(a) All holders of apprentice contracts shall be subject to investigation as to character, ability, facilities and financial responsibility and shall, at the time of making the contract, own in good faith a minimum of three horses in training, or, if a trainer, shall operate in good faith a stable of at least three horses.

(b) Contracts for apprentice jockeys shall provide for fair remuneration, adequate medical attention and suitable commission and lodging for the apprentice; and approved provision shall be made for savings out of his or her earnings.

(c) No apprentice shall be permitted to acquire his or her own contract.

(d) All apprentice contracts described in this Part shall be filed with The Jockey Club within 30 days after execution thereof or upon filing application for license with the commission.

(e) The failure of an owner or trainer to file any such contract or to obtain the approval of the commission thereto may subject such owner or trainer to the revocation or suspension of his or her license or to such other disciplinary action by the commission as in the commission's judgment may seem proper.

(f) An apprentice contract may contain an option, equally available to both employer and apprentice, to cancel the same after two years from its date on such terms as may be prescribed in such contract. Any notice of such cancellation signed by the party or parties cancelling any such agreement shall be filed promptly with the commission and The Jockey Club.
