PART XI

DISQUALIFICATIONS AND SUSPENSIONS

DISQUALIFICATIONS

1101 (1) Each disqualification imposed under these Rules will take effect immediately, unless the Tribunal imposing the disqualification specifies a later date on which the disqualification will take effect.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, from the date such disqualification takes effect until such time as a person’s and/or a horse’s name appears in the List of Disqualifications that person and/or horse shall be subject to the same disabilities affecting persons and horses whose names then currently appear in the List of Disqualifications.

1102 If a horse placed by a Judge in a Race is disqualified pursuant to these Rules after running that Race, then for the purposes of placings it shall be regarded as if it did not start the Race and the placings will be altered accordingly.

1103 (1) A List of Disqualifications, which shall have effect throughout New Zealand, shall be kept and, from time to time, may be published by NZTR. It shall include details of each disqualification notified to NZTR by a Tribunal.

(2) Where a person is disqualified pursuant to these Rules, the List of Disqualifications shall include the names of:

(a) all horses of which such person was the Owner or had a leasehold interest on the date such disqualification takes effect or such other date specified by the Tribunal, which may be either the day when the breach of these Rules was committed for which such person was disqualified or any date later than that day;

(b) all horses of which such disqualified person has become the Owner or in which he has acquired any interest (including a leasehold interest) since the date so named; and

(c) all horses in which such disqualified person acquires any interest during the term of his disqualification or which at any time during that term are under his management, care, control or superintendence.

(3) The entry of a horse’s name in the List of Disqualifications shall operate as a disqualification of such horse for the term of such person’s Disqualification and any horse which could be so named on the List of Disqualifications shall be deemed to have been named and disqualified on the same basis.

1104 (1) A person who is disqualified in accordance with this Part XI, or whose name appears in the list of disqualifications of Another Racing Authority shall not during the period of that disqualification:

(a) enter or run any horse for any Race, either in his own name or in that of any other person and every entry theretofore made by him or of a horse in which he has any interest for a Race to be run shall be void as from the date of disqualification;

(b) train any horse or ride any horse in a Race or be employed in any capacity in connection with the training or racing of horses; and/or

(c) enter or go upon any Racecourse or any Training Facility or other place owned or controlled by any Club or by any consortium or other entity of which a Club is a member or in which it is a participant.

(2) A horse named in the List of Disqualifications shall, during the period of its disqualification, be prohibited from being entered for or being started in any Race and from being taken for any purpose to a Racecourse or into any other place controlled by a Club or any consortium or other entity of which a Club is a member or in which it is a participant.

(3) A person who contravenes this Rule shall, in addition to any other penalty which may be imposed under any of these Rules, be disqualified for an additional period of not less than six months to commence at the end of the period of the current disqualification.
