is it only during the warm up that this is a concern? i don't see how it could be, since cigar was being checked behind the gate.
the reason i'm asking is that some horses get fractious in the gate, the jock comes off sometimes while they calm the horse. so technically those horses aren't under weight the entire time...that's allowed, but a horse dumping it's rider and taking off isn't?
