Section 4111.10 - Reopening of declaration box

(a) If the requisite number of starters in any overnight race is not found at the time declarations close and it is desirable to extend the time for declaration, the presiding judge may authorize the reopening of the race at a definite later hour and such reopening shall be announced over the public address system at least twice before such time. If thereafter there are still not found the requisite number of starters, the presiding judge may authorize such race to be reconditioned and reopen declarations thereto as above. When such race is reconditioned however, original declarations may not be used if expressly withdrawn prior to the closing time for new declarations.

(b) Notwithstanding this section, no horse may be moved up or down in class or group after declarations have initially closed for the day under section 4111.5 of this Part.

(c) Notwithstanding section 4111.9 of this Part, horses originally declared shall have preference over horses subsequently declared to a race which has been reopened or reconditioned.

(d) Whenever a race is reopened or reconditioned, declarations thereto shall be deposited only in a locked box for such purpose in the declaration room and said box may not be opened until the designated closing time and may only be opened by the presiding judge.
