038-7 Wyo. Code R. §§ 7-5 - Jockey Agents
(a) Each Jockey Agent must obtain a license
from the Commission.
(b) The
Stewards may permit an applicant to act pending decision on his application for
a license.
(c) A jockey agent may
handle no more than one jockey and one apprentice at the same time. A jockey
agent shall not make or assist the making of any engagement for any rider other
than those he is licensed to represent. The Stewards may approve a jockey
agent's representing two journeymen if conditions justify.
(d) If a jockey agent gives up the making of
engagements for any rider, he shall immediately notify the Stewards and the
Racing Secretary and he shall also turn over to the Stewards a list of any
unfilled engagements he may have made for that rider.
(e) Jockey agents must have in their
possession at all times engagement books approved by the Stewards, and all
engagements made for jockeys by agents must be recorded in the books. Books are
subject to examination by the Stewards at all times.
(i) When an owner or trainer engages the
services of a jockey through a jockey agent he must obtain a ticket from the
jockey agent specifying whether or not he has first or second call on the
services of the jockey. The calls must be declared at time of entry.
(ii) No person other than an owner, trainer,
jockey agent or authorized agent of an owner shall make engagements for a
jockey. A jockey not represented by an agent may make his own
engagements.
(iii) Before each
day's entries are taken jockey agents are required to file their first, second,
and third calls in each race in the Racing Secretary's office with a person
designated by the Stewards. If during the time entries are being taken, an
agent should lose or pick up a call, he shall immediately add those calls to
the one previously filed.
(f) Conflicting claims for the services of a
jockey shall be decided by the Stewards and the first call shall have
priority.
(g) A jockey agent shall
not give to anyone any information or advice pertaining to a race or engage in
the practice of "touting" for the purpose of influencing any person in the
making of a wager on the result of any race.
(h) Any agent who falsifies his record shall
be suspended by the Stewards and his case referred to the Commission.
(i) Jockey agents will be called upon to
explain rival claims for any mount or for any rider and inability to satisfy
the Stewards that the rival claim arose through honest error shall be
considered a falsification of records.
(j) Jockey agents shall not be allowed in the
paddock at any time except by permission of the Stewards.
