I disagree.  If proof of intent were required, then the rules would be 
meaningless.  The unentered rider could say, "I was just riding along, 
not pacing" and no one could prove otherwise.  The only sensible way to 
read these rules is to equate the FACT of riding along with pacing.

The bottom line here is that you can not prove intent but you can prove 
whether or not the other horse rode along and it is this BEHAVIOUR that 
the rules prohibit.
