The Breaking Horse Regulation provides as follows:
(b) Any horse which breaks from its gait within the final 200m of any race and continues on in the break for a distance of 50m or greater, shall be deemed to be in breach of r 870 (3) in that it has failed to promptly regain its proper gait.

1st: Pickett’s Ridge (8)

Submissions for Decision:
Mr Munro, with the aid of the videos, said THUNDER BUDDY was improving wide out in the home straight. Inside the 100 metre mark THUNDER BUDDY trotted roughly for several strides and then broke from its gait. It continued in a break until the finish line.
