Or. Admin. Code § 462-150-0010 - Workouts; Exercise; Schooling
(1)
An official workout must be under the supervision of the clocker. The galloping
or ponying of horses for exercise, and unofficial schooling out of the gate,
are not official workouts.
(2)
Before a horse has an official workout, the trainer shall ensure that the
clocker is notified and the horse is properly identified. Mandatory schooling
must be under the supervision of the appropriate racing official, who must keep
a record of the results of the schooling. Official workouts must be timed and
recorded. Official workouts may be accepted from other training tracks if the
track and clocker are approved and licensed by the commission.
(3) Official workouts may be accepted from a
race meet or licensed public training track in another state if reported by a
licensed clocker of the other state to the licensed clocker in Oregon or
reported in the Daily Racing Form, or other approved publications.
(4) No devices other than authorized riding
equipment may be used for any workout, and no horse shall be worked out while
under the influence of a prohibited drug or an unauthorized quantity of a
permitted drug. The levels of permitted medications for workouts are the same
as for race days. The stewards or commission veterinarian may require any horse
to be tested for drugs after a workout.
(5)
(a) A
Thoroughbred horse that has never run in a recognized race must have a minimum
of two official workouts within 30 days before being eligible to start in an
official race. Any Thoroughbred horse that has not run in a recognized race in
the 30 days prior to the race in which it is sought to be entered must have at
least one official workout within the previous 30 days before being eligible to
race in an official race.
(b) A
Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, Paint, Arabian or mule that has never run in a
recognized race must have a minimum of two official workouts within 45 days
before being eligible to start in an official race. Any Quarter Horse,
Appaloosa, Paint, Arabian or mule that has not run in a recognized race in the
45 days prior to the race in which it is sought to be entered must have at
least one official work within the previous 45 days before being eligible to
start in an official race. (c) The first time a horse or mule races around a
turn it must have not less than 1 work around the turn within the past 45
days.
(6) No horse may
be worked out during pari-mutuel racing hours without prior permission from the
paddock judge and the stewards.

Before accepting the entry of any horse, the stewards may require the horse to
have additional official workouts. Also the stewards or the commission
veterinarian may, for good cause, order a horse to be worked at a specific
distance and effort.

other than an official workout which has been recorded by a licensed clocker
shall be submitted for publication in the Daily Racing Form, Equibase or other
