Decision:

As the breach was admitted, we find the charge proved.

Penalty:

The committee considered all of the above facts and accordingly imposed a fine of $150.

Charge:

Excessive use of whip.

Facts:

Following Race 3, an information was filed pursuant to rule 638(3) (b). The informant, Mr Coles alleged that Mr McDonald used the whip excessively on his mount SLOSHED.

Submissions for Decision:

Mr Coles demonstrated the video films and pointed out Mr McDonald striking his mount 12 times before the 200 metres without giving the required respite.

Mr McDonald said that he was just trying his best on the favourite and miscounted the number of strikes he had given his mount.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Coles said that this was Mr McDonald's first charge under this rule and submitted that a fine of $150 - $200 would be appropriate.

Reasons for Penalty:

In assessing penalty, the committee takes into account that this is Mr McDonald's first charge under this rule, his admission of the breach and the relatively low number of strikes outside the guidelines he has given his mount.
