Carl Jamieson v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2003 CanLII 74624

Appeal of horse scratch dismissed; trainer responsible for meeting retention barn time limit despite traffic.

Standardbred trainer Carl Jamieson appealed the judges' decision to scratch his horse from a stakes race for arriving 10 minutes late to the retention barn.

The trainer argued that traffic delays justified an exception and that the deadline was merely a policy.

The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal, finding that the trainer was responsible for meeting the time limit, traffic delays were foreseeable, and the deadline was a clear condition of the race.
