11VAC10-110-160: Also-eligible list

If the number of entries for a race exceeds the number of horses permitted to start in any race, then the racing secretary may place as many as eight horses on an "also-eligible list." The racing secretary shall develop procedures through which the horses on the also-eligible list may be drawn into the race should a horse be scratched. The procedures developed by the racing secretary for the also-eligible list must be submitted to the stewards for their approval at least 15 days before the beginning of the race meeting.
