Such agreements and arrangements shall specify all financial, wagering, distribution and other details, which shall govern.

(b) The franchise holder may conduct pari-mutuel wagering at locations on the grounds of the licensed race track of the franchise holder on races run at other racetracks, even if the races are not shown live to patrons at the franchise holder's premises for any reason, including, but not limited to, lapses in satellite transmission, power outage, store-and-forward digital network nodes, buffering spooling or other electronic delays or re-transmission, or due to races being run at times when the franchise holder's premises are not open to the public; provided that transmission delays or replays shall not compromise the integrity of pari-mutuel wagering by the franchise holder's patrons wagering on such races, and provided that the terms, conditions, formats, content and agreements relating to such races and any delays or replays thereof must be satisfactory to the Racing Commission.

1124. When a person is ruled off any course or suspended by any recognized turf authority, any licensing body of any State or country or any thoroughbred horse franchise holder, every horse owned in whole or in part by the person shall be ineligible to be entered or to start in any race until said horse has been reinstated either by the rescission of the owner's suspension or by its transfer through bona fide sale to an ownership acceptable to the Stewards.

When a person is ruled off any course or suspended by any recognized turf authority, any licensing body of any State or country or any thoroughbred horse franchise holder, any horse which is under the person's care, management, training or superintendence shall not be qualified to be entered or to start in any race until said horse has been reinstated by the rescission of said person's suspension or by the placement of the horse in the hands of a licensed trainer, with such transfer approved by the Stewards. If a trainer's suspension exceeds thirty days, a transfer of the trainer's horses during the period of suspension to a family member or employee of the trainer will not be approved except under extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Stewards.

1128. When a person is ruled off any course or suspended by any recognized turf authority, any licensing body of any country or any racing franchise holder, the person shall not be qualified, whether acting as an agent or otherwise, to subscribe for or to enter or run any horse in any race either in his own name or in that of any other person until the rescinding of that person's suspension.

1130. A thoroughbred horse or stable ruled off or under suspension by any recognized turf authority, any licensing body of any State or country or any racing franchise holder shall not be permitted to race on any Arkansas track where these Rules are in force during the continuance of such ruling.

1150. When finishes are so recorded, each entry in each race shall wear a number of adequate size on the side which at the finish will be towards the camera, corresponding to his number on the official program.

1151. All portions of purse money earned by horses competing in stakes races shall be made available to the owners of such horse following the clearance of chemical analysis results from those horses who have undergone chemical analysis in such stakes races. All portions of purse money for horses running in overnight races shall be made available to the owners of such horses on the next racing day following the day such horses competed and earned purse money. Provided, however, any purse money earned by any horse in any race may be ordered by the Stewards to be withheld, pending a hearing and resolution of all appeals, should the chemical analysis of the horse indicate the presence of a drug, except as allowed in Rule 1232, or for any other good cause indicating that the horse involved (or its owner, trainer or jockey) may have violated any rule or regulation of the Racing Commission, or otherwise engaged in any conduct, which reasonably warrants withholding the purse under the circumstances. Provided, further, however, should the chemical analysis of any sample of a horse entitled to a share of the purse indicate the presence of a drug, except as allowed by Rule 1232, the purse may be revoked at any time up to nine (9) months following the race and ordered redistributed by the Racing Commission. The failure of the owner or jockey of the horse testing positive for the presence of a drug to repay the funds to the proper person(s) as ordered by the Racing Commission shall result in the suspension and/or revocation of the owner's or jockey's license. The money shall be repaid to the proper person(s) for distribution as soon as possible after recovery. After the period of nine (9) months following the race, all tests and obligations shall be void.

Except under the instructions of the official veterinarian or the racing veterinarian for the purpose of removing a horse from the Veterinarian's List or to facilitate the collection of a post-race urine sample, furosemide shall be permitted only after the official veterinarian has placed the horse on the Furosemide List. In order for a horse to be placed on the Furosemide List the following process must be followed.

(a) After the horse's licensed trainer and licensed veterinarian determine that it would be in the horse's best interests to race with furosemide they shall notify the official veterinarian or his/her designee, using the prescribed form, that they wish the horse to be put on the Furosemide List.

(b) The form must be received by the official veterinarian or his/her designee by the proper time deadlines so as to ensure public notification.

(c) A horse placed on the official Furosemide List must remain on that list unless the licensed trainer and licensed veterinarian submit a written request to remove the horse from the list. The request must be made to the official veterinarian or his/her designee, on the proper form, no later than the time of entry.

(d) After a horse has been removed from the Furosemide List, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of 60 calendar days unless it is determined to be detrimental to the welfare of the horse, in consultation with the official veterinarian. If a horse is removed from the official Furosemide List a second time in a 365-day period, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of 90 calendar days.

(2) The use of furosemide shall be permitted under the following circumstances on association grounds where a detention barn is utilized:

(a) Furosemide shall be administered at the direction of the official veterinarian no less than four hours prior to post time for the race for which the horse is entered.

(b) A horse qualified for furosemide administration must be brought to the detention barn within time to comply with the four-hour administration requirement specified above.

(d) Furosemide shall be administered by a single, intravenous injection.

(e) After treatment, the horse shall be required by the Commission to remain in the detention barn in the care, custody and control of its trainer or the trainer's designated representative under association and/or Commission security supervision until called to the saddling paddock.

(3) The use of furosemide shall be permitted under the following circumstances on association grounds where a detention barn is not utilized:

(a) Furosemide shall be administered no less than four hours prior to post time for the race for which the horse is entered.

(b) The furosemide dosage administered shall not exceed 250 mg. nor be less than 150 mg; provided, with approval of the official veterinarian, a dose of up to 500 mg. may be administered.

(c) Furosemide shall be administered by a single, intravenous injection.

(d) The trainer of the treated horse shall cause to be delivered to the official veterinarian no later than one hour prior to post time for the race for which the horse is entered the following information under oath on a form provided by the Commission:

(i) The name of the horse, racetrack name, the date and time the furosemide was administered to the entered horse;

(ii) The dosage amount of furosemide administered to the entered horse; and

(iii) The printed name and signature of the attending licensed veterinarian who administered the furosemide.

(4) Test results must show a detectable concentration of the drug in the postrace serum, plasma or urine sample.

(a) The specific gravity of post-race urine samples may be measured to ensure that samples are sufficiently concentrated for proper chemical analysis. The specific gravity shall not be below 1.010. If the specific gravity of the urine is found to be below 1.010 or if a urine sample is unavailable for testing, quantitation of furosemide in serum or plasma shall be performed;

(b) Quantitation of furosemide in serum or plasma shall be performed when the specific gravity of the corresponding urine sample is not measured or if measured below 1.010. Concentrations may not exceed 50 nanograms of furosemide per milliliter of serum or plasma, or 100 nanograms of furosemide per milliliter of serum or plasma if the official veterinarian has approved a dose of up to 500 mg. of furosemide.

(5) The franchise holder may prohibit the administration of furosemide to horses entered in the following races, by so stating in the conditions of the race:

(a) a stakes race, including races designated as graded stakes by the American Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association or its successor, as necessary for the stakes race to remain eligible for graded status; and

(b) races for horses three (3) years of age, as necessary for horses participating in the race to be entitled to accumulate points based on their performance in the race for eligibility ranking to run in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks.

If the franchise holder so prohibits the administration of furosemide to horses entered in any of the above-referenced races, such race shall be referred to as a "Lasix-free Race." With respect to any horse participating in a Lasix-free Race, it shall constitute a violation of this Rule 1232(5) if the horse's post-race sample of urine, serum or plasma tests positive for furosemide at any level of detection indicating use within the 48-hour period prior to the Lasix-free Race. Such violation shall be deemed to constitute violation under Penalty Category "B" of the ARCI Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances and Recommended Penalties Model Rule set forth in Rule 1217.5 in the Appendix to these Rules, with resulting consequences and penalties to the horse, owner and trainer as set forth therein for Penalty Category "B" violations.

1232(A). LASIX Administration - 2015

(a) The Commission Veterinarian shall designate the veterinarians (each referred to herein as a "Designated LASIX Veterinarian") authorized to administer LASIX (furosemide) as independent contractors to horses on the grounds of the franchise holder not less than four (4) hours before the published post time for the race in which the horse is entered to run. The number of veterinarians designated by the Commission Veterinarian as Designated LASIX Veterinarians shall not be more than the number reasonably necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Commission Veterinarian, to appropriately and efficiently administer LASIX (furosemide) on a timely basis to horses on the grounds of the franchise holder as contemplated by this rule. A Designated LASIX Veterinarian must be a veterinarian licensed and in good standing to practice veterinary medicine under the laws of Arkansas, have sufficient experience, reasonably satisfactory to the Commission Veterinarian, performing veterinary services for horses, including administration of LASIX (furosemide), and have a current malpractice insurance policy in effect with coverage customary for veterinarians performing veterinary services on the grounds of the franchise holder (and shall provide to the Commission Veterinarian a customary certificate of insurance in a form acceptable to the Commission Veterinarian).

(b) A Designated LASIX Veterinarian may not perform other veterinary services on the grounds of the franchise holder, or for any horse entered or expected to be entered to race at Oaklawn during the then current racing season, except (i) administration of LASIX (furosemide) as contemplated by this rule, (ii) assisting as independent contractors in pre-race exams with consent of the Commission Veterinarian, or (iii) to address emergency situations.

(c) The fee charged by the Designated LASIX Veterinarians for LASIX (furosemide) administration shall not exceed the fair market fee for such services. The fees charged by the Designated LASIX Veterinarians for LASIX (furosemide) administration shall be billed to applicable horse owner's account with the Horsemen's Bookkeeper and paid through the Horsemen's Bookkeeper.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e) of this rule, no veterinarian or other person, except a Designated LASIX Veterinarian, may administer LASIX (furosemide) to any horse on the day the horse is scheduled to race prior to the running of the race, or after 6:00 p.m. on the day immediately before such race day.

(e) In the event of a shortage or other unavailability of a sufficient number of Designated LASIX Veterinarians to appropriately and efficiently administer LASIX (furosemide) on a timely basis to horses on the grounds of the franchise holder as contemplated by this rule, the Commission or Stewards may authorize any licensed veterinarian to administer LASIX (furosemide) to horses under this rule and other applicable rules of the Commission.

1233. THE TRAINER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND BE THE ABSOLUTE INSURER OF THE CONDITION OF AN ENTRY THE TRAINER ENTERS REGARDLESS OF THE ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES. Should the chemical analysis of saliva, urine or blood specimen detect the presence of any drug, medication or chemical substances, including but not limited to narcotics, stimulants, tranquilizers, depressants, steroids, NSAIDS not specifically permitted by Rules 1217 and 1232, or any substance which interferes with testing procedures, the trainer of the horse may, in the discretion of the Stewards, subject to appeal to the Racing Commission, be fined, suspended and ruled off the track. In addition, any other person responsible for the care or attendance of the horse may be penalized as determined by the Stewards or Racing Commission.

(a) A licensed assistant trainer shall assume the same duties and responsibilities as imposed on the holder of a trainer's license. The designation of an assistant trainer shall not relieve the trainer's absolute responsibility for the condition of the entry, but shall, in addition, place the assistant trainer under such absolute responsibility. It is the intent of this Rule that both the trainer and the assistant trainer may, in the discretion of the Stewards or Racing Commission, be fined, ruled off or otherwise penalized under the absolute insurer Rule for the same incident or infraction.

(b) The trainer shall be responsible for:

(1) Using the services of those veterinarians licensed by the Commission to attend horses that are on association grounds;

(2) Immediately reporting the alteration of the sex of a horse to the horse identifier and the racing secretary.

1234. Any person who has been convicted by any court having proper jurisdiction of the possession or use of narcotics may be denied a license or be ruled off.

1235. At the beginning of each racing season, the Racing Commission may employ a Chemist for the purpose of making chemical analysis of saliva or other excretions or body fluids taken by the Commission Veterinarian from any entry running on any track operating under a franchise from the Racing Commission.

1236. If after a race a sample of hair, saliva or other excretions or body fluids is to be taken by the Commission Veterinarian from a horse that has competed in the race, nothing shall be administered or given in any manner whatsoever to the said horse (except with the permission of and in the presence of the Track Veterinarian or Commission Veterinarian) until the Commission Veterinarian obtains the sample.

1237. The Commission Veterinarian, at his discretion, may administer a diuretic to any horse from which a urine sample is to be taken in order to expedite the test of the horse, unless the trainer of the horse shall have expressly requested otherwise in a signed statement delivered to the Commission Veterinarian prior to the administration by the Commission Veterinarian of the diuretic to the horse.

2254. Except in overnight races, if the hour for closing of entries or for declarations is not stated, it is understood to be midnight at the close of the day specified.

2255. Nominations for stake races shall be valid if received or postmarked before midnight on the established day of closing of nominations as printed in the condition of the stakes.

2256. If a miscarriage of any nomination or declaration in a stake race is claimed, satisfactory proof that it was mailed or telegraphed must be presented within a reasonable time, or such evidence will not be considered.

