Section 294-15.002 - GENERAL PROVISIONS15.002.01 A person entering a horse in a claiming race warrants that the title to said horse is free and clear of any existing claim or lien, either as security interest mortgage, bill of sale, or lien of any kind; unless before entering such horse, the written consent of the holder of the claim or lien has been filed with the stewards and the racing secretary and its entry approved by the stewards. A transfer of ownership arising from a recognized claiming race will terminate any existing prior lease for that horse.15.002.02 Title to a claimed horse shall be vested in the successful claimant at the time the horse becomes a "starter". The successful claimant shall then become the owner of the horse whether it be alive or dead, sound or unsound or injured at any time during the race or after. However, the successful claimant may request on the claim blank at the time he/she makes the claim that the horse be tested for the presence of equine infectious anemia via a Coggins test, or other test as approved by the official veterinarian Should this test prove positive, it shall be cause for voiding the claim. The expense of the test and the maintenance of the horse during the period requested for the test, shall be the responsibility of the successful claimant, unless the test proves positive, wherein the owner(s) of the horse at the time of entry shall be responsible.15.002.03 An in-foal filly or mare shall be eligible to be entered into a claiming race only if the following conditions are fulfilled:(a) Full disclosure of such fact is on file with the racing secretary and such information is posted in his/her office;(b) The stallion service certificate has been deposited with the racing secretary's office;(c) All payments due for the service in question and for any live progeny resulting from that service are paid in full; and(d) The release of the stallion service certificate to the successful claimant at the time of claim is guaranteed.15.002.04 The stewards may set aside and order rescission of a claim for any horse from a claiming race run in this jurisdiction upon a showing that any party to the claim committed a prohibited action, as specified in section 15.005 of this chapter, or that the owner of the horse at the time of entry in the claiming race failed to comply with any requirement of these rules. Should the stewards order a rescission of a claim, they may make a further order for the costs of maintenance and care of the horse, as they may deem appropriate.294 Neb. Admin.
