LAC 35:I.1739. Disqualified Horse Recognized as Winner

A. When the stewards declare a horse to be the winner or qualifier of an elimination or eligibility race for a futurity, stakes or handicap and, thereafter, a report as described in §1729 is received from the state chemist, the horse shall be deemed to have forfeited its eligibility to compete in any subsequent race related to that futurity, stakes or handicap. B. However, except as otherwise provided in this Section, the horse declared by the stewards to be the official winner of the race will be recognized as the winner of the race for the purposes of meeting the eligibility and conditions of all subsequent races.
