Is it ok to ride a work horse exp. Clydesdale?
So long as you don't jump a work or draft horse it is OK to ride them. Many people jump draft horses when this is actually very detrimental to them. Drafts are not designed to jump with weight on their backs and they tend to have very short and upright pasterns which causes a lot of concussive forces to be placed upon the legs. Many draft horses can make excellent trail or pleasure riding horses.

That's a very confusing riddle. First of all, whoever wrote this didn't finish it. And second of all, who wants to finish last in a race? The winner may usually get a prize, but the loser? I mean, that' literally makes no sense.
Have horses won without jockey?
A horse cannot win without a jockey on it's back as it crosses the finish line.
I think officially they have to remain mounted until they get back to the enclosure where they must be weighed again (including tack) after each race. They are also supposed to stand in the irons as they cross the finish line. If you watch a race you will see the jockeys up in the stirrups for the last few strides before the finish line.

Mine That Bird, the 50-to-1 long-shot winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, is a gelding.
Mine That Bird was sired by Birdstone, the winner of the 2004 Belmont Stakes, the third jewel in thoroughbred horseracing's triple crown, out of the dam Mining My Own. Although the colt has an acceptable pedigree, he wasn't considered stud material as a yearling because of his small size and crooked legs. He currently stands somewhere between 15.1 and 15.3 hands (there is currently no definitive source of information) as a three-year-old.
He was purchased at the 2007 Fall Fasig-Tipton yearling sale for a mere $9,500. The gelding was later sold privately to his current owners for $400,000.
