APPENDIX 741 



an hour, he may order the horse to be put up a second time, and the purchaser 

 at the first sale shall be responsible for any deficiency arising from the second, and 

 shall be treated as a defaulter until it is paid. 



57. (i) All other horses starting "to be sold" may be claimed for the entered 

 selling price, plus the value of the stakes or plate by owners of horses running in 

 the race. 



(ii) Owners of horses placed, other than the winner, have priority of claim in 

 order of their places, and if the owners of two or more horses having equal rights, 

 claim, they must draw lots ; the owner of the winner has the last claim. 



(iii) No person can claim more than one horse. 



(iv) Every claim must be made in writing to the Clerk of the Scales within a 

 quarter of an hour after the winner has weighed in, but subject to the rules in 

 cases of objection. 



58. The price of every horse claimed must be paid to the Clerk of the Course, 

 and a written order given by him for delivery of the horse. 



In the case of a horse being claimed, if the price be not paid before seven 

 o'clock in the evening of the day of the race, the claimant forfeits his right. But 

 the owner may insist on the claimant taking and paying for the horse, and if he 

 refuse or neglect to do so, he shall be treated as a defaulter in respect of the price. 



59. In selling races where a horse walks over, or there is no second horse 

 placed, the winner is liable to be sold, and any surplus above the entered selling 

 price will go to the fund ; but where a horse walks over and the whole of the added 

 money is not given, he shall not be liable to be sold or to be penalised for such 

 walk-over in cases where selling race winners are exempted from penalties. 



60. In cases where there are not the required number of starters, and the 

 added money is reduced according to the conditions, the race ceases to be a selling 

 race, the winner is exempt from sale, and the remaining horses cannot be claimed. 



61. In the cases hereafter mentioned, the following provisions as to claiming 

 and selling shall apply 



(i) Where a horse is objected to 



(a) If such objection is made before the horse has been sold or delivered, 

 the time for selling or delivering him shall be postponed until such time 

 after the determination of the objection as the Stewards appoint. 



(<5) Where the objection is made and sustained after the horse has been 

 sold or bought in, the sale or buying in, and any claim in respect of the 

 horse placed second, shall be annulled, and all moneys paid thereunder 

 returned. The horse disqualified shall be liable to be claimed as a beaten 

 horse, and the Stewards shall fix a time for the exercise of such right of 

 claiming, and a time and place for the sale of the horse adjudged to be 

 the winner. 



Should the Stewards find the above provisions impracticable, they shall make 

 a report to the Registry Office. 



(ii) In the case of a dead heat, the time for claiming or selling is postponed 

 until the dead heat is run off. In case of a division, each of the horses dividing is 

 a winner for the purposes of the Rules relating to claiming and selling, and if an 

 auction race, both shall be put up to auction, and any surplus shall be divided, 

 half to go between those horses and half to the Race Fund.
