Mich. Admin. Code R. 431.4190 - Preference
Rule 4190.
(1)
Preference shall be given in all overnight races according to a horse's last
previous purse race. If 2 or more horses have the same preference date, then a
second preference date shall be used. If 2 or more horses have the same first
and second preference dates, then the entry must be determined by lot. The
preference date on a horse that has drawn to race and been scratched is the
date of the race from which the horse was scratched.
(2) When a horse is racing for its first
lifetime start, the date of the first successful qualifying race shall be
considered its preference date. However, if an overnight race has been reopened
because it did not fill, all eligible horses declared in to the race before the
reopening shall receive preference over horses subsequently declared,
irrespective of the actual preference dates.
