(b) If the Stipendiary Steward is not so satisfied, he shall complete an information and file it with the Registrar for the Judicial Committee and the Judicial Committee shall then determine whether there are such circumstances and whether the Trainer or Owner or lessee (as the case may be) or his Agent or its Racing Manager is authorised to scratch the horse after that time.
(c) A material change in the condition of the track, occurring after the scratching deadline (as specified for the relevant Race Meeting in accordance with Rule 510(d)(v) or as amended by NZTR from time to time) on the relevant Race day, shall be deemed by the Stipendiary Steward and the Judicial Committee to constitute such circumstances.
(3) A Stipendiary Steward may scratch a horse at any time from the Withdrawal Deadline up until the scratching deadline if there are reasonable circumstances which, in the opinion of the Stipendiary Steward, warrants that horse being scratched.
(4) If the Trainer or Owner or lessee (as the case may be) or his Agent or the Racing Manager of a horse which is scratched pursuant to Rule 534(3) wishes to appeal against that decision, he shall inform the Stipendiary Stewards of that wish and a Stipendiary Steward shall file an information with the Judicial Committee who shall consider the matter de novo.
(5) Scratchings shall be final and a horse which has been scratched by the Trainer or Owner or lessee (as the case may be) or his Agent or its Racing Manager shall not be reinstated for a Race, unless following an application from the Trainer or Owner or lessee (as the case may be) or his Agent or its Racing Manager NZTR, in its sole discretion, directs that a horse which has been so scratched be reinstated.
