Appeal of $200 fine for being late to paddock dismissed after trainer admitted violation.

Justin Turcotte v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2011 CanLII 98287

Appeal of penalty for failing to attend a hearing dismissed, but fine reduced to $750.

The appellant, a standardbred driver, appealed a Deputy Director's ruling that fined him $1,000 and suspended him for 3 days for failing to attend a hearing pursuant to a summons.

The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal but varied the penalty, reducing the fine to $750 and adjusting the dates of the 3-day suspension, noting that the appellant had subsequently testified.

ORCMay 9, 2011

Re Rene Allard, 2011 CanLII 98282

At the hearing, the appellant admitted to the infraction.

The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal and upheld the fine.

ORCMay 9, 2011

Sandy Jones and James Marchment, 2011 CanLII 98230

Appeal of driver suspension and horse placing for interference dismissed.

The appellants, a standardbred driver and a trainer, appealed a Judges' Ruling that suspended the driver for three days for causing interference and placed their horse from third to fifth.

The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal, finding no new evidence or misinterpretation by the judges, and upheld the suspension and placing.

ORCMay 9, 2011

Randy Marriage v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2011 CanLII 98232

Licensee's suspension and fine for horse's positive drug test reduced due to mitigating circumstances.

The appellant, a standardbred licensee, appealed a one-year suspension and $5,000 fine imposed after his horse tested positive for methamphetamine and other drugs.

The appellant argued that the penalty was too harsh due to mitigating circumstances, noting that his brother, who had a history of substance abuse, had cared for the horse.

The Ontario Racing Commission found that while the violation was one of absolute liability, the mitigating factors—including the appellant's cooperation, clean record, and remorse—warranted a reduction.

The appeal was allowed, the suspension was reduced to two months with the remainder stayed, and the fine was reduced to $2,500.

ORCApr 28, 2011

Michael Wright Jr. v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2011 CanLII 98275

Request to upgrade conditional trainer's licence denied due to current suspension and lack of merit.

The licensee appealed to the Ontario Racing Commission to upgrade his conditional trainer's private licence to a public owner/trainer's licence.

He argued that it was difficult to find employment as a private trainer and he was unwilling to work as an assistant trainer.

The Administration opposed the request, noting that the licensee was currently under suspension for a positive drug test.

The Panel denied the request, finding that economic hardship is not a sufficient reason for re-licensing and that the request bordered on frivolous given his current suspension.

ORCApr 19, 2011

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, 2011 CanLII 100432

Appeal of racetrack licence conditions requiring parent company financial disclosure dismissed as reasonable and necessary.

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC) appealed the terms and conditions of its racetrack licences for Flamboro Downs and Georgian Downs, which required cooperation with financial examinations of GCGC and its associated companies.

The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal, finding that the Director has the jurisdiction to impose such conditions under the Racing Commission Act.

The panel held that full financial disclosure of the parent company is necessary to understand the operations of the subsidiaries and to properly discharge the Director's regulatory duties.

ORCMar 21, 2011

Ontario Harness Horse Association et al., 2011 CanLII 100433

Appeals against race date reductions and purse redistribution under the new racing Framework dismissed.

The Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA), Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC), and the Northern Horsemen's Association (NHA) appealed the Director's decisions regarding the 2011 Ontario Racing Program.

OHHA and GCGC challenged the reduction of race dates and the redistribution of purse funds under the newly implemented Race Date Framework.

The Commission upheld the Director's decisions regarding race dates and purse redistribution, finding that the Framework was a necessary, industry-wide strategy to revitalize standardbred racing by aligning horse supply with customer demand.

The NHA's appeal for additional December race dates at Sudbury Downs was granted in part to mitigate the hardship of a lengthy closed season.

ORCFeb 17, 2011

Ontario Harness Horse Association v. Director, 2011 CanLII 100434

Appeals regarding 2011 race dates and purse monies partially granted to vary Sudbury Downs schedule.

The Ontario Harness Horse Association, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, and the Northern Horsemen’s Association appealed the Director's decision regarding the 2011 Ontario Racing Program.

The appeals concerned the minimum number of race dates, scheduling, and redistribution of purse monies at certain racetracks.

The Ontario Racing Commission denied the appeals of OHHA and GCGC, but varied the decision for NHA by adding three race dates in December and dropping two dates for Sudbury Downs, resulting in 66 live race dates for 2011.

ORCJan 27, 2011

Ontario Racing Commission Administration v. Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA), 2011 CanLII 100429

Panel has jurisdiction to alter race dates within the Framework, but not to reverse the Framework itself.

The Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA) appealed the Director's decision regarding the Ontario Racing Program 2011.

The ORC Administration brought a motion to dismiss the appeal, arguing the Panel lacked jurisdiction to reverse the Commission's Policy Decision on the Framework.

The Panel ruled that while it has no jurisdiction to reverse the Framework as an ORC Policy, it does have jurisdiction to alter race dates within the Framework.

Therefore, the Panel has jurisdiction to hear the appeal on the merits and grant relief within the Framework.

ORCJan 14, 2011

Re Tommaso Marino, 2010 CanLII 99071

Consent stay of trainer licence restrictions granted pending hearing on the merits.

