(1) A protest
against any horse which has started in a race must be made in writing to the
board of stewards, signed by the person making the protest, and submitted
within seventy-two hours of the race (excluding nonrace days). If the incident
for which the protest is made occurs within the last two days of the meeting,
the protest must be filed within seventy-two hours of the closing
day.
(2) A protest may be made on
any of the following grounds:
(a) The order of
finish as officially determined by the stewards was incorrect due to an
oversight or errors in the number of the horses which started the
race;
(b) The weight carried by a
horse was improper, due to fraud or willful misconduct; or
(c) An unfair advantage was gained by
violation of the rules.
(3) The time limitation on the filing of
protests will not apply in any case in which fraud or willful misconduct is
involved.
