Section V-6311 - Registration of Horse

A. No horse shall be allowed to enter or start in any race conducted by any licensee unless the horse is a quarter horse, thoroughbred, Appaloosa or Arabian. Registration of a thoroughbred horse by the Jockey Club of New York, a quarter horse by the American Quarter Horse Association, an Appaloosa horse by the Appaloosa Horse Club, Inc., or an Arabian horse by the Arabian Horse Registry of America, Inc., shall be prima facie evidence that such horse is a thoroughbred, quarter horse, Appaloosa or Arabian. However, such registry shall not be conclusive evidence, nor binding on the commission.

B. At the time of entry such certificate of registration and Coggins test certificate must be on file in the office of the racing secretary, except when such certificates are on file at another track which is then operating. The foal certificate must be on file with the racing secretary before a horse starts. The stewards may, at their discretion, waive this rule in the case of horses shipped in to start in stakes races in this state.
