Section 11.04.01.687 - STARTING GATE MALFUNCTION01.Malfunction. Should there be a malfunction of the starting gate, and one (1) or more stall doors do not open or open after the exact moment when the starter dispatches the field, the Board of Stewards may declare the horses with malfunctioning stall doors non-starters and the starting and entry fees refunded, or may allow any horse whose stall door opened late, but still ran a time fast enough to qualify to be declared a starter for qualifying purposes.02.Breaks Through Gate. If a horse breaks through the stall door, or the stall door opens prior to the exact moment the starter dispatched the field, the horse must be declared a non-starter and the starting and entry fees refunded. If the field has not been dispatched, the horse may be allowed to start at the discretion of the Stewards.03.Considered Starters. If one (1) or more, but not all, stall doors open at the exact moment the starter purposely dispatches the field, all horses should be considered starters for qualifying purposes and placed according to their electronic time.Idaho Admin.
