Each owner must obtain a license from the Racing Commission. Owner includes sole owner, part owner or lessee. Where in the case of extenuating circumstances an owner may be unavailable to complete the license application, permission may be granted by the Racing Commission for the horses of said owner to be entered. The trainer for the owner in question will be required to promptly fill out a temporary application and pay all license fees.
