Enquiries (Dalgleish, Ewart, Sedgefield, Newcastle) to be heard by the Disciplinary Panel on Thursday 18 December
In absence - Keith Dalgleish
The Disciplinary Panel of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) will hold an enquiry on Thursday 18 December 2014 into an alleged breach of (C)13 in that Keith Dalgleish, a licensed trainer, failed to detail all the necessary information relating to the treatments administered to HAYHAR Z whilst under his care and control.
The Panel will also consider whether or not Dalgleish was in breach of Rule (C)22 by virtue of the fact that in failing to ensure that section IX of a horse’s passport was signed if it received treatments of phenylbutazone whilst under his care or control, he fell below the reasonable standard of care and skill BHA expects of its Licensed Trainers.
In absence - James Ewart
The Disciplinary Panel of the BHA will hold an enquiry on Thursday 18 December 2014 into the analysis of the urine ordered to be taken from ROCKAWANGO (FR), trained by James Ewart, by the Stewards at Hamilton after the gelding had finished second in the Neisland and Earnock Handicap Stakes on 2 September 2014. The sample tested positive for a prohibited substance, in breach of Rule (C)53 of the Rules of Racing. The Panel will consider whether or not to take action under Rule (A)74.2 of the Rules of Racing in respect of the possible disqualification of the gelding.
The urine taken from ROCKAWANGO (FR) was found to contain methylprednisolone, which is a prohibited substance on raceday.
The Panel will also consider whether or not Ewart committed a breach of Rule (C)13 in that he had failed to enter into his medication records the full details of the treatments administered to ROCKAWANGO (FR).
1.00pm - Sedgefield Racecourse
The Disciplinary Panel of the BHA on Thursday 18 December 2014 will hold an enquiry to consider whether or not Arena Racecourse Company, the Managing Executive of Sedgefield Racecourse, committed a breach of Rule (F)15.2.3 of the Rules of Racing, in light of BHA General Instruction 3.7 paragraph 1, headed “Possible Hazard Warnings and Stop Race Procedures”, in that the fence attendant responsible for signalling to the runners in Race 3 at Sedgefield on 25 November 2014 that fence 3 was to be bypassed, erroneously waived a yellow ‘stop-race’ flag rather than the black and white chequered ‘by-passing’ flag. The consequence of the incorrect flag being waived was the voiding of the race by the racecourse Stewards.
2.00pm - Newcastle Racecourse
The Disciplinary Panel of the BHA on Thursday 18 December 2014 will hold an enquiry to consider whether or not Arena Racecourse Company, the Managing Executive of Newcastle Racecourse, committed a breach of Rule (F)15.3.4 of the Rules of Racing, in that by failing to fill the holes and repair the ground properly following the removal of the third-last hurdle prior to the running of the STP Construction Maiden Open National Hunt Flat Race (Race 7) at Newcastle on 14 November 2014 the Executive failed to carry out its responsibility to ensure that the course was maintained in good condition.
