Section 270.685  Track Usage

The use of the tracks is not a guaranteed condition of the Backstretch Barn and Stall Rental Agreement or any other contract. The Department reserves the right to close the track at certain times throughout the year.  The Department will make every effort to keep all facilities in usable condition. Only horses in the backstretch area will be permitted to use the mile track or the cinder half mile track. Riding or leading horses on streets, except in route to a practice area, is prohibited. Only authorized vehicles shall be permitted on the track. Vehicles operated by non-Department personnel must obtain permission from the Department, or a duly authorized Department representative, to operate a vehicle on the track. Unauthorized vehicles on the track will be cause for cancellation of a contract or lease.
