				deliver a properly claimed horse to the successful claimant.
15.007.03 Transfer of possession of a claimed
				horse shall take place immediately after the race has been run unless otherwise

				(30) days thereafter, except in another claiming race, nor shall it remain
				under the control or management of its former owner or trainer for a like
				period, unless reclaimed. A horse claimed at a Nebraska track shall not be
				permitted to race at a track outside of Nebraska until after the close of the
				meeting at which it was claimed, nor shall it race at another Nebraska track,
				except in stake or handicap races, except by special permission of the stewards
				at the meeting at which it was claimed. A horse claimed at a Nebraska track
				shall not be prevented from entering or running in a stake or handicap race at
				another Nebraska track. Provided, however, that in the period of thirty (30)
				days after the date of claiming, upon petition of the owner of record or said
				owner's authorized agent, the Commission may permit or ratify the sale or
				transfer, in whole or in part of a horse claimed at a Nebraska meeting. This
				action of the Commission shall be for reasons and under conditions and terms
				which shall appear sufficient to the Commission. Provided, further, that when a
				horse is claimed at a recognized meeting under rules which are at variance with
				this rule, title to such horse shall be recognized in Nebraska to follow the
				rule of the meeting under which it was claimed. See Statute
				2-1220.)

Current through June 17, 2024
If a jockey wishes to protest a happening in a race, said
				  jockey shall notify the Clerk of Scales or outrider in accordance with
				  procedures specified by the Stewards at the race meet.
The Stewards may specify either of the following procedures
				  for the filing of a protest by a jockey:
1) The jockey shall be required to report to
				a designated outrider on the backstretch immediately following the running of a
				race. The outrider shall be in constant radio communications with the Stewards
				following each race, and shall immediately notify the Stewards of any protest
				by a jockey.
An owner or trainer may protest a happening in a race and
				  shall be provided adequate means of contacting the Stewards promptly following
				  a race. An owner or trainer may advise the Stewards that a discussion with
				  their jockey is needed before a decision concerning a claim of foul is made, in
				  which case the Stewards shall take no official action until a reasonable
				  opportunity for such discussion and decision has been allowed. It shall be the
				  trainers and owners responsibility to be aware of mans available for timely
				  communication with the Stewards following a race.
2) The jockey shall be required to notify the
				Clerk of Scales of any protest immediately upon his arrival at the scales for
				weighing in. It shall be each jockey's responsibility to know which procedure
				is being used for reporting a protest.

				consenting) the jockey shall declare the amount of overweight to the clerk of
				the scales at least forty-five (45) minutes before the time appointed for the

				riding the mount to the judge's stand because of an accident or of illness
				either to himself or herself or to the horse, the jockey may walk or be carried
				to the scales, or be excused by the stewards from weighing in. (In no case
				shall the jockey ride a horse bleeding profusely or crippled by a broken bone
				past the public stands, nor attempt to lead him or have him led past the public
				stands.)
20.003.03 Except by
				permission of the stewards, every jockey must, upon returning to the placing
				judge's stand, unsaddle the horse he or she has ridden, and no person shall
				touch said horse except by his bridle.

				her mount may be disqualified and the purse may be redistributed accordingly,
				and the jockey may be subject to action by the stewards. Disqualification of a
				horse due to a shortage of weight on weighing in shall not affect the official
				order of finish for purposes of parimutuel payoffs.

				than two (2) pounds over the weight at which he or she weighed out, except
				insofar as said weight may have been affected by the elements.
