SECTION 315.209. No Race

(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".
