SECTION 325:75-1-9. Decision as to eligibility of Oklahoma-Bred

  Questions as to the accreditation, eligibility for accreditation, or breeding of an Oklahoma-Bred horse shall be decided by the official Registering Agency designated by the Commission. The official Registering Agency may demand and inspect any Registration Certificate, records or other acceptable documentation from the official breed registry, stallion owner, breeding farm manager, or Oklahoma breeder, and shall verify that the horse involved complies with the requirements for accreditation, or receipt of a purse supplement, stake, reward or award. When a person has been suspended from participation in the Oklahoma-Bred Program, any other ownership entity in which such person may have ownership interest shall also be ineligible for added purse supplements and any broodmare or stallion awards from the Oklahoma-Bred Program; and any horse owned by such entity shall be ineligible for accreditation, or participation in the Oklahoma-Bred Program for the same period of time as designated in such person's suspension. A decision of the official Registering Agency shall be subject to review by the Commission, which retains the right to make the final decision as to any right or liability under this Chapter.
