Ohio Admin. Code 3769-7-14 - Apprentice jockey
(A) .Before an apprentice jockey license is
granted, the commission, or a board of stewards acting in its behalf, shall
ascertain that the applicant has suitable qualifications and aptitude to hold
an apprentice jockey's license and that applicant has not been previously
licensed as a jockey under any jurisdiction.
(B) Upon compliance with these requirements,
the commission may issue an apprentice jockey certificate allowing the holder
to claim this allowance in overnight races only.
(1) An apprentice jockey shall ride with a
five-pound weight allowance beginning with his/her first mount and for one full
year from the date of his/her fifth winning mount.
(2) If, after riding one full year from the
date of his/her fifth winning mount, the apprentice jockey has not ridden forty
winners, the applicable weight allowance shall continue for one more year or
until the fortieth winner, whichever comes first. In no event may a weight
allowance be claimed for more than two years from the date of the fifth winning
mount, unless an extension has been granted.
(3) The commission may extend the weight
allowance of an apprentice jockey when, in the discretion of the commission,
the apprentice provides proof of incapacitation for a period of seven or more
consecutive days. The allowance may be claimed for a period not to exceed the
period such apprentice was unable to ride.
(4) The apprentice jockey must have their
apprentice certificate with them at all times and must keep an updated record
of their first forty winners. Prior to riding, the certificate must be
submitted to the clerk of scales, who will record the apprentice's winning
mounts.
