If ODDS are laid, without mentioning the horse before it is over, it must be determined as the bets were at the time of making it.
Bets made in running, are not determined till the PLATE is WON, if that heat is not mentioned at the time of betting.
Where a PLATE is won by two heats, the preference of the horses is determined by the places they are in at the termination of the second heat.
Horses running on the wrong side of a POST, and not turning back to completely recover their ground, are distanced.
Horses drawn between any of the heats, before the plate is WON, are distanced.
Horses are deemed distanced, if their RIDERS cross and jostle, when the ARTICLES do not permit it.
If a horse WINS the first heat, and all others draw, they are not distanced, if he starts no more; but if he starts again by himself, the drawn horses are distanced.
When BETS are made after a heat upon a subsequent event, if the horse so betted upon does not start, the BETS so made are void.
When three horses have EACH won a HEAT, they only must start for a fourth, and the preference between them will be determined by it, there having before been no difference between them.
No horse can be distanced in a fourth heat.
