Decision:

As Mr Kyle has admitted the breach, it is found to be proved.

Penalty:

Mr Kyle is fined the sum of $200 as per the Penalty Guide.

 

Facts:

Mr Munro alleged that Mr Kyle (MAN I’M GOOD) struck his horse free of the rein.

Miss Haley demonstrated on the video that Mr Kyle, who was on the rails, used his whip with one hand free of the reins.

Mr Munro commented that Mr Kyle had crossed his hands and had used the whip free of the rein on two occasions.

Mr Kyle said he realised just short of the winning post what he had done and said it was the first time for a while that the horse had a chance of running in the money and he had simply forgotten for the moment about the new Rule.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Munro produced the Respondent’s record which was clear under the whip Rule. He described Mr Kyle as a hobby trainer/driver. He had had 15 drives this season and 36 the last. He described the breach as low end.

Mr Kyle did not disagree with this.

Reasons for Penalty:

The breach is low end and Mr Kyle’s record under this Rule is very good this past 12 months.
