Rules 869(4), (6)(b) and (c) relating to the “push out” rule reads as follows.
“(4) No horseman shall during any race do anything which interferes or is likely to interfere with his own horse and/or any other horse or its progress.

(b) a horse making a forward movement during any race shall not be forced to race wider on the track;
(c) a horse during a race shall not move ground outwards once the nose of the wider runner coming forward is in line with or past its sulky wheel and until the wider runner going forward is fully past.”

Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty Mrs Williams advised that Mr Rogers had no previous convictions for a breach of this Rule, and as it was admitted she submitted that a fine of $200-00 should be imposed.
Reasons for Penalty:
In considering the matter of an appropriate penalty we took into account that Mr Rogers had admitted the breach and also that he had no previous relevant convictions. On looking at the Penalty Guide and penalties imposed for similar breaches we decided that a fine of $200-00 should be imposed in this case.
