Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 49, December 5, 2024

Section 112-7-17 - Claiming authorization

(a) Each person who makes an application for a claiming authorization on the forms provided shall receive a claiming authorization from the commission or its appointed representatives, provided the person:

(1) Is licensed as an owner or an owner by open claim;

(2) has an agreement with a licensed trainer to take charge of, care for and train any horse claimed pursuant to the claiming authorization; and

(3) has at least the amount of the claim and applicable taxes on deposit or credited with the "horsemen's bookkeeper."

(b) Each holder of a claiming authorization and each trainer shall promptly notify the stewards in writing if the agreement is terminated before a horse is successfully claimed.

(c) Each claiming authorization shall be valid for 30 days or until the person to whom the authorization was issued becomes a horse owner either through use of the claiming authorization or through a private purchase, whichever is sooner.

(d) Each applicant for a claiming authorization shall pay to the commission the same fee that is charged for an owner's license before the authorization is issued. Each holder of a claiming authorization shall not be entitled, by virtue thereof, to admission to the grandstand, clubhouse or other spectator facility at prices less than those charged to the general public. The holder of a claiming authorization who previously has not been granted an owner's license shall be issued an owner's license without payment of any additional fees.

(e) Any application for claiming authorization may be denied or revoked for any reason that would justify denial, suspension or revocation of an owner's license. Each person whose claiming authorization is denied or revoked shall have the same rights to notice and hearing as an owner would have whose license is denied, suspended or revoked.
