Steeplechases (includes any form of jumping race) shall be conducted in conformity with the rules herein established insofar as they can be consistently applied. To the extent that they cannot be so applied, modification thereto may be made by the stewards in accordance with the rules of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association; but the jurisdiction of steeplechasing at a meeting shall be vested solely in the Racing Commission.
