Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to claiming races in California horse racing. It outlines the requirements and procedures for making a claim for a horse in a claiming race. The document states that any person or racing interest making a claim must provide a written affidavit stating that they are claiming the horse for their own account or for the racing interest, and not for any other person. It also specifies that a horse claimed out of a claiming race cannot be sold or transferred for racing purposes within 30 days, exclusive of the day it was claimed. The document further explains the eligibility of a claimed horse to race at any racing association in California immediately after being claimed, but with certain restrictions. If a claimed horse was claimed for less than 25% more than the amount it was claimed for, it is not eligible to start in another claiming race for 25 days. Additionally, if a claimed horse is entered in a claiming race within 25 days of being claimed, the horse that won the claiming race it was claimed from must start for at least 25 percent more than the amount it was claimed for. The document also allows for the removal of a claimed horse from the grounds of the association where it was claimed for non-racing purposes. It should be noted that the provisions regarding claiming races do not apply to standardbred horses. The document also addresses the invalidation of claims in horse racing, specifying various conditions under which a claim is considered invalid. It prohibits certain actions related to claims, such as entering into agreements with ineligible parties, claiming one’s own horse, preventing racing interests from running or claiming horses, and making loan agreements with liens on claimed horses. The document also provides guidelines for the entry of pregnant mares in claiming races and outlines the requirements for the transfer of ownership of a claimed horse.
