APPENDIX 757 



9. Bets made after a race that the winner will be disqualified, stand, even if 

 no objection be made. 



10. Any bet made from signal or indication when the race has been determined, 

 shall be considered fraudulent and void. 



11. All bets on matches and private sweepstakes depending between any two 

 horses shall be void if those horses subsequently become the property of the same 

 person, or of his avowed confederate. 



12. Double event bets are determined when the first event is lost. 



13. Bets made on horses winning any number of races within the year shall 

 be understood to mean between the ist of January and the 31st of December. 



14. Money given to have a bet laid shall not be returned, though the race be 

 not run. 



15. In the event of a race being ordered to be run over again, starting price 

 bets shall be regulated by the price current at the time the race was first run. 

 Bets in favour of any horse which started on the first but did not go to the post 

 on the second occasion are lost. 



16. Confirmed bets cannot be declared off except by mutual consent, but on 

 any allegation of fraud or corrupt practice, the Committee will investigate the 

 case and may declare the bet void. Either of the bettors may demand stakes to 

 be made on proving to the satisfaction of the Committee that he has just cause 

 for doing so. If ordered, the bets must be covered or sufficient security offered, 

 and a person refusing to cover shall be expelled the Subscription Room at 

 Newmarket and at Tattersall's. 



17. The Committee will not necessarily enforce the settlement of a compromised 

 account. Before giving a deci?ion they may require the books of the debtor and 

 a statement of his accounts to be submitted to them ; but they have authority, in 

 all such cases, to order the account to be settled if they think a reasonable offer is 

 made. 



18. If a debtor does not satisfy the claims of his creditors within twelve months 

 he shall not be entitled to receive any debts which may be due to him ; but if he 

 does so within the prescribed time, viz., " one year," i.e., 365 days, inclusive of the 

 day when the money was won, the Committee will support his just claims to 

 receive payment from his debtors. 



19. If any extraordinary occasion should arise, or in cases of notorious and 

 palpable fraud, any of the before-mentioned rules may be suspended by the 

 Committee. 



20. The Stewards of races have no authority ex officio to take cognisance of 

 any disputes or claims with respect to bets.
