not in the box at the time the horses pass the winning post, the Stewards shall 

 order it to be run again on the same day if practicable, if otherwise the race shall 

 be void. 



136. Walking Over. — A walk-over shall in no case be deemed necessary. It 

 shall be sufficient if a horse be weighed out for, mounted, and proceed to the start- 

 ing post, when, if no competitor appear in due time, he shall be the winner. 



Dead Heats. 



137. Every horse running a dead heat for the first place shall be deemed the 

 winner of the race until the dead heat is run off or the owners agree to divide, and, 

 if the owners agree to divide, each horse which divides shall be deemed a winner 

 of the race, and liable to the penalty for the full amount he would have received 

 if he had won. 



138. A dead heat for the first place shall be run ofT on the same day at a time to 

 be appointed by the Stewards, unless the owners agree to divide. The other 

 horses shall be deemed to have been beaten, but they shall be entitled to their 

 places (if any) as if the race had been finally determined the first time. 



If, in running a dead heat off, either horse should be disqualified, it shall be 

 decided by the Stewards whether the disqualification shall extend to the loss of 

 the second place, and, if so, the horse that was originally placed third shall be 

 entitled to the second place. 



139. When a dead heat is run for second place, and an objection is made to 

 the winner of the race, if such objection be declared valid in time for the dead heat 

 to be run off on the day of the race, the Stewards may direct it to be run off 

 accordingly ; otherwise the horses which ran the dead heat shall divide. 



140. If a dead heat be run by two or more horses for second or any lower 

 place in a race, the owners shall divide, subject to the provisions of the last pre- 

 ceding rule. 



141. When owners divide they shall divide equally all the moneys or other 

 prizes which any of them could take if the dead heat were run off. 



142. If the dividing owners cannot agree as to which of them is to have a cup 

 or other prize which cannot be divided, the question shall be determined by lot by 

 the Stevi'ards, who shall decide what sum of money shall be paid by the owner 

 who takes such cup or other indivisible prize, to the other owner or owners. 



143. On a dead heat for a match the match is off. 



Weighing In. 



144. Every rider must, immediately after pulling up, ride his horse to the 

 place of weighing, dismount and present himself to be weighed by the Clerk of 

 the Scales : Provided that, if a rider be prevented from riding to the place of 

 weighing by reason of accident or illness, by which he, or his horse is disabled, he 

 may walk or be carried to the scales. 



145. If a rider do not present himself to be weighed in, or be short of weight, 

 or be guilty of any fraudulent practice with respect to weight or weighing, or dis- 

 mount before reaching the place of weighing, or touch (except accidentally) any 

 person or thing other than his own equipments before weighing in, his horse is 

 disqualified, unless he can satisfy the Stewards that he was justified by extra- 

 ordinary circumstances. 



146. If a horse carry more than four pounds over his declared weight for a 

 steeple chase or hurdle race, or two pounds for a National Hunt fiat race or welter 

 flat race, he is disqualified unless the Stewards be satisfied that such excess of 

 weight has been caused by wet or mud. 



147. If a rider be unable to draw his weight with the one pound allowed for 

 the curb or double bridle, he shall have the option of weighing in with his bridle ; 

 but no weight shall be allowed for a snaffle bridle unless it is put into the scales 

 before the horse is led away. 



Prizes. 



148. The value of prizes not in money must be advertised. 



149. Prizes, stakes, and forfeits in a race belong to the winner, except as other- 

 wise declared in the conditions.
