The Breaking Horse Regulations (part B) provides: "any horse which breaks from its gait in the final 200 metres of any race and continues on in a break for a distance of 50 metres or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of Rule 870(3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its gait."
The Regulation further provides: "where a protest has been duly lodged against the placing of an offending horse, The Judicial Committee shall either: (1) relegate such horse under Rule 870(4) to behind any other horse in respect of which an advantage may have been gained; or (2) disqualify it from the race under Rule 1003(2)."
