Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the ownership, registration, and responsibilities of owners, trainers, and grooms in the South Dakota racing industry. It outlines the requirement for owners of South Dakota-bred horses to register their horses with the commission by filing a breeder’s certificate. Failure to register a horse may result in the horse being ineligible for benefits derived from the South Dakota-bred racing fund. The document also states that all ownerships in a horse, except for a trainer’s percentage of winnings, must be filed with the racing secretary before the horse starts. Any changes in ownership during the meeting must also be filed with the racing secretary. Additionally, the document specifies that a trainer shall not have in charge or under their supervision a horse owned, in whole or in part, by a disqualified person. Trainers are required to register all horses in their charge with the racing secretary, providing details such as name, age, sex, breeding, and ownership. The document also addresses the licensing requirements for trainers and the responsibilities of trainers in relation to their application for a license. It states that a trainer may act as a trainer pending action on their license application but cannot have their name appear on a program or enter the paddock prior to a race until the license has been issued. Furthermore, the document prohibits owners from leasing a horse to more than one lessee at a racetrack and from racing against their own leased horse. It also outlines the responsibilities of owners, trainers, and stable employees in protecting horses against the administration of prohibited substances and the use of devices that may affect a horse’s performance. The document emphasizes that trainers are responsible for the condition of the horses they enter in races. It also covers various administrative requirements, such as the registration of racing colors, reporting of deaths or sickness of horses, and the movement of horses from the grounds of an association. The document does not mention any specific exemptions or penalties, but it states that owners, trainers, and stable employees are subject to the authority of the stewards and the commission, with the right to appeal decisions.
