Subpart 1.
Racing officials.
If a racing official approved by the commission becomes
incapacitated or is unable to perform his or her duties, the stewards may
approve an emergency license. The approval shall be based on the standards in
part
7877.0175, and must be reported to
the commission for consideration at the next commission meeting. If the
emergency licensee has not previously been considered by the commission, the
association shall be responsible for immediately submitting a completed license
application to the commission.
Subp.
2.
Owners.
A. If an
owner is unable to complete an application for an owner's license because of
absence or illness, the licensed trainer desiring to enter a horse in a race
shall be permitted to apply for an emergency owner's license on behalf of the
absent owner.
B. The trainer must,
at the time of submission for an emergency owner's license, provide the
following information on an application prescribed by the commission :
(1) the owner's full name;
(2) the date of birth of the owner;
(3) the home or business address of the
owner; and
(4) the telephone number
of the owner.
C. Failure
to provide all of the foregoing information is grounds for denial of an
emergency owner's license.
D. An
emergency owner's license shall expire 21 days from the date it is
issued.
E. If the information
required in item B is not provided to the commission due to an act or omission
on the part of the trainer, the trainer must also be subject to disciplinary
action by the stewards.
F. At the
time of application, the appropriate licensing fee must be paid to the
commission.
G. Prior to the
expiration of the emergency owner's license, the owner must submit a properly
completed owner's application as required by parts
7877.0110 and
7877.0130. Failure to do so is
grounds for forfeiture of any purse money won by the owner when racing under
the emergency license.
