Racing Jockey
How much of horse racing success depends on the jockey?
I've always wondered. It seems that most of the skill would lie with the horse, since its the one doing the racing. But obviously the jockey must be trained as well. Can someone tell me exactly what role the jockey plays?
Hi,
A jockey has a very dangerous job, but a very important one. He must guide the horse in the correct way as to know how his horse runs, and performs during a race. It is his responsibility to get his horse in the correct position, and know how to guide him through traffic going at very high speeds while the rest of the field is fighting to do the same. Jockey error has played a huge roll in injuries to other jockey's and horses. The horse does the running, but it is up to the jockey to know how fast the horse runs, and when to ask the horse for his best without compromising. So the roll of a jockey is very important. Without a jockey it would be like racing a car with no driver. Hope this explains it to you.
