The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an inquiry held in Port Elizabeth on 21 October 2015, Owner Mrs A M Kacnis was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.15.
This was as a result of her submitting to the National Horseracing Authority a false or misleading ‘registration of ownership for the racehorse’ TIGRESS POEM, when registering the new ownership which is required to be registered in terms of the Rules.
This occurred on 21 April 2015 at the offices of The National Horseracing Authority of the Eastern Cape.
Mrs Kacnis pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Inquiry Board found Mrs Kacnis guilty of the charge and imposed a fine of R10 000, of which R5 000 is wholly suspended for a period of 2 years, on condition that she is not found guilty of a contravention of Rule 72.1.15 in the said period.
Mrs Kacnis has the right of appeal against the penalty imposed.
