4. In no event will a horse be eligible to enter a race unless the hair testing has been completed and a negative result has been provided to the racing secretary in accor- dance with these conditions.
5. All Futurities and Derbies during the 2019 meet (for Quarter Horse, Paint, and Ap- paloosa) are ALSO subject to hair testing requirements. The conditions of each of those races also require a negative hair test collected within 45 days of date of trials
to be eligible to ENTER for said trials.
This may result in horses being required to have additional hair tests if the hair testing described in #1. above was con- ducted more than 45 days prior to the running of the trials.
*Hair tests, and the results of any such test- ing, as required by this condition are not con- sidered official tests or results by the OHRC.
PAYMENT OF PARTICIPATION PURSE
The owner of each horse that has provided results of a negative hair test will be paid a one- time $250 Participation Purse bonus when the horse competes in its first overnight race during the meet. Trials and Stake race participants will not be eligible for this bonus, but if the first start is a trial or a stake race the payment will be made only if the horse comes back and runs in an overnight race.
