Section 4117.2 - Failure to finish

(a) If for any cause other than interference a horse fails to finish after starting in a heat or race, that horse shall be ruled out.

(b) A horse finishing without its driver driving shall be disqualified.

(c) Any horse or sulky that shall leave the course, is disqualified and ruled out; except that, in races contested at a track without a continuous hub rail, if, in the opinion of the judges, a horse or sulky is forced off the course as a result of the actions of another horse or driver, or as a result of a break from such horse's gait, the judges may determine the appropriate order of finish. Any horse or sulky that may partly leave the course shall be disqualified one or more positions, as appropriate, if, in the opinion of the judges, such occurrence has had a material effect on the finish of the race.
