BREAKING RULE
A stricter supervision appears to be required over horses breaking in a race. They not only upset their oto gait but are apt to send others off their balance.
The rule reads:—"When any horse breaks from his gait, the horseman shall immediately pull him to the gait at which he was to go the race, and if any horseman shall fail to comply with this requirement, the horse he is riding or driving, if it is placed shall be disqualified for the race and the horseman may be fined any sum not exceeding £20, or be suspended or disqualified for any term."
