			 stewards find that a claim was made in violation of the rules of racing the
			 stewards may disallow and cancel any such claim and order the return of the
			 horse and order the return and refund the claim amount. In deciding whether to
			 cancel a claim the stewards will consider which party was at fault, the status
			 of the horse at the time the claiming violation is discovered, and such other
			 factors as appropriate. Should the stewards cancel a claim, they may order, as
			 appropriate, payment for the care and maintenance of the horse involved. The
			 stewards may refer to the commission for further action any case involving a
			 violation of the rules of racing with respect to a claim regardless of whether
			 the stewards deem it appropriate to order the cancellation of the

(2) The stewards will void a
			 claim if the following occurs:
(a) The horse
			 dies or suffers a catastrophic injury during the running of the race and is
			 euthanized prior to leaving the track, or must be euthanized due to an injury
			 suffered prior to when the official transfer of the horse has taken
			 place.
(b) If, within two hours of
			 the official "off time" of the race and following an injury incurred during the
			 race, the official veterinarian, in consultation with the practicing
			 veterinarian, determines that it would be inhumane to prolong treatment in an
			 attempt to save the horse, even for nonperformance purposes, the horse is
			 euthanized. If the original owner of the horse disputes the official
			 veterinarian's determination to euthanize, they may retain ownership of the
			 horse and the claim will be voided.
