In placing such horse the judges shall consider both the effect caused on competing horses and any advantage gained by the offending horse through such interference or violation.
(b)If the judges believe a driver allows or causes such driver’s horse to break for the purpose of fraudulently losing a race, such driver shall be subjected to the penalties prescribed herein.
