Horse Racing Ireland Directives

The Directors of Horse Racing Ireland have approved the following modifications to HRI Directive 10, 15, 16 and 17 to come into effect on or after 1st July 2023.

HRI DIRECTIVE 10

Elimination and Balloting out of Horses:

Where the number of horses declared exceeds the number permitted to run in the race, HRI shall reduce the number of declared runners to the recommended limit by ballot or elimination in accordance with the criteria laid out in HRI Directive 10:

In all normal closing races only performances up to the closing of entries will be taken into account when determining protection from balloting/elimination. In early closing races performances up to the final forfeit stage will be taken into account when determining balloting/elimination. Balloting or elimination at the overnight declaration stage will take place among those horses which are liable for ballot/elimination. Horses with the lowest ballot/elimination numbers will be the first to get into a race.

3. In Flat Handicaps

3.1

With a designated rating band of 65 or less

By elimination first of those horses with an official flat rating below 40, the highest rating affording the greatest protection.

Protection from balloting/elimination will then operate in the following order (only performances up to the time of entry will be taken into account):

a. Horses placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd on their last completed run in a Flat race run in Ireland, on or subsequent to 1st

January of the year previous to the current year. If it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will be random.

b. Horses previously balloted/eliminated from a Flat Handicap run in Ireland, on or subsequent to 180 days prior to the date of the preliminary ballot with a designated rating band of 65 or less and within the same distance category (indicated below) of the race to be balloted. The latest ballot/elimination date at the time of the preliminary ballot stage affording the greatest protection.

In all of the above, if it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will in the first place afford the greatest protection to those horses which have not run in a Flat race in Ireland since 1st June 2020 for the greatest number of days at the closing of entries and thereafter will be random.

The relevant distance categories are as follows:

➢ Sprint (5 furlongs to less than 7 furlongs).

➢ Mile (7 furlongs to 9 furlongs).

➢ Intermediate (9 furlongs 1yds to 12 furlongs).

➢ Long (12 furlongs 1yds or more).

Note: Horse Racing Ireland give notice that the distance of the race at close of entries will be the distance used when applying the above balloting criteria to these type of races. Any alteration to a race distance after this time WILL NOT be taken into account if the race is balloted at the declaration stage. (Example: a race advertised at 7 furlongs at close of entries is subsequently altered to 6 furlongs and 200 yards before close of declarations – horses balloted from this race will be treated as having been balloted from a 7 furlongs race for future ballots).

Note: For the purposes of Section (3.1) above ‘pulled up’ will be considered a completed run.

Notwithstanding the above and in the interest of permitting as many horses as possible a reasonable opportunity to run in flat handicaps with a maximum rating band of 65 or less, horses will lose their provisional ballot status which:

➢ are declared to run but not a reserve in any flat race scheduled to be run in Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

➢ since the time of entry for such a race, have run in a flat race in Ireland without being placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd

➢ since the time of entry for such race, have run more than once in a flat race in Ireland or have run once and are declared to run but not a reserve in any flat race scheduled to be run in

Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

In any of these circumstances, such re-ballot will afford the greatest protection to those horses with the greatest number of days since their last run in a flat race in Ireland at the closing of declarations and, when such protection is equal, horses with the highest rating will be afforded the greatest protection.

4. In National Hunt Handicaps 4.1 I In Handicap Steeplechases with designated rating bands of 102 or less

In the case of Steeplechases, by elimination first of the lowest weighted horses which are out of the handicap at time of entry but before any penalties have been applied. If it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will be random.

Protection from balloting/elimination will then operate in the following order (only performances up to the time of entry will be taken into account):

➢ Horses placed 1st, 2ndor 3rd on their last run in a Steeplechase run in Ireland, on or subsequent to 1st January of the year previous to the current year.

➢ Horses previously balloted/eliminated from a Handicap Steeplechase run in Ireland with a designated rating band of 102 or less and within the same distance category (indicated below) of the race to be balloted on or subsequent to 180 days prior to the date of the preliminary ballot, the latest ballot/elimination date at the time of the preliminary ballot stage affording greatest protection.

In all of the above, if it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will in the first place afford the greatest protection to those horses which have not run in a Steeplechase in Ireland since 22nd June 2020 for the greatest number of days at the closing of entries and thereafter will be random.

The relevant distance categories are as follows:

➢ 2 Miles (or such a lesser distance which for course layout reasons as may be approved by the IHRB on exceptional occasions) to less than 2 miles and 4 furlongs.

➢ 2 Miles and 4 furlongs or more.

