Isnt it expensive enough to own horses without being hit up for another expense?
You do understand that we have a shortage of owners but an overabundance of jockeys?

Wouldnt you have to pay for the horse to be worked anyway if it was an exercise rider who did it?
Sure at NYRA or some of the big tracks where the jockeys make more money than all of us combined, that jock should wave the fee.
But if a guy/gal is struggling to get by.. why should they not get paid for the work they do?
