16 Tex. Admin. Code § 313.303 - Effective Time of Claim
(a) A person who
has a valid claim to a horse becomes the owner of the horse when the horse
steps on to the racetrack for the race. A claim shall be voided and ownership
of the horse retained by the original owner if:
(1) the horse dies on the racetrack or is
euthanized by a Commission Veterinarian before leaving the racetrack, either on
the race surface or in the equine ambulance.
(2) the horse has a musculoskeletal injury
that requires loading in the equine ambulance for safe removal from the track.
This claim is only voided after proper Veterinary examination of injury and the
on duty Commission Veterinarian is contacted and approves of euthanasia. Horses
euthanized without Veterinarian examination and notification to the attending
Commission Veterinarian will not be entitled to a voided claim.
(b) Horses vanned off the track
for medical conditions (including but not limited to EIPH, Myositis, heat
stress, extreme exhaustion) will not be treated as a voided claim.
(c) On the day claimed, a claimed horse runs
in the interest of and for the account of the owner from whom the horse was
claimed.
