PROCEDURE BEFORE STEWARDS
§ 165.201. General power of stewards.
The Stewards shall have the power to resolve matters before them including those which are not expressly covered by this chapter. In all cases, the Stewards shall render an opinion in accordance with the generally accepted customs and usages of racing in conformity with equitable standards of justice.
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. Luzzi v. Horse Racing Commission, 548 A.2d 659 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1988).
