(a) A jockey, trainer, or owner of a horse may make a claim
of interference with the stewards before a race is declared official if the
jockey, trainer, or owner has reasonable grounds to believe the horse was
interfered with or impeded during the running of the race or that a jockey
violated the Rules during the race. On receiving a claim of interference,
the stewards shall display the objection sign on the tote board.
(b) A person may not make a claim of interference if the person
knows the claim is inaccurate or false.
(c) An individual who makes a frivolous claim of interference
is subject to discipline by the stewards.
