Steward's report Flemington 21/07/2018
Apprentice Mitch Aitken pleaded guilty to a charge under the provisions of AR92(12) for failing to claim his full allowance in Race 2 (Linguist) and Race 4 (Credible Witness) and was fined $500. Mitch Aitken was 1kg over his declared minimum weight and this was Mitch Aitkens fourth offence this year under this rule.
Mitch Aitken pleaded guilty to a further charge of misconduct under the provisions of AR83a, the specifics of misconduct being:
(i) for disobeying a direction from a Steward to ensure he rides with the gear he weighs out with when weighing out to ride Credible Witness, and
(ii) after having weighed out to ride Credible Witness, he told a Steward a mis-truth regarding the riding gear he weighed out with. Mitch Aitken had his permit to ride in races suspended for a period to commence at midnight July 21st and to expire at midnight August 11th, a total of three weeks (twenty-one race meetings). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account his guilty plea and that he is an apprentice.
I have nothing more to say!
