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 has been declared a Disqualified person under PRA Regulations will not be permitted to automatically re-enter PRA Pony Racing in any registered or licensed capacity. The PRA Board will consider and deal at its sole discretion with any application for any registration or license required under PRA Regulation from a Disqualified person, after their period of disqualification. No person shall be permitted to associate in connection with PRA Pony racing with any person who has been declared a disqualified person by the PRA without prior written permission of the PRA Board. Any person who does associate in connection with PRA Pony Racing with a disqualified person will have committed an offence under these Regulations.
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 84(iv)(4)
(vii) Provides false, inaccurate or misleading information to the PRA or Organiser
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 attend, enter, run, train, own or ride a Pony in any PRA event held under these Regulations or a Pony Club race Day. 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.
