A person may not claim the person's own horse or cause the horse to be claimed directly or indirectly for the person's own account. The horse the claimant has registered for racing at that meeting, in the opinion of the stewards, must justify the claimant's right to claim. The stewards are the sole judges of the quality of the horses in the stable of the claimant and shall decide when the spirit as well as the intent of this chapter is being violated. They may, at their discretion, declare any claim void.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 5 SDR 87, effective April 15, 1979; transferred from §&nbsp;20:04:08:01, 9 SDR 122, effective March 31, 1983; 12 SDR 151, 12 SDR 155, effective July 1, 1986; 23 SDR 126, effective February 13, 1997.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7-56">42-7-56.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7-56">42-7-56.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
