Bookmaking is  the best carrier 

Godzilla those words were ripping  and topic head their is no need of worrying about these jockeys worry about the horses or punters who are loosing their family ,house ,respect.do u even no that pain?stop worrying about jockeys there is no need for it.

Most of the jockeys who come into this profession are stable hands sons/ relatives, riderboys/sons,realtives, jockeys sons/relatvere. You can see more than 5-8 from a single family and relatives. Others come into this to make quick money since their background and education will not fetch any job. Lot of these apprentices have punters from whom they get money from tipping. The jockeys are interlinked from different centers and they keep passing the tips to each other. The punters feel and it is true that whenever these apprentices ride,these mounts when on job most of the time it places with good odds. Some apprentices charge RS.50000/ to give tips some sort of registration and you will have to back for them some amount which may vary. In Bangalore few years back a jockey paid RS.5 lacs to get apprentice license. Then you can understand the motive to get into this profession. Only a handful from affluent society come for the passion in racing and riding. I think this is also now nil.

First of all once got into the racing field the jockey should understand the profession and the risks involved. They should always try to learn more about the animals and increase the riding ability. More than that they should be genuine to the coonections and obey the orders either to win or pull and should not be Involved in gambling. I have seen a lot of jockeys openly I nvolved in betting and cheating the connections and also the friends who takes care of them, my experience. Those jockies never prosper and most of them become poppers and come to us at latter stage for small help. But some honest jockies always prosper. The govt had no obligation to take care of them.

To become jockey or trainer is not easy going for anyone who wishes so. They have to pass many exams and hurdles for getting licenses. Racing centres do recruit new jockeys and trainers as per their demand exists. After obtaining licenses it all depend upon individual’s performance whether the career remain promising or good and they have to be prepared for all types of ups and downs. Opportunities are to be availed to perfection otherwise second and third chances may or may not come, considering the competition. In every field this is the same scenario. You yourself is to be blamed for your success and failure. As far as facilities and payments are concerned I can say with confidence in present days it is far good and they are assured of on time payment, medical facilities and after retirement benefits.

It is not in the hand of any individual that as per like he/ she become jockey or trainer. Tough conditions are laid down and they all have to work very very hard for success and survival. Their good show and good result only keep them high otherwise nobody can help and keep them sustain.

Now a days top Indian Jockies ride today in Mumbai, tomorrow Hyderabad, dayafter Calcutta and next day Bangalore and the very next day in Chennai.

The Jockeys, therefore, cannot ride any horse to potential. Its just a routine for them and winning will not be a criteria for them. Riding is a  fun for them.

Punters in different centres will take the beating. They are born for that.

You can see this happening from the just concluded Chennai Derby and the results.
