RE: STANDARDBRED HEARING
IN THE MATTER OF AN APPEAL AND REQUEST FOR HEARING OF JACK MOISEYEV
Held Before: Rod Seiling Chairman
This is an excerpt of a Hearing of the Ontario Racing Commission re: JACK MOISEYEV, taken before Toronto Court Reporters, Suite 1410, 65 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, at 10 Carlson Court, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, on the 2nd day of June, 2010.
Appearances: Rick Rier & Tom Miller for the Ontario Racing Commission Administration
Hearing continued ...
MR. CHAIRMAN: Based on the testimony and the evidence I am going to allow the appeal. I believe that the video clearly demonstrates that Mr. Moiseyev had his wheel in front of Mr. Oullette and he couldn't get through and so the appeal stands and the original placing, the original order of finish, will stand and so the days are rescinded as well.
MR. MOISEYEV: Thank you, sir.