2257. Entries that have closed shall be compiled without delay by the Racing Secretary and conspicuously posted.

2258.

(a) The maximum number of starters in any race shall be limited to the number of starting positions afforded by the Association starting gate and extensions thereof. The maximum number of starters shall further be limited by the number of horses that, in the opinion of the Stewards, considering the safety of the horses and riders, can be afforded a fair and equal start. A fully paid entry in a stakes race, when denied the opportunity of starting because the number of entries exceeds the capacity of the starting gate and extensions thereof, will be entitled to refund of nomination and/or entry fee.

(b) In handicaps (stakes and overnights) preference will be given to high weights. In allowance stakes, if the number of entries exceeds the limitations of the starting gate and extensions thereof, preference will be given to horses that have accumulated the highest earnings, excluding earnings won in restricted races. For the purpose of this preference, a restricted race shall mean (i) a State Bred Race (a race where entries are restricted to horses qualifying under State Breeding programs), (ii) a Sales Restricted Race (a race where entries are restricted by origin of purchase). On restricted stakes races for Arkansas-breds, total earnings in EITHER open or restricted races will determine preference to start.

(c) In the event part or all of a purse for a race is sponsored and provided by a party other than the franchise holder, the conditions imposed on the race by the sponsor for the selection of starters and the distribution of that part of the purse provided by the third party for the sponsored race shall supersede any contrary provisions of these Rules, if approved by the Racing Commission.

2259. In a purse race, twelve (12) horses only will be drawn to compete. (See Rules 2279-2289 for disposition of excess entries.)

2260. Purse distribution will be paid back on the following basis: winner 60%, place 20%, show 10%, fourth 5% and fifth 3%, and the remaining 2% shall be divided and paid equally among the other official starters in the race (i.e., sixth through last).

2261. No alterations shall be made in any entry after the closing of entries, but an error may be corrected.

2262. Any horse that has been excused from starting on account of sickness or physical disability will not be allowed to run for ten (10) days after such excuse.

2263. Any horse that has been the subject of fraudulent practice may be disqualified by the Stewards for no longer period than the duration of the meeting.

2263(A)

(a) Any horse exhibiting a positive response to a test for the presence of any clenbuterol or other beta-2 agonists, or antibodies of any blood doping agent, including, but not limited to, Erythropoietin, Darbepoetin, Oxyglobin and Hemopure, (a "Blood Doping Agent") shall be ineligible to start or race until the owner or trainer, at his or her own expense, provides proof, in a form and substance acceptable to the Stewards, of a subsequent negative test result for the presence of clenbuterol or other beta-2 agonists and antibodies of Blood Doping Agents from a laboratory approved by the Commission, provided any such test sample and test must be obtained and conducted under collection and test procedures acceptable to the Commission Veterinarian. The beta-2 agonists and Blood Doping Agents to be tested for shall include clenbuterol, Erythropoietin, Darbepoetin, Oxyglobin, Hemopure and such other beta-2 agonists and blood doping agents determined from time to time by the Commission Veterinarian.

(b) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of these Rules, the trainer of the horse shall not be subject to application of the trainer's responsibility penalty based solely on a finding by the laboratory that the beta-2 agonist or Blood Doping Agent first detected in the initial positive test remains present in the horse in a subsequent sample taken from that horse for purposes of any subsequent test for beta-2 agonists and Blood Doping Agents performed on the horse in an effort to determine the horse's re-eligibility to start and race again pursuant to subsection (a) of this Rule.

2265. Permission for any change of equipment from that which a horse carried in his last previous race can be obtained only from the Stewards, and must be obtained before the closing of entries for the race in which the horse is to run with changed equipment.

2266. Permission for a horse to add blinkers to his equipment or to discontinue the use of them must be approved by the Starter before being granted by the Stewards.

2267. No horse shall be considered scratched or declared out of an engagement until the owner or his authorized agent or some person deputed by him shall have given due notice in writing to the Racing Secretary.

2268. No horse in an overnight race shall be scratched without the approval of the Stewards.

2269. For stake races, if a horse is not named through the entry box at the usual time of closing, the horse is automatically out.

2270. The declaration or scratch of a horse out of an engagement is irrevocable.

2271. Scratches from stake races will close forty-five (45) minutes before post time.

2272. Declarations and scratches from purse races shall be made to the Racing Secretary by the owner or his authorized agent or some person deputed by him, before the time stipulated by the regulations of the franchise holder.

2273. If the miscarriage of any declaration, by mail or otherwise, is alleged, satisfactory proof of such miscarriage shall be required of the complainant; otherwise, the declaration shall not be accepted as of the time alleged.

2274. If the whole or a part of a racing program is cancelled, any race involved may be rescheduled by the Racing Commission.

2275. If a stake race is declared off, all subscriptions and fees paid in connection with that race shall be refunded.

2276. Public notice shall be given at the earliest practicable time if a published race is declared off.

2277. No race that has closed with sufficient entries shall be declared off except by the Stewards in their discretion.

2278. The Stewards may postpone a race from one race-day to the next race-day.

2279. The Racing Secretary shall keep a list of all horses excluded from races because of too many entries, and horses on such list are to have preference in any race in which they may afterwards be entered in accordance with the regulations adopted by the Racing Secretary for the Race Meeting. This shall be known as the preferred list.

2280. The Racing Secretary may, in his sole discretion, decide for any Race Meeting whether or not there shall be an also-eligible list.

2281. If more than twelve (12) horses are entered for any purse race, a list of names not to exceed six (6) may be drawn in order of preference from the overflow entries and listed as eligible to start, if originally carded horse or horses are excused from the race. The owner or trainer of any horse on the also-eligible list shall, if he does not intend to start, so notify the Racing Secretary not later than scratch time.

2282. If the entries in a race exceed eighteen (18) and the also-eligible list is being used, then those in excess of eighteen (18) not drawn automatically go on the preferred list.

2283. If the also-eligible list is not being used, all horses in excess of twelve (12) not so drawn as eligible, or also eligible, automatically go on the preferred list.

2284. Division of the preferred list with regard to claiming price and/or to distance shall be made at the discretion of the Racing Secretary, but whichever system is adopted shall be maintained for the entire Race Meeting.

2286. The name of no horse shall be placed on the preferred list if the owner thereof did not accept when presented the opportunity of starting.

2287. Horses whose names appear in the entries and have an opportunity to start, EXCEPTING HORSES ENTERED IN SWEEPSTAKES, will be given no consideration whatsoever should they be entered for the following day and the race overfill.

2288. A copy of the preferred list will be posted each day by 7 a.m., and any claim of error must be made by 12 noon of that same day.

2289. In entering horses on the preferred list, a claim of preference must be made at time of entry and noted on the entry, or the preference shall be lost. No claim of error will be considered by the Stewards if the person making the claim has signed an entry not marked in keeping with this Rule.

2290. Post positions shall be determined publicly by lot in the presence of the Racing Secretary or his deputy, one or more Stewards or their deputies, and at least one trainer licensed by the Racing Commission.

2291. Beginning from the inside rail, the horses shall take their positions at the post in keeping with the numerical order resulting from the public drawing.

2292. Weight penalties are obligatory.

2293. Weight allowance is obligatory except by permission of a Steward. Such permission must be obtained at time of entry.

2294. Weight allowance, including apprentice allowance, must be claimed at time of entry or prior to the drawing of the races.

2295. Said weight allowance shall not be abandoned after the posting of entries except by consent of the Stewards.

2296. Penalties and allowance of weight are not cumulative, unless so declared by the conditions of a race.

2297. A horse shall start with only the allowance of weight entitled at the time of starting, regardless of the claimed allowance at the time of entry.

2298. Horses incurring weight penalties for a race shall not be entitled to any of the weight allowances for that race.

2299. Horses not entitled to the first weight allowance in a race shall not be entitled to the second and so on.

2300. Omission to claim a weight allowance is not cause of disqualification.

2301. Claim of weight allowance to which a horse is not entitled shall not disqualify unless protest is made in writing and lodged with the Stewards at least sixty (60) minutes before post time of the race in question.

2302. No horse shall incur a weight penalty or be barred from any race for having been placed second or lower in any race.

2303. No horse shall be given a weight allowance for failure to finish second or in any lower place in any race.

2306. Penalties shall not be invoked nor allowances made in arriving at the weights to be carried in matches or in private sweepstakes.

2307. No horse shall receive allowance of weight or be relieved of extra weight for having been beaten in one or more races, provided this Rule shall not prohibit maiden allowances or allowances to horses which have not won within a specified period or which have not won a race of specified value.

2308. When the decision of a race is in dispute, all horses involved in the dispute with respect to the winner's credit shall be liable to all weight penalties attached to the winnings of that race until a winner has been adjudged.

2309. Reports, records and statistics as published by The Daily Racing Form, Equibase or other publications recognized as official by the Stewards shall be considered official in determining eligibility, allowances and penalties, but may be corrected.

2311. No horse shall incur a weight penalty for a placement from which he is disqualified, but a horse placed through the disqualification of another horse shall incur the weight penalties of that placement. No such placement, however, shall make a horse ineligible to a race that already has been run.

2312. A horse involved in a Dead Heat for the first place shall be liable to weight penalty for the amount received.

2313. The following is the scale of weights for age, and shall be carried when not otherwise specified in the condition of the race.

2321. In the event a jockey weighs in following the running of the race more than two (2) pounds short of the weight that the jockey was assigned in the race, the Clerk of Scales shall immediately so notify the Stewards, and the Stewards shall investigate and when warranted take disciplinary action against the individual or individuals responsible for the violation. When warranted, such action shall include disqualification of the horse from receiving what would otherwise be its share of the purse. In the event that a horse is disqualified pursuant to this Rule after the declaration of the race as "Official," such disqualification shall not affect the results of the race for pari-mutuel wagering purposes or in so far as the payout to patrons is concerned. In the event a jockey weighs in following the running of the race more than two (2) pounds short of the weight that the jockey was assigned in the race and the Clerk of Scales so notifies the Stewards before the declaration of the race as "Official," the jockey's mount shall be disqualified for all purposes, including for purposes of pari-mutuel wagering and in so far as the payout to patrons is concerned.

2324. The specified jockeys shall be weighed out for their respective mounts in each race by the Clerk of Scales not less than ten (10) minutes before the time fixed for the race. In case of a substitution of riders after the original rider has been weighed out, the substitute rider shall be weighed as promptly as possible and the name of the substitute and his weight publicly announced and posted.

2325. A jockey's weight shall include his/her clothing, boots, goggles, saddle and its attachments, etc. The franchise holder should include the following language in its daily program: All jockeys will carry approximately three (3) pounds more than the published weight to account for safety equipment including helmet, vest and riding crop that is not included in the required weighing out procedure.

2337. All horses shall carry their respective weights from paddock to post and during the running of the race.

2338. Parading horses shall pass the Stewards' stand in the numerical order of their exhibited number. Only a horse being led by the parade leader, or excused from parading, may parade out of numerical order.

2339. In the discretion of the Stewards, parading horses maybe allowed to break out of numerical order after passing from in front of the stands, or may be required to maintain their order until arrival at the post.

2340. After the horses enter the track, no jockey shall dismount and no horse shall be entitled to the care of an attendant without consent of the Stewards or the Starter.

2341. In case of accident to a jockey or to his mount or equipment, the Stewards or the Starter may permit the jockey to dismount and the horse to be cared for during the delay, and may permit all jockeys to dismount and all horses to be attended during the delay.

2342. If a jockey is thrown on the way from the paddock to the post, the horse must be remounted, returned to the point where the jockey was thrown and then proceed over the route of the parade to the post.

2343. If the jockey is so injured on the way to the post as to require another jockey, the horse shall be taken to the paddock, another jockey obtained and then ridden over any uncompleted portion of the exact route of the parade to the starting point.

2344. If a horse leaves the course while moving from paddock to post, he shall return to the course at the nearest practical point to that which he left the course, and shall complete his parade to the post from the point at which he left the course.

2345. No person shall willfully delay the arrival of a horse at the post.

2347.

(a) When clear, a horse may be taken to any part of the course, but no horse shall, and no jockey shall carelessly or willfully permit his/her mount to, cross or weave in front of another horse, or jostle another horse, in such a way as to impede other horses or constitute or cause interference or intimidation.

(b) A jockey shall not ride carelessly or willfully in a manner that jeopardizes the safety of any horse or other jockey.

(c) No jockey shall carelessly or willfully strike or touch another jockey or another jockey's horse or equipment.

2348. The Stewards or the Commission may fine and/or suspend a jockey for violation of any rule of the Commission, whether or not the horse ridden by the jockey is disqualified in connection with the incident in question.

2349.

(a) In the case of any violation of Rule 2347, 2348, or any other applicable rule of the Commission, the offending horse, or the horse of the offending jockey, as the case may be, may be disqualified, if in the opinion of the Stewards, the violation affected the outcome of the race, regardless of whether the foul was accidental, willful or the result of careless riding.

