doesn't SHE deserve more chances in JOHANNESBURG ?

The secret is not to concentrate on one jockey(I'm not sure though if the jockey club allows an agent to book rides for a few jocks but i think they do) - she should speak to other struggling jocks and get 4-5 of them together - then approach someone to act as agent for all of them - the agent then has the task of making sure he calls the trainers and offers the services of the whole group at the same time he/she then offers a member or even the whole group to ride work at say the vaal on wednesday - eventually they will gain the trust of trainers if they are riding work and they will all reap the rewards if they are prepared to work

can always find someone to 'take-over' the lease should nicci get a good offer to relocate

wonbyamile............. here is exactly where the problem is " get a good offer " they are few and far between.

How long did the relationship last with Derek David & Alexander ? he's partly back now.
How long with Fortune & Alexander ?
How long with Brandon / Zaki ? ....................... the list goes on & on, these relationships are not cast in stone as is perhaps your job & my job.

On the flip side Elvis

How long has Naude been with Spies

Mienie/simons been with Matchett

Byleveld been with Greeff

The harder you work the luckier you get, Goodluck Nicola

theharder you work the luckier you get....not when it comes to racing

Pirates I prefer to be optimistic when it comes to any situation in life

been in the game my whole life and have seen trainers and jockeys work themselves into the ground and have never had the oppurtunities that other lazier trainers and jocks get...believe me zero justice in this industry...

i prefer to be realistic

If I had a runner in the MET - nicci would be riding it!
The problem lies with the individuals not looking at the bigger picture! When money gets involved- GREED follows!
Human nature I suppose- just wish our 'racing fraternity' would look outside the box or their comfort zones.

But hey racing just keeps us doing the same thing day in and day out!

Its up to us to change the mindsets!

@Pirates
How nice for you

Watch yesterdays great ride (tu)

nice one Hibbs, she needs all the help she can get...... & a few more chances too .
