3. — Winner Disqualified. — Bets go to Second Horse. 



A takes 50 gs. to 10 gs. of B that his horse wins 

 a sweepstakes. His horse is second in running, 

 but proving the horse that beat him was not 

 quahfied, he received the sweepstakes from the 

 person whose horse came in first. Query : Is A 

 entitled to win his bet ? 



Answer: *'The stewards of the Jockey Club 

 are of opinion that the horse which came in 

 second, and to whom the sweepstakes was given 

 up, on proof that the first horse was disqualified, 

 must be deemed the winner, and consequently B 

 looses 50 gs.

4. — Horse, if Disqualified, Bet Off. 



A bets B 50 gs. to 20 gs. that C and D do not 

 both win. C wins, but D was disqualified from 

 starting, as it was a maiden plate, and he had 

 previously won. Query : Does A win the 20 gs., 

 or is B entitled to a part of the 50 gs. ? 



Answer: *'If D was qualified at the time the 

 bet was made A wins, but if D was disqualified at 

 the time then the bet is off.
