work riders - what have we created?

Yip GB...it's not....

@Easy...I do not know if James Maree is being paid a good salary do do what he's doing.....

neither do i, but james has done a wonderful thing and if he continues then the cream will rise to the top. I also hope that in james's business model its catered for that the training they receive also means he has "work riders" to ride his work. if this is the case then the trade off is he gets them for "cheap" in return for a tuition.

of course some are going to get pinched and some will become lazy but the philosophy is sound and should continue.

@Easy, my apologies, assuming that you are being greatly compensated.

I learned my lesson

Now i have

pascal
kerry
mark
ruben

ALL on minimum wage for 6 months and the £7-5ph for 3 months and then £10 ph for 3 months.....if they stay a full year then they can earn the £1000 a week (or more) but if they leave ive made my money

Easy come....easy go....
the value is not in the price....but in the difficulty of achievement....(tu)

Surely there should be some minimum requirements to qualify to ride in a "work rider" race, like, maybe, workride X number of horses/week?

What happened to the days when people took there job serious.They must get rid of the arseholes while can because can you imagine when they qualify they will think that the owners and trainers will need them to ride.Simple break there arms.
