Policy/Interpretive Statement 2006-03
Entries, Nominations, and Scratches
WAC 260-40-040 states that only the owner of
a horse, the owner’s authorized agent,
or a person deputized by the owner may enter
or declare (nominate) a horse for a race. A
person entering or nominating a horse to run
must possess certain information related to
the horse’s medication, the equipment
to be worn, and the name of the jockey to ride
the horse in the race entered or nominated for.
Therefore, the Washington Horse Racing Commission
has determined that an owner or trainer can
only deputize a person licensed as a trainer
or jockey agent to enter or nominate a horse
to run. In addition, any trainer or jockey agent
deputized by an owner to enter or nominate a
horse shall be responsible for the accuracy
of the information provided at the time of entry
or nomination and may face possible disciplinary
action regarding inaccurate entries.
Adopted by the Commission
