Title 9 Part 4114

No racing program or any part of a racing program may be cancelled without the consent of the track steward. In the event any heat or race of a program is cancelled for any reason, the remainder of such program may be cancelled by the track steward, if in the track steward’s judgment such action is warranted.

In the event of the cancellation of any program after the completion of a numerical majority of the races to be scheduled to be run on such program, no rain checks or other similar forms of deferred admissions shall be issued on admittance, no rain checks will be validated. In the event of a cancellation of any program before the completion of a numerical majority of the races scheduled to run on such program, rain checks or other similar forms of deferred free admission shall be issued but no rain check or other form of deferred free admission shall be valid beyond the close of the meeting at which it is issued.

When a racing program is cancelled, the races scheduled shall be postponed as follows:

Unless conditions prescribe to the contrary, stakes and futurities should be raced where advertised and the meeting extended to accomplish this. No stake or futurity may be transferred to another meeting without the unanimous consent of both meetings and of all those having horses eligible to the event.

In a three heat race, one third of purse, after deducting 10 percent shall be paid for each heat contested; also the 10 percent to the winner, and the entrance for the heat or heats not contested shall be returned, except when one horse has won two heats and the conditions provide that a horse winning the first and second heats shall be awarded the race without contesting the third heat; in that event, the full amount of the purse shall be paid as provided in the published conditions.
