A breaking horse must lose ground. When back into stride he must try and get back into the race. A break does not disqualify him if the driver restrains him properly. However, if another horse is “lapped one” a breaking horse at the finish line, the breaking horse is automatically set back in official standing behind the horse or horses which are “lapped on” provided those horses are on gait.
