				horses shall be claimed before the expiration of the time for naming, and shall
				not be lost by winning after that time.
(d) No horse shall receive allowance of

				races, but this rule shall not prohibit maiden allowance to horses that have
				not won a race within a specified period or a race of a specified
				value.

				weight allowance by oversight or omission is not cause for disqualification.
				Claims of weight allowance to which a horse is not entitled shall not

				imposed upon the person claiming allowance to which his horse is not
				entitled.
(f) If an underweight is
				discovered prior to the actual start, a correction must be made and immediately
				announced to the public. If wagering has already started on the race, a refund

				delayed.

				reports, records and statistics published by the Daily Racing Form and/or other
				statistical publications, but responsibility for weight carried and eligibility
				still remain with the owner and trainer as prescribed by the Rules.
(h) 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.

				is in dispute, both the horse that finished first and any horse claiming the
				race shall be liable to all penalties attaching to the winner of that race
				until the matter is decided.

				under the weights as provided for in the Scale of Weights Charts in these
				Rules.
