Article 7 - RULES FOR RACING
Section 112-7-14 - Penalties and allowances

(1) Penalties and allowances shall not be cumulative unless they are declared to be so in the conditions of the race. They shall be effective at the start except in overnight events when a horse shall have only the allowance to which it was entitled at the time of entry.

(2) Penalties and sex allowances shall be obligatory. Penalties or allowances shall be claimed at the time of entry. Each horse shall not enter or start a race with less than 102 pounds unless the race is a handicap or stakes.

(3) Each horse shall not receive an allowance of weight or be relieved from extra weight because it has been beaten in one or more races, but this shall not prohibit the awarding of a maiden allowance or allowances to horses that have not won a race within a specified period or a race of specified value.

(4) Failure to claim a weight allowance by oversight or omission shall not be cause for disqualification. Claims of weight allowance to which a horse is not entitled shall not disqualify the horse unless an incorrect weight is carried in the race. However, a fine may be imposed upon the person who claims an allowance to which the horse is not entitled.

(5) Eligibility, penalties and allowances of weight for all races shall be determined from the reports, records and statistics published by the daily racing form and from the horse registries identified in K.A.R. 112-7-6. However, responsibility for weight carried and eligibility shall remain with the owner and the trainer as stated in K.A.R. 112-7-6 (c).

(6) Each horse shall not incur a weight penalty for a placement from which it is disqualified, but each horse that places because of the disqualification of another horse shall incur the weight penalties of the placement. Each horse that places because of the disqualification of another horse shall not be ruled ineligible in a race that has already been run.
