The permittee shall cash all valid winning tickets when such are presented for payment during the course of the meeting where sold, and for a one-year period after the last day of the meeting. Each pari-mutuel ticket purchaser agrees to abide by the terms and provisions of these rules, other applicable rules of the Arizona Racing Commission, and by the laws of the state of Arizona.
