(a) As set forth in § 305.203 (relating to Veterinarian's List) of the Commission's regulations, the Commission Veterinarian shall maintain the Veterinarian's List of all horses which are determined to be unfit to compete in a race due to illness, unsoundness, injury, infirmity, heat exhaustion, positive test or overage, administration of a medication invoking a mandatory stand down time, administration of shock wave therapy or any other assessment or determination by the Commission Veterinarian that the horse is unfit to race.

(b) Horses so listed are ineligible to start in a race in any jurisdiction until released by the Commission Veterinarian, except when there is an unforeseen administrative issue in releasing the horse from the Veterinarian's List of another racing jurisdiction.

(c) A horse placed on the Veterinarian's List for being unfit to compete in a race due to illness, physical distress, unsoundness, injury, infirmity, heat exhaustion, or any other assessment of determination by the Commission Veterinarian may be removed from the Veterinarian's List when in the opinion of the Commission Veterinarian, the condition which resulted in the horse's placement on the list is resolved and the horse's status is returned to racing soundness.

(d) Horses participating in a qualifying race or working to be released from the Veterinarian's List are to be subjected to a post-exercise biologic sample collection for laboratory confirmation of compliance at the expense of the current owner.

(e) Horses having generated a positive drug finding on a biological sample collected under the Commission's regulations shall not be released from the Veterinarian's List until it generates a negative test.