(b) When the Stewards determine that a horse shall be disqualified for interference, they may place the offending horse behind such horses as in their judgment it interfered with, or they may place it last.

(c) Should the Stewards determine that there is more than one incident of interference in a race where disqualification is warranted, the Stewards shall deal with the incidents in the order in which the incident occurs during the race from start to finish; except in the case where the same horses are involved in multiple incidents. Once a horse has been disqualified, it should remain placed behind the horse with which it interfered.

2350. No jockey shall unnecessarily cause his horse to shorten his stride with a view to complaint.

2351. All horses shall be ridden out in every race. A jockey shall not ease up or coast to the finish without reasonable cause, even if the horse has no apparent chance to win prize money. A jockey shall give a best effort during a race, and each horse shall be ridden to win.

2352. If two horses run in one interest in any race, each shall give best effort. The practice of declaring to win with one or the other of such horses will not be allowed.

2353. The Stewards shall take cognizance of foul riding and may entertain reports from other racing officials of the Race Meeting whether or not formal complaint is made, but no complaint shall be considered which comes from any person other than the jockey, trainer or owner of the horse interfered with.

2354. No owner, trainer or jockey shall complain frivolously that his horses were crossed or jostled.

2356. The time for the first horse to cross the finish line shall be the official time of the race.

2357. A protest, except a protest involving fraud, may be filed only by the owner (or his authorized agent), trainer or jockey of a horse engaged in the race over which the protest is made, or by a racing official of the Race Meeting.

2358. A protest involving fraud may be made by any person.

2359. A protest, except a claim growing out of happenings in the running of the race, must be made in writing signed by the complainant and filed with the Stewards before the later of:

(i) 24 hours after the race is declared official or

(ii) the published post time (in the official racing program) for the Association's first race on the next live racing day, if one, during the racing season which includes the race which is the subject of the protest (i.e., so if the race occurs on the last day of the racing season, the protest would have to be made to Stewards in writing as set forth above prior to 24 hours after the race is declared official). For further example, if the race occurs on a Sunday, and the next live race day during that racing season is the following Thursday, the protest would have to be made to Stewards in writing as set forth above prior to the published post time (in official racing program) for the Association's first race on that Thursday. To merit consideration, any protest over the status of an alleged maiden must be made in writing, signed by the complainant and filed with the Stewards within the time period for protest set forth above in this Rule 2359.

2360. A protest against a horse engaged in a race, and filed with the Stewards not less than sixty (60) minutes before post time, shall receive immediate consideration. In default of proof within thirty (30) minutes of post time that the horse is qualified to start, the horse may be disqualified from starting.

2361. To merit consideration, a protest against the programmed distance of a race must be made at least thirty (30) minutes before post time for that race, but nothing in this Rule shall affect the Rule for races run at a wrong distance as compared with the official program.

2362. To merit consideration, a protest against a horse based on a happening in a race must be made to the Stewards before the placing of the horses for that race has been officially confirmed.

2363. Jockeys wishing to claim a foul or otherwise protest a happening in a race must do so by communicating to the outrider as promptly as practical following the running of the race. If the jockey's horse is pulled up prior to reaching the outrider, the jockey must proceed to the outrider in order to request a claim of foul or protest. The outrider must wait for those horses that pass the outrider before they are pulled up (and for the jockeys on horses pulled up prior to reaching the outrider to have had the opportunity to communicate a foul or protest claim to the outrider) before communicating a no-claim/no-protest status to the Stewards. If for any reason the outrider is unable to communicate to the Stewards, the Stewards shall not declare the race "Official" until the jockeys riding the first five (5) horses to finish shall have weighed in. Any jockey who has requested to register a claim of foul or protest also must contact the Stewards promptly upon dismounting. If the outrider is not confident regarding the decision to permit the quick official, the outrider shall so notify the Stewards and request a hold, and in such event the race shall not be declared "Official" by the Stewards until after either (i) the outrider shall have subsequently released the hold and notified the Stewards of no-claim/no-protest status or (ii) the jockeys riding the first five horses to finish have been weighed in.

2364. A person or persons lodging a protest must pay all the costs and expenses incurred in determining the objection unless his objection is upheld, in which case the cost shall be paid by the offender.

2365. Pending the determination of a protest, any money or prize won by a protested horse, or any other money affected by the outcome of the protest shall be paid to and held by the Racing Secretary until the protest is determined.

2366.

(a) If a protest (except for foul riding) against a horse that has won or has been placed is sustained by the Stewards, the horse shall be assigned to last position in the race, and the other horses in the race shall be advanced accordingly in the order of their finish.

(b) The Stewards are vested with the power to determine the extent of the disqualification in case of fouls. They may place the offending horse behind such horses as in their judgment it interfered with, or they may place it last.

2367. In the case of a disqualification, the Stewards shall immediately make public the reason for the disqualification, and the same shall be announced over the public address system.

2368. A protest may not be withdrawn without permission of the Stewards.

2369. No person shall make frivolous protests.

2370. The Stewards shall keep a record of all protests and complaints and of any action taken thereon, and shall report both daily to the Racing Commission.

2371. If a horse is disqualified for a foul under these Rules, any other horse in the race owned wholly or in part by the same interest or trained by the same trainer may also be disqualified if the Stewards determine the second part of the coupled or uncoupled entry benefitted from the actions of the disqualified stablemate.

2374. Winnings shall include all net monies won in all countries, up to the time appointed for the start, including walkovers and forfeits, but not second and third money nor the value of a prize not in money.

2375. Winnings during a year shall be reckoned from January 1st of that year.

2376. Winner or non-winner of a specified sum means winner or non-winner of a single race of that value to the winner, unless otherwise stated.

2377. In computing the value of a series of races in which an extra sum of money is won by the winning of two or more races of the series, the extra amount shall not be included in the horse's winnings until the series, or that part of it, is finished, and hence the extra amount is definitely ascertainable. When ascertained, it shall be added to the race which determines the extra amount.

2378. Foreign winnings shall be estimated on the basis of the normal rate of exchange prevailing on the day of the winnings.

2379. All franchise racing holders, owners, trainers, jockeys, agents, grooms and platers, and all licensees are deemed to accept the conditions under which franchise holder conducts the race meeting. Any person shall, before he/she terminates or discontinues his/her employment, engagement or activities under such accepted conditions, give the person's employer or other party for whom the person works, as the case may be, at least seven (7) days notice in writing of his/her intention to terminate or discontinue his/her employment, engagement or activities, provided, the employer or other party for whom the person works may waive the requirement of such advance notice. The Commission may, upon notice to all parties of interest, conduct a hearing or hearings with respect to any termination or discontinuance of employment, engagement or activities and if the Commission shall find that the cause for said termination or discontinuance of employment, engagement or activities under such accepted conditions is unreasonable or unlawful or contrary to the rules, regulations and conditions of the Commission, or the statutes of the State of Arkansas, or in bad faith or detrimental to the public interest or against the best interest of racing, or if the Commission shall find that the licensee or said persons have failed to give the required written notice herein provided, or in any other manner violated these Rules, it may, in its discretion, revoke, cancel, withdraw or suspend the licenses of any such trainer, jockey, agent, groom, plater, and other licensee, or may forever prohibit said person or persons from engaging in any activities at any race track in State of Arkansas, or take other appropriate disciplinary action in the circumstances.

2382. The owners of the horses in a Dead Heat shall divide equally the purse money involved.

2383. If a Dead Heat is for the first place, each horse shall be considered a winner of the amount received according to the preceding Rule.

2384. When a Dead Heat is run for second place and an objection is made to the winner of the race, and sustained, the horses that ran the Dead Heat, shall be deemed to have run a Dead Heat for first place.

2385. Owners shall divide equally all monies and other prizes; and if no agreement can be reached as to which of them shall receive a cup, plate or other indivisible prize, they shall draw lots for it in the presence of one or more of the Stewards.

2386. In a Dead Heat for first place, the winning jockeys shall receive 10% of the winning purse, and in all other cases the jockeys involved shall divide equally the sum total of the fees they would have received individually had one beaten the other, or others. Likewise, the owners of the horses involved shall pay their equal share of the jockey's fees.

2387. When two or more horses run in a race and are coupled because of common ties, they are called an "Entry", and a wager on one of them shall be a wager on all of them.

2388. When the individual horses competing in a race exceed the numbering capacity of the totalisator, the highest numbered horse within the capacity of the totalisator and all horses of a higher number shall be grouped together and called the "Field", and a wager on one of them shall be a wager on all of them.

2389. With the approval of the proper officers of the franchise holder, the following Rules will apply.

(a) If less than six interests qualify horses to start in a race, the Manager of the Pari-mutuel Department shall be permitted to prohibit show wagering on that race.

(b) If less than five interests qualify horses to start in a race, the said Manager shall be permitted to prohibit both place and show wagering on that race.

(c) If less than three interests qualify horses to start in a race, and both of the horses qualified are coupled as an Entry, the said Manager shall be permitted to prohibit wagering on that race.

(d) The said Manager may prohibit wagering on any particular horse in any race.

2390. Before the wagering starts on each race, the morning line showing "Odds" on each horse may be posted on the public board. Entries shall be listed as one horse, and likewise the Field shall be listed as one horse.

2391. After wagering has begun on each race and immediately after there is $1,000 (more or less, depending on circumstances) in the Straight Pool, the "Approximate Odds" on each horse must be computed at each cycle of the Tote Board. Said "Approximate Odds" shall agree with the amount wagered on each horse in the Straight Pool. There shall be a minimum of four sets (and more under proper circumstances) of "Approximate Odds" posted during the wagering on each race. These "Odds", however, are approximate and not the exact figures used in the payoff.

2392. Wagering shall cease not later than off time, and no tickets shall be sold after the totalisator has been locked or wagering ceased.

2393. If, for any reason other than power failure or accidental locking, the pari-mutuel ticket issuing machines are closed during the wagering on a race, and before off time, they shall remain closed until after the race. Wagering shall cease on that race, and the payoff for that race shall be computed on the sums then wagered in each pool.

2394. If a horse or horses are locked in the gate, the proper racing official shall promptly notify the Manager of the Pari-mutuel Department of the name and number of said horse or horses.

2395. At the end of each race, the Placing Judges shall advise the Manager of the Parimutuel Department of the official placement of the horses, and no payoff shall be made until the receipt of such notice.

2397. If an error is made in posting the payoff figures on the Tote Board, it shall be corrected promptly and only the correct amounts shall be used in the payoff, irrespective of the error on the Tote Board. If, because of mechanical failure, it is impossible to promptly correct the posted payoff, a statement shall be made over the public address system stating the facts and corrections.

2398. In the event of an irreparable breakdown of the totalisator or the ticket issuing machines or both during the wagering on a race, the wagering for that race shall be declared closed. The payoff for that race shall be computed on the sums wagered in each pool up to the time of the breakdown.

2399. In all cases when a horse has been excused by the Stewards after wagering has started, but before off time, all money wagered on the horse so excused shall be deducted from the pool and be refunded.

2400. Should an accident in the starting gate, malfunction of the starting gate, or other unusual event caused by outside elements compromise the fairness of the race or safety of race participants, the Stewards, in consultation with the Official Starter, may declare individual horses to be non-starters or declare a no contest, and, subject to other Rules of the Commission applicable to multi-race wagers, exclude individual horses from one or more pari-mutuel pools and order a refund of pari-mutuel wagers on the horses involved, as the circumstances warrant in fairness to the bettors and race participants.

2401. If no horse finishes in a race, all money wagered on that race shall be refunded.

2402. If two or more horses in a race are coupled on the same mutuel ticket, there shall be no refunds unless all of the horses so coupled are excused before off time or all of the horses so coupled are locked in the gate.

2403. If a jockey weighs in more than two (2) pounds short of the weight that the jockey was assigned in the race, and his mount is disqualified by the Stewards in consequence of short weight prior to the declaration of the race as "Official," all moneys wagered on said horse shall be deducted from the pool and refunded. If a jockey weighs in more than two (2) pounds short of the weight that the jockey was assigned in the race, and his mount is disqualified by the Stewards in consequence of short weight after the results of the race have been declared "Official," the moneys wagered on said horse shall not be deducted from the pool or refunded and such disqualification shall not affect the results of the race for pari-mutuel wagering purposes or in so far as the pay out to patrons is concerned.

2404. In the case of an Entry, if one of the jockeys riding the Entry weighs in short of weight by more than two (2) pounds and his mount is disqualified by the Stewards in consequence of short weight prior to the result of the race being declared "Official," no refund shall be made unless the other portion of the Entry also is disqualified by the Stewards for short weight prior to the result of the race being declared "Official," in which case all moneys wagered on the Entry so disqualified prior to the results of the race being declared "Official" shall be deducted from the pool and refunded. This Rule applies with equal effect to the Field. See Rule 2321 and 2403 in the event a jockey weighs in short of weight by more than two (2) pounds after the results of the race have been declared "Official." Such resulting disqualification of the mount ( after the results of the race have been declared "Official") shall not affect the results of the race for pari-mutuel wagering purposes or in so far as the payout to patrons is concerned.

