If your in a horse racing competition, if the other jockey whips or kicks your horse is the race stopped?

The race is not stopped BUT the horse/jockey combo will be disqualified and the jockey will face very serious consequences afterwards. There are fines and suspensions waiting for him at the finish line.\nIf one jockey has a bad habit of doing those things, he can be barred from certain tracks, as well.\nThat's a very dangerous thing to be doing in the middle of an already very dangerous activity!

Unlike baseball, basketball, hockey, etc., horse racing does not have a national commissioner. Each state has its own rules and regulations pertaining to medications, additives, disciplinary acton against jockey's and the connections of a horse, etc.\n\nThe rules of racing can be different within the same state and may even vary from racetrack to racetrack within a particular state, i.e., some standardbred racetracks are 5/8 of a mile in circumference-Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania, some racetracks are 1/2 mile in circumference-Yonkers Raceway in New York, Meadowlands in New Jersey-1 mile, and Belmont Park racetrack for thoroughbreds in New York is 1 1/2 mile in circumference. All with a different set of rules and regulations as to racing, training and caring for a horse.\n\nAnd, there is the matter of dirt or turf and claiming, allowance or graded racing...And, on and on.\n\nTo answer the question, you would have to get in touch with the Racing Secretary's Office of a particular racetrack for more detailed information.

Why are you in the horse racing category?

It sounds like you're talking about the points race on the track.\n\nThe points race works like this. Competitors will ride around the track for a set number of laps. At regular intervals, there are designated sprint laps in which the riders score points based on who crosses the line first, second, and so on.  The winner of the event is not the rider who crosses the line first, but instead, the rider who has scored the most points in the event.\n\nNote however that the race is scored on points and laps. Since taking a lap on the field tends to be commonplace, they keep score based on both categories, with laps taking precedence. If a number of riders have all taken a lap, the points between those riders will determine the placings.\n\nThe Commonwealth Games themselves are a sort of Olympic type of competition between the countries that comprise the Commonwealth (countries like Great Britain, Australia, Canada, and so on).

The lowest a jockey can be paid to ride a horse is 50 bucks. but that's usually at your lower-end tracks.  and the jockey gets 10 percent of the winnings if the jockey gets any winnings that is. but then the rider has to pay his or her agent, who got them the ride. so this is why jockeys ride atleast 4 races on average per racing day. they need the rent money, and they need to make sure if they don't win, that they can still survive.\n\n\nhope this answers you Q

It has nothing to do with the number of the horse.  The numbers, or positions at the start, are drawn randomly.\n\nThe handicapper increases the weight an individual horse has to carry to slow him down, so that at the end of the race, there is the possibility of a photo finish.\n\nIf the handicapper weighted the horses correctly, every horse will hit the finish line at the same time.\n\nThis is usually not the case, because they do not take into account luck, heart, and how each horse is feeling on race day.

Yup, jockeys are the most in-shape and toughest athletes you can imagine. They are small, but they still need enough power to control and direct a thousand-pound animal. Plus, they need to condition the horses on a daily basis, along with the trainers. There isn't really any such thing as "a day off" in the horse industry.

Banded Stakes races are races with horses that weren't good enough to make the more important races. Basically it's the race involving the inferior horses.

Ummmm.....No.  If two runners are on the same base simultaneously, and either is tagged, the trailing runner will be called out.

What does this have to do with horse racing?

Beating the dead horse means that even tho you are trying to get that dang horse to go, he won't, cause he's dead. It means you are really trying to do something but you keep getting the same results, no matter what you do.

They cannot. They are acting on different bodies. The force exerted by the horse acts on the wagon, that exerted by the wagon acts on the horse. The forces are NOT colinear, which is a conditon for 'cancelling'

They (owners) get an invite after winning some certain races of similar distance or you can pay to enter if yor horse has the credentials. Such as the so called "Offshore Invaders" from Britain, America, Ireland etc.
