I am not a jockey. When was the last time you were a NFL lineman? Is the NFL suffering because of the health problems associated with the extreme high weights that linemen must carry to be able to do thier jobs? Why do jockeys have to be of a certain nationality?
Problems that jockeys have with their weight is an individual jockey problem. The sport has made some moves to alleviate the really low weights. If this is not enough for you then I would love to hear your recommendations other than to say that we should subject horses to more weight because jockeys are eating at Wendy's.
I assure you that there is NOT a shortage of jockeys.
