Current through June 17, 2024
9.004.01 Penalties and allowances are not
				cumulative, unless so declared by the conditions of the race, and shall take
				effect at the time of starting, except that in overnight events a horse shall
				have only the allowance to which it was entitled at the time of
				entry.
9.004.02 Penalties are
				obligatory. Allowances are optional as to all or any part thereof, and in
				overnight events must be claimed at the time of entry.
9.004.03 Allowances to the produce of untried
				horses shall be claimed before the expiration of the time for naming, and shall
				not be lost by winning after that time.
9.004.04 No horse shall receive allowance of
				weight nor be relieved from extra weight for having been beaten in one or more
				races, but this rule shall not prohibit maiden allowance or allowances to
				horses that have not won a race within a specified period or a race of
				specified value.
9.004.05 Failure
				to claim a weight allowance by oversight or omission is not cause of
				disqualification. Claims of weight allowance to which a horse is not entitled
				shall not disqualify unless such incorrect weight is carried in the race.
				However, a fine may be imposed upon the person claiming allowance to which a
				horse is not entitled.
9.004.06
				Daily Racing Form and Equibase charts and past performances, and all official
				or recognized reports, records, and statistics concerning races at recognized
				meets shall be considered in determination of eligibility and penalties and
				allowances of weight.
The owner and trainer shall be responsible for eligibility
				  and correct weight assignment. The owner and trainer shall be responsible for
				  disclosure at or prior to time of entry, any past performances affecting the
				  eligibility, or penalties or allowances of weight, if such past performances
				  are not disclosed on an official win record that is a part of, or is attached
				  to, the foal registration certificate.
9.004.07 No horse shall incur a weight
				penalty for placement from which he is disqualified, but a horse placed through
				the disqualification of another horse shall incur the weight penalties of that
				placement. No such placement shall make a horse ineligible to a race which has
				already been run.
9.004.08 When a
				race is in dispute, both the horse that finished first and any horse claiming
				the race shall be liable to all penalties attached to the winner of that race
				until the matter is decided.
9.004.09 Races written to be run under "Scale
				of Weights or Weight for Age" shall be run under the weights as provided for in
				the Scale of Weights Chart appearing in this book. (See Chapter
				20.001.01.)
9.004.10 It shall be
				within the power of the racing secretary to write races either above or below
				scale as he may see fit.
