at the facility and shall promptly eject any person who is found to be wagering.

services and facilities are available to the training facility in close enough
proximity to permit a response time of one hour or less. The veterinary services
and facilities are subject to the approval of the executive secretary.
(d) A training facility licensee shall maintain records regarding
the management and operation of the training facility and the records are
subject to inspection by the executive secretary. A training facility licensee
shall cooperate fully with the Commission, the executive secretary, and the

secretary, or the Department of Public Safety.
(e) A training facility licensee shall post in a prominent
place a list of the dates and times that official workouts may be obtained.

are subject to inspection and verification by the executive secretary at any
time. If the executive secretary determines that inappropriate or unsafe conditions
exist at the training facility or that the integrity of workouts obtained
at the facility are in question, the executive secretary may immediately notify
the pari-mutuel racetracks in this state that workouts obtained at the facility
may not be accepted as official workouts. The executive secretary shall notify
the general manager or chief executive officer of the licensed training facility
of the executive secretary's findings and specifically describe the corrective
action necessary to make the facility's workouts official, to rectify the
inappropriate condition, or to make the conditions safe. The training facility
may take the necessary corrective action or request a hearing on the executive
secretary's findings.
