inside limits of the course, when not forced to do so as a result of the actions of
another driver and/or horse, shall be in violation of this rule. In addition, when an
act of interference causes a horse, or part of the horse’s sulky, to cross inside the
pylons and the horse is placed by the Judges, the offending horse shall be placed
behind the horse with which it interfered.
(a) In races conducted at extended pari-mutuel meetings, for purposes of placing
the following shall apply:;
1. If a horse while on stride, or part of the horse’s sulky, goes inside two
(2) consecutive pylons, the offending horse shall be placed behind all
horses that are lapped on to the offending horse at the wire;
2. If a horse while on stride, or any part of the horse’s sulky, goes inside
three (3) or more consecutive pylons, the offending horse shall be
placed last;
3. If in the opinion of the Judges a horse while on stride, or part of the
horse’s sulky, goes inside a pylon(s) and that action gave the horse an
unfair advantage over other horses in the race or the action helped
improve its position in the race, the horse may be placed at the discretion
of the Judges.
