When three horses have each won a heat, they only must start for a fourth, and the preference amongst them will be determined by it, there being before no difference amongst them.
In running of heats, if it cannot be decided which horse is first, the heat goes for nothing, and they may all start again, except it be between two horses that had each won a heat.
If a rider fall from his horse, and the horse be rode in by a person who is sufficient weight, he shall take his place the same as if his rider had not fallen, provided he go back to the place where the rider fell.
Jockeys must ride their horses to the usual place for weighing the riders, and he that dismounts before, or wants weight, is distanced; unless he be disabled by an accident which should render him incapable of riding back, in which case he may be led or carried to the scale.
Horses’ plates or shoes not allowed in the weight.
Horses running on the wrong side of a post, and not turning back, are distanced.
Horses drawn before the plate is won are distanced.
Horses are distanced if their riders cross or jostle.
All complaints of foul riding must be made before or at the time the jockey is weighed.
No distance in a fourth heat.
