Notes of Decisions

An apprentice jockey who had his license suspended for use of illegal drugs without a hearing did not have his due process rights violated because he was given notice and an opportunity to challenge the suspension in a hearing before the Stewards, with the opportunity to be represented by counsel who cross-examined witnesses against him.
