John Veitch finally vindicated, reinstated!
May be more legal wrangling yet, but thrilled to see one of the sport's finest men finally have things go his way. Congratulations to John!

The Kentucky Personnel Board has ruled that fired chief racing steward John Veitch should be reinstated to his former position and be awarded all back pay and benefits dating to his dismissal date of Nov. 28, 2011. The April 24 ruling, which can be appealed within 15 days, agreed with Veitch's attorneys that the executive director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, and not the Public Protection Cabinet, had the jurisdiction to fire Veitch.
