I simply utilized what was already there. No, for the hundredth time I did not make the hole in the fence. This became very apparent to me when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old and used to watch a lot of races from a hole in the fence at Aqueduct, right where the far turn rounded into the stretch. They had preferences in how they rode also, as in on the lead, or off the pace, or on the rail, or on the outside. I started noticing riders had tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. While we will look at their early budding careers, already laden with accomplishments, we’ll also look at what makes these dream teams and great riders tick and some intangibles.īeing a fan and student of the game, I started watching riders and horses at a very young age. These young men are at The Top of the World, and they deserve to be there, and it is a privilege to share why. They also have the right agents creating nothing short of a dream team. and his slightly younger brother Jose both have the talent, drive, dedication and ability it takes. To reach the highest level in The Sport of Kings as a jockey takes a number of factors, one is having a top agent who really understands the game.

It is no different with most professional athletes, jockeys included. Sure, to play in the NFL you must be a good football player, but the differences in contracts screams out all players are not created equal. Trips, decisions, and talent impact races and horses. To ride professionally takes talent, fearlessness, and dedication, but don’t make the mistake all are equally gifted, and that any jockey would simply win every time given the best horse. I also think we see examples of riders helping horses win daily, and also costing horses races. I have been watching races and riders a long time, and the rider makes a world of difference and affects the outcomes of countless races. I never understood the position some people take in horse racing, when they say the rider doesn’t matter.
