Rule 3769-7-20 | Duty to fulfill engagements.
Every rider shall fulfill their daily scheduled riding engagements, unless excused by the stewards. No rider shall be forced to ride a horse they believe to be unsound nor over a racing strip they believe to be unsafe. If the stewards find a rider's refusal to fulfill a riding engagement is based on a personal belief, unwarranted by the facts and circumstances, such rider shall be subject to disciplinary action.
