Jockeys...Animal Planet

I thought this week's episodes were much better than last week's.


the one thing that bothers me is the phony racecalls from Trevor Denman.

Would love to know what gave you that conclusion. If you're going by results, I find it hard to believe at least some of that didn't have a lot to do with being given mostly lousy horses. Nevermind being a woman from another country so getting them to give you anything to ride period seemed to be a struggle.

ie Inez Karlson at Arl? Guess trainers are only prejudice against Ausies and not Sweeds. She can't ride period!! AM or PM. Get rid of the baby fat and bad attitude. Makes friends w/Brandon M and then sulks when he wins his first? Sorry back to Australia where she belongs.

I'm willing to bet that was a major edit.

For those of you trying to convince yourselves that Kayla Stra is better looking than that Sutherland woman:

Your taste has been called into question.

There is no one set standard for what makes a woman attractive. Every guy has a different taste.

To me, Sutherland looks like another boring blonde. I like dark hair on a woman...I find it attractive.

She sucked in Australia as well, poor girl.

Hot is nothing that comes to mind when I see her. Now Chantel? Whole other story.

Explains a lot about the 'better than sex' remark Kayla made.

Seriously though what was she doing in Australia that made her bad? I honestly don't know, it's not that I'm defending her. I just enjoyed hearing some of the things like with Baffert this past week discussing Brandon and his height as one thing that made people nervous. That's an actual point that doesn't indicate a bias like 'I lost money and I blame the jock, ergo he/she sucks.' There was some discussion about Gomez vs. Smith that, again, indicated exactly why you'd go with one or the other based on technique.

Kayla said herself she had problems as a younger person and supposedly has it under control so maybe she didn't do herself any favors. One of the other jockeys on the show said she often rides horses anybody else would avoid so that can't help. Does she not place her horse well? Does she manhandle them? What does she do other than not win frequently? Like what would be her fault specifically? I'm just trying to learn.
