Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) Every racing code must make, and maintain in force, rules regulating the conduct of racing by that code.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), any racing rules of a racing code may provide for—
(a) the appointment, functions, and duties of stipendiary stewards and racecourse inspectors; and
(b) the licensing of trainers, jockeys, drivers, and apprentices, and related matters; and
(c) the registration of horses, greyhounds, owners, partnerships, syndicates, and colours; and
(d) the conduct and control of race meetings, including safety requirements; and
(e) prize money and other stakes, programmes, entries, withdrawals, weights, penalties, handicapping, allowances, weighing, starting, and running; and
(f) punishments for breaches of the rules; and
(g) determinations and appeals; and
(h) disqualifications and suspensions; and
(i) any other matters relating to the conduct of races and racing that the racing code thinks fit.
(3) As soon as practicable after the date of commencement of this Act, each racing code must send to the Board a copy of its racing rules that were in force immediately before that date, and those rules must be regarded as having been made for the purposes of subsection (1).
