This is the stupidest thing to argue about. Jockeys have gotten huge increases in winning mount fees at a lot of tracks which they always seem to forget. But the horseman are too rigid in some cases. What the hell is the difference between giving the guy $50 or $60 bucks a mount?
What I really want to know is what the least effective and biggest joke of an organization in racing (a tough thing to be considering the many useless groups), the ACRI is doing setting fee schedules? They cant effectively run their own house or enforce the rules they have without coming up with complex indexes modeled after federal COLA's? That is a joke. So if the current handle trend continues or levels off the jocks will get a raise every year while everyone else takes it on the chin? C'mon man....
