if a jockey falls off his horse after he passes the winning post,injures himself and is taken away in an ambulance would he be disqualified for failing to weigh in.or is there a rule in the event of this happening to allow him to keep the race.i am wondering about this because it could be the greatest stroke ever pulled with a 1.01 getting beaten because a jockey fails to weigh in.

I believe The Pie kept the National even though Liz Taylor failed to weigh in.
Not just injuries...coulb be arrested for punching Clare Balding in the face during the after race interview
Rule 112.
(2) Upon dismounting after a race every jockey must present himself at
once to be weighed-in by the Clerk of the Scales. Any jockey who
fails to complete the course must report the reason to the Stewards. If
a jockey be prevented from riding back to weigh-in by reason of
accident or illness which results in him or his horse being disabled, he
may walk or be carried to the scales. 50
(5) If a jockey be too ill to weigh-in his horse shall not be disqualified for
the race provided that the jockey weighed-out at not less than his
proper weight and the Stewards are satisfied there are no
circumstances which suggest that less than the proper weight was
carried throughout the race.

So nothing about arrested then...so that's the reason Clare Balding doesn't get a smack.
So the only way it can happen is if a jockey tells the trainer to" take a hike I am not going to weigh in "
