(xii.) The person appointed to start the horses shall mark in 

 his list the time when the horses in each race actually started ; 

 and if there have been any false starts, the first of them shall 

 be considered as the time of starting for that race, and he '

 of the day the races are run. And if any delay shall have 

 taken place, he shall state by whom, or by what cause, the 

 delay was occasioned.

 when he crossed. 



(ii.) If a horse or his jockey jostle another horse, or the 

 jockey of another horse, the jockey which jostles the other is 

 disqualified, unless it be proved that the jostle was wholly 

 caused by the fault of some other jockey, or that the other 

 horse or his jockey was partly in fault. 



(iii.) If a horse run the wrong side of a post he must turn 

 back and run the course from the post at which he left it. 



33. If a race has been run by all the horses at wrong

 ride his horse to the place of weighing, and there immediately

 weighing by reason of accident or illness, by which he or his 

 horse is disabled, he may walk or be carried to the scales. 



(ii.) If a jockey do not weight in, or be short of weight, or 

 be guilty of any fraudulent practice with respect to weight or 

 weighing, or dismount before reaching the scales, or touch 

 (except accidentally) any person or thing other than his own 

 ec[uipments before weighing in, his horse is disqualified, un- 

 less he can satisfy the Stewards that he was justified by extra- 

 ordinary circumstances.
