Meet Title:
Wanganui JC - 1 November 2012
Meet Chair:
ISmith
Meet Committee Member 1:
NMoffatt
Race Date:
2012/11/01
Race Number:
R 9
Decision:
As Mr Turner admitted the charge the committee find the charge proved.
Penalty:
On this occasion the committee fine Mr Turner $150.
Charge:
Breach of rule 638(3)(b)
Facts:
An information was filed by Stipendiary Steward G Whiterod, alleging Mr D Turner the rider of HIS PET used his whip unnecessarily when out of contention.
Mr Whiterod read rule; 638 (3) A rider shall not : (b) strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent which is unnecessary, excessive or improper;
Mr Whiterod explained to the committee where Mr Turner riding HIS PET, was well out of contention, he used his whip on at least six occasions which was clearly a breach of the rule in the Stewards’ opinion which was “unnecessary”.
Mr Neal proceeded to demonstrate the incident using the films available. The side and rear films clearly show Mr Turner has drifted off the back of the field, and is well out of contention with 250 metres to run. Shortly after entering the straight Mr Turner draws the whip and hits his horse behind the saddle six or seven times in quick succession. The Stewards’ regard Mr Turner’s use of the whip at that stage completely unnecessary. He was never in contention to finish in a stake bearing position.
Mr Turner stated HIS PET had been giving up halfway during her previous races, and he thought she may have run on a bit if he used his whip in the manner in which he did, which was the wrong thing to do.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Whiterod stated Mr Turner is a young rider and has a good record, but this was a blatant case of unnecessary use of the whip. To Mr Turner's credit he has freely admitted the breach at the earliest opportunity. The Stewards' submissions were for a penalty by way of a fine in the range of $200.
Mr Turner stated he thought the Stewards' submissions were fair and he would support them.
Reasons for Penalty:
In reaching a quantum of penalty the committee find Mr Turner’s actions were completely unnecessary at the stage of the race where he has used his whip when well out of contention. Mr Turner is a young rider early in his career with a clear record and has admitted the breach. As a deterrent the committee imposes a penalty by way of a fine.
