
Mr Payne was fined the sum of $200.
Facts:
Following the running of Race 6, the (SBSR) Macca Lodge, Toddy Breeding, Duncraigen Farm Mobile Pace, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mr S Renault against Open Horseman Mr R Payne, the driver of KARDESLER alleging a breach of Rule 857(7)(e) in that he crossed over before reaching the starting point.
Rule 857(7)(e) reads as follows –
(7) No horseman shall:-
(e) cross over before reaching the starting point;
Mr Payne had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted and he confirmed this at the hearing. Mr Payne had also informed the Stewards that he did not wish to be present at the hearing.
Mr Renault gave evidence and used video coverage to show that Mr Payne, driving KARDESLER, had drawn 6 on the front line in this 1950m mobile start race. He stated that in the score up to the start, KARDESLER, began to pace roughly and was back from the barrier arm when the mobile barrier was in the final stages of the score up. Mr Renault said that just prior to the start being declared, Mr Payne, steered KARDESLER, down the track into a position directly behind the horse drawn 5 at the barrier, BETTOR BE NOISY, driven by Miss K Cox. He stated that Mr Payne had clearly crossed over prior to the starting point and was in breach of the rule.
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty it was established that Mr Payne had a clear record in relation to this rule. Mr Renault stated that the JCA penalty guide indicated a fine of $250 for a breach of this rule and submitted a fine in a range of $150 to $200 be considered as penalty in this case.
Reasons for Penalty:
In considering the matter of an appropriate penalty we took into account Mr Payne’s ready admission of the breach and his good record. In taking the JCA Penalty Guide of a starting point of $250 for a breach of this rule we were able to give Mr Payne a discount of $50 for his admission of the breach and his good record. We therefore determined that a fine of $200 was an appropriate penalty in this case.
