Meet Title:
Wanganui TC - 19 December 2010
Meet Chair:
ISmith
Meet Committee Member 1:
NMcCutcheon
Race Date:
2010/12/19
Race Number:
R 4
Decision:
As Mr Fleming had admitted the breach the charge is proven.
Penalty:
The committee fine Mr Fleming the sum of $250.00.
Charge:
Following race 4 an information was lodged under rule 869 (2) (a) in that P Fleming the driver of Broadway used his whip excessively on his horse during the run home.
Rule 869(2) (a)
(2) No horseman shall during any race; (a) use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.
Facts:
Mr Taumanu used the head on video film to show the committee where in the home straight Mr Fleming upon straightening proceeded to whip his horse, approximately twenty two times prior to the finish line. There was no pause or stop at any time, confirming this was excessive use of the whip.
Mr Fleming stated he had leased this horse out, and it had shown no form over several starts and in his opinion was cheating. Today he had driven it aggressively to prove that it had ability.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Taumanu stated Mr Fleming has not been before the stewards under this rule, and as a first offender the stewards asked for a penalty in the region of $200-$250.
Mr Fleming when asked had no comment on penalty.
Reasons for Penalty:
The committee in reaching their decision has taken into account all evidence presented by both parties. Mitigating circumstances for Mr Fleming were his early admission of the matter, and that this is his first offence. The aggravating factor in this case is the nature with which Mr Fleming used the whip. This was clearly outside the guidelines and the committee impose a monetary penalty.
