Section 11.04.01.444 - APPRENTICE JOCKEYSApprentice Jockeys are bound by all the rules for Jockeys, except in the instance of a specific exception for an Apprentice Jockey.
01.End of Apprenticeship. The apprenticeship automatically terminates one (1) year from the date of the apprentice's fifth winning ride or on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the license as an Apprentice Jockey if during such first year the apprentice has ridden at least forty-five (45) thoroughbred winners. Otherwise, the apprenticeship automatically terminates after the first anniversary date on the date of the forty-fifth winning mount is ridden by the apprentice or on the date of the third anniversary of the first apprentice license, whichever comes first.02.Extend Apprenticeship Termination. For good cause, the Racing Commission may extend the termination date of any apprenticeship or the conditions under which the apprenticeship may be granted.03.Races Considered. Races other than recognized thoroughbred races in the United States, Canada or Mexico reported in the Daily Racing Form or other similar official publication will not be considered in determining eligibility for a license as Apprentice Jockey; provided, however, that any person who has ridden as a licensed Jockey at any recognized meeting in the United States or other country will have the burden of establishing that the granting of an apprentice license to such person is in the best interest of thoroughbred racing in Idaho.Idaho Admin.
