ADDITIONAL REPORTS :

RE: APPEAL FROM TRAINER DALLAS TODYWALLA AGAINST THE DECISION OF THE STEWARDS OF THE CLUB IN RESPECT OF A FINE OF RS.50,000/- IMPOSED ON HIM - ELECTROCUTION OF “SOUL SPEAK” IN YOUR YARD

The Board of Appeal at its meeting held on 13^th September 2015 considered the Appeal lodged by Trainer Dallas Todywalla.

The Board of Appeal having studied all the documents and papers that were submitted and having heard the submissions made by Tr.Dallas Todywalla, deliberated the matter at length and having applied their minds to the entire facts of the case, the Board noted that he should have examined the wiring at his stables when he had shifted to Pune and that he had admitted that the Electrical fitting was carried out by a private electrician which was in breach of the Notice published in the Racing Calendar. The Board observed that the safety of horses is of paramount importance and a Trainer should be able to pre-empt it. The Board was seized of the fact that the wire bitten by the horse was damaged due to it being too old and repaired many times which had weakened it.
Therefore the Board decided to reject his Appeal. However, looking to the peculiar nature of the case, the Board decided to refund his Appeal Deposit.