2405. In the case of a race postponed beyond the day originally scheduled, all money wagered on said race shall be refunded.

2406. If a race is declared off by the Stewards after wagering begins on that race, all money wagered on that race shall be refunded.

2407. If a horse wins and there is no money wagered on that horse to win, the Straight Pool shall be apportioned among the holders of the place tickets on that horse, if any; otherwise, among holders of the show tickets on that horse.

2408. If no money has been wagered to place on a horse which is placed first or second in a race, the Place Pool for that race shall be apportioned among the holders of the place tickets on the other horse which was placed first or second.

2409. If no money has been wagered to show on a horse which is placed first, second or third in a race, the Show Pool in that race shall be apportioned among the holders of show tickets on the other horses which are placed first, second or third in that place.

2410. If only one horse finishes in a race, the Place and Show Pools shall be apportioned among the holders of place and show tickets on that horse.

2411. If only two horses finish in a race, the Show Pool shall be apportioned among the holders of show tickets on those two horses.

2412. Any ruling of the Stewards with regard to the reward of purse money made after the sign "Official" has been purposely displayed by the Placing Judges shall have no bearing on the mutuel payoff.

2413. Whenever there is a difference in any pool or pools; i.e., a difference between the sum total of the wagers on the individual horses as compared with the grand total as shown by the Tote Board, the larger amount shall be used as the basis for computing the payoff. The said larger amount shall be used as the base on which the commissions are computed and paid to the franchise holder and to the Racing Commission respectively, except that at racetracks which use equipment such as computers, which make it possible to determine immediately the correct amount of money wagered, the correct amount so determined shall be used as the basis for computing the payoff and commissions. In cases where the lesser amount is used, the Racing Commission auditor on duty must be in agreement with the figure used.

2415. Payments due on all wagers shall be made in conformity with the well-established practice of the pari-mutuel system. Money wagered on winning tickets is returned in full, plus the profits. The practice is to work in dollars and not in the number of tickets. The break permitted by Law is deducted in all of the calculations arriving at the payoff price; i.e., the odd cents over any multiple of ten cents of winnings per dollar wagered are deducted.

2416. Any claim by a person that a wrong ticket has been delivered to him must be made before leaving the mutuel ticket window. No claim shall be considered thereafter and no claim shall be considered for tickets thrown away, lost, changed, destroyed or mutilated beyond identification. Payment of wagers will be made only on presentation of appropriate pari-mutuel tickets.

2417. Should an emergency arise in connection with the operation of the pari-mutuel department not covered by these Rules and an immediate decision is necessary, the Manager of the Pari-mutuel Department shall make the decision. The Manager of the Pari-mutuel Department shall be properly and timely advised by the Racing Secretary, prior to the beginning of wagering of each race, of the horses that will compete in the race.

2418. No minor shall be allowed to wager, and no jockey in colors shall enter the betting area.

2419. The minimum payout on all winning wagers in live horse racing shall be equal to the amount wagered plus ten percent (10%) (i.e., the minimum payout on a $1.00 wager shall be $1.10, the minimum payout on a $2.00 wager shall be $2.20, etc.). However, in the event of a minus pool in live horse racing, the minimum payout on all winning wagers in that pool shall be equal to the amount wagered plus five percent (5%) (i.e., the minimum payout on a $1.00 wager shall be $1.05, the minimum payout on a $2.00 wager shall be $2.10, etc.).

2420.

(a) The commission authorized by law is deducted from the sum total wagered in the Win Pool. The balance is called the "Net Pool".

(b) The amount wagered on the winner is then divided into the "Net Pool". The quotient thus obtained is the payoff price on the winner for each dollar wagered, and it includes the dollar wagered on the winner.

2421.

(a) The commission authorized by law is deducted from the sum total wagered in the Place Pool. The balance is called the "Net Pool".

(b) The sum total of the amount wagered in the Place Pool on the horses placed first and second is deducted from the "Net Pool". This gives a remainder, which is the profit or winnings. The said profit is divided into two equal parts between those who wagered in the Place Pool, on the winner and those who wagered on the horse that was placed second.

(c) Using the amount wagered in the Place Pool on the winner "to Place" as a divisor and one-half of the profits of the Place Pool as specified in (b) as a dividend, the quotient thus obtained is the profit per dollar wagered in the Place Pool on the winner "to Place".

(d) Using the amount wagered in the Place Pool on the horse placed second "to Place" as a divisor and the other half of the profits as specified in (b) as a dividend, the quotient thus obtained is the profit per dollar wagered in the Place Pool on the second horse "to Place".

(e) In each of the next above paragraphs (c) and (d), the profit per dollar wagered is the resultant. The sums wagered on the horses placed first and second must be returned, therefore add to the quotient the dollar taken out of the "Net Pool" in (b). The result is the payoff for each dollar wagered on horses placed first and second in the Place Pool.

2422.

(a) The commission authorized by law is deducted from the sum total wagered in the "Show Pool". The balance is called the "Net Pool".

(b) The sum total of the amount wagered in the Show Pool on the horses placed first, second and third is deducted from the "Net Pool". This gives a remainder, which is the profit or winnings. The said profit is divided into three equal parts among those who wagered in the Show Pool on the winner, the second horse and the third horse.

(c) Using the amount wagered in the Show Pool on the winner "to Show" as a divisor and one-third of the profits of the Show Pool as specified in (b) as a dividend, the quotient thus obtained is the profit per dollar wagered in the Show Pool on the winner "to Show".

(d) Using the amount wagered in the Show Pool on the horse placed second "to Show" as a divisor and one-third of the profits as specified in (b) as a dividend, the quotient thus obtained is the profit per dollar wagered in the Show Pool on the second horse "to Show".

(e) Using the amount wagered in the Show Pool on the horse placed third "to Show" as a divisor and one-third of the profits as specified in (b) as a dividend, the quotient thus obtained is the profit per dollar in the Show Pool wagered on the third horse "to Show".

(f) In each of the next above paragraphs (c), (d) and (d), the profit per dollar wagered is the resultant. The sums wagered on the horses placed first, second and third must be returned, therefore add to the quotient the dollar taken out of the "Net Pool" in (b). The result is the payoff price for each dollar wagered on horses placed first, second and third in the Show Pool.

2423. In the case of a Dead Heat in the Straight Pool, the payoff prices shall be figured as in a Place Pool.

(a) In the case of a Dead Heat for second in the Place Pool, the winner of the race receives its half share of the profits in that pool; and each of the two horses that Dead Heat for second receives one-half of the remaining half of the profit.

(b) In the case of a Dead Heat for third or "Show" in the Show Pool, the first and second horses each receive a normal one-third of the profits in that pool; and the two horses that Dead Heat for third each receive one-half of the remaining third of the profits.

(c) Where two or more horses racing for one interest or Field horses participate in Dead Heats, each horse of the Entry or Field is entitled to his/her proportionate share of the profits in the Pool in which the Dead Heat occurs and the other pools affected. For example: Where two horses of an Entry or Field "Dead Heat" for win, the win and place prices are calculated as Straight Pools, and the Entry is entitled to two-thirds of the profits of the Show Pool.

2424.

(a) Two Daily Doubles will be permitted during any single racing program.

(b) If no ticket is sold combining the two winners of the Daily Double, the pool shall then be apportioned equally between those having tickets including the winner in the first race of the Daily Double and those having tickets including the winner in the last race of the Daily Double in the same manner in which a Place Pool is calculated and distributed.

(c) If no ticket is sold including the winner of the first race of the Daily Double, then the entire pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the last race of the Daily Double.

(d) Likewise, if no ticket is sold including the winner of the last race of the Daily Double, the entire pool will be paid to the holders of tickets which include the winner of the first race of the Daily Double.

(e) If no ticket is sold including a winner of either race of the Daily Double, then the pool shall be paid to holders of tickets which include the horses finishing second in the two races of the Daily Double.

(f) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of the Daily Double pool to a winner under the sub-sections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Rule 2424, the Association shall make a complete and full refund of the Daily Double Pool.

(g) There shall be a refund of Daily Double wagers in the event of a horse being scratched before the betting on the Daily Double has closed. (This refund is to apply only to wagers on the horse scratched.)

(h) It is required that a complete tabulation of sale or "take-off" of all combinations of tickets in the Daily Double Pool be made, and a copy of said "take-off" be in the hands of the Racing Commission auditor as soon as practicable.

(i) In the event a horse is scratched or excused in the second half of the Daily Double, after the first half is official, all tickets combining the scratched horse with the winner of the first half of the Daily Double shall be paid a price per dollar denomination calculated as follows: The net Daily Double Pool (gross pool less commission) shall be divided by the purchase price of all tickets combining the winner of the first half, and the quotient thus obtained shall be the price to be paid to holders of tickets combining the winner of the first half and the scratched or excused horse in the second half. The entire consolation pool (number of eligible tickets times the consolation), shall be deducted from the Daily Double Pool.

(j) Before the running of the race comprising the last half of the Daily Double Pool, there shall be displayed in a prominent place, easily visible from the grandstand, clubhouse and bleachers, the payoff of each combination coupled with the winner of the first half of the Daily Double.

(k) In case of a Dead Heat for winner in the first half of the Daily Double, the payoff of the Daily Double need not be posted until after the running of the second half of the Daily Double, owing to the complicated calculations involved. However, announcement of this fact must be made over the loudspeaker and notice to this effect be posted on Tote Board at the conclusion of first half of Daily Double.

(l) If a Dead Heat should result in either the first or second race of the Daily Double, the total pool is figured as a Place Pool.

EXACTA WAGERING

2424.1 The Exacta Pool is a contract by the purchaser of one (1) ticket combining two (2) horses in a single race, selecting the two (2) horses that will subsequently finish first and second in that race. Payment of the ticket shall be made only to the purchaser who has selected the same order of finish as officially posted.

(a) The exacta is not a "parlay" and has no connection with or relation to the win, place and show betting and will be calculated as an entirely separate pool.

(b) If no ticket is sold on the winning combination of an Exacta Pool, the net pool shall be distributed equally between holders of tickets selecting the winning horse to finish first and/or holders of tickets selecting the second place horse to finish second.

(c) If no ticket is sold that would require distribution of an Exacta Pool to winner as above defined, the Association shall make a complete and full refund of Exacta Pool.

(d) In case of a Dead Heat between two (2) horses for first place, the net Exacta Pool shall be calculated and distributed as a place pool to holders of tickets of the winning combinations. In case of a Dead Heat between two (2) horses for second place, the Exacta Pool shall be figured as a place pool, the holders of tickets combining the winning horse and the two (2) horses finishing second participating in the payoff.

(e) In the event of a Dead Heat for second place, if no ticket is sold on one (1) of the two (2) winning combinations, the entire net pool shall be calculated as a Win Pool and distributed to those holding tickets on the other winning combination. If no tickets combine the winning horse with either of the place horses in the Dead Heat, the Exacta Pool shall be calculated and distributed as a Place Pool to holders of tickets representing any interest in the net pool.

(f) In the event of any Entry finishing first and second, the net Exacta Pool shall be distributed to holders of tickets selecting the Entry to win combined with the horse finishing third.

2425. In the event of a Minus Pool, the deficiency shall be absorbed by the breaks accruing for that day. In the event the breaks accruing for that day are not sufficient to absorb such Minus Pool, the remaining deficiency will be borne solely by the franchise holder.

2426. In claiming races on the flat, any horse is subject to claim by (i) any owner in good standing or (ii) a person who has been issued a "claiming authorization" as provided below in Rule 2426 (a "Claiming Authorization"). However, no owner (who has not otherwise been issued a Claiming Authorization) may claim a horse at Oaklawn unless that owner (either individually or through co-ownership, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity in which the owner owns an equity interest);

(1) has foal papers on file in the Oaklawn racing office with respect to a horse eligible to race at Oaklawn, or

(2) has started a horse at the Oaklawn meeting and does not currently have foal papers on file in the racing office with respect to a horse eligible to race at Oaklawn because the owner's last horse(s) was claimed (i.e., in the case of (1) or (2) above, that owner is not required to obtain a "Claiming Authorization" and is immediately eligible to claim a horse at Oaklawn, provided such claim is in compliance with all other applicable claiming rules).

CLAIMING AUTHORIZATION:

(a) The Stewards or their appointed representatives shall issue a Claiming Authorization to any person who makes application therefor on forms prescribed for that purpose and who:

(1) meets all requirements for the issuance of an owner's license;

(2) either (A) is not presently involved, and does not have a spouse presently involved, as an owner of a horse in thoroughbred racing able and eligible to race at Oaklawn, (B) was an owner (either individually or through co-ownership, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity in which the owner owns an equity interest) of a horse that had an "official start" in a prior race at Oaklawn during the immediately preceding Oaklawn race meet, or (C) has foal papers on file in the Oaklawn racing office with respect to a horse eligible to race at Oaklawn;

(3) has an agreement with a licensed trainer to take charge of, care for and train any horse claimed pursuant to the Claiming Authorization (and the holder of a Claiming Authorization and the trainer shall each promptly notify the Stewards in writing if such agreement is terminated before a horse is successfully claimed);

(4) has at least the amount of the claim on deposit or credited with the horsemen's bookkeeper; and

(5) a claiming certificate may not be utilized until 24 hours shall have elapsed since the application was received and approved by the Stewards.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Claiming Authorization may not be issued to any thoroughbred horse trainer licensed as such in any jurisdiction unless the trainer is a member of a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity that would otherwise be eligible for a Claiming Authorization and the claim is being made by that partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity.

