The Pennsylvania Code website reflects the Pennsylvania Code changes effective through 54 Pa.B. 5598 (August 31, 2024).

7 Pa. Code § 305.235. Nominations.

§ 305.235. Nominations.

 (a)  Any nominator to a stakes race may transfer or declare the nomination prior to closing.

 (b)  Joint nominations and entries may be made by any one of joint owners of a horse, and each owner shall be jointly and severally liable for all payments due.

 (c)  Death of a horse, or a mistake in its entry when the horse is eligible, does not release the nominator or transferee from liability for all stakes fees due. No fees paid in connection with a nomination to a stakes race that is run shall be refunded, except as otherwise stated in the conditions of a stakes race.

 (d)  Death of a nominator to a stakes race shall not render void any subscription, entry or right of entry. All rights, privileges and obligations shall be attached to the legal heirs of the decedent or the successor owner of the horse.

 (e)  When a horse is sold privately or at public auction or claimed, stakes engagements shall be transferred automatically to its new owner; except when the horse is transferred to a person whose license is suspended or who is otherwise unqualified to race or enter the horse, then the nomination shall be void as of the date of the transfer.

 (f)  All stakes fees paid toward a stakes race shall be allocated to the winner unless otherwise provided by the conditions for the race. If a stakes race is not run for any reason, all the nomination fees paid shall be refunded.
