Matter of Patterson v. Corbisiero

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 31, 1991
169 A.D.2d 677 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

January 31, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County [Franklin Weissberg, J.].


The determination that petitioner failed to "drive" his horse to the end of the race which took place on July 29, 1987, and thus violated 9 NYCRR 4117.1, is supported by substantial evidence.

At the hearing, the racing judge testified that petitioner stopped "driving" and "checked" his horse, slowing down in the homestretch, all of which was observed by the three racing judges on the videotape of the race. In view of this evidence, we do not find petitioner's explanation that his horse had lost a toe weight to raise a cognizable defense.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Rosenberger, Ellerin and Kupferman, JJ.
