Section 13:71-13.15 - Types of races to be offered

(a) In presenting a program of racing, the race secretary shall use exclusively the following types of races:

1. Stakes and futurities;

2. Early closing and late closing events;

3. Conditioned races;

4. Claiming races;

5. Preferred races limited to the fastest horses at the meeting.

(b) These may be free-for-all races, JFA or invitationals. Horses to be used in such races shall be posted in the race secretary's office and listed with the presiding judge. Horses so listed shall not be eligible for conditioned overnight races unless the conditions specifically include horses on the preferred list. Twelve such races may be conducted during a six-day period of racing at tracks distributing more than $ 100,000 in overnight purses during such period and not more than 10 such races shall be conducted at other tracks during a six-day period of racing, provided that at least two of these races are for three-year olds, four-year olds or combined three and four-year olds. At tracks which race less than five days per week, not more than 10 such races may be conducted during a six-day period. Purses offered for such races shall be at least 15 per cent higher than the highest purse offered for a condition race programmed the same racing week. No two-year old or three-year old will be eligible to be placed on the preferred list to race against older horses until it has won seven races lifetime unless requested by the owner or authorized agent.
