Current through July 13, 2024
(a) Penalties and allowances are not cumulative
				unless so declared by the conditions of the race, and shall take effect at the
				time of starting, except that in overnight events a horse shall have only the
				allowance to which it was entitled at the time of entry.
(b) Penalties are obligatory. Allowances are
				optional as to all or any part and in overnight events must be claimed at the
				time of entry.
(c) Allowances to the
				produce of untried 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 weight
				or be relieved from extra weight for having been beaten in one or more 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.
(e) Failure to claim a weight allowance by
				oversight or omission is not cause for disqualification. Claims of weight
				allowance to which a horse is not entitled shall not disqualify unless the
				incorrect weight is carried in the race. A fine may be 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 will be made if
				desired prior to the actual start. No less than three (3) minutes must be
				permitted for refunding even though post time has to be delayed.
(g) Eligibility, penalties and allowances of
				weight for all races will be determined after considering the 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.
(i) When a race 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.
(j) Races written
				to be run under "Scale of Weight or Weights for Age" shall be run under the
				weights as provided for in the Scale of Weights Charts in these Rules.
(k) The Racing Secretary may write races either
				above or below scale as he may see fit.

				penalized by the Stewards.

				Permittee shall provide the only attendants who will be permitted to assist
				jockeys in weighing out or at any other time while in the performance of their
				duties. The attendants shall be approved by the Commission and be
