Section 151. Veterinarian's List  


Latest version.
  • The commission veterinarian shall maintain a Veterinarian's List of those horses determined to be unfit to compete in a race due to physical distress, unsoundness or infirmity. A horse placed on the Veterinarian's List shall be removed from the list only after being demonstrated to the satisfaction of the commission veterinarian that the horse is then raceably sound and in fit physical condition to exert its best effort in a race. A horse may be required to perform satisfactorily in a workout or qualifying race to demonstrate its physical fitness, and if so a blood or urine, or both, post-work test sample may be taken from the horse.
