I went to school with a gal jockey named Debbie Schaber who raced on the Nebraska Circuit for a long time.She now trains at places like Mountaineer and Charlestown.The gal had no life outside of horses and she probably married one.hehe!She was an ok gal and I was a friend but you will never find more dedicated people to their trade than jockeys.It's not a 9-5 job where they go home and mow the lawn or do a woodworking project in their spare time.

It is not a 9-5 if you are a serious horse player also.

Horses are a lot of work, thank to god I´m not into that.

these bottom level jockeys have to go harass trainers at 5am every day to give them a chance to ride...i dont know how a lot of them get enough to survive on
