Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) After
			 a race has been run and after the jockey has pulled up the horse, the jockey
			 must ride promptly to the designated unsaddling area and dismount. The jockey
			 will proceed to the clerk of the scales to be weighed in. If a jockey is
			 prevented from riding his/her mount to the designated unsaddling area because
			 of an accident or of illness to either the jockey or the horse, the jockey may
			 walk or be carried to the scales, or the stewards may excuse the jockey from
			 weighing.
(2) Except by permission
			 of the stewards, every jockey, upon arrival at the designated unsaddling area
			 after a race, must unsaddle the horse he/she has ridden. No person may touch
			 the jockey or the horse except by the horse's bridle, or cover the horse in any
			 manner until the jockey has removed the equipment to be weighed.
(3) No person may assist a jockey in removing
			 from his/her horse the equipment that is to be included in the jockey weight,
			 except by permission of the stewards.
(4) Each jockey must carry over to the scales
			 all pieces of equipment with which he/she weighed out.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Each jockey will weigh in at no less than
			 the same weight he/she weighed out. If a jockey is under the weight that is
			 assigned, and after consideration of mitigating circumstances by the board of
			 stewards, his/her mount may be disqualified. If a weight discrepancy arises
			 after a race has been declared official, a change in the order of finish will
			 not affect the parimutuel payoffs.
(2) The post race weighing in of jockeys
			 includes safety vest, helmet, sweat, dirt and mud that have accumulated on the
			 jockey, jockey's clothing, and jockey's safety equipment. This may account for
			 additional weight, depending on specific equipment as well as weather and track
			 condition.
(3) A notice shall be
			 included in the official program that all jockeys will carry approximately
			 three pounds more than published weight to account for safety equipment (vest
			 and helmet), that is not included in weighing out procedures. Additionally,
			 upon approval jockeys may weigh an additional two pounds for inclement weather
			 gear.

(3) Parimutuel
			 tickets may be exchanged or cancelled prior to the running of a race based upon
			 the written policies of the association. Such policies must be filed with the
			 commission.

			 parimutuel wagers will be made on the basis of the order of finish as posted
			 and declared "official." Any subsequent change in the order of finish or award
			 of purse money as may result from a subsequent ruling by the stewards or
			 commission will in no way affect the parimutuel payoff. If an error in the
			 posted order of finish or payoff figures is discovered, the official order of
			 finish or payoff prices may be corrected and an announcement concerning the
			 change will be made to the public.
(5) The association has no obligation to
			 enter a wager into a betting pool if unable to do so due to equipment
			 failure.

			 claims and pay each claim, or a part thereof, that the association determines

			 is denied by the association may, within fifteen days from the date the denial
			 notice was served, request the executive secretary to determine the validity of
			 the claim. The failure to file such request with the executive secretary within

			 of service of the executive secretary's determination, the claimant or the
			 association may challenge the executive secretary's determination by requesting
			 a hearing before the commission as provided in WAC
			 260-08-675.
(d) If no valid claims are presented, or
			 after all filed claims have been resolved, the amount of the underpayment or

			 (i.e. exacta pools). If there is no similar pool the underpayment will be
			 applied to the win pool of the first race. Such payment will be publicly
