The appellant, a standardbred licensee, appealed a Judges' Ruling that placed his horse sixth for interference and imposed a three-day driving suspension.
During a Gold Eliminations Race, the appellant's horse came out in the stretch run and made contact with a trailing horse.
The appellant admitted to the contact but argued the trailing driver could have avoided it.
The Ontario Racing Commission dismissed the appeal, finding that interference occurred and noting that the judges had already reduced the standard five-day suspension to three days due to poor driving conditions.