(b) The Claiming Authorization shall be valid for the race meet in which it is issued or until such earlier time as the person to whom the Claiming Authorization was issued (i) executes a claim and becomes an owner of a horse through use of the Claiming Authorization, or (ii) in the case of a Claiming Authorization issued to a person under section 2426(a)(2)(A) above, through private purchase. A person shall not be eligible for issuance of more than one (1) Claiming Authorization for the same race meeting unless the person presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Stewards that the person is no longer the owner (either individually or through co-ownership, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity in which the owner owns an equity interest) of a horse able to race at Oaklawn because of illness or injury to the horse.

(c) If the applicant has not been issued an owner's license for the current race meet, the same fee charged for an owner's license shall be payable to the Commission by the applicant prior to issuance of a Claiming Authorization. The holder of a Claiming Authorization shall not, by virtue thereof, be entitled to admission to the grandstand, clubhouse, or other spectator facility at prices less than those charged the general public.

(d) An application for Claiming Authorization may be denied or revoked for any reason that would justify denial, suspension or revocation of an owner's license. Any person whose Claiming Authorization is denied or revoked shall have the same rights to notice and hearing as an owner whose license is denied, suspended or revoked.

(e) A holder of a Claiming Authorization for the current race meet who has not previously been granted an owner's license for the current race meet will be issued an owner's license without payment of any additional fees, but subject to the other requirements for issuance of an owner's license.

2426-A.

(1) First Waiver. At the time of entry into a claiming race, the owner (or trainer acting under authorization from the owner) may opt to declare a horse ineligible to be claimed provided:

(a) the horse has not been an official starter in a race at any racetrack for a minimum of sixty (60) days since its last race as an official starter;

(b) the horse's last race as an official starter was a claiming race in which the horse was eligible to be claimed;

(c) the horse is entered for a claiming price equal to or greater than the claiming price at which it last started as an official starter;

(d) failure to declare the horse ineligible at the time of entry may not be remedied; and

(e) ineligibility to be claimed under this First Waiver Rule 2426-A(1) shall apply only to the horse's first start as an official starter following each such 60-day or longer layoff.

(2) Second Waiver. At the time of entry into a claiming race, the owner (or trainer acting under authorization from the owner) may opt to declare a horse ineligible to be claimed provided:

(a) the horse was properly declared ineligible to be claimed in its immediately preceding race at Oaklawn under the First Waiver Rule 2426-A(1) above (i.e., its "First Race Back"),

(b) the horse was an official starter in its First Race Back and was not the official winner in its First Race Back,

(c) the horse has not been an official starter in a race at any racetrack since its First Race Back;

(d) the horse is entered for a claiming price equal to or greater than the claiming price at which it last started as an official starter;

(e) failure to declare the horse ineligible at the time of entry may not be remedied; and

(f) ineligibility to be claimed under this Second Waiver Rule 2426-A(2) shall apply only to the horse's next start as an official starter following the horse's First Race Back.

2427. A claim maybe made by an authorized agent, but agent may claim only for the account of those for whom he is licensed as agent.

2428. No person shall claim his own horse or cause his own horse to be claimed, directly or indirectly, for his own account.

2429. No person shall claim more than one horse from any one race.

2430. When a stable consists of horses owned by more than one person and trained by the same trainer, no more than one claim (in the aggregate) may be entered on behalf of such stable or any member of such stable in any one race..

2431. The claiming price of each horse in a claiming race shall be printed in the official program, and all claims for said horse shall be for the amount so designated.

2432. Each claim shall be made in writing on a form supplied by the franchise holder. It shall be properly signed and enclosed in an envelope provided for the purpose by the Racing Secretary. The envelope shall have no identification mark on it, but it shall be marked with the number of the race. It shall be sealed and deposited in a locked box provided for this purpose by the Racing Secretary.

2433. No money or its equivalent shall be put in the claiming box. For a claim to be valid the person making the claim must have a credit balance in his account with the franchise holder's horseman's account of not less than the amount of the claim (plus any applicable sales tax).

All claims shall be deposited in the claiming box at least fifteen (15) minutes before the established post time of the race out of which the claim is made.

2434.

(a) Claims are irrevocable except as otherwise provided in subsection (e) of this Rule.

(b) At the time of filing the claim form, claimants shall have the right to designate on the claim form a request for a post-race test of the claimed horse for beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and blood doping agents determined from time to time by the Commission Veterinarian, including, but not limited to, clenbuterol, Erythropoietin, Darbepoetin, Oxyglobin and Hemopure, (a "Blood Doping Agent"). In the event a request for the post-race test for beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and Blood Doping Agents is marked on the successful claimant's claim form, the claimed horse shall be taken to the test barn immediately after the race, a blood, urine and/or hair sample shall be obtained from the horse by the Commission Veterinarian or Commission Veterinarian's assistant, and the sample shall be submitted to a Commission-approved laboratory to test for the presence of beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and Blood Doping Agent antibodies. The blood, urine or hair sample shall be taken, contained and submitted to the Commission-approved laboratory in accordance with the rules and procedures, including split samples, applicable to other post-race tests for foreign substances. The beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and Blood Doping Agents to be tested for shall include clenbuterol, Erythropoietin, Darbepoetin, Oxyglobin, Hemopure and such other beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and blood doping agents determined from time to time by the Commission Veterinarian.

(c) The successful claimant shall be responsible for paying the cost for the test for beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and Blood Doping Agents. This cost shall be posted by the Commission Veterinarian and shall be deducted from the successful claimant's account with the horsemen's bookkeeper.

(d) If for any reason the claimed horse is unable to go to the test barn following the race, the Commission Veterinarian or Commission Veterinarian's Assistant will make reasonable efforts to reach the horse and obtain a blood, urine and/or hair sample for testing. If for any reason the Commission Veterinarian or Commission Veterinarian's Assistant is unable or otherwise fails to obtain a blood, urine or hair sample, the successful claimant's right to revoke the claim under this Rule shall be forfeited.

(e) The successful claimant shall have the right to void the claim if the Stewards determine that the blood, urine or hair sample from the claimed horse exhibited a positive response to the test for any beta-2 agonist, anabolic steroid or Blood Doping Agent under the testing guidelines established by the Commission Veterinarian; provided, any such revocation of the claim must be submitted in writing to the Stewards within the forty-eight (48) hour period after the Stewards' decision on the positive test result is made public, as set forth below.

(f) Once the Stewards' determination of the positive test result for beta-2 agonists, anabolic steroids and a Blood Doping Agent is made public, the successful claimant shall have forty-eight (48) hours thereafter to exercise his or her right to revoke the claim. Such revocation must be in writing and must be submitted to the Stewards within said forty-eight (48) hour time period. If no such revocation is received by the Stewards within the designated forty-eight (48) hour time period, the successful claimant shall forfeit the right to revoke the claim.

(k) Should a multiple Dead Heat for win result in a Quinella race, all horses involved in the Dead Heat shall be winners of the Quinella and payoffs figured accordingly. Example: Should numbers 1, 3 and 5 Dead Heat for win, the winning Quinella combinations would be 1-3, 1-5, 3-1, 3-5, 5-1, 5-3. The net pool, after deducting the amount wagered on the winning combinations, will be equally distributed in payoff calculations on the winning combinations.

(l) Should a two (2) horse Dead Heat for place result in a Quinella race, the total pool is calculated as a Place Pool.

If there is no valid ticket sold that correctly designates the official winner of at least two (2) of the Pick-5 races, the net amount in the Pick-5 pool shall be distributed among holders of valid tickets that correctly designate the official winner of any one (1) of the races comprising the Pick 5. If there are no winning wagers (i.e., if there is no valid ticket sold that correctly designates the official winner of at least one (1) of the Pick-5 races), the Pick-5 pool shall be refunded.

(c) If there is a dead heat for first in any of the Pick-5 races involving:

i. Horses representing the same betting interest, the net Pick-5 pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

ii. Horses representing two (2) or more betting interests, all such horses in the dead heat for win shall be considered as winning horses in the race for purposes of calculating the Pick-5 pool and payouts to the public.

(d) Should a betting interest in any of the Pick-5 races be scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the Win pool at the host association for the race at the close of wagering on that race, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes of the Pick 5, including the Pick-5 pool calculations. In the event that the Win pool total at the host association for the race at the close of wagering on that race for two (2) or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalizator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.

(e) Those horses constituting an Entry of coupled horses or those horses coupled to constitute the Field in a race comprising the Pick-5 shall race as a single wagering interest for purposes of the Pick-5 pool calculations and payouts to the public. If only part of an Entry or part of the Field racing as a single interest scratch and any part of the Entry or part of the Field racing as a single interest is a starter in the race, the Entry of the Field selection shall remain as the designated selection to win in that race for the Pick-5 calculation, and the selection of the Entry or Field, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a scratch.

(f) The Pick-5 pool shall be canceled and all Pick-5 wagers for that Pick-5 shall be refunded if at least three (3) contests included as part of such Pick-5 are canceled or declared "no contest."

(g) If one (1) or two (2) contest(s) included as part of a Pick-5 are canceled or declared "no contest," the net Pick-5 pool shall be distributed as a single price pool among the holders of valid tickets that designate the first-place finisher in the greatest number of remaining Pick-5 races for that Pick-5.

(h) Providing information to any person regarding covered combinations, amounts wagered on specific combinations, number of tickets sold, or number of live tickets remaining is strictly prohibited until such time as the Stewards have determined the last race comprising the Pick-5 to be official. This shall not prohibit necessary communication between totalizator and pari-mutuel department employees for processing of pool data.

(i) The Association may suspend previously approved Pick-5 wagering with the prior approval of the Racing Commission.

In addition, the franchise holder shall retain and deposit into the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund account the amount required to be withheld by the franchise holder for such purposes pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-405(b)(3)(B), and such amounts shall likewise be considered Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys.

(b) The Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund account shall be established and maintained in federally insured financial institutions selected by the franchise holder. Such financial institutions shall be located in the State of Arkansas, provided, however, if the franchise holder obtains a loan for construction purposes from a financial institution located outside the State of Arkansas, the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund account may be maintained there as long as the loan is outstanding. All such funds shall be maintained in interest bearing accounts whenever reasonably possible. Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys shall be used only for purses and construction, for debt service on money borrowed by the franchise holder for construction, or for promotions to encourage patronage and tourism consistent with the provisions of Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-407(a)(3).

(c)

(A) "Construction", as used in this Rule, shall include all items and expenditures incurred in keeping the overall racing facility in the best possible condition for the patrons, horsemen, and franchise holder, including, without limitation, land acquisition (provided that the franchise holder submits plans for utilizing the acquired land for an approved purpose within five (5) years of the acquisition), new construction with related equipment, and reconstruction, renovation, reconditioning, and repairing of facilities with related equipment.

(B) "Construction", as used in this Rule, shall not include ordinary or routine maintenance of the overall racing facility and shall not include the construction or improvement of areas of the racing facility not generally accessible by, or used for the benefit of, either the horsemen or patrons, or both.

(C) "Construction", as used in this Rule, shall not apply to office furniture, office telephones, or other office equipment primarily devoted to the use of the franchise holder and providing little or no benefit to either horsemen or patrons, or both.

(d) The franchise holder may be reimbursed only for construction and patronage and tourism promotion expenditures from the Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund after submitting a claim that itemizes each expenditure listing the specific expenditure and the payee of the expenditure and stating in specific terms with respect to construction expenditures how the expenditure jointly benefits the patrons, horsemen, and franchise holder.

(e) The Racing Commission shall have jurisdiction and shall seek the assistance of the Department of Finance and Administration ("DF&A") to check and verify compliance by the franchise holder with the provisions of this Rule. The Racing Commission shall make periodic determinations as to compliance under this Rule and under such other rules and regulations as the Racing Commission shall adopt.

(f) The franchise holder must deliver to the Racing Commission any documents reasonably requested by the Racing Commission, and the franchise holder must deliver to DF&aA any documents reasonably requested by DF&A, to check and verify compliance with this Rule, within thirty (30) days of receiving a written request for the documents. If the Racing Commission does not receive the documents requested by the Racing Commission within the time period provided, or if the DFA does not receive the documents requested by DF&A within the time period provided (and the Director of the DF&A so notifies the Racing Commission), no reimbursement shall be approved from the Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund until the documents are delivered.

