Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1314.150 - Allocation of Stalls
a) No
race track operator shall allocate stalls except pursuant to a written stall
application and agreement, the form of which shall have been approved by the
Board. The racing secretary shall be responsible for stall allocation unless
some other official is substituted by the race track operator to perform that
function and the Board notified of the substitution.
b) Notification
1) The racing secretary shall give each
applicant written notice specifying whether an application, with respect to
each stall requested, has been accepted, denied, or placed in a pending status.
The notice shall be given not later than five days prior to the start of the
meeting or ten days after receipt of the stall application, whichever occurs
last.
2) Within ten days after
initial notification is required by this Section, final action shall be taken
and written notice given with respect to any stall application originally
placed, in whole or in part, in a pending status.
c) The racing secretary's view of the best
interests of racing and of the meeting in question shall govern his action on
stall applications, and he shall be allowed broad discretion in performing this
function. Nevertheless:
1) No action on a
stall application shall be based upon -
A) the
race, color, creed, religion, national origin or sex of the applicant,
or
B) an arbitrary or capricious
decision, or a decision not related to any reasonable view of the best
interests of racing or of the meeting in question.
2) No stall allocation shall be conditioned
upon the payment, transfer or delivery to the racing secretary, or to any other
person designated by him, of any money, property or other thing of value or
upon the applicant's promise to make payment, transfer or delivery.
d) Any owner, trainer or other
person believing himself to be aggrieved by a violation of this Section may
file a written complaint with the Board, which shall conduct a hearing with
respect to the alleged violation. If the Board determines that such a violation
has occurred, it may impose a fine upon the race track operator not to exceed
$500 for each violation, may order that stalls be allocated to the complainant
and may take other action as it deems appropriate. In order to facilitate the
conduct of inquiries into alleged violations of this Section, the racing
secretary shall cause all stall applications, stall agreements, correspondence
and other related material to be retained until the close of the meeting or for
a longer period as the Board may direct.
e) In passing upon stall applications that
are of substantially equal merit, the racing secretary shall give preference to
applications submitted with respect to horses owned by Illinois
residents.
f) Acceptance of an
application for stall space for any horse shall be conditioned upon proof of a
negative Coggins test for equine infectious anemia.
