I'm sure the latest new head of the Jockey's Guild will straighten everything out.

For once, I have to agree with the sarcasm here.

I agree that it doesn't make sense to pay money to come to work, especially when you aren't even guaranteed any money in return.

They do get $100 per mount or something like that so they are guaranteed money, unless the horse scratches and I don't know what happened to that mount money then

There are no tickets for the jockeys because Dinny Phipps gained another 100 pounds and needs all the tickets for his own ass.

how much do you think a winning jockey gets on average in a breeders cup race?

What team does he own?

I know one of his great grand daddies owned a whole lot of US Steel.

His father wasn't an ass like this guy. Lived til he was in his 90's and won the US Open a bunch of times.

Dinny apparently just drinks and eats.

With the money most of them make they should be able to afford to pay for thier own parking and tickets. What a bunch of whining wenches.

What company charges people that work there fees to park in the company parking lot?

ever been to d.c.?

look at new york, a parking spot can cost you more than the apt you rent. you live there, and can't even park there.
i think $50 is steep for a jock, since he is parking to work there, but to say no one pays to go to work would be incorrect.

Nobody said no one pays to go to work. We are not talking about renting a space to have a car in the city, nor tolls, nor gas, nor paying for a taxi or commuting on a train.

We are talking about people being charged to park at their place of employment, charged to park on company property.

I think it would be nice if the first race were delayed, as all the jocks were still in their cars out on the street, having "forgotten" to bring fifty bucks cash with them so that they can park their cars on the company lot.

How much do the owners and trainers have to pay to park their cars at the track that day? The mutual clerks? The stewards? The catering employees?
