California Horse Racing Board > Entries and Declarations
Short Summary
The legal document reviewed pertains to the entries and declarations in horse racing under the jurisdiction of the California Horse Racing Board. It covers various aspects related to the eligibility requirements for horses to start in a race, including registration, ownership, classification, and weight allowances. The document specifies that every certificate of registration or eligibility certificate filed with the association and its racing secretary must accurately reflect the correct ownership of the horse. The name of the owner printed on the official program for the horse must conform to the ownership declared on the certificate of registration or eligibility certificate, unless a stable name has been registered. The handicapper is responsible for classifying horses and may change the class of any horse upon request. The name and class of all classified horses must be posted in the office of the racing secretary. The document also outlines the weight allowances for fillies and mares based on their age and the time of the year. In case the number of entries to a race exceeds the number of horses that can start, the race may be split, and the starters and post positions determined by lot. The document prohibits the alteration or forgery of any registration or ownership document and sets guidelines for name changes of horses. It also specifies that a horse’s win at a fair race meeting in California will not result in a penalty for subsequent races, except for maiden allowances. The document further addresses the establishment of minimum valid entries required for an overnight race to be considered filled and the conditions for declaring off a race due to insufficient entries. It also prohibits the entry of any horse that is ineligible to start in a race and allows for the disqualification and discipline of anyone responsible for such entry. The document provides rules for the declaration of horses from stakes races and the refund of stakes money in certain circumstances. It also prohibits the requirement of extra weight or the barring of a horse from entering a race solely based on previous losses, except for maiden allowances or specific allowances. The racing secretary is designated as the person authorized to receive entries and declarations for all races, and the stewards have the authority to declare a horse out of a race under certain circumstances. The document also addresses the requirement for owners to provide performance records of horses before entry and the transfer of entries and engagements. Overall, the document ensures the proper conduct of horse racing events and the fair treatment of participating horses.
