Current through September 2, 2024
Section 11.04.01.685 - TIMER MALFUNCTION IN A TIME TRIAL
01.Electronic Time Malfunction. Should a malfunction occur with electronic timer on any time trial, finalists from that time trial will then be determined by official hand times operated by three (3) official and disinterested persons.
02.Average of Times. The average of the three (3) hand times will be utilized for the winning time, unless one (1) of the hand times is clearly incorrect. In such cases, the average of the two (2) accurate hand times will be utilized for the winning time. Other horses will be given times according to the order and margins of finish with the aid of the photo-finish, if available.
03.Malfunction in Some Trials Only. When there is a malfunction of the timer in some time trials, but the timer operates correctly in other time trials, the accurate electronic times will not be discarded, nor will the average of the hand times be used for all time trials.
04.Accuracy Questioned. If the accuracy of the electronic timer or the average of the hand times, or both, are questioned, the video of a time trial may be used by the Board of Stewards to estimate the winning time by counting the number of video frames in the race from the moment the starting gate stall doors are fully open parallel to the racing track.
05.Based on Video. When the timer malfunctions and there are no hand times, the Board of Stewards may select qualifiers based on the video.
