				facility under the jurisdiction of the Board until a negative test result is
				achieved.

				all jockeys, apprentice jockeys or drivers who appear on the official program
				the day random drug testing is conducted shall be placed in a secured container
				which shall be in the custody of the supervising investigator. Prior to the
				first race of the program, the supervising investigator shall draw nine names.

				eliminated and another selection made.

				the California Harness Horsemen's Association may attend and witness the random
				selection of names.

				an additional insured, each person for whom he trains horses to the extent that
				such person is exposed to liability as the employer of a jockey, unless such
