Section 305.57 - Eligibility

(a) When the Commission receives an official testing laboratory report of a positive test or overage for a winner of a race that requires a disqualification, change in the order of finish and redistribution of the purse, the horse in question shall maintain the win in past performance records and carry the penalty of a win when determining eligibility by the racing secretary for entry in a subsequent race. This horse's condition and eligibility shall remain in effect until the Stewards issue a ruling disqualifying the aforementioned horse and order the redistribution of the purse.

(b) The second-place horse shall not carry the win in past performance records nor shall the second-place horse carry the win in determining the eligibility for entry in a subsequent race until the Stewards issue a ruling disqualifying the winner, change the order of finish and order a redistribution of the purse.

(c) Should the aforementioned ruling be properly appealed, the disqualification, change in the order of finish and purse redistribution is stayed until a final adjudication and the winner must carry the win and the second-place horse is not penalized for the condition.
