(a) A steward or a
designee of the stewards shall supervise the making of claims and ensure the
accuracy of all claims made in a race.
(b) A claim must be made in writing on forms
and in envelopes approved by the executive secretary. The form and envelope
must be filled out completely and must be accurate in every detail. For
purposes of this section, the name of the horse as it appears in the official
program governs.
(c) The person
making a claim is responsible for determining the sex of the horse.
(d) A claim must be time stamped with the
official track time shown on the tote board and deposited in a locked box
provided by the racing secretary not later than 15 minutes before post time of
the race in which the horse being claimed is to start. A person may not place
money or its equivalent in the claim box.
(e) Before the deadline for filing claims for
a race, a person may not:
(1) open the box in
which claims are deposited; or
(2)
reveal information regarding the filing of a claim.
(f) After the deadline for filing claims for
a race, a steward or a designee of the stewards shall open the box, examine the
claims, and notify the stewards of all accurate claims. The steward or designee
will then notify the horsemen's bookkeeper of the claims to determine whether
the appropriate amount is on deposit with the bookkeeper in accordance with
this subchapter and to debit the claimant's account for the amount of the
claim, plus all applicable fees. If more than one person enters a claim for a
horse, a steward or a designee of the stewards shall determine the disposition
of the horse by lot.
