A maximum of three horses per member may be entered into a qualifying heat on a first come, first served basis. If there should be more than six horses pending for any heat once the race is full, an additional instance shall be provided.

In the event of a tie for the last remaining berth in the event final, the horse with the fastest qualifying time will be given precedence.
