Section 325:30-1-13 - Delivery of claimed horse to the test barn

(a) If a claimed horse is required to be taken to the test barn for post-race testing, the original trainer or his/her representative shall maintain physical custody of the claimed horse and shall observe the testing procedure and sign the test sample tag. The successful claimant or his/her representative shall also accompany the horse to the test barn. At such time as the horse is released from the test barn by the official veterinarian or his designee, physical custody of the horse shall be passed to the successful claimant or his/her representative. It shall be the responsibility of the successful claimant to have a representative present at the test barn to take possession of the horse at that time.

(b) Should the claimed horse require any medical treatment as a result of an injury or incident after the horse has been dispatched from the starting gate by the official starter, the cost of the medical treatment shall be the responsibility of the successful claimant.

(c) Emergency medical treatment shall only be administered at the direction of or under the supervision of the racing veterinarian, the official veterinarian, or his/her designee prior to the sample being collected. Any post-race test indicating presence of substances administered as a result of such medical treatment shall be disregarded with respect to the responsibility of the trainer who entered the horse in the claiming race.
