Selection Of Jockeys
Selection of Jockeys- On a daily basis we enter a handful of horses on the Southern California circuit but trying to find the perfect rider who fits our horse is not always easy to do. Because the guys who are on the top of the standings are in high demand, if we wait too long to decide where we are going, we have less of a chance of getting their services. At the same time, some of the top rider’s agents are known to commit early and “spin” you late on day of entry; this happens when they feel like they can ride a better horse. Luckily, here in Southern California we have 5-10 world-class jockeys and a handful of up and coming stars. However, the next time you pick up an overnight and see “so and so” on your horse… he/she may not have been the first choice.
