Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) All horses that have been nerved shall be
			 so designated on the front of the jockey club certificate and all claim
			 authorization forms for such horses. It is the responsibility of the owner of
			 the horse at the time the horse is nerved to see that this information is
			 placed on the registration certificate and the eligibility certificate. All
			 horses that have been nerved prior to the adoption of this rule must also be
			 certified and it will be the responsibility of the owner or the trainer of such
			 horse to see that such information is carried on the registration certificate.
			 No trainer or owner will be permitted to enter or start a horse that is
			 high-nerved. It shall be the responsibility of the owner and/or trainer of a
			 horse that has been low-nerved to post on the bulletin board in the racing
			 office at each track where the horse competes the fact that the horse has been
			 low-nerved, and it is the responsibility of each track to provide a space in
			 the racing office where the fact of nerving can be posted in accordance with
			 this rule. Where these requirements have been met, low-nerved horses will be
			 permitted to start.
(B) Only the
			 palmar (posterior) digital neurectomy (low nerving) by surgical or other
			 physical (example: freezing) or chemical (example: injecting alcohol or snake
			 venom) means will be permitted in horses to be raced. Only the posterior
			 digital nerve and middle branches to the palmar (posterior/back) part of the
			 foot may be desensitized. This procedure must be done below the fetlock. The
			 dorsal (anterior/front) branches must be preserved so the horse has feeling at
			 the coronary band at the front of the foot on both sides of the midline. Lack
			 of feeling at the coronary band on the front of the foot is prima facie
			 evidence that a horse has been nerved in contravention of this rule. Incisions
			 over nerves at or above the fetlock may be evidence that the horse has been
			 high-nerved, even if partial or complete feeling is present at the front of the
			 coronary band of the foot. In horses racing or to be raced, no "high nerving"
			 (at or above the fetlock, including volar, palmar or plantar nerves) is
			 permitted by any means: surgical, physical, including but not limited to
			 injection of alcohol or snake venom. Any offending party may be ruled off or
			 otherwise penalized under the provisions of rule

(A) The horse racing act legalizes and

			 second, or third which is designated the "show" pool. Any other type of pool is
			 called an "exotic pool."
(B) From
			 each win, place, and show pool at any race track conducting parimutuel
			 wagering, there shall be deducted eighteen per cent. The remainder, less
			 breakage, shall be the net pool for distribution.
(C) All horses from the same stable or of the
			 same ownership engaged in the same race must race as an entry and a single
			 wagering interest unless otherwise permitted by the commission. However, when a
			 trainer enters more than one horse of different ownership in any type race the
			 horses may be uncoupled as an entry and considered to be separate betting
			 interests. No trainer may have more than two betting interests in any one race
			 other than a stakes race. In all win, place, and show pools, if two or more
			 horses in a race are coupled as an entry or field in one betting interest,
			 there shall be no refunds, unless all of the horses so coupled are excused
			 before off time.
(D) All pools
			 shall be calculated in accordance with the accepted practice in the calculation
