HORSE RACING > Penalties and Allowances
Short Summary
This document governs the eligibility, penalties, and allowances in horse racing under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Racing Commission. It applies to owners, trainers, stewards, and racing secretaries involved in horse racing. The stewards are responsible for determining eligibility, penalties, and allowances based on reports, records, and statistics. Penalties and allowances are not cumulative unless specified by the racing secretary. Penalties are obligatory, while allowances are optional. The stewards ensure that horses do not receive weight allowances or are relieved from weight penalties due to previous race outcomes. In case of a dispute, both the winning horse and the claimant incur the weight penalty until the matter is resolved. The stewards also ensure races are run under approved scales and that horses carry appropriate weights for the distance. Specific weight allowances are provided for fillies and mares based on age and time of the year. The document does not apply to quarter horse fillies and mares. Non-compliance with weight requirements may result in disqualification and disciplinary action. Overall, this document establishes the rules and procedures regarding penalties and allowances in horse racing in Arizona.
