Prohibited Practices & Disqualification of persons
Any person who has been declared a British Horseracing Authority disqualified person shall be prevented from taking part in PRA events.
A person disqualified under the PRA Regulations may not necessarily become a British Horseracing Authority disqualified person.
Any person who administers or attempts to administer or allows or causes to be administered or connives at the administration to a Pony of a Prohibited Substance (in
accordance with British Horseracing Authority Rule (A) (27)) with intention to affect the racing performance of that Pony in a race or with knowledge that its racing
performance in a race could be affected shall be guilty of a breach of these Regulations and may be declared a PRA disqualified person.
Any person may be declared a disqualified person or otherwise penalised who:
(i) Gives, offers, or promises directly or indirectly any bribe in any form to any person having official duties in relation to a race or pony, or to any owner, parent /
legal guardian, Rider, representative, or other person having charge of, or access to, any pony; or
(ii) Wilfully enters or causes to be entered for any race or causes to start in any race a Pony which they know or believe to be not qualified;
(iii) Is convicted of any criminal offence in relation to racing in this or any other country; or
(iv) Does not pay any sums due under these Regulations or under conditions of races run under them;
(v) Knowingly runs a Pony under a secondary identity that has raced previously not under Pony Racing Regulations.
And any such act shall constitute a breach of these Regulations.
(vi) In the opinion of The PRA Board contravenes Regulation 81(iv)(4)
Any person who owns, trains or rides a Pony in any Pony Race not authorised by the PRA or any person who acts in any official capacity in connection with such an
unauthorised meeting will be declared a PRA disqualified person for a period of twelve months.
A British Horseracing Authority or PRA disqualified person, so long as their disqualification continues, shall not enter, run, train, own or ride a Pony in any PRA event
held under these Regulations. If any entry made by a person disqualified be mistakenly or inadvertently accepted, the same shall, despite such acceptance, be void and the
pony shall not be qualified to be Entered or to start.
