SUBMISSION(s) ON PENALTY:

--

Mr Oatham stated that K Collins has no previous charge under this rule. It is clearly not the worst offence and the stewards regard it at the lowest end of the scale and seek a penalty by way of a fine in the range of $150 to $200.

--

 

--

Mr Collins stated due to the heavy track he was trying to give the horse and its owners every chance. Mr Collins had nothing to add in regard to the penalty.
