(4)  it does not start correctly;

(5)  it refuses to start;

(6)  it breaks its gait in 2 consecutive races except where it broke its gait because its equipment broke, because it was interfered with or because it was the victim of an accident;

(1)  in a qualifying race;

(2)  in a schooling race;

(3)  in a special race unless the conditions for participation in the special race provide otherwise;

(4)  in a race held on a race track other than the one where it was entered on the “Qualifying List” only for the grounds provided for in subparagraph 8 of the first paragraph as long as it meets the time standard established by the race secretary of the other race track regarding the capacity of the horse to run a certain distance in the time standard required.
