The appellants, Jeffrey Brooks and Bulletproof Enterprises, appealed an Order of Immediate Suspension and a Notice of Proposed Order.
The Ontario Racing Commission found that Jeffrey Brooks permitted his brother, David Brooks, a suspended and unlicensed person, to exercise extensive and continuing control over the Bulletproof racing operation.
The Commission also found that the appellants displayed financial irresponsibility by failing to pay numerous trade accounts and court judgments.
The appeal was denied.
The Commission imposed a 10-year suspension and a $400,000 fine on Jeffrey Brooks, and ordered the forfeiture of purse funds won by ineligible horses.
