- Rules 603(c), 636(1)(c–g) & 640(1)(c) – Relating to remounting during a race / entering a race track during the running of a race/pulling up
NZTR has made amendments to Rules relating to remounting during a race, entering a race track during the running of a race and pulling up to strengthen safety and welfare.
With regard to Rule 640(1)(c), it is NZTR’s practice to divide any unclaimed prize money among the runners that do not finish in a jumping race on a case-by-case basis. It is not intended to introduce a Rule for this.
603 A person shall not:
(a) impede the conduct of a Race Meeting; or
(b) behave improperly towards, or impede, a Stipendiary Steward, Investigator, Official, Employee or member of the Committee of a Club, NZTR or NZRB in the course of their duties; or
(c) enter the race track during the running of a race without the permission of a Stipendiary Steward.
636 (1) A person:
(a) shall not run a horse, or cause or permit a horse to be run, other than on its merits;
(b) being the Rider of a horse in a Race, must take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the Race to ensure that his horse is given full opportunity to win the Race or to obtain the best possible finishing place;
(c) being the Rider of a horse in a Race, which he pulls up for any reason, must wait in the area where he pulled up until all contenders in the race have passed by and, if the race is a steeplechase or hurdle race, he must refrain from jumping any further steeples or hurdles;
