Requirements for Collecting Race Information from Participants in Wyoming

To collect race information from participants in Wyoming, you must comply with the rules and regulations set forth by the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission [2.1]. The following requirements must be met:

  1. Every horse entered in any race authorized by a permit issued under the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission must be a thoroughbred horse that meets the requirements of and is registered by the Jockey Club of New York, including racing permits issued to foreign thoroughbred horses, or registered as an American quarter horse in the official stud book and registry of the American Quarter Horse Association, or registered as one of another breed which maintains a recognized national stud book and registry [3.1].
  2. Each applicant seeking dates for a live pari-mutuel event must submit an application to the Commission no later than the date set by the Commission, but not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the proposed meeting. Application for permits shall give dates requested, fully identify the applicant, shall include a proper financial statement showing the financial responsibility of the applicant, shall show the purpose and use of the permit, and shall describe the races to be conducted, the manner of wagering and the names and identification of those to supervise the wagering and the controls and supervision by the applicant (pari-mutuel manager, stewards, and racing secretary) and shall include an approval of the corporation or association applying by their respective County Commissioners. A fee of one hundred ($100.00) dollars for each live event day and a surety bond, certificate of deposit or letter of credit of not less than $5,000.00 (security not required of a county entity) made in favor of the State of Wyoming must accompany the application [1.2].
  3. The Racing Secretary is the person authorized to receive entries and declarations. Entries and declarations shall be made in writing and signed by the owner of the horse, or his authorized agent or some person deputized by him, and each Permittee shall provide blank forms on which entries and declarations are to be made. Entries may be made by telephone or other means approved by the Stewards, but must be confirmed promptly in writing [2.2].
  4. A horse may be entered without being tattooed, but must be tattooed to be eligible to start [2.2].
  5. The holder of a claim, whether it is a mortgage, bill of sale or lien of any kind against a horse shall be required to file the claim with the Racing Secretary previous to the time the horse is entered. If the holder fails to file the claim he shall forfeit his rights to the winnings of the horse [2.2].
  6. At the time of registration of any horse and before an entry may be made for any race, a registration certificate properly endorsed to the current owner must be filed with the Racing Secretary. The Stewards may waive this requirement if the horse is otherwise properly identified [2.2].

Additionally, if you are collecting race information for Wyoming-bred horses, you must comply with the Wyoming Bred Program rules and regulations set forth by the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission [2.1].

Therefore, to collect race information from participants in Wyoming, you must comply with the above requirements set forth by the Wyoming Pari-Mutuel Commission and the Wyoming Bred Program rules and regulations if applicable.
