71 IAC 7.5-1-10 Also eligible list

Sec. 10. (a) If the number of entries for a race exceeds the number of horses permitted to start, the racing secretary may create and post an also eligible list. (b) If any horse is scratched from a race for which an also eligible list was created, a replacement horse shall be drawn from the also eligible list into the race in order of preference. If none is preferred, a horse shall be drawn into the race from the also eligible list by public lot. (c) Any owner or trainer of a horse on the also eligible list who does not wish to start the horse in such race shall so notify the racing secretary prior to scratch time for the race, thereby forfeiting any preference to which the horse may have been entitled. (d) A horse which draws into a straightaway race from the also eligible list shall start from the post position vacated by the scratched horse. In the event more than one (1) horse is scratched, post positions of horses drawing in from the also eligible list shall be determined by public lot. (e) A horse which draws into a nonstraightaway race from the also eligible list shall start from the outermost post position. In the event more than one (1) horse is scratched, post positions of horses drawing in from the also eligible list shall be determined by public lot.
