In assessing penalty, the Board considered the number of times (13) Jockey D Dillon struck the horse GIAMBATTISTA, the distance over which and manner in which he used his crop and his record (0) in relation to this Rule. Accordingly, a penalty of a fine of R750 was imposed. c) ADMIRAL BIRNHAM (K de Melo), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis.
