Track Officials reserve the right to do the following:

To enforce any rule so listed in this rule book and in the constitution and to interpret these rules for the benefit of safety and furtherance of a good racing program. The Executive may impose additional rules that may be necessary for the promotion of safety and good racing.

To consolidate or modify the schedule of races if conditions warrant doing so.
