THE LAWS OF RACING, BETTING, &c.

GENERAL RULES OF RACING, RIDING, &c. 1. Horses take their age from the 1st of January. 2. In catch and feather weights any person can ride without going to scale.

3. Horses not entitled to start without producing a certificate of age, &c., if required, except where aged horses are included, in which case a younger horse may be entered without such certificate, provided he carry the same weight as the aged.

4. A maiden horse or mare is one that has never won. An untried stallion or mare is one whose produce has never run in public.

5. No person can start more than one horse for any plate, or for any race for which heats are run. 6. Where two horses run a dead heat and their owners agree to divide, both are liable to carry extra weight as winners. A horse walking over, or receiving forfeit, except for a match, will be deemed a winner. The winner of a sweepstakes reduced to a match, is considered the winner of a

known, the sire of the horse, &c., must be mentioned, together with such other particulars as will be sufficient to identify the animal. If a horse has once appeared in the Calendar by a name and his pedigree, it will be sufficient afterwards to mention him by his name only, even though he has never started. If the dam was covered by more than one stallion, the names of all of them must be mentioned. If any horse be named without being identified, he will not be allowed to start; but his owner will be liable for the stake or forfeit.

12. No horse will be deemed the winner of any race which shall be proved to have run under a false description; the disqualification to remain in force until his pedigree be ascertained and recorded. No objection can be made after the lapse of twelve months from the time of running,

specified.

13. Allowance of weight to the produce of untried horses or mares must be claimed at the time of naming. Extra weights and allowances for not sweepstakes. In estimating winnings, no deduc-winning, are not accumulative, unless particularly tion can be made except of the winner's own stake, and of any sum or suma required by the conditions to be paid out of the stakes to the owner of any other horse or horses in the race. Entrance money or plates not to be deducted.

7. Jockeys must ride their horses to the usual place of weighing, and he that dismounts before, or wants weight, is distanced, unless he be disabled by accident, in which case he may be led or carried to the scale. If a jockey fall from his horse, and the horse be rode in from the place where the rider fell, by a person of sufficient weight, he may take his place the same as if the rider had not fallen.

8. If one horse jostle or cross another, such horse, and every horse belonging to the same owner, or in which he may have a share, running in the same race, will be disqualified for winning, whether such jostle or cross was caused by accident or foul riding. Complaints must be made at the time the jockey is weighed.

9. Every jockey allowed 21b. above the weight specified for his horse; but should any horse carry more than 2lb. above his weight, without having declared it (at Newmarket, at least one hour before the time fixed for the first race of the day, and elsewhere a clear half hour before the time fixed for the race in which the horse is intended to run, or, if no time is fixed, a clear half hour before the race is run), he will be considered distanced, although he came in first.

10. For the best of the plate, where three heats are run, the horse is second that wins one heat. For the best of the heats, the horse is second that beats

the other horse twice out of three times, though he
do not win a heat. Where a plate is won by two
heats, the preference of the horses is determined
by the second heat. Where a plate is given to the
winner of the best of three heats, a horse, to win,
must be the actual winner of two heats, even though
no horse appear against him for both or either of the
heats. When three horses have each won a heat,
they only must start for a fourth. In running of
heats, a dead heat goes for nothing, and all the
horses may start again, unless it be between two
horses that had each won a heat. Horses drawn
before the plate is won, are distanced. No distance
in a fourth heat.

NOMINATIONS-OBJECTIONS TO QUALI-
FICATIONS, &c.

14. When any person enters a horse, or subscribes to a stake under a fictitious name, or in the name of a per-on not fully identified at the time, he will be considered in all respects as the owner of the horse, and as the subscriber to the stake. The Stewards of the Jockey Club have power to call upon a nominator to produce testimony that the horse named is not the property, either wholly or in part, of any person whose name appears in the list of defaulters; and, if he fail to do so, they may cause the nomination to be erased.

15. In any race which may contain particular conditions as to qualification, it is sufficient if the horse be qualified at the time of naming.

