The appellants appealed a 3-day driving suspension and the placement of their horse from first to third for causing interference during a race.
The Ontario Racing Commission panel reviewed the video replay and testimony, finding that interference did occur as the driver initiated hooking of the arches.
However, given the closeness of the call and the difficulty in adjudicating the interference, the panel waived the 3-day driving suspension while upholding the horse's placement.
