KAR #Summary
810 KAR 3:020 This amendment allows a written request for a waiver of licensing requirements for racing participants and new language details the information required when requesting a waiver. The KHRGC may then grant or deny the request based on at least the current licenses issued to the waiver applicant and the best interests and integrity of horse racing, pari-mutuel wagering and sports wagering. It also adds language referencing a request for waiver as an option when referencing an application for license, changes the earliest date to submit a license application from November 1 to October 1, and removes the 3-day cap for special events licenses.

KAR #Summary
810 KAR 4:030This amendment changes four sections in 4:030. The change to Section 3 adds circumstances under which a horse may be entered to run in two (2) races on the same day. The changes to Section 5 prevent more than two horses having common ties through ownership to be entered in a purse race and allows for up to two horses having common ties through training to start in a purse race to the exclusion of a single entry. The changes to Section 11 correct a comma-placement error and allow horses scratching from the also-eligible list to maintain any preference to which it may have been entitled. The changes to Section 17 amend the timing and procedure for the examination of an entry by the attending veterinarian.
