12. Where the racing judges ascertain that a horse at a race track is unfit to participate in a race because it is sick, is lame or is otherwise handicapped, because it chokes, falls or suffers from epistaxis during a race or during the warm-up period preceding a race, they may require that the horse be examined by a veterinarian of the board, whether or not a race program is in progress, and that the veterinarian report to them the results of the examination.
