Section R. 431.3250 - Jockeys' room; reporting

Rule 3250.

(1) A jockey who has engagements to ride shall, upon entering the grounds, report directly to the scale room at the time designated by the clerk of scales. After making weight, a jockey shall not leave the jockeys' room, except to ride in scheduled races, until all of his or her engagements for the day have been filled, except as approved by the stewards. Immediately before mounting, a jockey shall test his or her weights on the scales provided for that purpose. Failure to test his or her weights subjects a jockey to possible disciplinary action.
(2) A jockey shall not reenter the jockeys' room once his or her day's engagements are completed.
(3) A jockey shall wear the colors of the owner of the horse he or she is riding, unless permitted by the stewards to do otherwise.
(4) The association shall make arrangements for valets to attend the jockeys. Valets shall be paid for their services by the association. The valets shall work on a rotation system prepared by the jockeys' room custodian.
(5) The valets shall be uniformly and neatly attired in uniforms provided by the association and approved by the executive director.
