Section 71IAC4-3-15. Pylons

   (a) If, at a race track which has pylon demarcations, a horse or the horse's sulky leaves the course by brushing, running over, and/or going inside of the pylons, that horse may be penalized by a disqualification if:

(1) it gave the horse an unfair advantage over other horses in the race;

(2) it helped the horse improve its position in the race; or

(3) the driver goes inside the pylons and does not immediately correct position.

  (b) Horses using the inside to pass must have complete clearance of the pylons.

  (c) Drivers striking pylons but not gaining an unfair advantage may be fined.

  (d) When an act of interference causes a horse or part of the horse's sulky to be in violation of these rules and the horse is disqualified, the offending horse shall be placed behind the horse with which it interfered.
