					 custody, care or control to be started if such trainer knows, or might have
					 known cause to believe, that the horse has received any drug or other
					 restricted substance that could result in a positive test. The trainer shall be
					 held responsible for any positive test unless such trainer can show by
					 substantial evidence that neither such trainer nor any employee nor agent was
					 responsible for the administration of the drug or other restricted substance.
					 Every trainer must guard each horse trained by him or her in such manner and
					 for such period of time prior to racing the horse so as to prevent any person
					 whether or not employed by or connected with the owner or trainer from
					 administering any drug or other restricted substance to such horse contrary to
					 this Part.
(b) Trainers shall
					 maintain accurate records of all corticosteroid joint injections to horses
					 trained by them. The record(s) of every corticosteroid joint injection shall be
					 submitted, in a form and manner approved by the commission, by the trainer to
					 the commission within 48 hours of the treatment. The trainer may delegate this
					 responsibility to the treating vet- erinarian, who shall make these reports
					 when so designated. The reports shall be accessible to the examining
					 veterinarian for the purposes of as- sisting with pre-race veterinary
					 examinations.

					 transferred to a new owner or trainer, for a period of six months and then

					 detention period shall be extended as the stewards shall deem appropriate. The
					 racetrack operator sponsoring the race shall make such pre-race detention

					 pre-race detention requirement shall not continue to apply to a horse that is
					 sold during the detention period to a third party in a good-faith, arms-length
					 transaction. The pre-race detention requirement shall not apply unless the
					 trainer's earlier violation happened within the past 12 months and the judges
					 made a ruling on the earlier TCO2 violation at least 10 days before the
					 trainer's repeat violation.
(c) If
					 during a detention period a trainer violates section
					 4120.13 of this Part, then the
					 detention period shall be extended for such time as the judges deem
					 appropriate.
