With the performance of SAF in Dubai over the last 10 years you would have thought there would be some interest in SAF being involved in the Jockeys challenge yesterday and today?

Fair comment, although in recent seasons the bulk of SA trainers' best results in Dubai have come with non-SA jockeys.

be serious sheza our jocks are not in the same class as dettori,soumillon,fallon,buick,barzelona etc etc.to u they may look world class wen they riding amongst themselves here in sunny sa, but they will look ordinary wen getting avg mounts against the worlds best riders.

Dont agree Marcus/Delpech/Strydom could hold their own anywhere

Jay Peg/Vengence of Rain/JJ comes to mind

Maybe they read the "Worst ride of the month" thread and decided against inviting us.
