Because the jockey fullfilled his or her engagement by showing up , pulling weight , taking the risk and riding the race. Ive had it happen to me when I was riding , the trainer got a bad test and the next week they took it out of my paycheck, I didnt do anything wrong , infact I did everything right and so now Im going to get screwed out of my money that I earned because the trainer was a bonehead.
