ADooley

Race Date:

Decision:

As Mr Riddell admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved.

Penalty:

Mr Riddell was fined the sum of $250.

Facts:

Prior to the running of race 3, Golden Grain LTD 3 YO, an Information was filed pursuant to Rule 330 (3) (c). The Informant, Mr Oatham, alleged that Mr Riddell failed to make the weight for JAMES DEAN.

Mr Riddell endorsed the Information that he admitted the breach and he did not wish to be present at the hearing.

Rule 330(3)(c) provides: “A rider shall not fail to ride a horse at the weight at which it is handicapped to carry”.

Mr Oatham advised that Mr Riddell failed to make the handicapped weight of 57.5 kgs on JAMES DEAN. He said that Mr McKay was the replacement rider.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Oatham said that today was Mr Riddell’s 3rd breach of this Rule within the last 120 days. He said a small uplift from his previous $200 fine would be appropriate.

Reasons for Penalty:

The Committee considered all the evidence and submissions presented.

Mr Riddell has historically struggled with his weight during the winter season. Given that this is Mr Riddell’s 3rd breach within the last 120 days a modest uplift was warranted.
