244. Where the awarding of a purse or a portion of a purse may, as a result of an objection, a complaint, a protest or an appeal, be changed because of the decision to be made by the racing judge or the board, the association or sponsor that offered the purse must, where the racing judge or the board so requests, delay the awarding until it receives the authorization from the racing judge or the board.
Where the decision entails a change in the position of the horses in the finishing order of the race, the awarding must be based on the changed order.
Where the awarding was done before such a decision was rendered, the amount awarded must be recovered and awarded to those entitled to it.
