Minn. R. 7884.0125 - ENTERING AND DRAWING OF HORSES AT CLASS D FACILITIES
The entering and drawing of horses at Class D licensed facilities shall be governed by the following:
A. Each Class D licensee must provide a
locked entry box with an aperture through which all entries shall be
deposited.
B. At the time specified
by the licensee, the chief steward, or an official designated by the chief
steward, shall unlock the entry box, sort the entries contained in it, and
immediately draw the post positions in the presence of owners or an owner's
representative as may be present.
C. At all Class D race meets the entry box
shall be opened by the chief steward, or an official designated by the chief
steward, at the advertised time. The chief steward or official conducting the
draw will be responsible to assure that at least one owner or an official
representative of the owner is present. No owner or agent for a horse with an
entry in the entry box shall be denied the privilege of being present. Under
the supervision of the chief steward, or an official designated by the chief
steward, all entries shall be listed, the eligibility verified, preference
ascertained, starters selected, and post positions drawn. If it is necessary to
reopen any race as determined by the chief steward, a public announcement
indicating such shall be made no fewer than two times and the entry box
reopened at a specific time.
D.
Drawing of post positions for the second heat in races of more than one dash or
heat at pari-mutuel meetings, may be conducted by the stewards from the stand
for succeeding dashes or heats.
E.
Entries by mail, telephone, or facsimile actually received and evidence of
which is deposited in the entry box before the time specified to enter, shall
be drawn in the same manner as the others. Such drawings shall be final. Mail,
telephone, or facsimile entries must state the name, age, color, sex, sire, and
dam of the horse; the name of the driver and driver's colors; the date and
place of last start; a current summary, including the number of starts, firsts,
seconds, thirds, earnings, and best winning time for current year; and the
event in which the horse is to be entered. It shall state any relevant
medication information. It shall be the responsibility of the racing secretary
to assure that such entries are signed by the person receiving same.
F. When a Class D licensee requires a horse
to be entered at a stated time, failure to enter as required shall be
considered a withdrawal from the event.
G. After entries have been made, no horse
shall be withdrawn from the race except by permission of the stewards. A fine
and/or a suspension shall be imposed for drawing a horse without permission and
the penalty shall apply to both the horse and the party who violated this
item.
H. Drawings shall be final
unless there is conclusive evidence that a horse properly entered was omitted
from the race through the error of a track or its agent or employee in which
event the horse shall be added to the race but given the last post position,
provided the error is discovered prior to either scratch time or the printing
of the program; however, in the case of early closers of more than $10,000 and
stake and futurity races, the race shall be redrawn. This shall not apply at
commercial pari-mutuel meetings in overnight events.
I. Entries shall state who shall drive the
horse and give the driver's colors. Drivers may be changed until the time
prescribed by the stewards, of the day preceding the race, after which no
driver may be changed without permission of the stewards and for good cause.
When a nominator starts two or more horses, the stewards shall approve or
disapprove the second or third driver.
J. Entries shall state when a horse is to be
raced with furosemide and, if it is the first time the horse is to race with
furosemide, that information is to be included on the entry.
