Title 35 - HORSE RACING
Part XI - Claiming Rules and Engagements
Chapter 99 - Claiming Rule
Section XI-9905 - Timing of Entering Next Claiming Race

A. Except as otherwise provided herein, a claimed horse shall not run for 20 days after being claimed in a race in which the determining eligibility price is less than 25 percent more than the price at which the horse was claimed. For a period of 10 days thereafter, a horse is eligible to run back for the same claiming price or higher. The day claimed shall not count, but the following calendar day shall be the first day and the horse shall be entitled to enter whenever necessary so the horse may start on the thirty-first day following the claim for any claiming price. This provision shall not apply to allowance/optional claiming or starter allowance/optional claiming races in which a horse is entered for the allowance condition, starter handicaps in which the weight to be carried is assigned by the handicapper, starter stakes and starter allowance races. This provision shall apply to allowance/optional claiming and starter allowance/optional claiming races, if a horse is entered for a claiming price. A similar rule in other states will be recognized and enforced.
