Meet Title:
Racing Te Aroha - 17 February 2012
Meet Chair:
ADooley
Meet Committee Member 1:
AGodsalve
Race Date:
2012/02/17
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
As Mr Parish admitted the breach we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
After taking all the above factors into account we impose a fine of $150.
Charge:
Following race 4 an information was filed pursuant to Rule 638(3)(b). The informant Mr Coles alleged that Mr Parish used the whip on the horse HOBO in a manner that was unnecessarily.
Facts:
Mr Williamson demonstrated the incident using the video films and pointed out to the committee that the HOBO was racing towards the rear of the field with 600 metres to run. He highlighted to the committee that between the 400 metres and the 200 metre mark, Mr Parish struck his mount strongly at least 8 times noting the horse was not responding to the whip. He believed Mr Parish erred in continuing to ride his mount forward in the final 100 metres when clearly out of contention.
Mr Parish in admitting the breach said HOBO was a lazy horse and he had been instructed by the Trainer to make the horse try hard by using the whip. He realised upon viewing the films he had made a mistake.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Coles said Mr Parish had a clear record under this rule and submitted a fine of $150 to $200 would be appropriate. He reminded the committee that HOBO was well out of contention when Mr Parish used the whip unnecessary.
Mr Parish when asked for submissions on penalty said he had financial difficulties and asked the committee to consider a suspension rather than a fine.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all the evidence and submissions presented. The mitigating factors are Mr Parish's admission of the breach and his clear record under this rule. We assess the breach to be at the low end of the scale. However the committee reminded Mr Parish he was responsible for his own actions when riding in a race and he must comply with the Rules of Racing. We advised Mr Parish that any further breach of this rule would result in a higher fine or in his financial position a suspension.
