Date of Proposal: September 7, 2010

Proposal Number: PRN 2010-185

Proposal Description: The proposed amendment to rule N.J.A.C. 13:71-17.1 would implement a “fair start pole” to be erected approximately 200 feet before the start. The fair start pole would be yellow and protrude at least two feet above the inner rail. The pole would be used to disqualify a horse from the pari-mutuel wagering pools if the horse has not reached the fair start pole when the mobile starting gate reaches the race’s starting point. The proposed rule provides an opportunity for bettors to receive a refund of their wagers if a horse they wagered on did not receive a fair start and was disqualified.

Summary of Proposal:
A complete summary of the proposed rule amendment is posted on the New Jersey Racing Commission Web site at:
www.nj.gov/oag/racing/downloads/proprules/09.07.10-Proposal-Fair-Start-Pole.pdf

Public Comment:
Public comment on the proposed rule will be accepted until December 6, 2010.

Please direct all comments to:

Frank Zanzuccki, Executive Director
