Charge:
Following the running of Race 4, the Speights McManus Hotel Pace, an Information was filed by Stipendiary Steward Mrs K. R. Williams against Open Horseman Mr P. T. Borcoskie alleging a breach of Rule 869(2)(a) in that he used his whip unnecessarily.

(a) use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.”

Mr Borcoskie had indicated on the Information that this breach of the Rules was admitted, and also that he did not wish to attend the hearing.
Mrs Williams gave evidence and used video coverage to show that Mr Borcoskie, the driver of “Anntoro” (17), had used his whip on several occasions from about the 300 metre mark when that horse had clearly dropped out of contention.
Submissions for Penalty:
In relation to penalty Mrs Williams advised that Mr Borcoskie had no relevant previous convictions, and as he had admitted the breach submitted that a fine of $200-00 should be imposed in this case.
Reasons for Penalty:
