Not sure how much the French rules differ (don't think too much, though...) but in Finland it is an automatic disqualification if they gallop or pace over the line. In addition to if they break for more than 150m at the start of the race, more than 100m elsewhere during the race, break more than twice during the race or break anywhere during the last 100m of the race.
