STATE HORSE
RACING COMMISSION

Claiming Regulations and Procedures; Standardbred Horse Racing

[48 Pa.B. 5819]
[Saturday, September 15, 2018]

 The State Horse Racing Commission (Commission) provides notice that on August 28, 2018, at its regularly scheduled public meeting, it issued an Order adopting, as a temporary regulation, an amendment to its existing standardbred claiming rules and regulations in 58 Pa. Code § 183.151(l) (relating to claiming regulations and procedures) by changing the present 30-day time period to a 60-day time period for a subsequent transfer or sale of the horse. Entry of one's horses in claiming races and the ability to claim (that is, purchase) horses from out of those races is part of a voluntary program. Licensed individuals participating in claiming races understand the provisions, requirements and significant restrictions within claiming procedures. This Order was adopted under authority of 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 9311(h) and 9312(6)(i) (relating to State Horse Racing Commission; and additional powers of Commission), under Administrative Doc. No. 2018-8.

 The general purpose of the Order is: (1) to increase the time period within which a properly claimed horse may be subsequently sold or transferred; (2) to maintain a steady and consistent horse population at each licensed standardbred racetrack by increasing the horse's presence at the particular racetrack; and (3) to create uniformity and consistency between existing ''house'' rules presently in place at licensed standardbred racetracks within the Commonwealth.

 This Order and the Annex A will take effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. In addition, the Order and specific provisions have been posted and published on the Commission's web site at http://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Animals/RacingCommission/commission/Pages/Publications.aspx. The Commission will also provide copies of the Order upon request directed to (717) 787-5539.
