LAC 35:XLI.727. Earning of Jockey Fee

A. A jockey fee shall be considered earned by a rider when he is weighed out by the clerk of scales except: 1. when a rider does not weigh out and does not ride in a race for which he has been engaged because an owner or trainer engaged more than one rider for the same race. In such case, the owner or trainer shall pay an appropriate fee to each such rider engaged for such race; 2. when a rider capable of riding elects to take himself off the mount without, in the opinion of the stewards, proper cause therefor; 3. when a rider is replaced by the stewards with a substitute rider for a reason other than a physical injury suffered by such rider during the time between weighing out and start of the race.
