2012-09-01

120. For a horse to be claimed, it shall start in the race for which it was declared.

Where a horse chosen to start in a claiming race is scratched for a reason other than that provided for in paragraphs 1 to 7 of section 52, and in sections 105, 129 and 190, that horse may be claimed at its next start in Québec at a claiming price not to exceed that of the race from which it was scratched, regardless of the kind of race with a purse in which it participates, provided the start is held within 60 days following the date of the race from which it was scratched.

For the purposes of this section, a horse is deemed to have started where the horse’s nose has reached the starting line or the safety line, as the case may be.
