Section 7-6 - Jockey Apprentices

(a) Jockey apprentices must obtain a license from the Commission.

(b) Jockey apprentices shall be bound by all rules for jockeys except as the rules may be in conflict with the following specific regulations for apprentices.

(c) The Stewards may grant a temporary license for the riding of two races and if approved by the Stewards the temporary license may be replaced with an apprentice jockey license.

(d) Apprentice certificates must be on forms supplied by the Commission and a duplicate original copy, along with a satisfactory record of birth, shall be filed with the Commission.

(e) An apprentice jockey shall ride with a five pound weight allowance beginning after his first mount and for one full year from the date of his fifth winning mount.

  • (i) If after riding one full year from the date of his fifth winning mount, the apprentice jockey has failed to ride a total of 40 winners from the date of his first winning mount, he shall continue to ride with a five pound weight allowance for one more year from the date of his fifth winning mount or until he has ridden a total of 40 winners, whichever comes first.
  • (ii) If an apprentice jockey is unable to ride for a period of 14 consecutive days or more after the date of his fifth winning mount because of service in the armed forces of the U.S.A., or because of physical disablement, the Commission may extend the time during which the apprentice weight allowance may be claimed for a period not to exceed the period the apprentice jockey was unable to ride.

(f) Any person between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and if under age, with the written consent of his parents or guardian, may be granted an apprentice certificate and license in lieu of an apprentice contract. The apprentice certificate shall grant an apprentice all the allowances and conditions granted to the apprentice who is under contract and he may claim in all overnight races, except handicaps, all allowances as set forth in the rules and regulations governing apprentice jockeys.
