If i backed a horse, and the jockey fell off, but the horse still won, will i win the money?

Question

and another thing.. why does the horse carry on running even if it has happened... hahahah horses are stupid...haha

Answer 1

Horse and Jockey need to cross road at the same time. Otherwise the horse will not be carrying correct weight and therefore it would be disqualified anyway. Horses are trained to run around the track so if it continued running it would be a smart and well trained horse

Answer 2

No, the horse is disqualified if the jockey falls. It's not fair if the horse drops his jockey and still gets to win because all the horses are supposed to be carrying the same weight. The horse that has nothing on his back should win against the horse carrying over 100 lbs. Just like the guy with a 10 pound backpack would lose to a guy running without carrying anything.

The horse keeps running because he doesn't care about whether someone's on his back... he cares about all the horses running in front of him... he's pumped up before a race... it's really hard to stop a horse in a race... Barbaro and Ruffian ran forward another 50 yards or so even though they had broken legs. Go For Wand stood up and ran across the finish line after she broke down even though only her skin was holding the bottom half of her leg onto her body. They care about winning just as much as we do...the horses don't understand the rules and don't know they were disqualified... They just want to win.

Answer 3

Nope. It doesn't seem right, I know. It's the horse you bet on, not the jockey yet the rules don't work that way in horse racing. I've never bet in real life, but as a kid, I followed the papers. Real good. There's a real trick to it. The jockey's the ticket, 8 times out of ten. And like it or not, a dismount, regardless of circumstances stands as disqualification. There's been a lot of controversy on this matter, but the bottom line, it's a team effort even if the jockey gets little if any accreditation. I was asked to be a jockey once but when I learned what went on and the whole shebang, I backed out fast. I love horses too much.

PS. Horses aren't any more stupid than humans.

Answer 4

According to the rules, and I am sure of this one, the horse and jockey must finish the race together. The moment the jockey comes off the horse he is disqualified from the race. If you happen to bet that horse not only do you lose your potential to win, but you lose your entire bet for the race. I have actually seen jockeys come off the horse and have the horse stop and kinda hang around or run the opposite direction, one even jumped the fence and ran towards the crowd. When this happens there are other riders (not in the race) that assist in catching the horse if he is in danger or puts other riders in danger. Generally they keep running around the track alone and many times cross the finish line first.

Answer 5

I have read a few of the answers and no one has actually had the correct response. Some were correct in that no you won't get paid if the jockey falls off, and someone wrote that the jockey must stay in contact with the horse when it crosses the finish line, this is not intirely a correct statement, The horse must be the first to cross the finish line and the jockey's feet must be in the stirrups to get paid!!!!!! Most horses keep on running after the jockey falls off because this is what they are trained to do, and horses do have a competive spirit.

Answer 6

In The UK , since the rules changed a jockey cannot remount and finish a race. But in IRELAND this is still possible, this is where the irish have the best system, and allow the horse to finish , If the horse was lame etc the jockey once he had remounted would not carry on in race, But as I say it is still allowed to remount in Ireland, and you will find ruby walsh did just that around 4/5 weeks ago to finish 3rd on a wp mullins runner.

Answer 7

You will only win if the jockey fell off the horse AFTER the horse crossed the finish line. If he loses the jock any time before that, toss the ticket in the trash.

Too many people think of sports betting as just something they do in their past time. However, many people can see the potential that exists if you manage to have the right sports betting strategy and correct approach to betting in general. Are you sick of losing? Interested in finding out how to turn your luck around? Do you want to know which sports betting strategies stand to help you make the most from your betting?

Any good strategy should allow you to place bets based on a systematic method. Of course there is always a random element or so called luck involved, but betting is all about stacking the odds in your favor. There should be no guess work involved or bets placed based on gut feelings. Betting is a business and it should be treated like one. Any money you use for betting needs to be separate from money you use for your daily life or anything else. How can you possibly expect to follow a strategy with money that was originally set aside to pay next week's rent with? You can't. This will help you to focus on the task of betting and remove any emotional strings attached to the money.

So what makes a good strategy or what should you look for in a strategy before you decide to implement it? Any good strategy needs to have a positive expectancy. This means that in the long run you will win. The hit rate of the strategy needs to be above 50% for you to be able to profit in the long run. An ideal win rate should be between 60 to 70%, because you will need to cover the fees and other expensive associated with betting. Is it feasible to expect you'll be able to find a system that has a 100% win rate? No, it isn't. The best you can do is find a system that has a positive expectancy and stick with it. In the long run you will make more money than you can possibly lose.

Keep whatever information and news you have about the teams as up to date as possible. Any changes in the teams makeup or factors that affect how the players play will great affect the potential outcome of a match. Make sure that you are constantly up to date on every aspect that affects the potential outcome of a match. Information is the key to winning at sports betting.

Answer 9

The jockey has to be on the horse he can be sitting backwa rds or stood on top of the saddle if he wants as long as he crosses the line on the horse, it has nothing to do with feet in stirrups, I have seen saddles slip during races and the jockey has had to kck his feet of the stirrups to stay on the horse, now if the saddle or weight pad come off then the horse is dq'd for finishing with the wrong weight.

Answer 10

You do NOT win......I actually witnessed this once. It was Keystone Racetrack (Philly Park now), and Bobby Colton got loose in the saddle and actually fell off the horse right close to the finish line. Apparently, the official rule is the jockey must remain in "contact" with the horse. Doesnt necesarily mean in the stirrups. Anyway, they reviewed the finish, and did disqualify him as he was completely separated from his horse , before the finish.