(g) The franchise holder may seek prior approval from the Racing Commission for expenditures. The application for the approval must contain the information required by subsection (d) of this Rule; provided if the exact amount of the expenditure is not then known, the franchise holder shall use its best estimate, and if the precise contractor or payee is not then known, the franchise holder may provide that information prior to final approval of the expenditure by the Racing Commission as set forth below. The initial approval will be subject to a final approval by the Racing Commission that the expenditures were made for the approved purposes in compliance with the requirements of this Rule and Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-407(a)(3), and the Racing Commission shall seek assistance from the DF&A to verify that the expenditures were made for the approved purposes.

(h) The franchise holder shall be solely responsible for planning and accomplishing all construction and for accountings. Before undertaking any construction project estimated to cost $100,000 or more, the franchise holder shall give the Committee (identified in subsection (l) of this Rule) at least fifteen (15) days notice of the proposed project and its estimated cost, which notice shall contain sufficient information to adequately apprise the Committee of what is being undertaken. If the Committee wants a meeting concerning the proposed project, it shall advise the franchise holder within the fifteen (15) days. If there is no request for a meeting, the franchise holder may proceed with the project. If there is a request for a meeting, the franchise holder may proceed after the meeting in accordance with the action taken by the Committee at the meeting. If the estimated cost of a Project is less than $100,000, the franchise holder may proceed immediately but must notify the Committee within sixty (60) days of the project and its estimated cost, which notice shall contain sufficient information to adequately apprise the Committee of what is being undertaken. If the Committee wants a meeting concerning the proposed project it shall advise the franchise holder within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice. If there is no request for a meeting, the franchise holder may proceed with the project. If there is a request for a meeting, the franchise holder may proceed after the meeting in accordance with the action taken by the Committee at the meeting.

(i) On or before June 1 of each year the franchise holder shall file a report with the Committee reflecting the purpose and amounts of expenditures for construction and promotions to encourage patronage and tourism during the preceding calendar year. The report shall be accompanied by a statement from the franchise holder's independent certified public accounting firm that the report accurately reflects the purposes and amounts of construction and patronage and tourism promotion expenditures. Also, on or before June 1 of each year the franchise holder shall file a report with the Committee specifying the amount of Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys used for purses during the preceding calendar year.

(j) The Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys shall not be subject to the provisions of any contract or agreement between the franchise holder and the organization representing horsemen, to the end that any contractual obligations for the use of moneys for purses shall not apply to any expenditures for construction or patronage and tourism promotion out of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys, and any expenditures for purses out of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys shall be in addition to contractual purse obligations affecting moneys other than the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys. The franchise holder shall determine the amount of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys to be used for the authorized purposes, except that at least one-half (1/2) of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys must be used for purses.

(k) No expenditures shall be made from the Purse and Construction Fund to any construction company, material supplier or other entity directly involved in an actual construction project in which an officer, director, employee or shareholder of the franchise holder or their spouse, children or grandchildren have any type of significant financial interest, or receive significant financial benefits.

(l) The Racing Commission shall appoint a three member committee, to include the Director of the Department of Finance & Administration (the "Committee"), to examine and to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, the reports filed by the franchise holder pursuant to subsection (i) of this Rule. Committee action shall be reported to the full Racing Commission for approval or ratification, but the franchise holder may proceed on the basis of any Committee action until it shall be notified that the full Commission has taken contrary action. The Committee may, in its discretion, have an auditor from the Department of Finance & Administration conduct an audit of all deposits and expenditures of Purse, Construction and patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund Moneys for any calendar year. In that event, the franchise holder shall make available to the auditor all records necessary for the audit.

(m) As authorized by Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-407(a)(3), accountings for expenditures for construction and patronage and tourism promotion out of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund Moneys may utilize a multi-year approach based on a multi-year program being undertaken by the franchise holder so that accountability for expenditures may be based on expenditures made during the entire multi-year period out of the Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund Moneys derived during the multi-year period; provided that the multi-year period shall not exceed five (5) years, unless the Racing Commission makes a specific determination that a longer period is necessary to finance long-term construction projects for the joint benefit of patrons, horsemen, and the franchise holder. Authorized expenditures will be determined on the basis of what is expended during the entire multi-year period and not on what is expended in any one year. For example, if in the first year less is expended for construction than the eligible amount, the unused amount will carry over to the next year and if in that year more is expended than the eligible amount plus any carry over, the excess shall be carried forward to the next year and credited against the franchise holder's expenditures, and so forth.

(n) If money is borrowed for an authorized purpose, then Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund Moneys may be used for debt service (principal, interest and service charges) on the loan. The franchise holder shall account to the Racing Commission for expenditures from the proceeds of any loan, to insure that eligible items are involved.

(o) If the amount of approved expenditures exceeds the balance of the Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund, the excess amount will remain payable to the franchise holder out of the Purse, Construction, and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Fund; provided that, with respect to expenditures incurred by the franchise holder on or after January 1, 2001, interest shall not accrue on the deficit balance, unless the interest is payable to an unrelated third-party lender with respect to indebtedness directly incurred to finance construction expenditures as contemplated by this Rule and Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-407(a)(3).

(p) If the franchise holder makes any expenditure of Purse, Construction and Patronage and Tourism Promotion Moneys in good faith and it is subsequently determined that all or part of that expenditure does not qualify as an authorized purpose under this Rule or Ark. Code Ann. Section 23-110-407(a)(3), the franchise holder may use the unqualified amount for another purpose that is qualified. If, after the franchise holder is afforded that opportunity, there is a final determination that there remains at the end of the applicable multi-year period an amount that represents an unauthorized expenditure, that amount shall be paid to the Racing Commission for the use and benefit of the State of Arkansas.

2700. The franchise holder shall pay to the Racing Commission for deposit in the Arkansas Racing Commission Purse and Awards Fund, to be used for purse supplements, breeders' awards, owners' awards, and stallion awards as provided in Ark. Code Ann.

B. Foreign substances prohibited

(a) No horse participating in a race shall carry in its body any foreign substance except as provided by these rules. A finding by the chemist or commission designee that a foreign substance is present in the test sample shall be prima facie evidence that such foreign substance was administered and carried in the body of the horse while participating in a race. Such a finding shall also be taken as prima facie evidence that the trainer and his or her agents responsible for the care or custody of the horse have been negligent in the handling or care of the horse.

(b) Upon a finding of a violation of this section, the owners or lessees of the horse from which the specimen was obtained shall forfeit any purse money and any trophy or award. However, forfeiture of any purse, trophy, or award for an overage of phenylbutazone, flunixin, ketoprofen, or furosemide in violation of these rules shall be consistent with Recommended Penalties of the Association of Racing Commissioners, International.

F. Furosemide as a permitted foreign substance

Except as otherwise provided in Rule 1232(5):

Furosemide may be administered intravenously to a horse, which is entered to compete in a race. Except under the instructions of the commission veterinarian or the racing veterinarian for the purpose of removing a horse from the veterinarian's list or to facilitate the collection of a post- race urine sample, furosemide shall be permitted only after the commission veterinarian has placed the horse on the furosemide list. In order for a horse to be placed on the furosemide list, the following process must be followed:

(1) After the horse's licensed trainer and practicing veterinarian determine that it would be in the horse's best interests to race with furosemide, they shall notify the official veterinarian or his/her designee, using the prescribed form, that they wish the horse to be put on the furosemide list.

(2) The form must be received by the commission veterinarian or his/her designee by the proper time deadlines so as to ensure public notification.

(3) A horse placed on the official furosemide list must remain on that list unless the licensed trainer and practicing veterinarian submit a written request to remove the horse from the list. The request must be made to the commission veterinarian or his/her designee, on the proper form, no later than the time of entry.

(4) After a horse has been removed from the furosemide list, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of sixty (60) calendar days unless it is determined to be detrimental to the welfare of the horse, in consultation with the commission veterinarian. If a horse is removed from the official furosemide list a second time in a three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, the horse may not be placed back on the list for a period of ninety (90) calendar days.

(5) Furosemide shall only be administered on association grounds.

(6) Upon the request of the regulatory agency designee, the veterinarian administering the authorized bleeder medication shall surrender the syringe used to administer such medication, which may then be submitted for testing.

(7) Time of treatment. Horses qualified for medication and so indicated on the official bleeder list must be treated at least four (4) hours prior to post time.

(8) Medication administration. Bleeder medication shall be administered by a veterinarian licensed by the commission at an intravenous dose level not to exceed two hundred fifty (250) milligrams and no less than one hundred fifty (150) milligrams; provided, with approval of the official veterinarian, a dose of up to five hundred (500) milligrams may be administered. Administration of furosemide shall take place in the horse's stall or a specific location otherwise designated by the commission

(9) Out-of-state horses. A bleeder horse shipped into the state from another jurisdiction may be automatically eligible to receive furosemide provided that the jurisdiction from which it was shipped qualified it as a bleeder using criteria satisfactory to this state. The Daily Racing Form, Equibase, the breed registry foal certificate, or bleeder certificate may be utilized in determining a horse's eligibility to receive furosemide.

(10) The test level of furosemide under this rule shall not be in excess of fifty (50) nanograms per milliliter of serum or plasma and shall not be below a urine specific gravity of one and ten one-thousandths (1.010); provided, if the official veterinarian shall have approved a dose of up to 500 milligrams of furosemide, the test level of furosemide under this rule shall not be in excess of one hundred (100) nanograms per milliliter of serum or plasma and shall not be below a urine specific gravity of one and ten one-thousandths (1.010). If an insufficient volume of urine is obtained, a positive test shall be based upon quantitative testing performed on blood serum or plasma only. Split sample testing shall be quantitative and be performed on blood serum or plasma only.

G. Bleeding from nostrils

A horse known to have bled from its nostrils for the first time within a 365-day period during a race or workout may not race during the next 14 days without prior approval by the commission veterinarian or his/her designee. If a horse bleeds from its nostrils a second time within a 365-day period, the horse shall be placed on the veterinarian's list and prohibited from racing for a minimum of 30 days. If a horse bleeds from its nostrils a third time within a 365-day period, the horse shall be placed on the veterinarian's list and prohibited from racing for at least 180 days. If a horse bleeds from its nostrils a fourth time within 365 days, the horse will be barred from racing in Arkansas. For the purpose of counting, the number of days a horse is ineligible starts the day after the horse is observed bleeding.

A horse that bleeds from its nostrils, but upon endoscopic examination shows no sign of pulmonary hemorrhage, shall not be subject to the restrictions imposed by this section. After expiration of the ineligibility period, a horse must perform a workout without bleeding, to the satisfaction of the commission veterinarian. Prior to the workout, a blood sample may be collected by the Commission veterinarian and sent to the commission's testing laboratory. After the workout, the commission veterinarian may witness an endoscopic examination of the horse to confirm the horse has not bled.

H. Program information

In order to inform the race track patrons of those horses racing with medication, the permit holder shall indicate in the racing program that a horse is racing with permitted foreign substances for race day administration.

I. Drug classification and penalties

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), upon a finding of a violation of this rule, the stewards shall consider the classification level of the violation as currently established by the Uniform Classification Guidelines of Foreign Substances and Recommended Penalties and Model Rule as revised by the ARCI and impose penalties and disciplinary measures consistent with the recommendations contained therein. Provided, however, that in the event a majority of the stewards determine that mitigating circumstances require imposition of a lesser penalty they may impose the lesser penalty. In the event a majority of the stewards wish to impose a greater penalty or a penalty in excess of the authority granted them, then, and in such event, they may impose the maximum penalty authorized and refer the matter to the commission with specific recommendations for further action.

(b) Cobalt shall carry a category "B" penalty, as established by the Recommended Penalties and Model Rule, regardless of its presence in a post-race or out of competition sample. The stewards shall consider levels less than fifty (50) parts per billion a mitigating factor and levels of one hundred (100) parts per billion or more an aggravating factor when determining penalties.

J. Environmental contaminants and substances of human use

(1) Environmental contaminants are either endogenous to the horse or can arise from plants traditionally grazed or harvested as equine feed or are present in equine feed because of contamination during the cultivation, processing, treatment, storage or transportation phases.

(2) Substances of human use and addiction may be found in the horse due to its close association with humans.

(3) If the preponderance of evidence presented in the hearing shows that a positive test is the result of environmental contamination, including inadvertent exposure due to human drug use, or dietary intake, or is endogenous to the horse, those factors should be considered in mitigation of any disciplinary action taken against the affected trainer. Disciplinary action shall only be taken if test sample results exceed the regulatory thresholds in the most recent version of the ARCI Endogenous, Dietary, or Environmental Substances Schedule.

(4) The identification and adoption of these uniform thresholds for certain substances

K. Laboratory reports

A finding by a chemist at a commission-approved equine drug testing laboratory that a test sample taken from a horse contains a drug or its metabolites or analogs, or any substance foreign to the natural horse, any drug found in excess of the commission-approved levels, substances present in the horse in excess of concentrations at which such substances could occur naturally, or substances foreign to a horse at concentrations that cause interference with testing procedures shall be prima facie evidence that such foreign substance has been administered to the horse either internally or externally in violation of this rule. It is presumed that:

(1) the sample of urine, saliva, blood, hair, or other acceptable specimen tested by the approved laboratory to which it is sent is taken from the horse in question, its integrity is preserved;

(2) all accompanying procedures of collection, preservation, transfer to the laboratory, and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate; and

(3) the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the horse in question and correctly reflects the condition of the horse during the race in which it was entered or, in a case of out of competition testing, when the test sample was taken; with the burden on the trainer, assistant trainer, or other responsible person to prove otherwise at any hearing in regard to the matter conducted by the stewards or the commission.

