An owner whose stable has been eliminated by claiming or by fire or other hazards shall have the right to claim during the remainder of the meeting at which such stable was eliminated, or for the next 30 racing days of that racing association, whichever period is longer. If the 30-day period should extend into the next succeeding meeting of that racing association, the owner must obtain a certificate from the stewards of the meeting at which such owner lost his or her last horse. The owner must present this certificate when filing a claim at the next meeting.
