The appellant, a standardbred owner, trainer, and driver, appealed a ruling finding he violated the Rules of Standardbred Racing by failing to report the deaths of two horses for which he was the trainer of record.
The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal on liability, finding the appellant failed to discharge his obligations.
The Commission allowed the appeal on penalty in part, modifying the licence suspensions and staying half of the $5,000 fine for one year, subject to conditions.
