Section 294-19.012

If a jockey wishes to protest a happening in a race, said jockey shall notify the Clerk of Scales or outrider in accordance with procedures specified by the Stewards at the race meet.

The Stewards may specify either of the following procedures for the filing of a protest by a jockey:

1) The jockey shall be required to report to a designated outrider on the backstretch immediately following the running of a race. The outrider shall be in constant radio communications with the Stewards following each race, and shall immediately notify the Stewards of any protest by a jockey.

An owner or trainer may protest a happening in a race and shall be provided adequate means of contacting the Stewards promptly following a race. An owner or trainer may advise the Stewards that a discussion with their jockey is needed before a decision concerning a claim of foul is made, in which case the Stewards shall take no official action until a reasonable opportunity for such discussion and decision has been allowed. It shall be the trainers and owners responsibility to be aware of mans available for timely communication with the Stewards following a race.

2) The jockey shall be required to notify the Clerk of Scales of any protest immediately upon his arrival at the scales for weighing in. It shall be each jockey's responsibility to know which procedure is being used for reporting a protest.