16. When the qualification of a horse is objected to before running, the proof of qualification must be made by the owner before starting on failure, the prize may be withheld for a period to be fixed by the Stewards, and, if not made then, he will not be entitled to the prize, though his horse shall have come in first. If the objection be made after the time specified, the proof rests with the objector.

17. When the age or qualification of a horse is objected to, either before or after running, the Stewards have power to order an examination of the horse's mouth, by competent persons, and to call for all such evidence as they may require, and their decision is final.

18. In all cases of fraud punishable by law, the Jockey Club have power, with the consent of the party aggrieved, to prosecute the offenders,

19. If a horse shall run, or be brought to run for any race in England, or elsewhere, and shall be proved not to be of the age represented, the Jockey Club have power to disqualify for ever the owner, or part owner, trainer, groom, or person having the care of such horse at the time, from running of training any horse where the rules of the Jockey Club apply, and from being employed by any member of the Club. And any horse thus fraudelently entered or run, is for ever disqualified for running in any race whatever.

20. No horse foaled out of the United Kingdom can be entered for any race where the rules of the Jockey Club prevail, unless the owner, at the time of naming, deposit with the person appointed to receive such nomination, a certificate from some racing club of the country where the horse was foaled, or from the mayor or other public officer of the district, stating the age, pedigree, and colour of the horse, and the marks by which it is dis tinguished.

ARREARS, DEFAULTERS, &c.

11. In all nominations of horses, which have not started before the time of naming, the sire, dam, and grandam must be mentioned, if known, unless the dam has a name which is to be found in the Stud Book or Calendar, in which case the name of the sire and dam will be sufficient. If the horse, 21. All stakes must be made before starting: in &c., be own brother. or sister to any horse, &c., default thereof, the nominator becomes liable as a having a name in the Stud Book or Calendar, it loser, whether his horse comes in first or not, unless will be sufficient to name it as such. If the dam he shall have previously obtained the consent of the or grandam be sister (but which sister must be party or parties with whom he is engaged to his not specified, if there be more than one), or dam, or staking. When the riders of any horses brought out grandam, of any horse, &c.. having a name in the to run are called upon by the starter to take their Stud Book or Calendar, it will be sufficient to men-places for starting, the owner for every horse that tion her as such. If the dam or grandam is not goes to the post is liable to pay his whole stake.

22. No person can start a horse for any race, either in his own name or in that of any other person, unless both the owner and namer shall have paid all former stakes and forfeits before the time fixed for starting for the first race. This rule extends to forfeits due elsewhere than at Newmarket, provided a notice of them be delivered by ten o'clock in the evening preceding the day of running. 23. No person in arrear for stakes or forfeits, after application for payment, and no person notoriously a defaulter in respect of bets, can enter or run in his own name, or in that of any other person. any horse of which he is wholly or in part owner. And to prevent any evasion of this rule, the Stewards nave power to call upon the nominator to produce satisfactory testimony that such is not the case, and on failure of such proof, may cause the nomination to be erased, and the nominator will be held liable for the stakes or forfeits thereon. And no horse trained by any groom or other person thus in default, or in any way under the care of any person in default, will be permitted to start. Should any horse coming under the above regulations be mistakenly permitted to start, it will not be considered a winner though he should come in first, and the subscriber will have to pay the whole stake, as for a beaten horse.-(This rule is in force at Good wood, Ascot, Liverpool, York, &c., but not at Newmarket.)

LIABILITIES OF SELLERS AND PUR-
CHASERS.

24. When a horse is sold with his engagements, the seller has not the power of striking the horse out; but, as the original subscriber remains liable for the forfeits, he may, if compelled to pay them, place them on the forfeit list, as due from the purchaser to himself; and both the purchaser and the horse remain under the same disabilities as if the purchaser had been the original subscriber. In all cases of private sale, the written acknowledgment of both parties that the horse was sold with the engagement is necessary to entitle either buyer or seller to the benefit of this rule.