L. Pre-race testing

The stewards may require any horse entered to race to submit to a blood test, and no horse is eligible to start in a race until the owner or trainer complies with the required testing procedure.

M. Selection of horses tested

(a) The stewards, the commission veterinarian or the executive director of the commission may order a blood test, hair test, or urine test, or all three (3), on a horse for the purpose of analysis.

(b) A blood specimen, hair specimen, or urine specimen, or all three (3), shall be taken from the following horses after the running of each race:

(1) The horse that finishes first in each race.

(2) Any other horses designated by the stewards, the commission veterinarian or the executive director of the commission.

(3) The stewards and the commission veterinarian designate for the taking of such a specimen a horse that races markedly contrary to form.

N. Taking of samples

(a) Blood, urine, saliva, hair, or other samples shall be:

(1) taken under the direction of the commission veterinarian or persons appointed or assigned by the commission veterinarian for such purposes;

(2) taken in a detention area approved by the commission unless the commission veterinarian or stewards approves otherwise;

(3) witnessed, confirmed, or acknowledged by the trainer of the horse being tested or his or her authorized representative or employee and may be witnessed by the owner, trainer, or other licensed person designated by them;

(4) sent to racing laboratories approved and designated by the commission in such manner as the commission or its designee may direct; and

(5) in the custody of the commission veterinarian, his or her assistants, or other persons approved by the executive director or the commission veterinarian from the time they are taken until they are delivered for shipment to the testing laboratory.

No person shall tamper with, adulterate, add to, break the seal of, remove, or otherwise attempt to so alter or violate any sample required to be collected by this rule, except for the addition of preservatives or substances necessarily added by the commission approved laboratory for preservation of the sample or in the process of analysis.

(b) The commission has the authority to direct the approved laboratory to retain and preserve samples for future analysis.

(c) The fact that purse money has been distributed shall not be deemed a finding that no chemical substance has been administered in violation of the provisions of this rule to the horse earning such purse money.

O. Split Sample procedures

(a) All collection procedures shall be done in accordance with chain of custody guidelines.

(b) The owner or trainer of any horse which has a drug overage or positive will have 96 hours to notify the stewards or commission veterinarian they wish to have a split sample tested at a RMTC accredited laboratory.

(c) Before sending an equine sample to the primary testing laboratory, the commission veterinarian or a designated commission employee shall divide the specimen into two (2) parts provided a sufficient amount is collected.

(d) The commission veterinarian or a designated commission employee shall attempt to collect a minimum of fifty (50) milliliters of urine. A urine specimen shall not be split if less than fifty (50) milliliters is collected from the horse. In such instances, the commission is entitled to submit the entire urine specimen for testing or detain the horse an adequate amount of time until it can be obtained. If an insufficient volume of urine is obtained, the trainer and owner are not entitled to a split sample.

(e) The commission veterinarian, a licensed veterinarian authorized by the commission, or a veterinary technician under the direct supervision of a commission veterinarian shall collect a minimum of thirty (30) milliliters of blood, which shall be divided into two (2) portions, one (1) of which shall be forwarded to the primary laboratory.

(f) The commission veterinarian, a licensed veterinarian authorized by the commission, or a veterinary technician under the direct supervision of a commission authorized veterinarian shall collect a minimum of a hair sample that is at least the same size in diameter as a standard lead pencil.

(g) If the retained part of a specimen is sent for testing, the commission veterinarian or designated commission employee shall arrange for the transportation of the specimen in a manner that ensures the integrity of the sample.

(h) Blood samples shall be centrifuged.

P. Storage and shipment of split samples

(a) The commission veterinarian or his/her designee shall store the retained part of a specimen in secure, limited access storage at a site approved by the commission for the period required by this section.

(b) If the results of the initial test on a specimen are negative, the commission veterinarian, or his/her designee, or primary laboratory may discard the retained part of the specimen upon receipt of the negative result. If the result of the initial test on a specimen is positive, the commission veterinarian, or his/her designee, or primary laboratory may discard the retained part of the specimen after the expiration of the period during which an owner or trainer may request the retained part be sent for split testing.

(c) The identity of the drug or drug metabolites may be revealed to the split sample laboratory. Communication between the primary and split sample laboratory is limited to the exchange of the analytical method and the threshold level used to confirm the drug's identity.

(d) The association shall be responsible for providing sufficient freezer space to accommodate the retained specimens.

Q. Administrative procedures prior to split sample testing

(a) The results of all tests performed by the primary laboratory or laboratories are confidential until such time a ruling is issued in that matter and shall only be communicated to the commission, commission staff, stewards, owner, and trainer. Notice of a positive test result may be communicated verbally to the trainer. The trainer shall be responsible for promptly notifying the owner of a horse of a positive test as reported by the primary laboratory.

(b) The trainer or owner of a horse for which a positive result on a drug test is returned may request that the stewards submit the retained part of the specimen for testing in accordance with this section. The specimen must be tested by a laboratory that is identified on the list of approved laboratories maintained by the commission and acceptable to the following:

(1) The commission.

(2) The primary laboratory.

Laboratories providing split sample testing shall be RMTC accredited unless otherwise approved by the commission. The request must be in writing, include the laboratory selection, and must be delivered to the stewards not later than ninety-six (96) hours after the trainer has received notice of a positive test result. Failure to request testing of a split sample and provide all necessary information within ninety-six (96) hours shall constitute a waiver of the right. The split sample laboratory shall be contacted by a representative of the commission to request acceptance of a split sample. The trainer or owner may choose any laboratory on the commission maintained applicable list to test the sample. However, the commission or executive director may limit the choice of laboratory for the detection of specific drugs.

(c) The trainer or owner may elect to waive his or her right to testing of a split sample.

(d) The owner or trainer of a horse who submits a specimen for drug testing is entitled to be present or have a representative present at any time that the retained part of the specimen is prepared for storage or is tested.

(e) The split sample laboratory may require the owner or trainer of a horse who submits a specimen for testing to execute a hold harmless agreement for the split sample laboratory and an agreement that the results of the split sample laboratory can be introduced as evidence in any hearing. The agreements shall remain in the hands of the stewards.

(f) The trainer or owner may request that negative control samples be tested with the split sample. The identities of the negative control samples and the split sample shall be known only to the commission.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in these Rules, the presence of a drug or drug metabolite in any quantity, excluding phenylbutazone, flunixin, ketoprofen or furosemide, is sufficient for a finding of a positive test.

R. Administrative procedures subsequent to split sample testing

(a) The split sample laboratory shall send a confidential written report on the result of its tests to the commission staff which in turn shall send a confidential report to the trainer and owner forthwith.

(b) No action shall be taken against the trainer or owner if the results of split sample testing are not confirmed.

(c) No hearing shall be held concerning the allegations against the trainer or owner, nor shall purse redistribution take place, until split sample testing has been completed and the results of the primary laboratory have been confirmed.

(d) The owner or trainer shall be notified in writing of the:

(1) results of the primary and split sample laboratories in the case of confirmed positives; and

(2) time and place of any administrative hearings resulting from the findings.

(d) All Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, Radial Pulse Wave Therapy and similar treatments on horses racing at Oaklawn must be reported to the official veterinarian on the prescribed form not later than the time prescribed by the official veterinarian.

Rule 1217.4

Multiple Medication Violations (MMV)

(a) A trainer who receives a penalty for a medication violation based upon a horse testing positive for a Class 1-5 medication with Penalty Class A-C, as provided in the most recent version of the ARCI Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances, shall be assigned points as follows:

Penalty Class Controlled	Points If Controlled Therapeutic Substance	Points If Non Substance
Class A	N/A	6
Class B	2	4
Class C with point for violation	1/2 for first violation with an additional 1/2 point for each additional violation	1 for first violation an additional 1/2 each additional
Class D	within 365 days1 0	within 365 days 0

If the Stewards or Commission determine that the violation is due to environmental contamination, they may assign lesser or no points against the trainer based upon the specific facts of the case.

(b) The points assigned to a medication violation by the Stewards or Commission ruling shall be included in the ARCI official database. The ARCI shall record points, including, when appropriate, a designation that points have been suspended for the medication violation. Points assigned by such regulatory ruling shall reflect, in the case of multiple positive tests whether they constitute a single violation. The Stewards' or Commission's Ruling shall be posted on the official website of the Commission and within the official database of the Association of Racing Commissioners International. If an appeal is pending, that fact shall be noted in such Ruling. No points shall be applied until a final adjudication of the enforcement of any such violation.

(c) A trainer's cumulative points for violations in all racing jurisdictions shall be maintained by the ARCI. Once all appeals are waived or exhausted, the points shall immediately become part of the trainer's official ARCI record and shall be considered by the Commission in its determination to subject the trainer to the mandatory enhanced penalties by the Stewards or Commission as provided in this regulation.

(d) Multiple positive tests for the same medication incurred by a trainer prior to delivery of official notice by the Commission may be treated as a single violation. In the case of a positive test indicating multiple substances found in a single post-race sample, the Stewards may treat each substance found as an individual violation for which points will be assigned, depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case.

(e) The official ARCI record shall be used to advise the Stewards or Commission of a trainer's past record of violations and cumulative points. Nothing in this administrative regulation shall be construed to confer upon a licensed trainer the right to appeal a violation for which all remedies have been exhausted or for which the appeal time has expired as provided by applicable law.

(f) The Stewards or Commission shall consider all points for violations in all racing jurisdictions as contained in the trainer's official ARCI record when determining whether the mandatory enhancements provided in this regulation shall be imposed.

(g) In addition to the penalty for the underlying offense, the following enhancements shall be imposed upon a licensed trainer based upon the cumulative points contained in his/her official ARCI record:

Points	Suspension in days
5-5.5	15 to 30
6-8.5	30 to 60
9-10.5	90 to 180
11 or more	180 to 360

MMV penalties are not a substitute for the current penalty system and are intended to be an additional uniform penalty when the licensee:

(i) Has had more than one medication violation for the relevant time period, and;

(ii) Exceeds the permissible number of points.

The Stewards and Commission shall consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances, including the trainer's prior record for medication violations, when determining the appropriate penalty for the underlying offense. The MMV is intended to be a separate and additional penalty for a pattern of violations.

(h) The suspension periods shall run consecutive to any suspension imposed for the underlying offense.

(i) The Stewards' or Commission's Ruling shall distinguish between the penalty for the underlying offense and any enhancement based upon a Stewards' or Commission's review of the trainer's cumulative points and regulatory record, which may be considered an aggravating factor in a case.

(j) Points shall expire as follows:

Penalty Classification	Time to Expire
A	3 years

DRUG TESTING STANDARDS AND PRACTICES PROGRAM.

Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances And Recommended Penalties Model Rule.

December, 2020 (V.14.4)

Association of Racing Commissioners International

2365 Harrodsburg Road, Suite B-450, Lexington, Kentucky USA 40504 www.arci.com

Preamble to the Uniform Classification Guidelines of Foreign Substances

The Preamble to the Uniform Classification Guidelines was approved by the RCI Drug Testing and Quality Assurance Program Committee (now the Drug Testing Standards and Practices Program Committee) on August 26, 1991. Minor revisions to the Preamble were made by the Drug Classification subcommittee (now the Veterinary Pharmacologists Subcommittee) on September 3, 1991.

"The Uniform Classification Guidelines printed on the following pages are intended to assist stewards, hearing officers and racing commissioners in evaluating the seriousness of alleged violations of medication and prohibited substance rules in racing jurisdictions. Practicing equine veterinarians, state veterinarians, and equine pharmacologists are available and should be consulted to explain the pharmacological effects of the drugs listed in each class prior to any decisions with respect to penalities to be imposed. The ranking of drugs is based on their pharmacology, their ability to influence the outcome of a race, whether or not they have legitimate therapeutic uses in the racing horse, or other evidence that they may be used improperly. These classes of drugs are intended only as guidelines and should be employed only to assist persons adjudicating facts and opinions in understanding the seriousness of the alleged offenses. The facts of each case are always different and there may be mitigating circumstances which should always be considered. These drug classifications will be reviewed frequently and new drugs will be added when appropriate."

Notes Regarding Classification Guidelines

* Where the use of a drug is specifically permitted by a jurisdiction, then the jurisdiction's rule supersedes these penalty guidelines.

* Regulators should be aware that a laboratory report may identify a drug only by the name of its metabolite. The metabolite might not be listed here, but the parent compound may be.

* These classes of drugs are intended only as guidelines and should be employed only to assist persons adjudicating facts and opinions in understanding the seriousness of the alleged offenses.

