Mich. Admin. Code R. 431.3180 - Claiming races generally
Rule 3180.
(1) The
primary purpose of claiming races is the classification of horses.
(2) In a claiming race, a horse is subject to
claim for its entered price by any owner in good standing who is properly
licensed in this state. An owner may claim out of his or her initial
race.
(3) A legal entity that seeks
to make a claim and that otherwise is not eligible as set forth in these rules
may do so, after filing proper license application, and by complying with all
of the following provisions:
(a) Depositing an
amount not less than the minimum claiming price at the race meeting with the
horsemen's bookkeeper. Such amount shall remain on account until a claim is
made or permission to claim has expired. If withdrawal of such amount occurs,
any permit issued pursuant to this rule is automatically revoked and
terminated.
(b) Submitting to the
stewards, in writing, the name of a trainer whose Michigan license is currently
in full force and effect and who will represent the legal entity that desires
to make a claim once the claim is made.
(c) Securing from the stewards a written
claiming permit which is in full force and effect when a claim is made by the
legal entity or a trainer or authorized agent representing the legal
entity.
(4) Before
issuing a claiming permit, the stewards shall determine that an individual
qualifies for an occupational license and permit by the standards of
occupational licensing. A claiming permit shall take effect upon issue and
shall not be issued for more than 30 days.
(5) A claim may be made on behalf of an owner
by an authorized agent or trainer, but an authorized agent or trainer may claim
only for the account of those for whom he or she is licensed as agent, and the
name of the authorized agent as well as the name of the owner for whom the
claim is being made shall appear on the claim slip.
(6) A licensee shall not claim his or her own
horse or cause his or her own horse to be claimed, directly or indirectly, for
his or her own account.
(7) A
person shall not claim more than 1 horse from any 1 race. An authorized agent,
although representing more than 1 owner, shall not submit more than 1 claim for
any 1 race. When a stable consists of horses owned by more than 1 person and
trained by the same trainer, not more than 1 claim may be entered on behalf of
such stable in any 1 race.
