The owner of such an Indiana bred or sired horse may render the horse ineligible for the testing as described in this regulation by indicating in writing the Indiana bred or sired horse is not intended to race in Indiana, pursuant to subsection (b) below provided that the owner of such an Indiana bred or sired horse provides such written notice to the office of the commission thirty (30) days before the horse turns two (2) years old or within thirty (30) days after the owner acquires the horse. In this event, the horse shall be deemed ineligible for racing in Indiana as provided for in subsection (b) below.
(b)HorsesIf a horse to be testedshall be selected at the discretion ofis not covered under subsection (a), the executive director or judges may nevertheless test any such horse as eligible to race in Indiana for prohibited substances, practices, and procedures specified in subsection (f), unless the owner or trainer or other authorized representative or designee of such horse immediately represents in writing that the horse is not intended to be, and will not be, raced in Indiana for a minimum of three hundred sixty-five (365) days. If the owner, trainer, or other authorized representative or designee so represents, the horse shall be deemed ineligible for racing in Indiana for no less than three hundred sixty-five (365) days from that date. This three hundred sixty-five (365) day ineligibility to race in Indiana shall follow the horse even if sold or transferred to another owner or trainer. An owner or trainer may, however, consent to the collection of a sample from a horse selected for testing under this rule, even if the horse is not presently intended to be raced in Indiana, and if such horse tests negative, it will remain eligible to race in Indiana.
(c) The executive director or judges may order any horse of a licensed trainer to report to a track under the jurisdiction of the commission for out of competition testing. The trainer is responsible to have the horse or horses available at the designated time and location. In the event that a horse is ordered to report to a track pursuant to the authority granted by this subsection, a licensed trainer is entitled to reimbursement by the commission for mileage (at the current rate paid by the state of Indiana as specified in the current Indiana financial management circular) to and from the location where the horse was stabled when the horse was ordered to report to the track. Under no circumstances will a trainer be entitled to reimbursement for mileage in excess of the actual mileage to the track from the place where the horse was stabled when ordered to report and from the track to the place where the horse is first stabled following the testing. The trainer is not entitled to receive reimbursement from the commission for any other expense relating to any order under this subsection to report to a track for out-of-competition testing.
(d) A commission veterinarian,or anya licensed veterinarianor licensedauthorized by the commission, a veterinary technicianauthorized byunder the direct supervision of a commission veterinarian, or a licensed veterinarian authorized by the commission mayat any time,take a urine, blood, or hair sample from a horse forout of competitiontesting as provided for in this section.
(e) Unless sample collection occurs on the grounds of a racetrack or other location within Indiana under the commission's jurisdiction, the commission's representatives (or its designees, in the case of out-of-state collections) must arrive for the taking of blood, urine, or hair samples from an eligible horse as defined in subsections [subsection] (a) or (b), only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and noon, after announcing their presence at the premises where the horse(s) to be tested is (are) located and showing their credentials to collect samples from the horse(s) selected for testing for prohibited substances, practices, and procedures as specified in subsection (f). The commission's representatives or designees will request to meet with the trainer or owner of the selected horse(s). If neither is available, the collection will be deferred until the trainer and/or owner, or their representative or designee, becomes reasonably available, but the collection must occur not later than one (1) hour after the commission's designee arrives at the premises in the case of an eligible horse under subsection (a), and not later than two (2) hours in the case of an eligible horse under subsection (b). If the collection does not occur within the time provided for in this subsection, any horse that would have been subject to testing and eligible to race in Indiana will be deemed to be ineligible for racing in Indiana pursuant to the provisions of subsections (a) and (b). In addition, the owner and/or trainer of the horses may be subject to any other sanctions allowed by Indiana law and regulations, including, but not limited to, a fine, suspension, and/or summary suspension. It is a defense to any action brought against an owner and/or trainer for sanctions or as a result of any declaration a horse is ineligible because the sample collection did not occur within the time provided for by this subsection that good cause existed that prohibited the owner, trainer, and/or their representative or designee from complying with the time limits set forth in this subsection. The owner, trainer, and/or their representative or designee has the burden of proving the good cause defense by a preponderance of the evidence.

The owner of such an Indiana bred or sired horse may render the horse ineligible for the testing as described in this regulation by indicating in writing the Indiana bred or sired horse is not intended to race in Indiana, pursuant to subsection (b) below provided that the owner of such an Indiana bred or sired horse provides such written notice to the office of the commission thirty (30) days before the horse turns two (2) years old or within thirty (30) days after the owner acquires the horse. In this event, the horse shall be deemed ineligible for racing in Indiana as provided for in subsection (b) below.
(b)HorsesIf a horse selected to be testedshall be selected at the discretion ofis not covered under subsection (a), the executive director or stewards may nevertheless test any such horse as eligible to race in Indiana for prohibited substances, practices, and procedures specified in subsection (f), unless the owner or trainer or other authorized representative or designee of such horse immediately represents in writing that the horse is not intended to be, and will not be, raced in Indiana for a minimum of three hundred sixty-five (365) days. If the owner, trainer, or other authorized representative or designee so represents, the horse shall be deemed ineligible for racing in Indiana for no less than three hundred sixty-five (365) days from that date. This three hundred sixty-five (365) day ineligibility to race in Indiana shall follow the horse even if sold or transferred to another owner or trainer. An owner or trainer may, however, consent to the collection of a sample from a horse selected for testing under this rule, even if the horse is not presently intended to be raced in Indiana, and if such horse tests negative, it will remain eligible to race in Indiana.
(c) The executive director or stewards may order any horse of a licensed trainer to report to a track under the jurisdiction of the commission for out of competition testing. The trainer is responsible to have the horse or horses available at the designated time and location. In the event that a horse is ordered to report to a track pursuant to the authority granted by this subsection, a licensed trainer is entitled to reimbursement by the commission for mileage (at the current rate paid by the state of Indiana as specified in the current Indiana financial management circular) to and from the location where the horse was stabled when the horse was ordered to report to the track. Under no circumstances will a trainer be entitled to reimbursement for mileage in excess of the actual mileage to the track from the place where the horse was stabled when ordered to report and from the track to the place where the horse is first stabled following the testing. The trainer is not entitled to receive reimbursement from the commission for any other expense relating to any order under this subsection to report to a track for out-of-competition testing.

(g)(h) The collection of blood,orurine, or hair samples under this rule shall be divided in three (3) parts to be analyzed as follows:(1) approved primary laboratory for screening;(2) approved primary laboratory for confirmation; and(3) approved laboratory for split sample testing as chosen by the owner or trainer.The commission shall approve the laboratories for screening, confirmation, and split sample testing.