* The facts of each case are different and there may be mitigating circumstances that should be considered.

* These drug classifications will be reviewed periodically. New drugs will be added or some drugs may be reclassified when appropriate.

* Racing Commissioners International (RCI) and/or the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC) should be consulted for found substances or drugs not included in these guidelines and treated as Class 1 violations warranting a Class A penalty unless otherwise advised.

Classification Criteria

The RCI Drug Classification Scheme is based on 1) pharmacology, 2) drug use patterns, and 3) the appropriateness of a drug for use in the racing horse. Categorization is decided using the following general guidelines:

* Pharmacology. Drugs that are known to be potent stimulants or depressants are placed in higher classes, while those that have (or would be expected to have) little effect on the outcome of a race are placed in lower classes.

* Drug Use Patterns. Some consideration is given to placement of drugs based on practical experience with their use and the nature of positive tests. For example, procaine positives have in the past been associated primarily with the administration of procaine penicillin, and this has been taken into consideration in the placement of procaine into Class 3 instead of Class 2 with other injectable local anesthetics.

* Appropriateness of Drug Use. Drugs that clearly are intended for use in equine therapeutics are placed in lower classes. Drugs that clearly are not intended for use in the horse are placed in higher classes, particularly if they might affect the outcome of a race. Drugs that are recognized as legitimately useful in equine therapeutics but could affect the outcome of a race are placed in the middle or higher classes.

The list includes most drugs that have been reported as detected by racing authority laboratories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other Association of Official Racing Chemists (AORC) laboratories, but does not include those which would seem to have no effect on the performance of the horse or drug detectability. For example, it does not include antibiotics, sulfonamides, vitamins, anthelmintics, or pangamic acid, all of which have been reported.

The list contains many drugs that have never been reported as detected. Usually, these are representatives of chemical classes that have the potential for producing an effect, and in many cases, for which at least one drug in that chemical class has been reported.

Most drugs have numerous effects, and each was judged on an individual basis. There are instances where there is a rather fine distinction between drugs in one category and those in the next. This is a reflection of a nearly continuous spectrum of effects from the most innocuous drug on the list to the drug that is the most offensive.

Classification Definitions

* Class 1: Stimulant and depressant drugs that have the highest potential to affect performance and that have no generally accepted medical use in the racing horse. Many of these agents are Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) schedule II substances. These include the following drugs and their metabolites: Opiates, opium derivatives, synthetic opioids and psychoactive drugs, amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs as well as related drugs, including but not limited to apomorphine, nikethamide, mazindol, pemoline, and pentylenetetrazol. Though not used as therapeutic agents, all DEA Schedule 1 agents are included in Class 1 because they are potent stimulant or depressant substances with psychotropic and often habituative actions. This class also includes all erythropoietin stimulating substances and their analogues.

* Class 2: Drugs that have a high potential to affect performance, but less of a potential than drugs in Class 1. These drugs are 1) not generally accepted as therapeutic agents in racing horses, or 2) they are therapeutic agents that have a high potential for abuse. Drugs in this class include: psychotropic drugs, certain nervous system and cardiovascular system stimulants, depressants, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Injectable local anesthetics are included in this class because of their high potential for abuse as nerve blocking agents.

* Class 3: Drugs that may or may not have generally accepted medical use in the racing horse, but the pharmacology of which suggests less potential to affect performance than drugs in Class 2. Drugs in this class include bronchodilators, anabolic steroids and other drugs with primary effects on the autonomic nervous system, procaine, antihistamines with sedative properties and the high-ceiling diuretics.

* Class 4: This class includes therapeutic medications that would be expected to have less potential to affect performance than those in Class 3. Drugs in this class includes less potent diuretics; corticosteroids; antihistamines and skeletal muscle relaxants without prominent central nervous system (CNS) effects; expectorants and mucolytics; hemostatics; cardiac glycosides and anti-arrhythmics; topical anesthetics; antidiarrheals and mild analgesics. This class also includes the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), at concentrations greater than established limits.

* Class 5: This class includes those therapeutic medications that have very localized actions only, such as anti-ulcer drugs, and certain anti-allergic drugs. The anticoagulant drugs are also included.

* Prohibited Practices:

A) The possession and/or use of a drug, substance or medication, specified below, on the premises of a facility under the jurisdiction of the regulatory body for which a recognized analytical method has not been developed to detect and confirm the administration of such substance; or the use of which may endanger the health and welfare of the horse or endanger the safety of the rider or driver; or the use of which may adversely affect the integrity of racing:

1) Erythropoietin

2) Darbepoetin

3) Oxyglobin

4) Hemopure

B) The possession and/or use of a drug, substance, or medication on the premises of a facility under the jurisdiction of the regulatory body that has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.

C) The practice, administration, or application of a treatment, procedure, therapy or method identified below, which is performed on the premises of a facility under jurisdiction of a regulatory body and which may endanger the health and welfare of the horse or endanger the safety of the rider or driver, or the use of which may adversely affect the integrity of racing:

Drug Classification Scheme

* Class 1: Opiates, opium derivatives, synthetic opioids, psychoactive drugs, amphetamines, and all DEA Schedule I substances (see http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gOv/schedules/#list). and many DEA Schedule II drugs. Also found in this class are drugs that are potent stimulants of the CNS. Drugs in this class have no generally accepted medical use in the racing horse and their pharmacologic potential for altering the performance of a racing horse is very high. This class also includes all erythropoietin stimulating substances and their analogues.

* Class 2: Drugs placed in this category have a high potential for affecting the outcome of a race. Most are not generally accepted as therapeutic agents in the racing horse. Many are products intended to alter consciousness or the psychic state of humans, and have no approved or indicated use in the horse. Some, such as injectable local anesthetics, have legitimate use in equine medicine, but should not be found in a racing horse. The following groups of drugs are placed in this class:

A) Opiate partial agonists, or agonist-antagonists.

B) Non-opiate psychotropic drugs. These drugs may have stimulant, depressant, analgesic or neuroleptic effects.

C) Miscellaneous drugs, which might have a stimulant effect on the CNS.

D) Drugs with prominent CNS depressant action.

E) Anti-depressant and antipsychotic drugs, with or without prominent CNS stimulatory or depressant effects.

F) Muscle blocking drugs - those that have a direct neuromuscular blocking action.

G) Eocal anesthetics that have a reasonable potential for use as nerve-blocking agents (except procaine).

H) Snake venoms and other biologic substances that may be used as nerve-blocking agents.

* Class 3: Drugs placed in this class may or may not have an accepted therapeutic use in the horse. Many are drugs that affect the cardiovascular, pulmonary and autonomic nervous systems. They all have the potential of affecting the performance of a racing horse. The following groups of drugs are placed in this class:

A) Drugs affecting the autonomic nervous system that do not have prominent CNS effects, but which do have prominent cardiovascular or respiratory system effects. Bronchodilators are included in this class.

B) A local anesthetic that has nerve-blocking potential but also has a high potential for producing urine residue levels from a method of use not related to the anesthetic effect of the drug (procaine).

C) Miscellaneous drugs with mild sedative action, such as the sleep-inducing antihistamines.

D) Primary vasodilating/hypotensive agents.

E) Potent diuretics affecting renal function and body fluid composition.

F) Anabolic and/or androgenic steroids and other drugs.

* Class 4: Drugs in this category comprise primarily therapeutic medications routinely used in racehorses. These may influence performance, but generally have a more limited ability to do so. Groups of drugs assigned to this category include the following:

A) Non-opiate drugs that have a mild central antipyretic effect.

B) Drugs affecting the autonomic nervous system that do not have prominent CNS, cardiovascular, or respiratory effects:

1) Drugs used solely as topical vasoconstrictors or decongestants.

2) Drugs used as gastrointestinal antispasmodics.

3) Drugs used to void the urinary bladder.

4) Drugs with a major effect on CNS vasculature or smooth muscle of visceral organs.

C) Antihistamines that do not have a significant CNS depressant effect. This does not include the H2 blocking agents, which are in Class 5.

D) Mineralocorticoid drugs.

E) Skeletal muscle relaxants.

F) Anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs may reduce pain as a consequence of their anti-inflammatory action.

1) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). (Aspirin-like drugs).

2) Corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).

3) Miscellaneous anti-inflammatory agents.

G) Less potent diuretics.

H) Cardiac glycosides and antiarrhythmic agents.

1. Cardiac glycosides.

2. Antiarrhythmic agents (exclusive of lidocaine, bretylium, and propranolol).

3. Miscellaneous cardiotonic drugs.

I) Topical Anesthetics - agents not available in injectable formulations.

J) Antidiarrheal drugs.

K) Miscellaneous drugs:

1. Expectorants with little or no other pharmacologic action.

2. Stomachics.

3. Mucolytic agents.

* Class 5: Drugs in this category are therapeutic medications that have very localized actions only, such as anti-ulcer drugs, and certain antiallergic drugs. The anticoagulant drugs are also included.

PENALTY CATEGORY "D"

The recommended penalty for a violation involving a drug that carries a Category "D" penalty is a written warning to the trainer and owner. Multiple violations may result in fines and/or suspension.

MMV Point System

Multiple Medication Violation Model Rule. ARCI-011-020(B)(13)

Officials are advised to check a licensee's ARCI regulatory record to see if multiple medication violations should be considered as an aggravating factor in the determination of an appropriate penalty.

(1) Multiple Medication Violations (MMV)

(a) A trainer who receives a penalty for a medication violation based upon a horse testing positive for a Class 1-5 medication with Penalty Class A-C, as provided in the most recent version of the ARCI Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances, or similar state regulatory guidelines, shall be assigned points as follows:

Penalty Class	Points If Controlled Therapeutic Substance	Points If Non-Controlled Substance
Class A	N/A	6
Class B	2	4
Class C	1/2 for first violation with an additional 1/2 point for each additional violation within 365 days1	1 for first violation with an additional 1/2 point for each additional violation within 365 days
Class D	0	0

1Points for NSAID violations only apply when the primary threshold of the NSAID is exceeded. Points are not to be separately assigned for a stacking violation.

If the Stewards or Commission determine that the violation is due to environmental contamination, they may assign lesser or no points against the trainer based upon the specific facts of the case.

(b) The points assigned to a medication violation by the Stewards or Commission ruling shall be included in the ARCI official database. The ARCI shall record points consistent with Section 13(a) including when appropriate, a designation that points have been suspended for the medication violation. Points assigned by such regulatory ruling shall reflect, in the case of multiple positive tests as described in paragraph (d), whether they constitute a single violation. The Stewards' or Commission Ruling shall be posted on the official website of the Commission and within the official database of the Association of Racing Commissioners International. If an appeal is pending, that fact shall be noted in such Ruling. No points shall be applied until a final adjudication of the enforcement of any such violation.

(c) A trainer's cumulative points for violations in all racing jurisdictions shall be maintained by the ARCI. Once all appeals are waived or exhausted, the points shall immediately become part of the trainer's official ARCI record and shall be considered by the Commission in its determination to subject the trainer to the mandatory enhanced penalties by the Stewards or Commission as provided in this regulation.

(d) Multiple positive tests for the same medication incurred by a trainer prior to delivery of official notice by the commission may be treated as a single violation. In the case of a positive test indicating multiple substances found in a single post-race sample, the Stewards may treat each substance found as an individual violation for which points will be assigned, depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case.

(e) The official ARCI record shall be used to advise the Stewards or Commission of a trainer's past record of violations and cumulative points. Nothing in this administrative regulation shall be construed to confer upon a licensed trainer the right to appeal a violation for which all remedies have been exhausted or for which the appeal time has expired as provided by applicable law.

(f) The Stewards or Commission shall consider all points for violations in all racing jurisdictions as contained in the trainer's official ARCI record when determining whether the mandatory enhancements provided in this regulation shall be imposed.

(g) In addition to the penalty for the underlying offense, the following enhancements shall be imposed upon a licensed trainer based upon the cumulative points contained in his/her official ARCI record:

Points	Suspension in days
5-5.5	15 to 30
6-8.5	30 to 60
9-10.5	90 to 180
11 or more	180 to 360

MMV penalties are not a substitute for the current penalty system and are intended to be an additional uniform penalty when the licensee:

(i) Has had more than one medication violation for the relevant time period, and

(ii) Exceeds the permissible number of points.

The Stewards and Commission shall consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances, including the trainer's prior record for medication violations, when determining the appropriate penalty for the underlying offense. The MMP is intended to be a separate and additional penalty for a pattern of violations.

(h) The suspension periods as provided in Section 13(g) shall run consecutive to any suspension imposed for the underlying offense.

(i) The Stewards' or Commission Ruling shall distinguish between the penalty for the underlying offense and any enhancement based upon a Stewards or Commission review of the trainer's cumulative points and regulatory record, which may be considered an aggravating factor in a case.

(j) Points shall expire as follows:

Penalty Classification	Time to Expire
A	3 years
B	2 years
C	1 year

In the case of a medication violation that results in a suspension, any points assessed expire on the anniversary date of the date the suspension is completed.
