§ 205.202. Horse identification records.

 (a)  No horse may start in any race at an extended pari-mutuel or any other meeting unless it is fully identified. The burden of establishing the identity of a horse rests with the person or persons having charge of the horse at the meeting, and in connection therewith any person found guilty of fraud or attempted fraud or any person who aids in any way in the perpetration of a fraud or any person who participates in any attempt at fraud shall be expelled. Provided further that the provisions of this section shall not be interpreted as relieving the paddock Judge or the identifier, or both, from any responsibilities outlined in Rule 6.17 and 6.18 of the USTA.

 (b)  Horses must race under the name of the bona fide owner. Horses under lease must race in the name of the lessee and a copy of the lease must be recorded with the USTA and with the Commission. Persons violating this rule may be fined, suspended or both.