Note: Horse Racing Ireland give notice that the distance of the race at close of entries will be the distance used when applying the above balloting criteria to these type of races. Any alteration to a race distance after this time WILL NOT be taken into account if the

race is balloted at the declaration stage. (Example: a race advertised at 2 miles 4 furlongs at close of entries is subsequently altered to 2 miles 3 furlongs and 200 yards before close of declarations –horses balloted from this race will be treated as having been balloted from a 2 miles 4 furlongs race for future ballots).

Notwithstanding the above and in the interest of permitting as many horses as possible a reasonable opportunity to run in steeplechase handicaps with a maximum rating band of 102 or less, horses will lose their provisional ballot status which:

➢ are declared to run but not a reserve in any steeplechase scheduled to be run in Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

➢ since the time of entry for such a race, have run in a steeplechase in Ireland without being placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd

➢ since the time of entry for such race, have run more than once in a steeplechase in Ireland or have run once and are declared to run but not a reserve in any steeplechase scheduled to be run in Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

In any of these circumstances, such re-ballot will afford the greatest protection to those horses with the greatest number of days since their last run in a steeplechase in Ireland at the closing of declarations and, when such protection is equal, horses with the highest rating will be afforded the greatest protection.

4.2 I In Handicap Hurdles with designated rating bands of 95 or less

By elimination first of the lowest weighted horses which are out of the handicap at time of entry but before any penalties have been applied. If it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will be random. If it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will in the first place afford the greatest protection to those horses which have not run in a Hurdle race in Ireland for the greatest number of days at the closing of entries and thereafter will be random. Protection from balloting/elimination will then operate in the following order (only performances up to the time of entry will be taken into account):

a. Horses placed 1st, 2ndor 3rd on their last run in a Hurdle race run in Ireland, on or subsequent to 1st January of the year previous to the current year.

b. Horses previously balloted/eliminated from a

Handicap Hurdle race run in Ireland with a designated rating band of 95 or less and within the same distance category (indicated below) of the race to be balloted, on or subsequent to 180 days prior to the date of the preliminary ballot, the latest ballot/elimination date at the time of the preliminary ballot stage affording greatest protection.

The relevant distance categories are as follows:

➢ 2 Miles (or such a lesser distance which for course layout reasons as may be approved by the IHRB on exceptional occasions) to less than 2 miles and 4 furlongs.

➢ 2 Miles and 4 furlongs or more.

Note: Horse Racing Ireland give notice that the distance of the race at close of entries will be the distance used when applying the above balloting criteria to these type of races. Any alteration to a race distance after this time WILL NOT be taken into account if the race is balloted at the declaration stage. (Example: a race advertised at 2 miles 4 furlongs at close of entries is subsequently altered to 2 miles 3 furlongs and 200 yards before close of declarations –horses balloted from this race will be treated as having been balloted from a 2 miles 4 furlongs race for future ballots).

In all of the above, if it is necessary to ballot among horses of equal protection, such ballot will in the first place afford the greatest protection to those horses which have not run in a Hurdle race in Ireland since 22nd June 2020 for the greatest number of days at the closing of entries and thereafter will be random.

Notwithstanding the above and in the interest of permitting as many horses as possible a reasonable opportunity to run in hurdle handicaps with a maximum rating band of 95 or less, horses will lose their provisional ballot status which:

➢ are declared to run but not a reserve in any hurdle race scheduled to be run in Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

➢ since the time of entry for such race, have run in a hurdle race in Ireland without being placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd

➢ since the time of entry for such race, have run more than once in a hurdle race in Ireland or have run once and are declared to run but not a reserve in any hurdle race scheduled to be run in Ireland up to and including the day after that fixed for the closing of declarations.

In any of these circumstances, such re-ballot will afford the greatest protection to those horses with the

greatest number of days since their last run in a hurdle race in Ireland at the closing of declarations and, when such protection is equal, horses with the highest rating will be afforded the greatest protection.

