Section R. 285.822.4 - Eligibility of races for state supplements
Current through Vol. 24-16, September 15, 2024
Rule 4.
(1) State supplements shall be allocated for the following Arabian races:
(2) State supplements shall be paid first for races specified under subrule (1)(a) to (c) of this rule. If funds are not available to provide state supplements for all races approved by the director under subrule (1)(c) of this rule, then the director shall prorate available money at his or her discretion among the races so run.
(3) At least 1 Michigan-bred race shall be scheduled on a licensed Arabian horse racing association program.
(4) An association licensed to conduct Arabian horse racing in Michigan shall not offer a smaller track purse, excluding the state supplement, for a Michigan-bred race than it offers for a race of non-Michigan-bred horses which, in the judgment of the director, is a comparable race.
(5) If the programmed Michigan-bred race does not draw sufficient entries to run, the licensed Arabian horse racing association may substitute a Michigan-bred race approved by the director.
