Stewards noted that on returning to scale Apprentice B Harrison had weighed in at 0.4kg under her allocated weight. Stewards were satisfied that under AR209 (2)(b) the clerk of the scales by allowing Ms Harrison the 0.5kg that correct weight could be given.

Following the running of Race 4, Stewards were provided with photographic evidence that showed Apprentice B. Harrison on the scales weighing out for this event wearing her helmet/skull cap. Stewards subsequently held an inquiry and after hearing evidence from all parties, including the Clerk of the Scales Mr D MacDonald. Stewards acting under the provision of AR 227(a) charged Apprentice Harrison with negligence to which she entered a plea of not guilty. After hearing further evidence and submissions Stewards formerly found Apprentice B Harrison guilty of the offence. Stewards advised her that the helmet or skull cap is not part of the riders’ gear when weighing in or out and reasonably believe that this incident has contributed significantly and does support the reason as to why she weighed in 0.4kg under her allocated weight and therefore could have led to a breach of AR 209(2)(b).

Stewards outlined to Ms Harrison the serious nature of the offence, with the potential for her mount to be disqualified and lose its place the Country Stampede Final which would have serious ramifications for the trainer, owner and the Jockey.
