The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an inquiry which was held at the offices of the Flamingo Park Racecourse on 25 April 2016, trainer J H Borman was charged with a contravention of Rule 39.7.5 in that he failed to vaccinate the horse BEANSTALK against Equine Influenza in accordance with the programme of vaccinations as published from time to time in the Racing Calendar.
Trainer Borman pleaded guilty to the charge and was found guilty of the charge.
The Board after considering all the evidence and factors presented in mitigation, ruled that trainer Borman be fined the sum of two thousand rand (R2000.00) of which one thousand rand (R1000.00) is wholly suspended for a period of twelve months on condition that trainer Borman is not found guilty of a contravention of this rule during that period.
Trainer Borman has the right of appeal against the penalty imposed.
