 won, if the heat is not specified at the time of betting. 



Rule LI. Bets made on particular horses are void, if neither of 

 them be the winner of the race, unless specified to the contrary. 



Blle LII. Horses that forfeit are beaten horses, where it is play or 

 pay, and not otherwise. 



Rlle LIII. All bets, matches, and engagements, are void on the 

 decease of either party before determined, 



RueI; LIV. Horses drawn before the purse is won are distanced. 



Rule LV. A bet made on a horse is void if the horse betted on 

 does not start. 



Rule LVI. When a bet is made on a heat, the horse that comes first 

 to the ending post is best, provided no circumstance shall cause him to 

 be deemed distanced. 



Rule LVII. All bets are understood to relate to the purse or stake, 

 if nothing is said to the contrary. 



Rule LVIII. When a bet is made upon two horses against each 

 other for the purse, if each win a heat, and neither are distanced, they 

 are equal — if neither win a heat, and neither distanced, they are equal.

 best unless he shall be distanced, in which case the other, if he saves his 

 distances shall be considered best. If a horse wins a heat and is dis- 

 tanced, he shall be better than a horse that does not win a heat and is 

 distanced, so, too, if one be distanced the second heat, he shall be better 

 than one distanced the first heat.