HRI DIRECTIVE 15

Racehorse Ownership Registration:

The conditions of owner registration and the maintenance thereafter are outlined in Directive 15:

1. HRI Owner Register

a. HRI maintains a register of racehorse owners for the administration of horse racing in Ireland. This owner registration is not legal confirmation of ownership.

b. HRI has complete discretion on the approval of an owner registration application. An applicant(s) whose conduct, behaviour or character is not in accordance with that which, in the opinion of HRI, should be expected of a registered person, may not be considered suitable and therefore may be refused registration. Owner applicants must read the HRI Racehorse Owner Eligibility and Right to Appeal Policy in conjunction with the Owner Registration documents to ensure they fully understand and comply with the criteria which may influence owner application.

c. At any stage during the lifetime of an owner registration, HRI may void or suspend the owner registration(s). It is not possible to outline all circumstances where this may occur, however such instances include (but are not limited to) the discovery of false or misleading records being submitted to HRI, financial anomalies with the HRI owner’s account or the failure to implement the agreed Code of Conduct for a syndicate or club. Additionally, should a registered owner be added to the Forfeit/Disqualified List, this registration will automatically be made void. All existing registered owners should refer to the HRI Racehorse Owner Eligibility and Right to Appeal Policy during the lifetime of their registration to ensure they remain compliant with the criteria which may influence on-going owner registration.

d. Should the owner subsequently be removed from the Forfeit/Disqualified List, the owner must submit the appropriate owner application forms and fees to re-register.

e. All active owners, whose names are recorded on the Owner Register on or before 1st January 1980, automatically remain registered with HRI.

f. All registered owners with HRI shall remain on the register of owners for a period of seven years after their HRI client account has been closed whereupon the personal details shall

be purged. Should an individual wish to take out ownership with HRI after this seven-year period, they will be required to submit the relevant HRI registration forms, supporting documentation and relevant fees to re-register. If an individual wishes to re-activate their HRI ownership account within this seven-year period, they will be subject to the client reactivation process which may include personal verification to re-activate the client account.

g. Until an owner is registered by HRI, a horse cannot be returned in training.

h. All those registered with HRI, including members of syndicates and clubs, are bound by the HRI Directives and Rules Of Racing and the I.N.H.S Rules of the IHRB.

i. In the event of the death of an Owner, any entries or liabilities will be transferred to his or her executors/personal representative. Such entries and liabilities will not be made void.

j. The executors/personal representative of a deceased Owner (who have been registered with HRI) can run a horse under the description ‘Executor(s) of the late….’. The executor(s) or personal representative are not required to be registered Owners unless otherwise determined by HRI.

k. Horses the property of the Irish National Stud Co. Ltd. may be raced under these Directives in the name of the President of Ireland, who shall be deemed to be the lessee of such horses

HRI DIRECTIVE 16

Horse Registration and Clearance:

The conditions of horse names registration and the maintenance thereafter are outlined in Directive 16:

1. HRI Horse Names Register

a. In order for a horse to be eligible to race under the Rules of Racing or in Point-to-Points in Ireland, they must be first registered with a unique name. All horse name applications of Irish trained horses are administered by HRI, while name choice approval is governed by Weatherbys and the BHA for inclusion in the Weatherbys General Studbook and must comply with the General Studbook naming rules.

b. HRI maintains a register of racehorse names for the administration of horse racing in Ireland and reserves the right to request any supporting documentation as required by HRI or Weatherbys/BHA during the naming application or thereafter.

c. All racehorse naming applications should be submitted to HRI on the HRI Naming Application form along

with the horse’s passport, markings updates (where applicable) and the relevant registration fee. Please note it is a requirement to submit up-todate markings for animals foaled outside Ireland and Great Britain.

d. On application for registration of horse name, the markings on the Passports must be verified by a licensed Irish Trainer or a Veterinary Surgeon as correct by signing the declaration on the naming form. Before signing this declaration, the markings in the passport must be checked against the animal within a recent period from the date of application (no more than three months). Where there is a doubt on the markings or where any discrepancies have been found, new markings must be taken by a Veterinary Surgeon on a Weatherbys Markings Chart.

e. Where a horse is bred outside of Ireland or Great Britain, markings must be submitted (i.e. markings must be taken by a Veterinary Surgeon on a Weatherbys Markings Chart).

f. Markings cannot be signed by a Veterinary Surgeon who is either the Owner or the Trainer of the horse, nor a person for whom the Trainer of the horse holds a current Racing Establishment Employee Card.

g. Where a horse is already named with Weatherbys GSB and may have been imported to Ireland to race here under an Irish licensed trainer, an application to register the name in Ireland must be submitted to HRI on a HRI naming application form, with any supporting documentation as required along with the appropriate fee.

h. Naming Applications which comply with the HRI Directives and the relevant IHRB Rules and are received in HRI up to and including the Thursday of any week will be processed and the name registered on the following Monday.

i. HRI reserves the right to accept or reject a naming application if the client applying for the name has insufficient funds in their HRI client account or if the client appears on the Forfeit/Disqualified list.

j. A Change of Name application may only be considered where the horse has not already raced under the original name under the Rules of Racing or in Point-to-Points.

