Ill. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 1415.190 - Failure of Starting Gate
If for any reason the doors in front of any stall in a mechanically or electrically operated gate should fail to open, thereby preventing a horse from starting when the starter dispatches the field, these rules shall apply.
a) If the
conditions for a race include a starting fee, such fee shall be repaid to the
owner of the horse prevented from starting in the race through failure of the
gates to open.
b) Where the film
patrol is not used, the starter shall make the sole decision on the question of
what horse or horses are prevented from starting in a race through failure of
the gates to open.
c) No recall or
recall flag shall be used because of the failure of the gates to
open.
d) If in any race less than
two horses leave the stalls, the operator shall not be obliged to make payment
of purse money to the one horse which finishes, but shall endeavor to re-card
the race at the earliest time possible.
