We are all private contractors... we all decide what we will and won't do... the trainers are contracted by owners... the help is contracted by trainers.... the jocks are contracted by both and the track is the one who is responsible for the conditions of the workplace! We are all responsible.... now if we could get simulcasting money like the jocks did... why is it just jocks?? We all put on the show and should get adequate insurance for all...
there is a top 10% in each catagory.. owner,trainer, jock, groom... they make money... the rest get scraps!
of course the sheet guy should be covered!! what if a horse ran off the track and ran him over?? just cover everybody!!
