Section 340. Interruption of simulcast signal

A. If there is a problem in the transmission of data or the simulcast signal between the racetrack and the satellite facility, it shall be within the discretion of the stewards to:

1. Order the race to be run on schedule;

2. Delay the race until the matter is resolved, if this is possible; or

3. After having delayed the race, if problem is not resolved and further delay is not possible, order the race to be run.

B. If a race is run before the resolution of a problem in the transmission of data or signal between the racetrack and the satellite facility, the stewards shall cause an announcement to be made that any pari-mutuel ticket issued before the running of the race is a valid ticket regardless of the nontransmission of data or the signal.
