Kan. Admin. Regs. § 112-8-5 - Schooling

(b) The distance of each schooling race shall be not less than the distance nearest to 5/16 mile used at the racetrack.

(c) Each greyhound that has not raced for 10 live racing days or 15 calendar days, whichever is less, shall be schooled officially at least once at its racing weight before it is eligible for entry.

(d) Except as specified in this subsection, each official schooling race shall consist of at least six greyhounds. However, the racing judges may permit fewer greyhounds to facilitate schooling.

(e) Each greyhound participating in an official schooling race shall be at its established racing weight and start from the box wearing a racing muzzle and blanket approved by the racing judges.

(f) Any greyhound may be ordered on the schooling list by the racing judges at any time for good cause. The greyhound shall be schooled officially and satisfactorily before it is allowed to enter a race.

(g) Each organization licensee shall provide a photo-finish camera, approved by the commission, which shall be operated at all official schooling races. The organization licensee shall provide videotapes of official schooling races. The tapes shall be available for viewing at the times posted at the racetrack.

(h) Except as specified in this subsection, each organization licensee shall provide, without cost, a minimum of two official schooling days and two unofficial schooling days per week at the parimutuel racetrack facility during the race meet. However, if an organization licensee schedules only three or fewer race days per week, the licensee shall provide a minimum of one official schooling day and two unofficial schooling days per week during the race meet. The official and unofficial schoolings shall be scheduled at specific times and for sufficient duration to allow reasonable time for the greyhounds to school.
