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.

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

http://news.bloodhorse.com/article/48671.htm

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.

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