§ 165.206. Hearing.
No final determination may be made by the Stewards until the hearing is completed and the evidence has been received and the party charged has been given the opportunity to hear the evidence presented against him. If a summoned or noticed party fails to appear, an order or ruling may be made against him by default.
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).
