2.001.06
(1) To effect the performance of its
				statutory duty to assure the security, safety, and health conditions at racing
				meetings as well as to assure the integrity of horseracing and to protect
				against any conduct detrimental to the best interests of horseracing, the
				Commission or the stewards of any licensed meeting have the unconditional right
				to permit and direct any person or persons authorized by them or either of them
				to achieve full and complete entry in or upon:
(a) all areas and buildings on the grounds of
				an association that are the property of the association, including stables,
				rooms, stalls, tackrooms, feed rooms, storage rooms or other places; and each
				association in accepting a license does thereby consent thereto. Such right of
				the Commission or the stewards is an overriding obligation that shall apply and
				condition any act of an association to allocate its property to any person
				during the course of any licensed meeting at that association; and each
				association in accepting a license does thereby consent that any such
				allocation includes the right of entry here consented to, subject to rule
				3.001.16.
(b) all areas and
				buildings on the grounds of racetracks, farms, or other places where horses are
				kept that are entered or eligible to race at a race meeting, including stables,
				rooms, stalls, tackrooms, feed rooms, storage rooms or other places; and each
				racetrack or person who owns or leases any such property in accepting a license
				does thereby consent thereto. Such right of the Commission or the stewards is
				an overriding obligation that shall apply and condition any act of such
				racetrack or property owner or lessor to allocate property to any person during
				the course of any licensed meeting when horses with which that person is
				associated are kept at the racetrack or place and are entered or eligible to
				run at such meeting; and each racetrack or property owner in accepting a
				license does thereby consent that any such allocation includes the right of
				entry here consented to. A property owner or lessor under this paragraph
				includes a horseracing industry participant (see rule 2.001.06
				A).
