first sale shall be resjionsible for any deficiency arising from 

 the second sale, and shall be declared a defaulter untU it is 

 paid. 



All other horses running to be sold may be claimed for the 

 selling price and the amount of the stakes or plate by the 

 owners of horses running in the race. 



In no selling race shall the lowest selling price be less than 

 50 sov. 



Owners of horses placed shall have priority in the order of 

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

 equal rights claim, they are to draw lots. The owner of the 

 winner has the last claim. 



No person can claim more than one horse. 



Every claim must be made to the clerk of the scales within 

 a quarter of an hour after the race. 



The price of every horse claimed or sold, or bought in, must 

 be paid to the clerk of the course, and an order given by him 

 for the 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. If none of the other 

 persons entitled accept the horse, the owner may insist on the 

 first claimant taking and paying for it, and if he refuse or 

 neglect to do so, he shall bo declared a defaulter in respect of 

 the price. If a horse walk over for a selling race he shall 

 not be liable to be sold unless the added money be given.

 of returning him or retaining him at the price of a beaten 

 horse. 



(ii.) If the objection be made before the horse has been 

 claimed or bought, the time for delivering him is thereby 

 postponed until such time after the determination of the 

 objection as the Stewards appoint, and if the objection be 

 declared valid, the person who has claimed or bought him 

 shall have the same option as in the last-mentioned case. 



42. If a dead heat be declared for the first or any other 

 place in a race, the time for claiming or selling the horses 

 running the dead heat is thereby postponed until the dead
