Title 9 Part 4042

Any person found by the stewards to have violated any of the following subdivisions of this section shall have such punishment imposed upon him or her, and the stewards shall take such other action in the manner as the stewards may deem proper under this Article, including reference to the commission:

If any person gives, offers or promises, directly or indirectly, any bribe in any form to any person having official duties in relation to any race or race horse or to any trainer, jockey or agent or to any other person having charge of or access to any race horse.

If any person having official duties in relation to any race track, race or race horse, or if any trainer, jockey, agent or other person having charge of or access to any race horse, solicit, accept or offer to accept any bribe in any form.

If any person licensed by the commission shall be approached with an offer or promise of a bribe or with a request or a suggestion for a bribe or for any improper, corrupt or fraudulent act or practice in relation to a race or racing, or that any race shall be conducted otherwise than fairly and in accordance with this Article, and if such licensed person shall not immediately report the matter to the stewards.

If any person willfully enters or causes or permits to be entered or to start in any race a horse that such person knows or has reason to believe to be disqualified.

If any person shall have in his or her possession in or about any race track or shall use, appliances—electrical, mechanical or otherwise—other than the ordinary equipment, of such nature as could affect the speed or racing condition of a horse.

If any person be guilty of any improper, corrupt or fraudulent act or practice in relation to racing, or shall conspire with any other person to commit or shall assist in the commission of any such act or practice.

Anyone who has been ruled off or who has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, and anyone penalized as in this Part provided by the highest official regulatory racing body having jurisdiction where the offense occurred, shall be denied admission to all race tracks licensed by the commission until duly reinstated, unless otherwise determined by the commission.

A person whose license has been revoked or has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, and so long as such person’s exclusion or suspension continues shall not be qualified, whether acting as agent or otherwise, to subscribe for or to enter or to run any horse for any race either in his or her own name or in that of any other person.

All horses in the charge of a trainer whose license has been revoked or has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, shall be automatically suspended from racing during the period of the trainer's exclusion or suspension. Permission may be given by the stewards for the transfer of such horses to another trainer during such period, and upon such approval such horses shall again be eligible to race.

In the event that a horse establishes a track or other record in a race and it shall be determined by competent authority that the chemical analysis of any specimen taken from such horse shows the presence of a drug that is of such a character as could affect the racing condition of the horse in such race, then such record shall be null and void.

The following shall constitute violations:
