As a rule that does not require a RFA, RAFA or JIS, this rule will be initially reviewed in the calendar year 2019, which is no later than the 5th year after the year in which this rule is being adopted.

One public comment was received in response to the publication of the proposed rule-making in the October 2, 2013 State Register. A racetrack official wrote in support and suggested that the proposed rule should require the previous trainer of a claimed horse to submit the previous 30 days of veterinary information to the Commission, which would then transmit such information to the claimant. The Commission rejected this approach because it would add an unnecessary layer of reporting to the rule. Another Commission rule, 9 NYCRR 4043.4(b), already require the trainer or veterinarian of a horse to report all corticosteroid joint injections (“CJI”) to the Commission on the Commission’s online reporting system. Such reports are mandatory within 48 hours of such treatments. Such treatments are not permitted within seven days of racing. The Commission has modified this system to transfer the already reported CJI information to the claimant of a horse, once the previous trainer verifies online that such claim has occurred.
