The outriders shall instruct the jockeys and pony riders to proceed directly to the starting gate when so ordered by the stewards.
In the event that a jockey becomes unseated or is unable to control a horse the outriders shall take whatever action, in the outriders sole discretion, is appropriate to protect the health and safety of persons and horses on the race track.
All jockeys, owners, trainers, grooms and pony riders must obey the orders of the outriders while horses are on the race track except during the loading of the starting gate and the starting of the race when those persons must obey the orders of the starter as required in ARSD 20:04:20:92. Persons who do not comply with the outriders orders may be fined or suspended or both.
Outriders may not use abusive or profane language while in the conduct of the outriders duties.
