Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1309.130 - Invitational Races
a)
Invitational races are limited to the fastest horses at the meeting. These may
be Free For All races, Junior Free for All, or Invitationals. Horses to be used
in such races shall be posted in the racing secretary's office at least 24
hours prior to the time of closing. Horses so listed shall not be eligible for
conditioned overnight races unless the conditions specifically include horses
on the invitational list. Purses offered for such races shall be at least 15
per cent higher than the highest purse offered for a conditioned race
programmed the same racing week for horses of equivalent age and sex.
b) No two year, three year or four year old
will be eligible to be placed on the invitational list to race against older
horses until it has won a lifetime total of $15,000 and five races, unless
requested by the owner or an authorized agent. Such request may be withdrawn at
any time by the owner or agent and said horse returned to conditioned
racing.
c) Where a meeting is in
progress in December and continues in January of the subsequent year, races and
earnings won at that meeting may be computed in determining whether a horse may
be placed on the invitational list.
