94. The race secretary shall indicate, in the conditions for participation in a race, the minimum number of declarations for the race to be held and the maximum number of horses that can start.
Where the minimum number of declarations is reached, the association shall hold the race on the date determined for that purpose.
Where the minimum number of declarations is not reached, the race may be cancelled. However, the declaration period may be extended or the conditions of participation modified by the race secretary, after notifying the participants, in order to attain the minimum number of declarations for the race to be held. He shall then grant preference to the horse already declared.
Where the declaration period is extended, the race secretary, by means of the public address system, shall notify the participants present at the race track and indicate the duration of that extension.
