If a jock a) Hasn't worked the horse in the morning, b) ridden the horse before or c) actually looked at the PPs of the races prior, then chances are Plan D...instructions..aren't going to work so well

what's the saying

Good jocks don't need instructions and
bad ones can't follow them.

When I see new tactics.. always wonder if it is trainer or jockey.
if there is a switch I wonder who's idea it was and if it is 2nd time up I assume everything is as it should be and will get the ride I am supposed to.
