Penalty: Jockey Dylan Turner - fined $300

Evidence:

Mr Turner was charged with a breach of Rule 330(3)(c) in that he failed to make the weight of 56 kilograms being the weight his mount “HARD TIMES” has been handicapped to carry – Race 2, the “BC @ BAILEYS REAL ESTATE TARANAKI 2000”.  He had to be replaced as Rider by Ms K Hercock.

Decision:

As Mr Turner admitted the breach, it was deemed proved.

Submissions for Penalty:

Mr Oatham advised that Mr Turner had incurred 2 previous breaches of this Rule in recent months, namely on 24 April 2022 (fined $150) and on 6 May 2022 (fined $200).

Mr Turner did not advance any submissions as to penalty.

Reasons for Penalty:

Because a Rider of another horse (handicapped to carry a lighter weight than was HARD TIMES) was unable to attend, Mr Turner in fact obtained the ride on that mount, and earned a riding fee.

Given his recent record, Mr Turner is fined $300.

Conclusion:

Mr Turner is fined $300.
