Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
(a) During the running of a race, the Stewards shall take cognizance of foul riding and upon their own motion or other racing official empowered by this chapter to object or complain of an occurrence during the race, shall immediately post an official inquiry and shall make every diligent effort to investigate the objection or complaint.
(b) In determining the extent of disqualification, the Stewards in their discretion may:
(1) Declare null and void a track record
set or equaled by a disqualified horse, or any horses coupled with it as an
entry;
(2) Affirm the placing
Judges' order of finish and hold the jockey responsible if, in the Stewards'
opinion, the foul riding did not affect the order of finish; or
(3) Disqualify the offending horse and hold
the jockey blameless, if in the Stewards' opinion, the interference to another
horse in a race was not the result of an intentional foul or careless riding on
the part of a jockey.
(c) No appeal may be taken from the decision of the Stewards not to disqualify a horse as a result of the running of a race.