2. Racing Clearance Notification

The conditions required for HRI to issue a horse racing clearance notification for an Irish trained horse to another Racing Authority are outlined below:

a. When an Irish trained horse is to travel abroad for the purposes of running in a race, before returning to Ireland, the licensed Trainer must submit a written request to HRI to

issue a Racing Clearance Notification (RCN) to the recognised Racing Authority staging the race no later than the day prior to the deadline for declaration (with the exception where the recognised Racing Authority considers all movements regardless of purpose or time frame as permanent).

b. Racing Clearance Notifications will only be issued to those Racing Authorities that are signatories to Article 3 A (Racing) of the International Agreement on Breeding, Racing and Wagering.

c. The RCN will attest that:

➢ The horse is free or not free, from any restrictions/suspensions which prevent it from racing

➢ The Trainer is licensed (and not suspended)

➢ The Owner(s) is registered and does not appear on the Forfeit/Disqualified List. Please note the RCN will not attest to the horse’s vaccination history being in order, this remains the Trainer’s responsibility.

3. Horses Retired from Racing – NonRacing Declaration

On exiting the racing pool, it is the responsibility of the trainer when returning the horse out of training to record the “Out of training” status as “Retired from Racing” and notify HRI via the RÁS online system of the next keeper of the horse (name and contact details).

A Trainer can permanently retire a horse from racing via the “Out of Training” returns as “Retired from Racing” and notify HRI via the online RÁS system of the next keeper of the horse (name and contact details). On receipt of the notification, HRI will notify the current Owner via email, the Owner may refute the return within 14 days of notification.

The Owner of the horse may also notify HRI as to the status of the horse being “Retired from Racing”. Notification must be submitted to the HRI Welfare Department on the appropriate HRI form along with any supporting documentation that may be required. The horse will have to be returned out of training before it can be retired from racing by the Owner.

Any horse flagged as retired from racing will not be permitted to be “returned in training” or entered for any race nor can these horses hold an active Hunter Certificate under the I.N.H.S. Regulation for Point-to-Point Steeplechases.

A horse which has been permanently retired is one which has been considered by its Trainer and/or Owner to be unsuitable for further racing. A reversal of this status will require a compelling case arbitrated by a panel

comprising HRI’s Director of Racing, HRI’s Director of Equine Welfare and Bloodstock and IHRB’s Chief Veterinary Officer. An Owner should submit their case with a recent veterinary certificate confirming the horse’s suitability to race to HRI’s Equine Welfare Administrator. The veterinary examination required must be to the standard of the 5 stage Pre-Purchase Examination with compulsory blood sampling at the time of examination.

On review of each individual case the horse may be subject to further blood tests, anti-doping protocols and/or imaging examinations as deemed appropriate. All associated costs will be at the Owner’s expense and paid in advance.

In the case where a dispute may arise, HRI will follow the Disputes process as outlined in HRI Directive 13.

The British Horseracing Authority has modified the Declaration of Jockey section of the Race Entries Code and the Division of Races section of the Race Administration Code of the Rules of Racing for the purposes of this race.

PLEASE NOTE: The winners of the following "Race to the Ebor" races will be guaranteed a starting place in the 2023 Sky Bet Ebor (Class 2) (Heritage Handicap) and will not be subject to elimination, provided it is entered and declared in the normal way.

For the avoidance of doubt, such payments will only be made to any such reserve which would reasonably be expected to travel on the day prior to the race and, thus, for which it would be necessary to begin the journey to the course before the deadline for a reserve to replace a nonrunner has passed, i.e., 1.00 p.m. on Friday, September 8th.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Gabriella's Spirit, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed sixth, Running Cool GB), ridden by W.M. Lordan, placed first, and Not Too Real Bad, ridden by Siobhan Rutledge, placed fourth, where it appeared that both Gabriella's Spirit and Not Too Real Bad met with interference.

Siobhan Rutledge stated that she was riding for a gap that appeared, but it closed when the horse on her inner drifted left for a stride. W.M. Lordan stated that his mount can be a difficult ride and shifted left when he applied his whip which he felt he corrected immediately.

He further added that he felt the incident had no bearing on the result and that he won with plenty in hand. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Rosscarbery had caused interference to Azazat, she did not improve her finishing position as a result of the interference so they made no alteration to the Judge's placings.

McMonagle stated he was outside Miss Black Jack at the time of the incident but felt he did not contribute to the incident. Adam Caffrey stated that he was shuffled back as a result of the incident but felt it was accidental in nature. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that the incident was solely caused by the actions of Miss Black Jack and could not apportion blame on any single rider and therefore took no further action.
