jocks want to be contractors, arranging individual rides--yet want someone else to foot the bill for this independance. you can't have your cake, eat it, and send someone else the bill.
trainers hire staff-they are their employees, working for said trainer day in and day out. the jock shows up long enough to get on the horse, ride the race, take a pic if lucky enough, and go to the next horse, with the next trainer, etc.....
seems the whole point in having the guild would be so that the jocks, collectively, could get the coverages they need, without it costing the lesser-paid a fortune.
