Some require more hands-on, rigorous daily workouts while others just need daily maintenance training to stay fit. There are many reasons a jockey or driver can be disqualified. Most occur when a horse impedes the forward motion or direction of another horse in a race. It is their decision if a disqualification occurs. Jockeys and drivers can be suspended if the stewards believe excessive use of the whip occurred, or some other regulatory infraction, even while not racing.
Unsportsmanlike behaviour is also grounds for suspension.
The program states the entries of each race, the owner and their colours, the jockey or driver, the trainer, conditions of the race and early morning odds. The harness program also contains past performances of the horse which includes all details of the horse s previous races. The Racing Form contains the past performances of the thoroughbreds racing that day. Interesting stories from the racing world, previous days results and information on upcoming races are also included. Both the Racing Form and program have a page that describes what each column and symbol means and how to read them.
