L. Todd

The appellant, a standardbred driver, appealed a decision affirming a 3-day driving suspension and a change in race placings for allegedly causing interference during a race.

The Ontario Racing Commission panel heard evidence from the allegedly aggrieved driver, who testified that his horse was not impeded by the appellant.

The panel found that the appellant did not cause interference, allowed the appeal, quashed the penalty, and restored the original race placings.
