Licensee's appeal of fine for smoking and suspension for obnoxious behaviour dismissed.
The licensee appealed two Stewards' rulings: a $50 fine for smoking in a non-designated area and a 15-day suspension for using profanities and acting obnoxiously at a hearing.
The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeals, finding the licensee admitted to the inappropriate behaviour and that witness testimony supported the smoking violation.
The Commission upheld the penalties and strongly recommended the licensee seek anger management treatment.
