Section 1305.290  Track Lights

a)         Lights used to illuminate the track at night shall not be turned on or off while a race is in progress, or off while horses are on the track. The state steward shall declare a race off if total darkness occurs during the running of a race.

b)         The stable area must be properly lighted, so that it will be entirely void of darkness in all sections; lights will be turned on at dusk and they shall remain on until one hour after the last race.

c)         Parking areas must be properly lighted, so they will be entirely void of darkness in all sections; lights will be turned on at dusk and they shall remain on until one hour after the last race or until all cars have departed, whichever may first occur.

d)         If for any reason the races scheduled for the night cannot be fulfilled by midnight, the stewards will postpone the remaining race or races.