25. When a person has a horse engaged in the name of another party, who may be on the list of defaulters, he may, if he pay this forfeit, start his horse, leaving the forfeit on the list, and substituting his own name for that of the person to whom it was previously due. He may take the same course in respect of forfeits not on the list,

26. When a person takes a nomination for a stake, in which the forfeit is to be declared by a particular time, and does not declare forfeit by the time fixed, he takes the engagement on himself, and his name will be substituted for that of the original subscriber. 27. In a selling race, none but those who have started horses in it are entitled to claim; the horse claimed must be paid for on the day of the race, or the party claiming is not entitled to demand him at any future period, but the owner of the horse clained may insist upon the claimant taking and paying for him. At Newmarket any horse for a selling stake or plate is liable to be claimed by the owner of any other horse in the race, for the price for which he is entered to be sold, and the amount of the stake; the owner of the second being first entitled, &c.

TRIALS.

28. Every engagement made with any norse, &c., running in a trial, between the time of such trial and the entering of it in the Trial-book, whether it be entered within the time prescribed or not, shall not be run, but the owner of such tried norse shall be considered as having declared forfeit, unless his opponents, or any of them, should be desirous to hold him to his engagement. And, in case any house so tried shall have started and won any race zde subsequently to the trial, and before the entry of it, his owner will not be entitled to the stake, but will be considered as beaten. Every bet made upon or against any such horse becomes void. In these cases the disqualification attaches to the horse, without regard to any change of the property in him; and if, with respect to the disqualification, any difficulty should arise in ascertaining the

horse or horses tried, the owner is bound, on the request of the Stewards, to declare to them which of his horses ran in such trial; on refusal, the Stewards have the power to fix the disqualification upon any one or more of his horses at their option. (This rule is applicable only to Newmarket.) BETS.

29. The person who bets the odds has a right to choose his horse or the field; when he has chosen his horse, the field is what starts against him. Bets are determined though the horse does not start, when the word "absolutely," or "play or pay," are made use of. All double events are play or pay. Bets on horses whose riders have been called upon by the starter to take their places for the purpose of starting, are play or pay. 30. A bet cannot be off except by mutual consent; but either party may demand stakes to be made on the day of the race, and on refusal may declare the bet off. And if either party be absent on the day of running, a public declaration of the bet may be made on the course, and a demand whether any person will make stakes for the absent party; if no person consent to do so, the bet may be declared void. Bets, however, agreed to be settled in town, or any particular place, cannot be declared off on the course.

31. Bets laid without mentioning the horse before the race is over, are determined by the state of the odds at the time of making it.

32. Bets between any horses that become the property of the same person, or of his avowed confederate, are void.

33. Bets on horses disqualified, and not allowed to start for want of proper identification in naming or entering, are void; but not so on horses objected to after the race on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomination; in the latter case, the bets go with the horse that comes in first, unless otherwise disqualified. In cases where the objection is made before starting, the Stewards have the power to suspend the settlement of bets until the objection has been investigated.

34. Bets become void on the death of the nominator of the horse betted on; or if the race for which the horse is named be the first of a double event; but not so on the death of the horse, or of the owner of such horse, unless named by him. 35. Bets made upon any horse running in a trial between the time of trial and the entry of it, are void. (This rule applies only to Newmarket.)

36. Bets on a race for any particular day in any meeting, in which the parties afterwards change the day, stand; but, if the race be postponed to a different meeting, are void. (The Stewards have the power, in cases of urgent necessity, of putting off the races from day to day in the same week and all bets on such races must stand.)

37. Bets not vitiated because the owner of the horse may have omitted to make stakes before starting.

38. Bets made in running for a plate are not determined until it is won. Bets made after the heat, if the horse betted should not start again, are void.

39. Bets between horses that run a dead heat, and whose owners agree to divide, or between either of such horses and the field, must be put together and divided in the same proportion as the stakes. If a bet be made on one of the horses that ran the dead heat against a horse that is beaten in the race, the backer of the former wins half his bet. If the dead heat be the first event of a double bet, the bet is void. Bets between horses that run a dead heat for a match are void.

40. Bets cannot be transferred without the consent of both parties to it.

41. Money given to have a bet laid is not to be returned, though the race be not run. 42. Bets between horses are void if neither of them should win.

43. A defaulter for bets may, within two years from the date of his defalcation, after having settled with his cre titors, demand the sums due to him, but after the expiration of that term, loses all claim on the person indebted to him.
