16 Tex. Admin. Code § 319.102 - Veterinarian's List
(a) The commission
veterinarian shall maintain a veterinarians' list of the horses that are
ineligible to start in a race due to physical distress, unsoundness, or
infirmity. The test barn supervisor shall ensure that a current version of the
veterinarian's list is posted daily in the racing office.
(b) On a form prescribed by the executive
secretary, the commission veterinarian shall notify the racing secretary and
the trainer of a horse placed on the veterinarian's list as soon as practical
after placing the horse on the list.
(c) A horse that is placed on the
veterinarian's list may not be removed from the list before the fourth day
after the date the horse is placed on the list. A horse may be removed from the
veterinarian's list only on demonstrating to the commission veterinarian that
the horse is raceably sound and in fit physical condition to exert its best
effort in a race.
(d) Before
removing a horse from the veterinarian's list, the commission veterinarian may
require the horse to perform satisfactorily in a workout or qualifying race.
Performance in such a workout or qualifying race must be conducted in
accordance with §
319.3 of this title (relating to
Medication Restricted), except that, for a workout or qualifying race to be
used for the purpose of removing a horse from the veterinarian's list, the
horse must not have any detectable level of permissible therapeutic medication
other than furosemide. The commission veterinarian may require the collection
of test specimens from a horse after a workout or race required under this
subsection. If a specimen is collected under this subsection, the commission
veterinarian may not remove the horse from the veterinarian's list until the
results of the test are negative.
(e) A workout for or an examination by a
commission veterinarian in any pari-mutuel jurisdiction will be recognized for
the purposes of removing a horse from the veterinarian's list.
