Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the rules and procedures governing time trials in horse racing events. It outlines various scenarios and their corresponding outcomes. If a horse that qualified for the final is unable to be entered or is scratched for reasons other than a positive drug test, rule violation, or failure to make proper nomination payments, the horse shall be deemed to have earned last place purse money. If multiple horses are scratched, the last place purse money is divided equally among the owners of the scratched horses. If a horse is disqualified for a positive drug test, ineligibility, failure to make nomination payments, or rule violation, the horse with the next fastest qualifying time may be entered in the finals. If a horse breaks through a stall door before the start of a time trial and cannot be reloaded, it is given a no time and the entry fee may not be refunded. A horse scratched from a time trial is not allowed to enter the final. If the timer malfunctions, the stewards may select qualifiers based on video time. The document also addresses the malfunction of starting gate doors, disqualification for interference, maximum number of horses in time trials, and procedures for determining qualifying times and order of finish. The document is implemented by the South Dakota Gaming Commission - Racing (Revenue) and is governed by the Administrative Rules of South Dakota, specifically SDCL 42-7-56(13) and 29 SDR 107, effective February 2, 2003.
