Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
At the time the horses reach the finish line, the judges shall
				determine the order of finish. In such determination, a horse whose nose shall
				have reached the finish line shall be deemed ahead of all horses whose noses
				shall not have reached the finish line. The judges shall announce their
				decision as to the order of finish, and their decisions shall be final unless
				objection to any horse placed in the first four positions be raised and
				sustained. However, the judges may correct any mistake in the order of finish
				announced. In the absence of any objections, or upon decisions having been
				reached with relation to any objections raised and any changes in the order of
				finish required by such decisions having been made, the judges shall cause the
				sign "official" to be displayed; and no ruling of the judges thereafter made
				shall have any bearing with relation to the payment of winning parimutuel

(B) In the event the
			 homestretch is expanded pursuant to paragraph (A) of this rule, the following
			 shall apply:
(1) When entering or while going
			 through the homestretch for the first time in a race, no horse shall use the
			 expanded inside lane in an attempt to pass other horses or improve its
			 position. Any horse which does so shall be disqualified and placed last in the
			 order of finish.
(2) The lead horse
			 in the homestretch shall maintain as straight a course as possible while
			 allowing trailing horses full access to the expanded inside lane. If, in the
			 opinion of the judges, the lead horse changes course in the homestretch in an
			 attempt to prevent a trailing horse from passing, said horse may be placed
			 accordingly.
(3) Horses using the
			 expanded inside lane, during the homestretch drive for the finish of the race,
			 must first have complete clearance of the pylons marking the inside boundary of
			 the race course. Any horse or sulky running over one or more of the pylons or
			 going inside the pylons, while attempting to use the expanded inside lane, may
			 be disqualified and placed last in the order of finish.

			 a horse may only be driven into the expanded home stretch lane for the purpose
			 of passing another horse and may not be driven into the expanded home stretch
			 lane for the purpose of blocking a trailing horse. It shall be presumed that
			 any horse driven into the expanded home stretch lane which blocks a trailing
			 horse, without advancing on the horse it was allegedly attempting to pass, was
			 being driven for the purpose of blocking a
			 trailing horse. 
									If in  the
			 opinion of a majority of the judges, a horse is driven into the expanded
			 home-stretch lane for the purpose of blocking a trailing horse, the driver of
			 the blocking horse may be fined and/or suspended and the horse may be placed
			 accordingly.

			 may be penalized separately for each day the violation occurs.
(E) Any person who violates any provisions of
			 the Horse Racing Act or any of the Ohio rules of racing for which no penalty is
