Section 4025.33 - Programming of jockeys

(a) Each horse to be drawn into the main body of a race or as an also eligible shall have its jockey named by the time established by the racing secretary for drawing of post positions and prior to the publication of the overnights. No jockey may be named to ride more than one horse in a race except that a jockey may be named to ride a horse drawn into the main body of a race and a horse drawn as an also eligible in such race, or a jockey may be named to two or more parts of a coupled entry where only one starter from such entry will start.

(b) All jockeys shall be named by scratch time and no jockey shall be named or changed thereafter except by the stewards for good cause.

(c) It shall be the responsibility of the trainer to insure compliance with this rule. In this regard, upon request, the racing secretary's office when taking entries shall notify the trainer of the availability of specific jockeys. Should a jockey remain unnamed at the time prescribed herein such naming shall be made by the stewards or their designee. No jockey, once named, shall be changed except for good cause by the stewards.

(d) It shall be the responsibility of both jockey and trainer to fulfill their engagements.

(e) An apprentice allowance may only be claimed before entries have closed and only if the apprentice has been engaged.
