When a jock doesn't fully ride out a horse -- in the example of a filly/mare -- in a graded stake, costing the horse 3rd and winding up 4th, yes, we all know the costs. The jock, absent of some immediate concern or problem, is 100% to blame.

Have I seen it happen? Yes. Have I seen it happen in overnight races? Yes.

Question -- if a jock is called out by the stewards for not fully riding out to the wire, does the jock always get days, or is just a fine (with no days) a possibile penalty?