The licensee, a thoroughbred trainer, requested a stay of a Director's ruling that limited his licence to assistant trainer and placed him on probation for two years.

The Administration consented to the stay on the condition that a hearing on the merits be held no later than March 4, 2011.

The Chair of the Ontario Racing Commission granted the stay on those terms.

ORCDec 29, 2010

Isaac Waxman v. Ontario Racing Commission Administration, 2010 CanLII 98955

Appeal of standardbred driving licence downgrade denied; penalty deemed appropriate for safety and integrity.

The appellant, a standardbred licensee, appealed a ruling that downgraded his driving licence to a 'C' category, placed him on probation, and required anger management following an altercation with another licensee.

The Ontario Racing Commission denied the appeal, finding that the downgrade was appropriate to protect the safety of drivers and horses and the integrity of harness racing, given the appellant's record of driving violations.

ORCDec 24, 2010

Bruno Schickedanz v. Administration of the Ontario Racing Commission, 2010 CanLII 99113

Stay of suspension and fine granted on consent pending a hearing on the merits.

The licensee, Bruno Schickedanz, requested a stay of a Director's ruling that suspended his owner's licence for 12 months and imposed an $8,000 fine.

The Administration consented to the stay on the condition that a hearing on the merits be held no later than March 4, 2011.

The Chair of the Ontario Racing Commission granted the stay on those terms.

ORCDec 24, 2010

Jeffrey Snyder, 2010 CanLII 99075

Horse suspension for positive drug test cannot be applied retroactively; must commence upon official notice.

The appellant, a standardbred licensee, appealed a ruling that retroactively suspended his horse and ordered the redistribution of purse monies following a confirmed positive test for Darbepoetin-alpha (DPO/EPO).

The Commission allowed the appeal, finding that the 90-day ineligibility rule cannot be applied retroactively and must commence on the date the Commission receives official notice of the positive test result.

As the appellant had already served a de facto suspension by agreeing not to race the horse, no further penalty was imposed and the purse monies were not required to be redistributed.

ORCDec 23, 2010

Anantram Singh, 2010 CanLII 98966

Jockey fined and suspended after testing positive for marijuana in violation of post-violation agreement.

The licensee, a thoroughbred jockey, appealed a suspension issued after he tested positive for marijuana, violating his post-violation agreement.

The Ontario Racing Commission accepted a joint recommendation in part, varying the penalty to impose a $500 fine, a 12-month suspension with 10 months stayed, 40 hours of community service, and a two-year extension of his post-violation agreement.

ORCDec 17, 2010

Martin Goldman v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2010 CanLII 99066

Appeal of racing judges' decision dismissed where winning horse's break in stride and driver's celebration did not violate rules.

The appellant, owner of the second-place horse, appealed a decision of the Ontario Racing Commission Judges who found no violations requiring a placing after the winning horse broke stride at the start and its driver allegedly violated the whipping rule near the finish.

The Commission panel dismissed the appeal, finding that the Judges correctly interpreted and applied the rules of racing.

The driver of the winning horse lost ground while on the break and did not strike the horse with the whip when he raised it in celebration.

ORCNov 18, 2010

Walter Whelan v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2010 CanLII 98972

Trainer's suspensions and fines for horse's positive drug tests reduced to zero under strict liability defence.

The appellant, a standardbred licensee and trainer, appealed two rulings suspending him and imposing fines after a horse he trained tested positive for furosemide.

The Ontario Racing Commission heard expert testimony that the horse was a rare outlier unable to metabolize the drug normally, and that the appellant had done everything possible to comply with the rules.

The Commission granted the appeal and reduced the fines and suspensions to zero, applying the strict liability defence.

ORCNov 18, 2010

Ontario Racing Commission v. MacDonald, 2010 CanLII 99098

Penalty for failing to attend hearing stayed on conditions based on agreed statement of facts.

The appellant, a standardbred licensee, appealed a penalty of a $1,000 fine and a three-day suspension for failing to attend a hearing as a witness.

Based on an agreed statement of facts, the Ontario Racing Commission stayed the original penalty on the condition that a warning letter be placed in the appellant's file for 12 months, with escalating penalties for any subsequent failure to appear.

ORCOct 22, 2010

Luis Contreras and Barbara Minshall, 2010 CanLII 98951

Appeal of jockey's three-day suspension and horse's placing for interference during a race denied.

The appellants, a jockey and a trainer/owner, appealed a Stewards' ruling that imposed a three-day riding suspension on the jockey and placed their horse from first to sixth position for interference during a race.

The Ontario Racing Commission panel reviewed the race film and heard testimony from a steward and another jockey.

The panel found that the jockey did interfere with another rider, violating Thoroughbred Rule 11.07.

The appeal was denied, and the suspension and placing were upheld.

ORCOct 22, 2010

Jesse Daigrepont v. Ontario Racing Commission, 2010 CanLII 98947

Jockey's appeal of one-day suspension for interference denied based on clear video evidence.

The appellant, a quarter horse jockey, appealed a one-day riding suspension imposed by the Stewards for interference during a race.

The Ontario Racing Commission denied the appeal, finding that the video evidence clearly showed the appellant crossing over and taking the path away from another horse, thereby putting the other jockey in danger in violation of Thoroughbred Rule 11.07.
