Section 325:45-1-11 - Trainer responsibility(a) The trainer of a horse which is the subject of a substance violation shall be responsible for the substance violation.(b) If the trainer is or plans to be absent from the enclosure on race day, the trainer may designate another licensed trainer or assistant trainer to be responsible for saddling horses after obtaining the Stewards' approval for the substitution. Designation of another licensed trainer or assistant trainer shall not relieve the trainer from absolute responsibility for the condition and eligibility of a horse.(c) Failure to disclose the actual trainer of a horse participating in a race shall be grounds to disqualify the horse and subject the actual trainer to possible disciplinary action by the Stewards or the Commission.(d) Any act or omission by a trainer or a person under the supervision of the trainer which prevents or interferes with the collection of biological samples as described by this Chapter shall be a violation of rules and a cause for disqualification of the horse involved and other penalties as the Stewards or the Commission deem appropriate.Okla.
