Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Goodwin showed the relevant film replays and said that Miss Chiong had hit her horse 13 times prior to the 200m without any respite.
Mr Whiterod said that Miss Chiong’s record showed that she had had two previous fines for excessive use of the whip; The first being on 27 July 2013 (fined $150) the second being on 21 September 2013 (fined $250). He submitted that a fine be imposed on this occasion.
Mrs Zimmerman on behalf of Miss Chiong said that Miss Chiong got over-excited as she thought she was going to win the race. She added that if she had have cuddled her mount up and had not used the whip as much her horse may have gone better. She said that they preferred a fine as opposed to a suspension.
Miss Chiong declined an invitation to comment regarding penalty.
