These included:"Every rider that layeth hold on, or striketh any of the riders, shall win no plate or prize""Whosoever winneth the plate or prize shall give to the Clerk of the Course twenty shillings, to be distributed to the poor both sides of Newmarket, and twenty shillings to the Clerk of the Race for which he is to keep the course plain and free from cart roots""No man is admitted to ride for this prize that is either a serving man or groom"The prizes for the contest include a box of Newmarket sausages.
