in my opinion this trend lends itself to a monopoly being formed.
no competition
no chance for the little guy.
More for less
and less for more
this is another sign of the decay and imminent death of Horse racing in SA if nothing is done.

My summary: more jockeys before but better jockeys today.

Was just looking through some records


Muzi Yeni has had 1000+ rides for the last 8 years in a row

No wonder the top 10 don't want to ride in the rain - They earn enough without any inconvenience!!!!
