Horses excluded from races at a mile or over shall receive preference the next time they are entered in a race at a mile or over. Should a horse be excluded twice, he shall receive, preference over those having been excluded f once. The preferred list will be posted daily at 2 p. m., and all claims of error must "be made within twenty hours thereafter, arid no claim not made within the time limit will be recognized by the stewards. If a horse is on the preferred list, the1 owner, trainer or agent must so notify the" entry clerk, at the tiinc of entry, who will mark the entry "preferred"; no claim of error will be corrected by the stewards If the entry is not so marked.
