Rider Instructions
Insiders, I am curious as to how this goes...I have only been privy to a set of instructions once, and it was from a trainer to a rider on a claimer at Pimlico..."ride him how you feel"...
I am specifically interested in what they tell the jocks on horses like Henny Hughes in a race like the Sprint or others who will soon have a new career in the breeding shed. Do they ever tell them not to take any chances, etc? Do some jocks have carte blanche to ride however they want, no matter the trainer? Just wondering. Thanks!
