Meet Title:

Meet Chair:

Meet Committee Member 1:
ADooley
Race Date:
2017/12/19
Race Number:
R1
Decision:
The breach is admitted and the charge is therefore upheld.
Penalty:
This Committee imposes a fine of $350.00 on Mr Innes.
Facts:
Following the running of the SUPPORT ST JOHN BREAM BAY, an Information was lodged by Stipendiary Steward, Mr A Coles against Class A Rider Mr L Innes alleging that Mr Innes used his whip excessively prior to the 100 metres when riding DRAGON STORM.
The charge was brought to the Committee after the last Race.
The Guidelines with Respect to Acceptable Use of the Whip that apply from the 1st of August 2017 provide:
Without affecting the generality of Rule 638(3)(b) Riders may be penalised if their whip use is outside of the following guidelines:
Inside the final 600 metres of any Race, official trial or jump-out a horse may be struck with the whip up to 5 times after which the rider must cease their use of the whip for a minimum of 5 strides before striking the horse again with the drawn whip, with this restriction to apply prior to the 100 metres. The whip may then be used at the rider's discretion until the winning post is reached.
Prior to the final 600 metres of a race, official trial or jump-out the use of the whip is acceptable if used in moderation and not continually.
Mr Innes did not wish to be present at the hearing and he advised the Committee that he admitted the breach.
Senior Stipendiary Steward, Mr M Williamson demonstrated the incident by use of the race films and showed where Mr Innes struck his horse 13 times without the required respite. He also pointed out that Mr Innes won the race.
Submissions for Penalty:
Mr Coles advised that this was Mr Innes' first breach of this Rule under the new Guidelines and that the appropriate fine is one of $300.00.
Reasons for Penalty:
The aggravating factor is the number of strikes and the fact that there wasn't the proper respite. The Committee believes that an uplift in the fine is warranted.
In terms of the current Policy and Guidelines the admission of the breach and a good record are not matters to be taken in mitigation.
