Rule 46 – Qualification to Race

A Greyhound shall not run in any Race:

i)  unless it has successfully completed a Trial or Race at a GBGB Licensed Racecourse or a Racecourse recognised by the GBGB at which it has competed as an International Entry, such Trial or Race having taken place within a period of twenty-nine Days prior to the Race in question. A “no trial” or “no race” does not constitute a successfully completed Trial or Race for the purposes of this Rule.

ii)  unless it is either registered or an International Entry for an Open Race

iii)  unless it is qualified under these Rules and the conditions, terms and particulars of the Race.

iv)  if it has been and still is disqualified or declared a Confirmed Offender.

v)  unless it fills the requirements stated in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Rule 24.

vi)  unless it has an identifiable microchip inserted.

The Local Stewards and/or Greyhound Regulatory Board and/or, where appropriate, the Disciplinary Committee shall have power to call for proof that a Greyhound is qualified and in default of such proof being given to their satisfaction they may treat the Greyhound as disqualified and the Greyhound Regulatory Board and/or, where appropriate, the Disciplinary Committee may declare it disqualified.
