§ 305.406. Delivery of claimed horse.

 (a)  In the event a horse dies during a claiming race or is euthanized on the racetrack during a claiming race, any claim made on that horse will be declared void.

 (b)  In the event that a horse is vanned off the racetrack after a claiming race, that horse will be taken to the detention barn for no longer than 1 hour from post-time of the race. The successful claimant for the horse may declare the claim void at the claimant’s election within 1 hour of post-time of the race, except that the claim may not be declared void if the horse was vanned off the track due solely to heat stroke or bleeding from the nostrils, as determined by the Commission Veterinarian. In the event the successful claimant exercises the claimant’s discretion to declare the claim void, the horse will be returned to the custody of the original owner who entered the horse in the claiming race.

 (c)  If a horse is placed on the Veterinarian’s List within 1 hour of post-time of the race after having been taken to the test barn under its own power or otherwise without assistance for evaluation by the Commission Veterinarian, the successful claimant may declare the claim null and void at his or her election. Except that, the claim may not be declared null and void if the horse is placed on the Veterinarian’s List due solely to heat stroke or bleeding from the nostrils, as determined by the Commission Veterinarian. In the event the successful claimant exercises his/her discretion to declare the claim void, the horse will be returned to the custody of the original owner who entered the horse in the claiming race.
