276. During a race, and considering the weather, the condition of the racing strip and the circumstances of the race, a driver shall drive so that his horse keeps a pace that does not hinder another horse and that corresponds to the class of horses in which his horse is participating.
Where a race proceeds too slowly in comparison with the class of the participating horses for that race, a driver shall drive his horse so as to improve the pace of the race, where he is not driving the leader.
