ing a dead heat is better than one not winning a 

 heat, nor making a dead heat, if neith.er is distanced 

 or both distanced in the same ^ heat. A distanced 

 horse, although having made a heat or won a heat, 

 is beaten by a horse that is not distanced, or dis- 

 tanced in a succeeding heat. 



20. — Betting on Time. — When a race is coming 

 off, and a party bets that a heat will be made in two 

 minutes and thirty seconds (2.30), and they shall 

 make two-thirty (2.30), he would win. If he bets 

 they will beat two minutes and thirty seconds (2.30), 

 and they make exactly two-thirty (2.30), he loses; 

 but if he takes two minutes and thirty seconds (2.30) 

 against the field, and they make exactly two-thirty 

 (2.30), it is a tie or draw bet. All time bets are 

 decided accordingly. 



21. — Horses drawn before the conclusion of a race 

 shall be considered distanced. 



22. — Bets between outside bettors are void on the 

 decease of either party. 



23. — All horses that are ruled out or drawn before 

 the conclusion of a race, shall be considered distanced, 

 in betting and placing, unless the contrary is speci- 

 fied at the time the bet is made. 



24. — In pools and pool-betting, the pool stands 

 good for all the horses that start in the race ; but for 

 those horses that do not start, the money must be 

 returned to the purchaser.
