finishing in the top four or six means you've earned your selection, i don't see why anyone should mourn about it.....

He rides at 58kgs, so his rides could be allotted accordingly...

But since he is Cape based, i doubt any effort will ever be made to get him onto the team

Delpech finished 5th. Marcus 6th. Delpech holds the SA record for most winners in the season. He is no slouch. He won't appreciate Anton getting in ahead of him.

Would it not make more sense to use the percentage of winners per rides as a guideline rather than amount of winners. With all due respect and not taking away anything from BLING and the rest, when you have ridden up to 3 times the amount of rides compared to other jocks, there would be a problem if you weren't up there. Once again I am not specifically saying him, just using him as an example.

Are you living your life or waiting to die?

Guys I think they should stick to rules e.g. if you don't make top four in English premier league you don't quality to play in champions league even if you are Manchester utd so jockeys rules should be same
