(a) Reasons for postponement, rescheduling races. In case of unfavorable weather, or other unavoidable cause, the association, with the approval of the commission or its appointed representative, may postpone the races. When a racing program is postponed, the races scheduled shall be rescheduled as follows:

(1) Early closing, late closing races, stakes and futurities shall be postponed to the next racing day.

(2) If there is no time remaining in the scheduled race meeting and it cannot be extended to permit the race to be programmed, the entrance money and forfeits shall be divided equally among the nominators who have horses on the grounds declared in and eligible to start.

(3) Unless conditions prescribe to the contrary, stakes and futurities shall not be transferred to another meeting without the unanimous consent of the association and of all those having horses eligible to the event.

(4) Overnight races may be postponed and carried over not more than two (2) racing days.

(b) Rain checks. In the event of cancellation of any program after the completion of fifty percent (50%) or more of the races scheduled to be run on such program, no rain checks or other similar forms of deferred admissions shall be issued or if issued on admittance, no rain checks will be validated. In the event of cancellation of any program before the completion of fifty percent (50%) or more of the races scheduled to be run on such program, rain checks or other similar forms of deferred free admissions shall be issued but no rain check or other form of deferred free admission shall be valid beyond the close of the meeting at which it is issued.
