Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Waikato RC - 18 August 2012
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2012/08/18
Race Number:
R2
Decision:
As the breach was admitted we find the charge proved.
Penalty:
Accordingly after taking all the above into account we impose a fine of $250.
Charge:
Weight Charge
Facts:
Following race 2 an information was filed pursuant to rule 330 (3) (c). The informant Mr J Oatham alleged that Mr L Innes failed to make the contracted weight for MIDNIGHT VAN DAMME in Race 2.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Oatham told the committee that Mr Innes approached the stewards 15 minutes prior to race 1 to inform them he would be 1kg over the card weight of 54 kgs for his mount in race 2. He was subsequently replaced by Mr M Du Plessis.
Mr Innes explained that his manager took the mount on MIDNIGHT VAN DAMME for him at 54 kgs. The connections informed him they would be happy if he was 1/2 kg over this weight on race day. Mr Innes had suffered from a cold all week and being midwinter he always had trouble shedding weight. In answer to a question from the committee Mr Innes confirmed he agreed to take the ride at 54 kgs as he was aware he had a 1/2 kg allowance over the carded weight.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Oatham said this was Mr Innes' 3rd weight charge in the last 6 weeks. However he said Mr Innes was not a natural light weight and conceded it was harder to lose weight in the winter months. Mr Oatham did not consider this to be a serious breach and submitted a fine of $200 - $300 would be appropriate.
Mr Innes had nothing to add regarding penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee carefully considered all evidence and submissions. Mitigating factors are Mr Innes' admission of the breach, his knowledge that he could ride at 1/2 kg over if necessary and that he had been suffering from a bad cold all week. However this is his third charge in the last 6 weeks which must be reflected in an appropriate penalty.
