I don't have a problem with a jockey punting the horse he is riding - you then know hes not going to drop his hands a stride or two before the line!

.....over the years I have witnessed at least a dozen of these bent little f@ckers openly getting a brown bag from the bookie's counter..... :ohmy:
....and no one said a word.....safe to say they were never ever top of their game at the time and their careers after riding days were over..... are a disaster.....KARMA :evil: :evil: :evil:

I say let them punt rather than tipping punters horses without any fear of losing a cent of their own cash. Too many stories of Jocks handling punters in this game. Let them use their own money and take that profit as a present rather than the owner having to shell out.

I had lots of pubs in totes,jocks would come and visit me or friends at the tote, sit with us have a drink something to eat,evry one would walk up to them and ask what they like in the next race wear there is racing, and they would take there own money and have a little bet and evry body would have a fun time,i really don't think it is a problem if I jock wants to play a bet to pass time with friends.they in the game as well they love a bet like us. I don't see the big deal if they have a bet or not.

Imo, in this case, I don't see a problem either. However I do see a problem if they are laying bets for races they are competing in, especially if they have backed another runner. That is totally offside.... Other sportsmen have had their careers ended due to the same thing...

Never seen a jockey put his own money on a horse. It never happens. They find some sucker to put his own cash on for them.

the jockeys always were going to Savas shop as he made the best burgers in town. Whenever a jockey could not make the weight you knew that they had spent the previous day at Savas shop :lol:

Gambling can be an addiction and leads to other addictions, when someone gets addicted to something concetration and morals can be lost, all leading to problems in a proffessional enviroment..
