On Wednesday, April 10, the Ontario Racing Commission released its ruling regarding an appeal, request for hearing, and motion from horseman Dan Creighton for a third-party disclosure.
Creighton's appeal, request for hearing, and motion is in regard to the situation surrounding one of his horses, Quantum Cashman. The horse in question produced a positive test after winning a race on June 17, 2012 at Clinton Raceway.
