Apprentice losing bug*?

i always thought an apprentice loses his bug after 40 wins and 1 year after his first recognized track win.

I notice that Alexis Valdes riding at Finger Lakes meets the above criteria, having 62 wins and his first american win 8/25/2016, but still gets 5lbs.?

Anyone know more?

An apprentice jockey shall be allowed the following weight allowances in all Thoroughbred, Appaloosa, Arabian and Paint races: (a) Ten pound allowance beginning with the first mount and continuing until the apprentice has ridden five winners. (b) A seven pound allowance until the apprentice has ridden an additional 35 winners; and (c) If an apprentice has ridden a total of 40 winners prior to the end of a period of one year from the date of riding their fifth winner, they shall have an allowance of five pounds until the end of that year. (d) If after one year from the date of his or her fifth winning mount the apprentice has not ridden 40 winners, the applicable weight allowance shall continue for one more year or until the date of the 40th winner, whichever comes first

Upon request of the apprentice, the time limit can also be extended by the stewards in case of lost time due to injury.
