Title 9 Part 4080

Pursuant to Laws of 1979, chapter 507, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund (the fund) hereby designates the registry of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. (breeders association) as the official registry of New York-bred thoroughbred horses, which registry shall be administered by the fund pursuant to such arrangements with such breeders association as shall be established from time to time.

The rules in this Article shall be administered by the fund and questions of interpretation and intent shall be determined by the fund.

Procedures for establishing compliance with or satisfaction of such rules shall be established by the fund and administered by its executive director.

No horse shall be considered as a New York-bred thoroughbred unless such horse is so registered by the fund. Should the fund be satisfied that grounds exist to cancel or void a registration it may so determine and order any monies of the fund due any person as a result of such questionable registration held, and if paid, to be returned to the fund for proper disposition. In addition, pending such determination, the fund shall be empowered to order retention of such monies as may be payable as a result of any questionable registration, for proper disposition, upon its final determination.

For good cause shown the fund may order that any individual shall be disqualified from participating as a beneficiary of such fund for such time as it may determine appropriate.
