Meet Title:
Rangiora HRC - 22 September 2011
Meet Chair:
JPhelan
Meet Committee Member 1:
SChing
Race Date:
2011/09/22
Race Number:
R4
Decision:
As Mr Dunn had admitted this breach it was found to be proved in accordance with Rule 1111(1)(d).
Penalty:
Mr Dunn was fined the sum of $150-00.
Charge:
Alleged gear change without notification.
Facts:
Stipendiary Steward Mr A. L. Ray filed an information against Licensed Trainer Mr R. J. Dunn alleging a breach of Rule 865(2). It was alleged that Mr Dunn, the trainer of “Mach Banner” (8), which started in Race 4, the Peter Rennell Memorial Handicap Pace, presented his horse without the notified pull down blinds.
The charge reads as follows.
“I the abovenamed informant allege that the abovenamed Defendant committed a breach of Rule 865(2) in that you failed to notify that “Mach Banner” would be presented without pull down blinds.”
Rule 865(2) reads as follows.
“(2) Every horse entered in a totalisator race shall be presented in the assembly area prior to the race in the same notifiable gear as that notified under sub-rule (1).”
Mr J. R. Dunn, as agent for Mr R. J. Dunn, had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted and also that he did not wish to attend the hearing.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Ray gave evidence regarding the non-notification of this gear change as set out in the Information.
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty Mr Ray advised that a breach of Rule 865(2) was usually dealt with under the Minor Infringement Notice system. However, this was Mr Dunn’s fourth breach of this Rule since 12 October 2010, and under the provisions of Rule 1105A(3)(c) it was necessary to file an Information on this occasion. Mr Ray pointed out that two of these previous breaches occurred in October 2010, which is nearly a year ago. As this was Mr Dunn’s fourth breach of this Rule in the last 365 days Mr Ray submitted that a fine of $150-00 should be imposed in this case.
Reasons for Penalty:
In considering the matter of an appropriate penalty we took into account that this was Mr Dunn’s fourth conviction under this Rule in the last 365 days, but we also took into account that two of these breaches occurred nearly a year ago. This is an unacceptable record by Mr Dunn. We decided that a fine of $150-00 would be appropriate in this case.
