jockeyman@rocketmail.com asked:
Is there a good way to get into harness racing as a jockey? Anybody know any good contacts? Are the size requirements the same for a throughbred horse where you ride on the horse rather than on a cart? From what I understand you can be a little bigger if riding on a cart?

Edward K asked:
If you owned a thoroughbred and could pick any jockey that is still riding professionally to ride for you, who would it be? Would you pick the same rider for a sprint or a route? Turf or dirt?
Wow, surprisingly strong West Coast representation so far. All the guys mentioned are outstanding, though (except for Jara) getting a little long in the tooth. P Val is always dangerous in any type of race, Corey is especially strong on turf, and the longer the race is, the more I like Alex Solis. I’ve seen Solis fly out of nowhere at the end of a mile and 1/8, mile and a quarter, it’s an awesome thing to behold.

Tea B asked:
I’m talking about a jockey who actually rides a horse…not the other forms of appropriation of jockey.
Wow! That is quite, quite light! I can barely imagine. I’m 5′9″ and 125lbs and no I’m not looking to be a jockey. I’m considered light for runners but certainly not light when compared to male jockeys! Wow!

What happens to Jockey horses after their big race?
Filed Under Horse Racing | Comments Off
Blake asked:
What really happens to Jockey horses after they win or lose their “big” race? Do they “retire” the horses? Or do they keep on racing them until the horses get weak and brittle? The person that gives me a link with a nice, good answer gets 10 points.
