Kan. Admin. Regs. § 112-8-8 - Weights, weighing, and weigh-in
(a) Each greyhound
shall be weighed not less than one hour before the time of the first race of
the day unless prior permission is granted by a racing judge.
(b) Before any greyhound may officially
school or race, each kennel owner or trainer shall establish the racing weight
of the greyhound with the clerk of scales.
(c) If there is a variation of more than one
and one-half pounds above or below the established weight of the greyhound at
weighing-in time, the racing judges shall order the greyhound scratched.
(d) If any greyhound has lost more
than two pounds at weigh-out time from its weigh-in weight while in the
lock-out kennel, the racing judges may order the greyhound scratched. If the
loss of weight does not impair the racing condition of the greyhound in the
opinion of the assistant animal health officer, the racing judges may allow the
greyhound to race. Each greyhound that is a weight loser shall be identified
with the initials WL on the racing program.
(e) Each weight regulation set out in
subsections (a) through (d) of this regulation shall be printed in the racing
program.
(f) The racing judges
shall scratch a greyhound if there is a variation of more than two pounds
between the greyhound's weighing-in weight for the present race and the
weighing-in weight for its last race.
(g) Any kennel owner or trainer may file a
written request to change a greyhound's racing weight with the racing judges.
The judges shall state in writing whether the change is allowed and shall
direct the change to be made four calendar days before the greyhound is
permitted to start at the new weight.
(1)
Each greyhound that has an established weight change of more than one pound
shall be schooled at least once at the new established weight before it is
eligible to start in a race. The racing judges may require more than one
schooling in this event.
(2) Any
greyhound that has not raced or schooled officially for a period of three weeks
may be allowed to establish a new racing weight with the permission of the
racing judges.
(h)
Subject to the approval of the commission , a second weigh-in may be held during
performances with more than 13 races, if a sufficient number of crates are
available in the lock-out kennels.
(i) Each greyhound shall be placed in the
lock-out kennel under the supervision of the paddock judge immediately after it
is weighed in, and only the paddock judge, the animal health officer, the
assistant animal health officers, the kennel master, the lead-outs, or the
racing judges shall enter the lock-out kennels. None of these individuals shall
enter the lock-out kennels unaccompanied.
