C-72.1, r. 5 - Rules respecting Standardbred horse races held at an amateur race track

Section 143 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

143. Where an omission related to a horse declared in a special race occurs during the drawing for post positions, the horse may participate in the race in one of the following positions:

(1)  if the maximum number of horses that may start in the race is not reached, in the last post position;

(2)  if the race is in divisions, the horse may participate in the division that has the least number of starters and, if there is more than one such division, in the division determined by drawing; as far as possible, the horse may not start in a division in which the horse would be part of an entry;

(3)  if the program for that race is printed, the horse may not be declared for pari-mutuel betting purposes.

Despite section 65 and the conditions of participation in a special race where the conditions provide the maximum number of horses that may start, a horse declared in that race and that was omitted in a drawing of post positions may participate in the race by taking the last post position. Where the race is held in divisions, the division is determined by drawing and, as far as possible, the horse may not participate in a division in which the horse would be part of an entry.
