Jockey Title restrictions unfair??

Why does Gavin use the other changing room at the BigT ,clash of personalities? to get in the zone? or big man syndrom?

He will make you eat those words...wanna know why?

'Cos besides Owners and Trainers, HE also believes in himself,and especially in Cape Town,us Punters love him.

He is also the ONLY Jockey [imvho] with character...never a dull day's racing with him around.

Not sure about big T, but definitely vaal and heard he parked around the corner and not even in the Jocks parking. Some of the guys took offense, most don't care

Who was the last Zim champion jockey, D.Williiams or Quinton Riddle?
Will be mighty interesting to see the stats as to how many winners and placings to rides and stakes .Or does it not matter anymore to Mashonaland?

I wonder if anybody has considered how much title chasing SA jockeys, stimulate Saftote pools for Zim. racing

Quinton Riddle 22
Lance Pagel 16
Kevin Derere 10

Both Quinton 9128) and Kevin (124) had more rides than Gavin (104)

Looking at those stats for the season for a ZIM jockey and to think that Striker has already bagged 10 wins for the period 01-08 to 15-08-2012 and the Zim season only starts in Sept!

One thing's for sure, the tally of 22 wins for the season for a Zim jockey is sure to be overtaken a lot earlier in the season now that no title-chasing jocks can use Zim to secure good mounts.

Of course that won't stop other regular S.A.jocks from riding in Zim as per usual but it would be interesting to see who secures the mounts from the powerful Lisa Harris yard , or will it be business as usual?

gav will remain the stable jock...they are racing for decent stakes now
