A jockey, trainer, and owner appealed a stewards' ruling that disqualified their horse from first place and suspended the jockey for three days due to interference during a race.
The appellants argued that the interference was caused by another jockey's whip getting caught in their horse's tail.
The Ontario Racing Commission found that the jockey initiated the interference by aggressively moving his horse into the path of others, which caused the whip to become entangled.
The appeals were denied, the disqualification was upheld, and the jockey's suspension was confirmed.
