Rule 3769-16-04 | Persons eligible to claim.

(B) An eligibility to claim license may be issued by the Ohio state racing commission subject to rules 3769-2-18, 3769-2-26, and 3769-2-30 of the Administrative Code to any applicant who provides a completed fingerprint card, the name of a licensed trainer who will assume the responsibility for the care of the horse claimed, and the requisite fee.
