Evidence
Following the running of Race 6, a charge of improper use of the whip was brought against Apprentice Rider Mr W Pinn by the Stewards. The Information alleged W Pinn (POSH POROTENE) used his whip in an excessive, unnecessary and improper manner on two occasions just prior to the finish line.
Mr Pinn, assisted by Apprentice Mentor Ms Clapperton, requested an adjournment of the hearing. Ms Clapperton said she had rung Mr Miller to whom Mr Pinn is apprenticed, and he had asked her to seek an adjournment. The charge is of a serious nature and needs to be taken seriously. Mr Miller would need time to look at the incident and speak with Mr Pinn before proceeding.
The Adjudicative Committee took into account the reasons provided and considered it appropriate to grant an adjournment. The hearing will be heard at a mutually convenient date, with the time and place to be advised by the RIB.
