The appellant, a horse trainer, appealed a ruling that denied him a stay of his suspension following a positive test for a trace amount of cocaine in a horse.
The Ontario Racing Commission panel applied the Czupa test for granting a stay.
Considering the appellant's long history in the industry with a clean record, the balance of convenience, and fairness, the panel allowed the appeal and granted the stay, ordering that the hearing of the main appeal be expedited.
