Ontario racing judges can impose fines, suspensions and licence conditions
Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario horse-racing rules allow judges to refuse entry, expel people, impose financial penalties or suspensions, and set licence conditions for conduct that harms racing or breaches the rules. The rules specify penalties for several offences, including escalating sanctions for smoking violations, and require officials to notify accused participants and allow at least 24 hours to respond in race-meeting cases.
The rules set out the sanctions and response period that licensed racing participants must account for in Ontario.
