Section 183.206. Permitted withdrawals

(a) Any decision other than unanimous by this committee will allow any entrant to scratch his horse or horses after posting 10% of the purse to be raced for. If the number of withdrawals received shall cause the field to be less than five separate betting interests, then the track management shall have the right to postponement of any early closing event or stake and cancellation of an overnight event.

(b) Said money posted shall be forwarded to the Commission and shall be retained as a fine, or refunded to the individual after a decision, based on a hearing by the Commission, has been made as to whether the withdrawal was for good cause. The procedure as set forth in this section shall apply only to the withdrawal of horses properly declared in and does not relate to postponement which is covered elsewhere.
