CLASS A AND CLASS B MISCELLANEOUS LICENCES

323 A Class A or Class B miscellaneous Licenceholder attending to any horse or fulfilling any duties, at any Race Meeting or trials (including jump-outs or tests for certification purposes) must wear, so as to be visible by relevant officials, a current identification card issued by NZTR.

ABILITY TO RIDE

324 Only a Rider, or holder of a Class A miscellaneous licence (except for a holder of such a licence that contains a condition prohibiting the holder from riding horses) or Class B miscellaneous licence, or Trainer, or such other person approved by a Stipendiary Steward, may ride a horse, which is registered, at any Racecourse, Training Facility or Trainer’s Premises.

TRAINERS

325 (1) A Trainer may engage another Trainer to assist in the care, control or training of a horse only if that first trainer has NZTR’s permission, which may be granted on such conditions as NZTR sees fit.

(2) A Licensed Person who is an employee of a Trainer may train any horse of his employer during the latter’s absence not exceeding one month (or such other period as may be approved in any particular case by NZTR) and he may on behalf of his employer take charge of any such horse at, and for the purposes of, any Race Meeting at which his employer is not present.

(3) Where a Trainer of a horse which is to run at a Race Meeting is not in attendance at that Race Meeting, he must authorise another Trainer or Licensed Person to care for the horse at the Race Meeting and inform a Stipendiary Steward not later than one hour before the start of the Race of the identity of that person.

(4) Subject to the provisions of the preceding sub-Rules of this Rule, a horse may only start in a Race, and a person may only start a horse in a Race, if that horse has been in training under the direct charge or care of a Trainer for a continuous period of not less than four weeks immediately prior to such Race, provided that the spelling of a horse after a Race at any Race Meeting held during the said period of four weeks shall be regarded as training for the purposes of this Rule.

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of these Rules NZTR may authorise a Trainer to quarter or train horses at more than one Trainer’s Premises, or to train or work horses from more than one Training Facility, subject to such conditions (if any) as NZTR thinks fit to impose. If a Trainer has been so authorised any horse which he trains at or from any of his authorised Trainer’s Premises or Training Facilities shall for all the purposes of these Rules be deemed to be trained by him and no objection shall be taken to any such horse on the ground that while it was in training in one or more of his authorised Trainer’s Premises or Training Facilities it was not under his direct charge or care.

326 (1) Within seven days after any horse is taken or comes into the charge of a Trainer for the purpose of being trained the Trainer shall complete and forward to NZTR the form prescribed for that purpose by NZTR and in completing that form the Trainer must ensure that he has correctly identified the horse.

(2) Every Trainer shall, within seven days after a horse trained by him:

(a) ceases to be in his charge or under his supervision for the purpose of being trained; or
