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.

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 "
