SECTION 325:70-1-22. Grounds for appeal from decision of the stewards

  Any decision of the Stewards, except decisions regarding disqualifications for interference during the running of the race and summary suspensions, may be appealed to the Commission, as specified in 325:70-1-23 and 325:70-1-24. Such decisions may be overruled, referred back to the Stewards, or subject to other action which the Commission deems appropriate if it is found that:

(1)   The Stewards mistakenly interpreted the law; or

(2)   New evidence is produced which, through the exercise of reasonable diligence, could not have been found at the time of the Stewards' hearing and is of a convincing nature which, if found to be true, would require the overruling of the decision or remanding the matter to the Board of Stewards; or

(3)   The Stewards' decision is not supported by the applicable standard of proof; or

(4)   The best interests of racing and the State may be better served. [3A:204 and 75:250.4]
