La. Admin. Code tit. 46, § XLI-701 - Qualifications for Jockey/Apprentice Jockey
A. Any person desiring to participate in this
state as a jockey and has never ridden in a race may be issued a jockey or
apprentice jockey license upon the recommendation of the stewards granting
permission to such person for the purpose of riding in two races to establish
the qualifications and ability of such person for the license, provided,
however:
1. such person has the
qualifications of a permittee and has at least one year of experience with
racing stables;
2. a licensed
trainer certifies in writing to the stewards that such person has demonstrated
sufficient horsemanship to be granted a jockey or apprentice jockey
license;
3. the starter has
schooled such person breaking from the starting gate with other horses and
approves such person as capable of starting a horse properly from the starting
gate in a race;
4. the stewards in
their sole discretion are satisfied such person intends to become a licensed
jockey, possesses the physical ability and has demonstrated sufficient
horsemanship to ride in a race without jeopardizing the safety of horses or
other riders in the race.
