A trainer who has entered a horse in an overnight event may scratch his entry from the race at scratch time until there remain in the race only eight interests. If there are more requests to withdraw than are available, permission to withdraw shall be decided by lot. In all races involving the daily double no entry may be withdrawn that would reduce the starting field to less than eight interests without permission of the stewards. No other entries will be excused except as provided in this section or upon receipt of a veterinarian's certificate of unfitness, change of track conditions since time of entry, or other causes acceptable to the stewards.
