A horse may not start in a race unless the horse is fully identified. The burden of proving a horse's identity rests with the person having charge of the horse at the horse racing meeting, and the judges may suspend and refer to the commission such a person in case of fraud or attempted fraud. The judges also may suspend and refer to the commission any other person who aids in the perpetration of a fraud or who participates in an attempt at fraud.
