Section 112-7-7 - Entries

(a) Each horse entered for the first time at a race meeting shall be identified by its name, color, sex, age, and the name of its sire or sires and dam as registered. For every other race, each horse shall be identified by its name, color, sex, and age.

(b) Each nomination and entry shall be made in writing and signed by the owner or trainer of the horse, or the owner's licensed authorized agent or the trainer's licensed authorized agent. Each organization licensee shall provide forms upon which entries, scratches, and declarations are to be made for all races.

(1) Only each steward, racing secretary, and secretary's designee shall be authorized to receive entries, scratches, and declarations.

(2) Any entry may be made by telephone, facsimile, or telegraph, but each entry shall be confirmed in writing one hour before post time of the first race on the day of the race for which the horse is entered.

(3) In a stakes race, the closing of nominations, entries, interim payments, and declarations shall be in accordance with the conditions published by the organization licensee sponsoring the race.

(4) Each signed entry blank shall be prima facie evidence that the contents of the entry blank express the desire and intent of the person making the entry.

(c) Each nominator shall be liable for entrance money or stakes. A mistake in the entry of an eligible horse shall not release the subscriber or the subscriber's transfer from liability for stakes or entrance money.

(1) enter in the person's name a horse of which the person is not the actual owner;

(2) enter or cause to be entered or start a horse that the person knows or believes to be ineligible or disqualified;

(3) enter a horse in more than one race on any day, except stakes races; or

(4) enter a horse in a race if it is wholly or partly owned by, trained by, or under the management of a person whose license is under suspension or a person who acts in concert with or under the control of a person whose license is under suspension.

(e) Each entry from a person whose license is suspended and each entry of an ineligible horse shall be void, and any money paid for the entry shall be paid to the purse of the race.

(f) Except for decisions regarding disqualification for interference during the running of the race, each dispute, claim, and objection relating to the race and the interpretation of commission regulations shall be decided by the stewards or, upon review, by the commission.
