(a) If a race is marred by jams, spills, or racing circumstances
other than accidents to the equipment while a race is being run, and three
or more greyhounds finish, the racing judges shall declare the race finished
and official. If less than three greyhounds finish in such a race, the racing
judges shall declare "no race" and all money wagered on the race shall be
refunded.
(b) During a race, if the lure does not remain in advance of
all the greyhounds at all times, or if a greyhound catches or passes the
lure during a race, the racing judges shall declare "no race" and all money
wagered on the race shall be refunded.
(c) During the running of a race, if a greyhound bolts the
course or runs in the opposite direction of the running of the race, and the
racing judges determine that the greyhound interfered with another greyhound
in the race, the racing judges shall declare "no race" and all money wagered
on the race shall be refunded.
(d) The racing judges shall immediately report a "no race"
to the executive secretary and include a detailed explanation of the cause.
Not later than five days after the date of a "no race", the association may
apply to the executive secretary for a make-up race to replace the "no race".
