Are Zim Jocks Glorified Grooms?

12 years 7 months ago

5 SA jockeys riding in Zim today - local jocks can't be too happy - they have one meeting a week with tiny fields and SA riders take a huge chunk of their rides? :S

I think it's a shame

Titch, generally does Zim racing run true to form more often than SA racing?

Titch your business knowledge is certainly lacking ,why dont you go live there and why does everyone always end up in South Africa I think you are talking from your pocket. ,fact is fact South Africa pays all the airfares to Zimbabwe .Brains are for thinking Titch feet are for dancing. All ex zim boys to name a few BRUSS MATCHET MAGNER if it was profitable why come south .
