Section 13:71-29.2 - Certification

(a) No sulky shall be used after the expiration of eight years from the year of manufacture or the recommended period for use by the manufacturer, whichever is less.

1. If a sulky is involved in an accident, the Paddock Judge will affix a label to the sulky that says "do not use." The owner of the sulky that receives a "do not use" label must then have the sulky inspected by its manufacturer. The manufacturer is authorized to remove the "do not use" label after inspecting the sulky and making any necessary repairs. Only the manufacturer or his representative is permitted to remove the "do not use" label. Any person, other than a manufacturer's representative, removing a "do not use" label is subject to a fine and/or suspension. Documentation identifying the sulky and repairs made must be filed by the trainer with the Paddock Judge prior to its introduction back into use.

2. The driver/trainer is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all sulkies used during training, qualifying or racing of horses under his or her care. Sulkies found unfit for use by the Paddock Judge or representative thereof in participation of the above activities will subject the driver/trainer to a fine and/or suspension.
