If one or more stall doors of the starting gate do not open at exactly the same time when the starter dispatches the field, the stewards may declare the horses in the stalls with malfunctioning doors to be nonstarters. The stewards may allow any horse whose stall door opened late but still ran a time fast enough to qualify for the finals to be declared a starter for qualifying purposes.
