SECTION 325:60-1-13. Deposit of jockey fee

  The minimum jockey mount fee for a losing mount in the race must be on deposit with the Horsemen's Bookkeeper prior to the time for weighing out, and failure to have such minimum fee on deposit is cause for disciplinary action and cause for the Stewards to scratch the horse for which such fee is to be deposited. The organization licensee assumes the obligation to pay the jockey fee when earned by the engaged Jockey. The jockey fee shall be considered earned when the Jockey is weighed out by the Clerk of Scales, unless, in the opinion of the Stewards, such Jockey capable of riding elects to take himself or herself off the mount without proper cause.
