Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) In
				addition to any other valid ground or reason, a horse is ineligible to start in
				any race:
(1) if such horse is not registered
				by the Jockey Club if a thoroughbred, the United States Trotting Association if
				a standardbred, the American Quarter Horse Association if a quarter horse, the
				Appaloosa Horse Club if an appaloosa horse, the Arabian Horse Registry of
				America if an Arabian horse, or the American Paint Horse Association if a paint
				horse;
(2) if the parentage
				verification to both the sire and the dam of all horses foaled in 1992 and
				thereafter has not been certified by the Jockey Club if a thoroughbred, the
				United States Trotting Association if a standardbred, the American Quarter
				Horse Association if a quarter horse, the Appaloosa Horse Club if an appaloosa
				horse, the Arabian Horse Registry of America if an Arabian horse, or the
				American Paint Horse Association if a paint horse;
(3) if, unless the stewards permit otherwise,
				the certificate of foal registration, eligibility papers, or other registration
				issued by the official registry for such horse is not on file with the racing
				secretary at the time of entry;
(4)
				if such horse has been entered or raced at any recognized race meeting under
				any name or designation other than the name or designation duly assigned by and
				registered with the official registry;
(5) if the certificate of foal registration,
				eligibility papers or other registration issued by the official registry has
				been altered, erased, or forged;
(6) if the identification markings of the
				horse do not agree with the identification markings as set forth in the
				registration of such horse;
(7)
				unless he is eligible to enter said race and is duly entered for such
				race;
(8) when such horse is owned
				in whole or in part by an unlicensed person or is in the care of an unlicensed
				trainer;
(9) when such horse is on
				the Steward's List, the Starter's List or the Veterinarian's List;
(10) when, except with prior approval of the
				stewards for good cause, such horse is on the Veterinarian's List in another
				racing jurisdiction. Good cause includes:
(A)
				unforeseen administrative issues in removing the horse from the Veterinarian's
				List of another racing jurisdiction;
(B) the location of the horse prevents it
				from being evaluated by the official veterinarian of another racing
				jurisdiction and cleared from that jurisdiction's Veterinarian's List, and the
				horse is approved to race by a California official veterinarian; or
(C) any other unforeseen event or reason that
				would prevent a horse that would otherwise not be on a Veterinarian's List from
				being cleared from the Veterinarian's List of another racing
				jurisdiction.
(11) when,
				except with prior approval of the stewards, such horse has not been on the
				grounds of the association or its approved auxiliary stable area for at least
				24 hours prior to the time the race is to be run.
(12) when such horse does not carry a
				microchip or has not received a waiver from the stewards in accordance with
				Rule 1597.5.
(13) when such horse
				has received an intra-articular injection within the previous fourteen days
				prior to the scheduled post-time for the race in which it is entered.
(14) when such horse has not raced at a
				recognized race meeting within 12 consecutive months since its previous start,
				until the horse has performed satisfactorily in a workout or standardbred
				qualifying race as provided in Rule 1866(h) and (i).
(15) when such horse is a first-time starter
				four (4) years of age or older, until the horse has performed satisfactorily in
				a workout or standardbred qualifying race as provided in Rule 1866(h) and
				(i).
