Rule 2. (1) Eligibility of horses for breeders' awards and state supplements is
established upon compliance with the following:
(a) Commencing in 1982, a mare shall be registered with the fairs and racing
division by December 1 in the year in which the mare is bred, on forms provided by
the director. Commencing in 1983 and thereafter, a mare previously registered with
the fairs and racing division shall be registered only once per ownership, whenever
the ownership is transferred with the appaloosa horse club.
(b) Commencing in 1982, a stallion shall be registered with the director on forms
provided by the fairs and racing division by December 1 of each breeding year.
(c) A certificate of eligibility shall be issued by the director for a Michigan-bred
horse. This certificate shall accompany the appaloosa horse club registration certificate
at the time of entry in a race.
(2) The appaloosa horse club shall be considered the official record in determining the
eligibility of a Michigan-bred horse foaled before 1979.
History: 1979 AC; 1982 AACS.
R 285.819.3 Eligibility of races for state supplements.

(2) State supplements shall be paid first for races specified under subdivisions (b) to
(e) of subrule (1). If funds are not available to provide state supplements for all races
approved by the director under subdivision (a) of subrule (1), then the director shall
prorate available money at his discretion among the races so run.
(3) Not less than 2 races of Michigan-bred horses shall be scheduled on each full
Appaloosa horse program, with not less than 1 race scheduled for Michigan-bred horses
on any split program.

not offer a smaller track purse, excluding the state supplement, for a race of
Michigan-bred horses than it offers for a race of non-Michigan-bred horses which, in the
judgment of the director, is a comparable race.
