Facts:
Following the running of Race 3, the STAPLES RODWAY TAURANGA HANDICAP TROT 2100m, an Information instigating a Protest was produced by Mr Mulcay against the placing of the 5th horse at the finish, FRANCO NADAL. Mr Mulcay alleged that FRANCO NADAL broke in excess of 50 metres inside the final 200 metres of the race.
Mr Schumacher was not present at the hearing, however he noted on the Information that he did not contest the Protest and that he did not wish to be present at the hearing.
Rule 870(3) provides that 'Any horse which breaks from its gait shall promptly regain its proper gait'.
The Breaking Horses Regulations (b) provide that 'Any horse which breaks from its gait within the final 200 metres of any race and continues on in the break for a distance of 50 metres or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of Rule 870(3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its gait.
Submissions for Decision:
Using the films Mr Mulcay identified the horse FRANCO NADAL as it entered the final 200 metres of this race. Shortly after, the horse went off-stride and galloped until the finish, a distance considerably more than 50 metres. The horse finished in 5th placing for which there was prizemoney.
Driver Mr Schumacher, who represented the connections of the horse, did not contest the Protest.
Reasons for Decision:
As the Protest was not contested the Committee upheld it.
