The commission may extend the weight allowance of an apprentice jockey when, in the discretion of the commission an apprentice jockey is unable to continue riding due to:

(a)physical disablement or illness;

(b)military service;

(c)attendance in an institution of secondary or higher education;

(d)restriction on racing; or

(e)other valid reasons.

In order to qualify for an extension, an apprentice jockey shall have been rendered unable to ride for a period of not less than seven consecutive days during the period in which the apprentice was entitled to an apprentice weight allowance. Under exceptional circumstances, total days lost collectively will be given consideration. The commission currently licensing the apprentice jockey shall have the authority to grant an extension to an eligible applicant, but only after the apprentice has produced documentation verifying time lost as defined by this regulation. An apprentice may petition one of the jurisdictions in which he or she is licensed and riding for an extension of the time for claiming apprentice weight allowances, and the apprentice shall be bound by the decision of the jurisdiction so petitioned.
