Possibly, but my guess is that even that is remote as the law tends to be pretty clear in this area which generally leads to such suits being tossed out in the early stages. It may even to some extent be to draw attention to the situation in an attempt to either change the laws or bring attention to the drive to provide adequate insurance to jockeys who sustain serious injuries.

I seriously doubt the defendants will be interested in putting any money on the table.
