Rule 7a.
(1) If a
purse is paid in part or in full by state funds, then a driver shall not drive
in a fair harness race while under the influence of alcohol. A driver shall
submit to a breath analyzer test when directed by a representative of the
director. A driver is in violation of these rules if test results show a
reading of 0.05% or more of alcohol in the blood and shall not be permitted to
drive for at least 12 hours.
(2) If
a purse is to be paid in part or full by state funds, then the horse shall be
free of any substances, as determined by the office of racing commissioner,
that could enhance the performance of the horse during the race. The owner or
driver shall submit the horse for urine, blood, saliva, or other tests when
directed by a representative of the director.
(3) If a horse dies while on grounds for a
fair horseracing program, then the horse may not be removed until a blood
sample is drawn. If an authorized department representative is not present,
then the judge shall authorize the veterinarian services for draw on behalf of
the department.
(4) The judge and
fair management shall acknowledge and enforce any sanctions made by the
department or the office of racing commissioner against a driver, owner, or
trainer. Any individual sanctioned from racing this state shall not be allowed
in the paddock area, racetrack, or any other area on the fairgrounds deemed to
be part of the racing program.
