Race 5 & 6
Rule 869 (2) (a)
Judicial Chairman N Skelt Committee A Dennis
Plea Admitted
Appearing Informant : Mr P T Knowles, Stipendiary Steward
Defendant : Mr A W Kyle
Following the running of Race 6, The RKBM Ltd (Local Meadowfresh Milkmen) Fillies and Mares Mobile Pace, an information # 67432 was laid by Stipendiary Steward Mr P Knowles alleging a breach of Rule 869 (2) (a) in that Mr A W Kyle used his whip excessively in Race 5 (BAD MAN RISING) and Race 6 (IMA LOCH) over the final 300m.
--Mr Kyle admitted the breach in both instances.
--Rule 869 (2) (a) reads : No horseman shall during any race (a) Use his whip in an unnecessary, excessive or improper manner.
--Mr Knowles used video film to demonstrate where in Race 5 Mr Kyle had used the whip approximately 26 times continuously from the 250m mark, and again used video film of the final 300m of Race 6 to illustrate where Mr Kyle had used the whip approximately 24 times. Mr Knowles explained to the Committee that he felt that in both instances Mr Kyle had used the whip excessively.
--Mr Kyle admitted both offences and in offering some explanation for the second offence, explained that the horse (IMA LOCH) was very lazy and needed constant reminders to keep his ‘mind on the job’.
--Before considering penalty, the Committee asked Mr Knowles for Mr Kyle’s previous driving record and for a suggested range of penalties. Mr Knowles said that to his knowledge Mr Kyle had had no similar offence over the past 12 months and that he was seeking a suspension or a fine at the higher end of the scale ($400) – stating that this was two offences of a similar nature in consecutive races.
--Mr Kyle stated that his preference was for a fine.
--DECISION
--After adjourning to consider its decision, the Committee decided to suspend Mr Kyle from driving up to and including 28 January 2010, effectively five meetings in Otago / Southland. The Committee was satisfied that the gravity of the combined breaches of the Rule necessitated a suspension of five race days.
