QuestionsQuestions (PHILRACOM Resolution NO. 03-09)
The resolution is adopted by the Philippine Racing Commission (Philracom) to promote and maintain efficient and unbiased operation of racing and to raise public confidence in the sport by governing the handicapping system for races of 2-year-old horses.
All 2YO horses must run once in a 2YO maiden race or a 2YO maiden sweepstakes race.
Winners and placers are classified in the winners/placers group; non-placers are classified in the non-placers group.
The winner of the winners/placers group is elevated to 2YO condition race A; the winner of the non-placers group is also elevated to 2YO condition race A.
Yes. Placers and non-placers remain in the non-placers group (i.e., they do not automatically move up just because the winners are elevated).
Winners of 2YO condition race A are elevated to 2YO condition race B; placers are classified in 2YO condition A placers group and non-placers in 2YO condition A non-placers group. Then, winners of the 2YO condition A placers group and 2YO condition A non-placers group are elevated to 2YO condition race B.
Non-placers of the 2YO condition A placers group move to the 2YO condition A non-placers group.
If a 2YO condition race has no quorum, it shall be merged with the 2YO condition race placers group.
No. The resolution states that “Vacation of horses will not apply in the condition races.”
Fillies carry 52 kgs handicap weight, while colts carry 54 kgs handicap weight.
There shall be only 1 win for all 2YO condition races.
Winners immediately go to the next higher group condition.
It is an additional price of Php20,000 to the winner only of all 2YO condition races.
The winners of the winners/placers group and the non-placers group have an option to participate in class division 4-4A.
Yes. Winners are elevated to the next higher group (e.g., to 2YO condition A or B), while placers are placed into specific placer groups (e.g., 2YO condition A placers group), and non-placers into non-placers groups, affecting their later eligibility.
The resolution requires that a signed true copy be published in the Kopya and the UP Law Center, ensuring notice and compliance with administrative issuance procedures.
