39: Availability and status of racing rules

You could also call this:

“Racing rules must be shared and are like a contract for everyone in racing”

When racing codes make new rules or change existing ones, they need to send a copy to the Minister as soon as they can. This helps keep the Minister informed about any changes.

You can find the racing rules on the internet. Each racing code has to put their rules on a website that they run or that someone runs for them. This makes it easy for people to see the rules.

The racing rules are like a contract. This means they create agreements between the people involved in racing, such as racers, trainers, and officials.
