HEARING NOTES:

Further that she also was in excess of her agreed weight in Race 9 PETER PORTER. She was also overweight on ELLIS STREET in Race 10.
--Miss Tetzlaff admitted the breach.
--Stipendiary Steward Mr Ching stated that Miss Tetzlaff had been replaced riding PETER PORTER, however no jockeys were available that were suitable to ride ERBALBERT or ELLIS STREET. Miss Tetzlaff explained to the committee she was having difficulty controlling her riding weight. The stable had purchased some scales and Miss Tetzlaff was confident her weight was correct from the reading on the scales prior to race day. On arrival at the races it was established that the stable scales were in fact 1 ½ kg incorrect in their reading.
--Mr Pitman (Miss Tetzlaff's employer) confirmed Miss Tetzlaff's explanation, also stating that she had travelled from Riverton to Invercargill to have a sauna the day prior to the races, to ensure her riding weight would be correct.
--SUBMISSIONS ON PENALTY:
--Mr Ching stated that Miss Tetzlaff had two previous charges upheld under the same Rule within the past twelve months – 13.12.08. Southland Racing Club – Fined $75.00; and at the Riverton Racing Club 13.4.09. Fined $150.00
--Mr Ching suggested a range of penalty from $300 to $400. Mr Pitman said it was important that penalties were consistent and thought $300.00 would be fair, in line with other apprentice jockeys who had offended in recent times.
--DECISION:
--The Committee was satisfied that Miss Tetzlaff had made some effort to ensure her riding weight would be correct on race day, and we accept the reasons of explanation are genuine.
--We also give Mr Pitman credit as your employer for being pro-active with you regarding controlling your weight and meeting your professional obligations.
--In fixing penalty the Committee took into account that this breach of the Rule is the third in a short period of time and had inconvenienced owners, trainers and the betting public.
--Miss Tetzlaff was fined the sum of $350.00 and reminded of her professional obligations.
