actually, what is the rule there? what if the jock is coming off right at the wire?

I think the rule states that the horse shall carry the full weight assigned throughout the race.

Horses have won with jocks clinging to their necks. As long as the horse is carrying them it is ok

Pull up the replay: Prairie Meadows, April 27, Race 7...

Jock gets bumped and knocked out of the saddle coming to the wire. Hangs on across the wire. Wins on DQ.
