Can I collect race information from participants in Nevada? What are the requirements?

Collecting Race Information from Participants in Nevada

Based on the information provided in the Nevada Revised Statutes, there are no specific requirements for collecting race information from participants in Nevada [1.1]. However, any natural person, association, or corporation desiring to conduct horse racing within the State of Nevada must apply to the Board for a license to do so. The application must be in such form and supply such data and information as the Board prescribes. The Board shall investigate the applicant, and any other person whom it believes necessary to determine the applicant’s suitability to receive a license to conduct racing. The cost of the investigation must be paid by the applicant. The Board shall recommend in writing to the Commission either approval or denial of the license. If denial is recommended, the Board shall prepare and file with the Commission its written reasons for that recommendation. If the Board recommends denial, the Commission may grant the license only by unanimous vote of the members present [1.1][2.5].

Licensing of Participants in Racing

The Nevada Revised Statutes state that the Nevada Gaming Commission is charged with the administration of the chapter for the protection of the public and in the public interest. The Commission may issue licenses permitting the conduct of the pari-mutuel system of wagering, including off-track pari-mutuel wagering, and may adopt, amend and repeal regulations relating to the conduct of such wagering [3.1].

At a licensed race meeting or race, a person shall not enter a horse or participate as an owner, agent, nominator, trainer, jockey, jockey apprentice, or jockey agent, without first procuring from the Board a license to do so, and paying such fees as the Commission determines to be reasonable therefor. The Board may issue such licenses, and may revoke them at any time for cause. The regulations of the Commission may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) A requirement for fingerprinting, or other method of identification, of applicants and licensees; (b) A requirement for information concerning the antecedents, habits and character of applicants; and (c) The procedure and form of application which applicants must follow and complete before consideration of their applications by the Board [2.1].

Conclusion

In summary, there are no specific requirements for collecting race information from participants in Nevada. However, to conduct horse racing within the State of Nevada, a license must be obtained from the Board, and the applicant must supply the necessary data and information as prescribed by the Board. The Nevada Gaming Commission may issue licenses permitting the conduct of the pari-mutuel system of wagering, including off-track pari-mutuel wagering, and may adopt, amend and repeal regulations relating to the conduct of such wagering. At a licensed race meeting or race, a person shall not enter a horse or participate as an owner, agent, nominator, trainer, jockey, jockey apprentice, or jockey agent, without first procuring from the Board a license to do so, and paying such fees as the Commission determines to be reasonable therefor [1.1][2.1][3.1][2.5].
