Got an email today...
 

stating that KY jockeys will now set individual mount fees. As bad as the riders are at Turfway there should be a reduction in price.

Or maybe they should pay for their mounts???

agree if bad the jock should pay or a lower rate.

There should be a lot of these if Kent D. comes back to Churchill this summer...

amazing how little i know about this sport. the amount of information needed to grasp all the subject matter in horse racing is beyond my intellect.

it's going to take me years.

But that's why we play this game instead of pulling slot machine handles. It's worth the effort.

Thats a very interesting concept

or how bout the agents. Just call em jockey brokers.

Johnston complains that the fee in NY is $100 and the KY fee is $45. Now maybe the KY fee needs an adjustment but maybe he should compare the purse structure between NY and Turfway before he starts comparing the fees. And if the jockeys dont want to ride on Saturday that is fine because I will just use Cherie. She is better than at least 1/2 of the riders there and her fee is reasonable.

U r better than half the jocks at TWP.

Yeah but I just cant make the weight anymore

#7 Rampillion +160 pounds over :D :D

Cannon and I need to race on Clydesdale's.:wf

That is about right...maybe 165

Or elephants

:D

I don't think even bad jocks should have to pay for their own mount.

they need practice

Do mean to say jocks shouldn't pay for their mounts, period?
