Section 203.13 - Transfer to ineligible trainer

(a) The Commission or its Judges may refuse, deny, suspend or revoke an owner's license for the spouse or member of the immediate family or household of a person ineligible to be licensed as an owner, unless the applicant or licensed owner demonstrates that participation in racing will not permit a person to serve as a substitute or hidden trainer for an ineligible person. The transfer of a horse to a spouse, member of the immediate family or household or employee to circumvent the ineligible status of the owner of the horse is prohibited.

(b) An owner shall not intentionally and knowingly employ a suspended trainer.

(c) In an effort to prevent owners or trainers from utilizing hidden trainers, the Commission may require from an owner or trainer applicable financial, business or other information, including invoices, Veterinarian records and the like to determine the validity of the employment of the trainer.
