Jockeys with beards?

Probably does not warrant a separate thread but was watching a race from Australia and one of the jocks had a full beard and to be honest in my many years in racing I can't remember seeing a jock with a beard ?
Does anyone come to mind?
It must be for aerodynamics

Silly replies accepted

The late Peter Dillon is the only jockey who had a beard at some stage.

Gotta keep the chin warm at those high speeds.

Chin straps?

Why jockeys don't have beards.............


'Cos that's where the hay comes from to feed the horse and make it go fast


Their voices haven't broken yet, you can't expect them to start shaving.


So that when they win a close run race, it's by a short head..... not a whisker!


I would say that they could, but most choose not to because it is excess weight...

Its probably the norm in Afghanistan racing.

To avoid possible confusion with parts of the horses anatomy

Haven't seen any in my life time and not even one with a moustache !

Beard most likely to tickle the horse some where to get it going some where :woohoo:
