Would Vertically Handicapped be a more politically correct term?

That would be the Summerhill sale. Shongweni sale is today.<

No price list up yet for yesterday.

Surely if Jockeys only contributed to 5% of a Horses Winning chance, every trainer would use the Jocks who get up at Sparrow Fart to ride work for them, Rain, Hail or Shine:)-D

Exactly Ships good point 5perc ridiculous

you would see that top jocks are exactly that and deserve respect for their talent which counts for much more than 5 perc on a horse that i know for sure

Therefore I ask you all this question..

Would Igugu have won the J&B Met is Delpech was not the Jockey?

ofcourse they are top jocks and deserve respect..what im saying is give anton marcus gunter wrogemann's rides and see if he wins the title and give gunter anton's rides and he will also ride plenty of winners..anton will be the first one to tell you the horse makes the jockey and its all about rides..my point is just about any jockey can do the job..but top guys can make a difference..arguing about what percent is just stupid...you put the average guys on top horses and they will do the job too..chad little on pomodora for example..

mark sutherland was an average rider and lookat how many features he won for terence millard...its all about the horse
