Section 69.5-01-04-09 - Horsemen's bookkeeper

1. Each association shall maintain a separate bank account, to be known as the "horsemen's account", with at all times sufficient funds in such account to pay all money owing to horsemen in regard to purses, stakes, rewards, claims, and deposits. Deposits and withdrawals from this account are at all times subject to audit by the commission, and the horsemen's bookkeeper in charge of such account must be bonded in an amount determined by the commission.

2. All portions of purse money must be made available to earners thereof within forty-eight hours, Sundays excluded, after the result of the race in which such money was earned has been declared official; except, however, when the stewards or commission shall order money withheld until final adjudication of a dispute determining which persons are entitled to such money in dispute.

3. No portion of purse money other than jockey fees may be deducted by the association for itself or for another, unless so requested in writing by the person to whom such purse moneys are payable, or such person's duly authorized representative. Irrespective of whether requested, the horsemen's bookkeeper shall mail to each owner a duplicate of each record of a deposit, withdrawal, or transfer of funds affecting such owner's racing account at the close of each race meeting.
