The appellant, Aaron Waxman, appealed a decision of the Ontario Racing Commission Judges to freeze $12,500 in purse winnings accrued by his horse, Jinglejanglejingle.
The purse was frozen following the suspension of the appellant's brother, who previously co-owned the horse.
The Panel found that a bona fide transfer of ownership to the appellant had occurred prior to the races in question, and the Judges had not required prior approval for this transfer.
The appeal was allowed, and the appellant was entitled to the purse winnings.
