146 THE HORSE OWNEr's 



In heats, one, two, three or four miles, a horse not winning 

 one heat in three, shall not start for a fourth, unless such 

 horse shall have made a dead heat. In heats best three in 

 five, a horse not winning a heat in five shall not start for a 

 sixth, unless said horse shall have made a dead heat. But 

 where ten or more horses start in a race, every horse not 

 distanced shall have the right to compete until the race is 

 completed ; subject, however, to all other penalties in these 

 rules. 



Rule 32. Dead Heats. A dead heat shall be counted in 

 the race, and shall be considered a heat which is won by the 

 horses making it, but undecided between them, and it shall 

 be considered a heat that is lost by all the other horses con- 

 tending therein; and the time made in a dead heat shall 

 constitute a record for each horse making such dead heat; 

 and only those horses shall start for the next heat that would 

 have been entitled had the heat been won by either horse 

 making the dead heat. A horse prevented from starting by 

 this rule shall not be distanced, but ruled out. 



Rule 33. Time Between Heats. The time between heats 

 shall be twenty minutes for mile heats; and for mile heats, 

 best 3 in 5, twenty- five minutes; and for two mile heats, 

 thirty minutes; for three mile heats, thirty-five minutes; 

 and should there be a race of four mile heats, the time shall 

 be forty minutes. 



After the first heat the horses shall be called five minutes 

 prior to the time of starting. 



Rule 34. Time Allofned in Case of Accidents. In case of 

 accidents, ten minutes shall be allowed, but the Judges may 

 allow more time when deemed necessary and proper. 



Rule 35. Fra.uduJent Collision and Break Down. In case 

 of collision and breakdown, the part}^ causing the same, 

 whether wilfully or otherwise, shall be distanced; and if the 

 Judges find it was occasioned designedly, and to aid fraud, 

 the driver in fault shall be forthwith suspended or expelled, 

 and his horse shall be distanced ; but if necessary to defeat 

 fraud, the Judges may direct the offending horse to start 

 again.
