How do they get there?
11 years 10 months ago
South Africa is a big country and most centres have there own detachment of Jockeys and Appies.
During the week there are a number of meetings at Kimberley,PE and also.KZN,W Cape Joburg and also Zim where jockeys regularly travel to meetings from other centres.
There must be a big travelling cost factor involved here and I am not sure who picks up the tab for this.
Is it the jockeys,trainers,owners,the clubs Gold Circle or Phumelela or is it a combination of sum of these?
In addition are there private plane operators or are commercial domestic airlines used.
Not concerned about Tellytrack people as we pay for them.
Could someone enlighten me.

Some stables subsidise their jockeys travel costs but most riders cover their own costs, Kim riders have a bus the transports them from Jhb but jocks from other centers have to cover their own costs to jhb...they can claim these expenses back from tax..
Give everything but up!
