DISTANCE AND LAYING Up.

Section /. There shall be no dis
lance, but no member shall be per-
mitted to lay up 4 horse except in case
of accident. Any member found guilty
by the judges of laying up a heat shall
be promptly ruled out of the race. In
case horse has lost a hopeless
amount of ground by break, he must
be driven from a point where he re-
gains his stride to the wire at least as
fast as the cOntesting horse. If a
horse, by simply breaking and not by
reason of some accident or foul, is, in
the opinion of the judges not more
than 80 yards behind at the finish of
any heat, he may be disqualified from
competing i'll any heats of the same
event.
NOTE-It is understood by this rule
that member is not expected to pun
ish his horse in what is plainly vain
effort to recover lost ground due to Il
break. but its spirit is to prevent, abb
solutely. any laying up of heats.
