Section 4117.3 - Use or removal of hopples

(a) The trainer has discretion on the use of hopples, subject to the judges cancelling any change in the use of hopples on a horse in the exercise of the judges' discretion to protect the integrity of racing and the wagering public.

(b) The entry of the horse shall state whether such horse will use hopples or not. Failure to include a change on the entry form disallows any addition or subtraction of hopples for the race. Every change in a horse's use of hopples must be included in the program.

(c) Any person found culpable of removing or altering a horse's hopples during a race or between races for the purpose of fraud shall be suspended or expelled.
