Meet Chair:
PKnowles

Meet Committee Member 1:
MConway

Race Date:
2019/12/21

Race Number:
R 2

Decision:

Mr Hay admitted the charge and it is found proved.

Penalty:

Mr Hay is fined $200.

 

 

Facts:

Mr Hay was charged with a breach of r 869(2), in that he used his whip more than permitted under the Use of the Whip Regulations, when driving YOSSI in race 2.
Mr Munro, with the use of the videos, stated YOSSI was outside the leader on the home turn. He said Mr Hay drove his horse out to the finish, but in doing so was observed to strike his horse 12 times from that point to just prior to the finish line. He said Mr Hay used his whip in excess of the allowable limit.
Mr Hay said he had misjudged the number of times he had used the whip.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Munro produced Mr Hay’s record. He had had approximately 8200 lifetime drives, 55 last season and 37 to date this season. He had one previous breach of the Rule, but outside the six month reset period. He sought the mandatory fine ($200) for a first offence under the Whip Regulations.

Reasons for Penalty:

The breach is at the low end and the mandatory fine is appropriate.
